Things said about Unitarians: - just a coffee club - where atheists w kids go - for people who miss singing -mixed-religions neutral zone These are just in my personal experience. I like all of these. How people worship matters not to me, but they better not tell me what to do.

So if I understand you correctly, the very same men who openly voiced their opinion that "young Black men just want to impregnate females and commit crime" bemoaned the #UnitarianUniversalist 'church' in Lawton, Oklahoma, having no Black members, "no matter how welcoming we are." How ironic. . .

I used to believe these things about Unitarians. Then when my kids were young and my husband was teaching in Oklahoma and being pressured to join a "church home" we figured the Unitarians were a choice we could stomach. We left because the explicit racism of middle class white people was astounding

There was also the day the discussion group veered to several men voicing their opinion that "young Black men just want to impregnate females and commit crime" when my husband yelled "fuck you people" and walked out he was chided for being bigoted against people with different views.

Well I did say it was explicit racism. It was the UU church in Lawton, Oklahoma. There were more things said along a similar line and of course, on other days, these same people bemoaned the church having no Black members. In their words "no matter how welcoming we are."
