It's all in the mind. If you were Salt of the Earth would you be comfortable dining with m'lord lady in 'he big' all? As m'lord could you avoid being condescending to him outdoors? Neither would be truely comfortable in each others company.

Colour is just a variation of class differences.

Here it is often a simple case of belonging to a different tribe. :D

Which I saw clearly in Nairobi almost 50 years ago and true also of religion be it Jew, Catholic or Muslim.

My mother was a lapsed Irish Catholic and her sister rabidly anti Catholic to her dying day even specifying where she was not to be cremated and refusing a Catholic ministration.

Does this claptrap add anything to the discussion? or is it an indication of how low can you go?

Yes please. Also all the spin off religions.

The problem, as I see it, is that the religions started off as ways of life, codification for health and hygiene, laws and mores. Naturally there is no one universal concept of right and wrong. Over 2,000 years ago there were clear disagreements, some 600 years later there were still arguments and new directives.

At some point these all became immutable laws. The 'lawyers' had a vested interest in controlling and the Enlightenment in effect created yet another split albeit not attributing the origin to some mythical being.

I am sure others will disagree and some even violently.

And probably Christianity to boot.
Many people in Africa wanted education; and missionaries taught people to read, in order that they might understand the word of God. The missionary traveler David Livingstone (1813-1873) believed that the slave trade could only be suppressed by a combination of Christianity and trade.
So good works for the wrong reasons?

'and probably right?"

Could well be right, but not in the context that the article is trying to portray, or not to my way of thinking anyway.
Surely the followers of these religions, and there are many so called religions, including those that are followed by non whites, that do absolutely nothing to denigrate other ethnicities.
'is that the religions started off as ways of life, codification for health and hygiene, laws and mores" Is a very good description, and certainly the followers of many of these religions, apart from the belief in a mythical being, have had much more successful life styles then the so called pagans, or followers of nothing more than tribalism.
," Hopper seeks to “unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against Black bodies"

That is the statement, by a supposedly educated person, that is patently ludicrous. In my opinion.

Of your last, is true and he has inverted the truth. Segregation and violence was against the heathen. Those converted to Christianity were not heathen and to segregate and enslave was not Christian. That is where Livingstone was attempting.

Took more than 100 years in some parts of the World.

Where is the Knee Taking actually done and recognised? I know they do it in Formula 1 and obviously the England Football team. We have an eclectic bunch here, in what countries or sports is knee taking a feature?

Cricket, rugby, baseball, women's sports, Australia, Spain....?

Well, in my house, frequently - a man has to eat and have his socks darned, after all.

Nobody has taken my knees. Mrs OFSO however would be happy having her knees taken and replaced by pain-free ones.

Here's an angry mum putting the verbal knee into the spineless cowards indoctrinating her children and others, truly a warming and warning sight for the 'woke PC' brigade;

Repetition but bears repeating. A problem is that some Mom's don't care.
