Robert H. commented on Donald R Barbera's blog post The Price of Tea
"It is sad but the loss of friends and acquaintances over these philosophical differences is to be expected; especially when the believer's faith is rooted in emotions, fear and vanity. It is almost certain that the garden variety believer did…"

"Dele, I often wonder; why were our ancestors so gullible and inviting to these alien religious systems? When the first Europeans came to the shores of West Africa with this "holy book" in one hand a gun in the other; why didn't the…"

Robert H. replied to Adebowale Ojowuro's discussion OUR IGNORANCE IS GOD (Part 1) in the group Black Freethought
"I've had similar encounters with "E.M.S." Christians Adebowale. On my cell phone I have several images of the biosphere and the cosmos. What I've been asking the faithful when they've expressed their desire to…"
Robert H. replied to Adebowale Ojowuro's discussion OUR IGNORANCE IS GOD (Part 1) in the group Black Freethought
"Brother Adebowale has written an excellent book and it deserves a wide audience. I especially enjoyed the last chapter " Lamentation for Africa". His assessment of the African mindset throughout the diaspora is honest and scathing. I would…"

Kenneth W Stephens replied to Robert H.'s discussion Why is it necessary to ask who, what, where, when,why and how? in the group Black Freethought

George replied to Robert H.'s discussion Why is it necessary to ask who, what, where, when,why and how? in the group Black Freethought
"I just read it as being within the historic context of the topic. MLK routinely used the word "Negro".
On the other hand, I don't think it's all that appropriate for everyday use."
Robert H. replied to Robert H.'s discussion Why is it necessary to ask who, what, where, when,why and how? in the group Black Freethought
