So Racism is legal if its a religion.

1. And then you don't have to get vaxxed

since you’re racist ?

2. Not really sure what question you are asking.

Nothing in the video or what I have said is that if you are racist you don't have to have a vaccine. Can you explain how you got to that conclusion?

4. Religious exemption

n/t

✌🏻

6. The religious exemption would be due to it being a religion

not to it being racist though correct? Other religions can have that exemption that aren't racist so that nullifies the racist part as far as the vaccine goes.

3. 'Racism' itself is neither legal or illegal;

acts done due to racism MAY be illegal.

[Eko]

5. You are technically correct.

Excluding people due to race is illegal in this country though and that is my point.

7. I don't believe it's illegal for a church to exclude people of any race.

Repugnant, yes. Against the law, no.

[Eko]

8. And that is my point.

For just about everything it is, but not for religion. That should tell us something. Religions are above the law, pure and simple. They are outside of our form of government and if you think that is ok then you don't believe in Democracy. You believe in a form of Theocracy.

9. I believe you are incorrect. While racial discrimination is illegal in housing, employment, etc.,

if one wishes to create a private racist organization which doesn't involve public accommodation, one can. David Duke founded the National Association for the Advancement of White People in 1980, and it was legal for him to do so.

10. Thats why I said just about everything,

But I can totally concede the point to you. I do have to wonder and maybe you can help me with this. Does a private racist org get not taxable status like a church? If not then my point is still valid as far as a church goes. If so, then my point is still valid. That would be racism supported by the state whether it was a church or a private org and if that doesn't make you upset then it should.

13. A private racist organization is not tax exempt. But....

The tax exempt status of a racist church is not the state supporting racism, any more than the tax exempt status of a non-racist church is the state supporting non-racism. The government doesn't decide whether or not a church is tax exempt based upon its doctrines. which is as it should be.

Whether or not churches is general should be tax exempt is a separate issue.

12. A religion and other private members only kinds of groups can still be exclusive but until TFG

the turnip rickrolled us, it had become cultural poison to belong to an excluding kind of organization. There have been flaps over the years when it has been revealed that elected officials belonged to still excluding private golf clubs.

11. If their tax exemptions were removed would they become

a Multigrain Religion?
