CommentsRe: Astrology, Prejudice and Racism
Racism? [ Sat Jun 21 2008 1:09 PM ]
I have been a practitioner of Astrology for over 6 years and know better to get in a tussle with someone who just doesn't trust Astrology. I am not here to argue the validity of Astrology with you, just your use of the word Racism in the title of your article for what I hope is sensational value and NOT what you truly believe. I can see your arguement for prejudice (although I don't agree, personally.) But racism? Astrology has nothing to do with RACE, Racism, in case you have forgotten, is discrimation on race, ancestry, or skin color. Connecting the two ideas is ignorant and dangerous. How can you even COMPARE the type of crimes and cruelties caused by racism to astrology? You can't! You don't have to like or trust what we do, but Astrology makes no more dangerous assumptions than psychology does. Which, while more widely accepted is not a science either. In fact if you weren't aware famed psychoanalyst Carl Jung subscribed to Astrology and many practicing Astrologers are Psychologists in their full time work. We are respectable people, not white shrouded hate mongers wishing to hurt and exercise superiority! In the future, try not to mistake the two.
