I am new to this forum and like many others I have heard many rumors. Many I have discounted as they have came from people with obvious Christian agendas but others are harder to disprove. I have met several "satanists" on the internet who have said that Satanisms was intended as a religion for Caucasians. I normally would ignore this but there are things like asking about ethnicity on the membership application and a large portion of writings in German even though Dr. La Vey was from California. I am Caucasian myself but I just wondered because come to think of it I have never met a black Satanist.

"Read our literature carefully, and place the information you gather into proper context. You'll find that we are furthest from the racist dealings of the masses. Quality comes from many sources. Also, check out our official website."

And here's another quote of interest on this subject:

"I was always for civil rights. I had Negro friends when Negro friends weren't fashionable. A man should be judged on his accomplishments, his kindness and his consideration for others ... Martin Luther King was killed because he was an articulate gentlemen, concerned about his wife and family. He tried to do things in a mannerly way. A man like that belongs on a pedestal."

-- Dr. Anton LaVey, as quoted in Popular Witchcraft by John Fritscher, 1972.
