The Lord Jesus came as a brown-skinned Jew with African ancestors whose teachings would put Him at serious risk for deportation.

The false teaching that empathy is a β€˜sin’ is an example of white evangelicals following right-wing personalities more closely than Jesus.

To call victims of racism and remedies for racism racist is a common tactic used by … racists. Reflect on that!

Among the most evil forces at work in America are those seeking to erase the contributions and experiences of Black people. We will not be erased!

People intent on preventing truth telling concerning America’s racial history are both cowardly and complicit in white supremacy.

The goals of Project 2025/the current administration are the exact opposite of Christ’s call in Matthew 25 for his followers to care for the most vulnerable in society.

There’s a historical connection between lawless January 6 insurrectionists not held accountable and perpetrators of racial lynchings not held accountable.

Elections have consequences, and Americans are beginning to see the real life consequences of the 2024 election.

The Bible is clear … God will judge ungodly rich men who, in their greed, exploit common people to pad their pockets with more.

When you invite guests to your house, you should show them hospitality and respect, treating them as equals, not as underlings. That’s obvious if one is a decent human being.

If your version of Christianity is focused on privileging Christians in society and political domination, that is NOT the Christianity of Christ.

One of the oldest tricks in the racist’s bag is to colonize, weaponize, and demonize terms intended to support Black empowerment like β€œwoke,” β€œCRT,” and β€œDEI.”

I post this pic of me meeting Rosa Parks while I was in college about once a year to remind myself and others of this … No matter what people try to do to outlaw Black history, it’s too late for me. My mind has been liberated from the shackles of white supremacy.

With all the racist propaganda regarding CRT, β€œwokeism,” and DEI, much of which coming from the White House, let THIS sink in!!

Trump believes if you’re white and used violence in his insurrection, you should get away with it. But if you peacefully protest anti-Black racism, you’re deserving of violence. That’s white supremacy.

It is saddening but not surprising how many conservative evangelical Christians are still in denial or clueless about the threat Trump poses in his second term. The same folks who used to talk about β€œobjective truth” are loyal to a pathological liar. SMH.
