Black is the Most Disrespected Color in Religion

Discrete identities such as race, religion, gender role, and sexual orientation have been socio-historically utilized to identify and segregate ethnic communities within America because of fallacious notions concerning sin and, consequently, have become weaponized because of current-day culture war issues regarding the role of faith within the public square. Discerning the imbricate societal Carrefour that exists between racism, race, religion, gender expression, and sexual orientation becomes especially portentous when one examines in what furtive ways non-traditional gender identities have now become vilified by some conservative pundits: a civic knife to publicly cut and marginalize and exclude those who do not fit traditional expectations. The study uses a qualitative research methodology to conduct the study. The data was collected from 10 online articles base on thier relevance to the topic. Therefore, the present study seeks to critically interrogate through religious studies weltanschauung the abstruse and intersectional nature of how fraudulent notions of sin, race, gender, and sexual orientation operationally function within religion to oppress both Black heterosexuals and homosexuals.
