here are black atheists and black humnists.  Not enough, but they are
slowly coming out.

Riginald Finley, the infidel guy (google it) is black.

Norm allen is black.  http://www.iheu.org/IHN/v1-2/norm_r.htm

I do not know their positon on the Bright constituency.

I don't usually make it a point to exercise discrimination in any form.
Anyone who considers themselves part of the Bright constituency is welcome
to sign up.  Ethnic background is of no consequence.

In just the past month, the Brights' network has expanded geographically
from 3 nations to 57 (that's 30% of the countries in the world). The
Dennett article in the New York Times produced over 1,000 new Brights in
19 hours.

I can't imagine that if there are 57 nations represented that there are no
asians or blacks or hispanics.  

If you have information about each and every member of the Bright
constituency which proves that there are no minorities, please provide it.

Meanwhile, I am hopeful that the Bright constituency will eventually be a
very technicolor constituency.

A very nice lady and a tireless worker in the support of freethought and
atheism.
