In a not-so-publicized story, an African-American man was on business in Michigan. He was staying at a hotel near a very nice suburb in Detroit. This man is a very religious Christian and he was looking for a church in which to worship.
Surprisingly (sarcasm) he was stopped by the police on a tip from someone walking their dog in the neighborhood. In any case, the police dragged the middle-aged man out of the car, and then performed a rough search. After they found nothing, the African American man asked the police for directions to the church. The policemen "suggested" that the man pray in his hotel room!
Does this story make you want to go pray with your rosary? Christists claim that Hindus "follow the caste system". My answer---Christians follow a more demeaning and disgusting caste system but are too dishonest and cunning to admit it.
The sad part of this story is not the indignity suffered by this man. It's the fact that he actually had some faith in his white god---enough that he wanted to find a church. Sadder still---this man does not believe that he has any other alternatives for his devotion and self-esteem.
Here's the white christist caste system:
Let's start at the top and work our way down:
1. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (from England, Scotland, or Wales)
2. Any white protestants
3. Blonde scandinavian-looking catholics
4. Irish, French Catholics or any Catholics with Nordic features
5. Eastern European Catholics (protestants versions are still higher up)
6. Non-swarthy or non-olive skinned Italian, Spanish Catholics
7. Swarthier Italians, Spanish, or Middle Eastern Catholics
8. South Americans who look and act white (again...the protestant ones are higher up than the catholic ones)
8. Greek Catholics
9. Jews (may get "promoted" by marrying white christians)
10. North African or lighter-skinned Muslims
11. Japanese, Chinese, Koreans who marry white people and adopt christism
12. Japanese, Chinese, Koreans who marry people of their own ethnic group
13. Jewish men who wear yarmulkes
14. Indian/pakistani women who marry white men (fulfill "island girl" fantasy)
15. South Asians of ANY religion
16. Mexicans, Central Americans, non-white looking latinos---"wetbacks"
17. Black women who marry white men
18. Black women who marry black men
19. Black men
Obviously there are many variants to the christist caste system---like any other group, there are economic differences, etc. but in the end this is a pretty solid and rigid caste structure for white christists.
piyush jindal, governor "Mowgli" of louisiana has tried to move up from position #15 to #7 by denigrating Hinduism, completely ignoring and disavowing his Indian heritage, and by going more right wing than even white christists! This has definitely yielded good results for him, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that even white roman catholics (position #3) can't seem to break into the Presidency. How will piyush "mowgli" jindal break into the #1 spot on the white christist caste structure? This is the only way for governor Mowgli to further his career. Well, he has several options:
1. He can change his religion again
Might work, but there are only so many times you can "find god". Even the dimmest of bubbas will figure out that Gov Mowgli is just a sleazy opportunist and piyush can only hope to complete one term and then he'll have to polish his resume' once again.
2. He can bleach his skin
This is an unproven procedure, but he could consult with michael jackson.
As you can see, there are very few options for mobility in the christist caste structure.
Also for you christists out there...
Did you know?
1. That the FIRST President of India was an untouchable?
2. That people from backward castes in India have incredible opportunities available to them through one of the most massive affirmative action programs anywhere in the world?
3. Nowadays, the caste structure in India is dissolving fast.
Basically, the white christist caste structure is far more rigid than the supposedly Hindu one, even though caste is not even mentioned in the Hindu scriptures.

Hmm. Typical ignorance.
The caste system was combined with the law, until about 50 years ago so that means it was lawfully correct to oppress a Dalit. And what about them now? They are still many being treated cruelly everyday. The caste system is not dissolving fast, though it may be illegal. There are still MANY, MANY young people who are afraid to have 'intercaste' marriages. Btw, "CHRISTIST" is not a word, it's "Christian", it's Indians like you who continuously murder the English language. Yes many people are discriminated everyday in America, but this happens everywhere, not just with "CHRISTISTS" (Not everyone in America is a Christian, and only 12% of them are devoted, and regularly attend church.) Do not even deny the extensive discrimination a black man would face in India.
wild but classy,
Thank you for your comment. I do appreciate all comments.
"Christist" IS a word. It is a follower of the cult of christ. When your high priest commands his flock to drink the blood and eat the body of your god, and you are commanded to spread the word to the "lower races" and that anyone who doesn't believe in your version of the truth is damned to eternal hell, this is the mark of a CULT.
However you couch and conceal it, christianity is a business and is an empire; a vast empire that represents a natural extension of the ethos of white racial domination and white nationalism.
In your post you mentioned that a black man would face discrimination in India and that people are deathly afraid of intercaste marriages.
What planet do you live on?
In 2008 I know of several interracial couples in the US who are constantly hounded by the police and in one instance had guns pointed at them by young white christian men in places like Georgia and even New York.
To THIS DAY, there are black churches completely bare of white people and there are white churches wherein if a black person should even show their face, they would be very unwelcome.
In India, casteism is being dissolved aggressively. I know of dalit doctors, attorneys, businesspeople, etc. In the christian world, the divisions are being solidified even further.
Incidentally, I have a close relationship with many blacks who have been to India and I can swear they tell me, "I passed a group of Indian cops and they actually smiled and waved at me."
Indian shopkeepers don't follow any of the blacks around their shops, as happens in pious christian countries.
In the book of Genesis, the christian caste system is completely laid out in chapter 9 when they state that the sons of Ham must serve the sons of Shem. This is the basis of Jim Crow in the South.
There is NOT even anything like this anywhere in the Hindu scriptures.

Wild but classy,
You will notice that this was a white women who got beaten by the police, BUT, if you look carefully, it looks like her two daughters are half black or hispanic. I think this is significant in that it represents a violation of your christist miscegenation edicts.
No, the term for a follower of Christ would be Christian, NOT Christist. I used to be Christian so hear me out. There is NO caste system in the Bible, it says Jesus will accept anyone no matter who they may be. It says we are equal in God's eyes. It says we shall treat everyone like a brother and sister, because after all we all came from Adam and Eve. I'm not saying it is okay to judge someone based on their race, but black people have given whites a reason to "follow them around in shops". But these white people who stereotype are uneducated, this has nothing to do with their religion. Only low life uneducated white people discriminate, but discrimination is everywhere and India is no exclusion. You say you have black friends who have been to India? Why the hell would a black person want to go to India? You are just saying that to get your point across. I know Indian people, my parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents are Indians, and they do not allow themselves to have anything to do with and condemn the black community.
Open your eyes. Racism is everywhere. And you say Hinduism is the religion of love, but why are so adamant about spreading hate on Christianity? Your arrogant thinking is very common within Indians; why do you think Hinduism is better than Christianity? That's obviously what you are trying to portray. No one is going to convert to Hinduism. All religions are corrupt.
