Thanks for engaging my question(s) and replying.

I hear what you are saying. I don’t necessarily agree with each of the correlations you made with the various service examples.

For example, I don’t see (albeit perhaps they exist), businesses titled “Black Hair Cuts” or “Haircuts for BIPOCs”.

With churches, I have seen a few of them identifying their target audience in the branding, for example here in Florida we are a melting pot of cultures and have seen an influx of Haitians, or Cubans, or other ethnicities due to Hurricane refugees.

So I’ve seen a few “Haitian” or “Christian Indian” or “African Methodist Episcopal (AME)” churches.

To your point about churches I do see those.

I suppose what I wrestle with (not with you per se but more generally speaking) is that as a country (USA) race (skin color) is used to divide us so many times.

Ironically, even though my skin color is White, I grew up as the minority in my community as I was in an area of town that was heavily populated by Hispanic people.

I guess my point is I can see the prudence (pride in one’s) ethnicity but don’t see the benefit to labeling by skin color (what has been distorted into the term “race”).

Like I can just imagine the uproar if I created a group called “White Bitcoin Society”…

I wouldn’t because that would merely perpetuate the racial divide.

WHEN the fact is humans are all one race…homosapiens.
(In biology, race is used informally to divide a species into distinct groups)

Sadly humans have distorted the term “race” to divide by skin color, body types, facial features, et cetera…

That’s all a power and control thing which from my understanding of the Bitcoin ethos, is not authentic to the Bitcoin culture.

So I guess that’s my point and what I personally would love to see… (not to over quote or placate MLK Jr. but that was the crux of his speeches, that we would be seen as human not by the color of our skin)

I’d love to see Bitcoiners helping people just because we are people. No other labels.

Just people helping and loving on other people…much like Jesus did and would do.
