Religion and religious conflict are entangled with race and racism throughout American history. As Satanists, we position ourselves as compassionate and empathetic people dedicated to undermining decrepit social prejudices. But Satanism has consistently attracted a mostly white audience, and some people have color report that they face particular challenges in both Satanic and non-Satanic communities. So what’s the state and nature of Satanic diversity? By popular request, we’re talking to Louisville Friends of Satan founder Detryck Von Doom about race, religion, and Satanism in 2018, plus reading our own unfaithful listener’s testaments. Also, we’re hitting the streets at San Francisco’s Sunday Streets in the Tenderloin, and before that we’ve got a big announcement about the future of Satanic San Francisco. All of our listeners' emails can be found here on our blog.
Praise, condemnation, questions, and other cromulent words can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.
