Leaving this place would be overall detrimental to you, despite if you think it may satisfy your current emotional needs. These people you conflict with don't speak for everyone and don't entirely represent JOS or Satanism. I don't mean this in a negative way; we are ALL growing and learning. However, this growing process may get stifled if you choose to entirely disconnect yourself from JOS.
There are many prominent black members here, so don't think you are totally stifled by your race. That is not to say you won't have conflicts with others, but it is important now, and forever into the future, that we are able to grow together as Satan's children. Your leaving would deprive us of another high-quality black person, further hurting the community here, and it would do nothing to solve the racial tensions that exist.
With all of this in mind, it would be best to take steps that may resolve your emotions without resorting to fully destructive actions such as deleting your account and erasing your presence. For example, you can take time off to let things calm down.
You may be surprised, as well, that your relationships with everyone will improve over time, even with those who you may have fought with. People may be rude because they perceive you as an acquaintance, but as you continue to exist here, you will become more like family. Therefore, even when someone is upset with you, they will put in more effort to preserve their relations with you.
Hopefully, I have changed your opinion, and you feel more optimistic about staying here. This place has a high attrition rate due to many different factors, so we really cannot afford to lose people, especially over silly fighting.
