A black pope is nothing new.....

Pope St. Victor (189 A.D.), Pope St. Militiades, and Pope St. Gelasius.

  Quite right!
  So what.
  
  The point here is that this is a sick little racist bit of crap;
  - and is a line drawn for you to cross if you want to even
  pretend to be a moral person.
  
  Do it;
  - or not.
  
  But don't bother pretending the line is not there.

    Holy cow, chill out and relax!
    
    All I was doing was pointing out a little historical perspective here. Of course I think it's racist. Don't I have the choice to talk a little history first?
    
    Judas priest!

      Have to agree with Buck. Although s/he and I disagree often on politics I don't think I've seen s/he post anything overtly racist or intentionally post anything subtly racist either. It looks to me like s/he was just pointing out that we'd already had African Popes. In fact the likelyhood of an African Pope is higher these days as African Catholics are hard-line conservative Catholics. The real miracle would be a Jesuit Pope.

        thanks Dionys. Once in a while it's ok to agree right?
        
        I alos agree that the likelihood of an African pope is extremely strong. If you look at the Cardinals right now, many are in line for the pontiff's position. Isn't there an African Cardinal in the US right now?
