Is it the fault of White fundamentalists that most Africans hate gays? |

But the status of victim does not make the victim pure. There are bigoties, hateful bigotries in every community, whether the community consists of the oppressor or the oppressed.

African tribal culture isn't homophobic. The Baptist missionaries changed all that.

5. Are you saying most of Africa is Baptist? |

Sorry, but the ex-colonies usually have maintained the dominant religion of their former colonial powers: Roman and Anglican Catholic. Not to mention that many African countries also have sizeable Muslim populations. Where are Baptists dominant in Africa?
ON EDIT: Not to mention that there is no such animal as "African tribal culture"--there are hundreds, if not thousands, of African cultures and hundreds of African languages. Today we know little about the pre-colonial history of most of those cultures, so your assertion is unfounded. Or do you have a link to back it up, TrogL?

Please see rule #4 here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4637444. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.
