But I can't believe that in 25 years, Russ saw no examples of racism in Scientology. I saw two within one very brief visit.

Yeah, well… after 25 years in — whether's he's in or out — "Russ" is still brainwashed to the point where he can't tell black from white. Thank God RVY snapped out of it, and Tash was never sucked in. I cordially invite the "man" who called me a "piece of shit" to step to the plate.

I was in Scientology for 2 years, and I never saw any overt racism in the cult. What I did see was a near-total lack of blacks in the cult. That is because they are not sought after for recruitment, not because they're somehow immune to the recruitment. :-)

The only black I can recall meeting in Scientology was Charles Lakes, an olympic gymnast. That's one white cult in the middle of a city with millions of blacks. Of course, Hubbard was a rabid racist, and had nothing good to say about blacks. He despised them. He hated Chinese, too. Typical racist.

Funny you should mention that. The org I went to was in a city with a high density of blacks (35-50%, much higher than the U.S. average), but I never saw one going to a course at the org; i.e., no African-American scienos.
