To Dismantle White Supremacy, Examine Christian Nationalism

In a chaotic and often incoherent presidential debate this week, one moment stood out.

When asked by moderator Chris Wallace if he would condemn white supremacists and militia groups, President Donald Trump hemmed and hawed and ultimately said, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.”

The president distanced himself from his own statement the following day, claiming not to know who the Proud Boys were.

But the Proud Boys, a far-right group that has been labeled as a hate group for its misogynistic, white supremacist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim views, seized upon this directive immediately. They took the presidentâ€s words not as an order to defer to police, but rather as a command to be at the ready.

Furthermore, the presidentâ€s statement follows his pattern of equivocating on white supremacy and the violence inspired by it.

After deadly confrontations in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, when white nationalist groups marched through the streets brandishing swastikas and chanting “Jews will not replace us,” the president pivoted attention, asserting there were “very fine people on both sides.”

The presidentâ€s failure to forcefully condemn violent white supremacists when pressed should be deeply troubling to all Americans, including people of faith.

While we as a country are reckoning with systemic racism, Christians are facing our own complicity in racial injustice – from slavery to segregation to police brutality and mass incarceration.

Though the presidentâ€s message is muddled at best, we must be clear: There is no room in our country for hate or violence inspired by racism and white supremacy.

But denouncing violent white nationalism is not enough. We must explore its root causes, including Christian nationalism.

Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry, authors of the recent book, Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States, define Christian nationalism as “a cultural framework that idealizes and advocates a fusion of Christianity with American civic life.”

Christians from across the theological and ideological spectrum are coming together to raise awareness about Christian nationalism.

7 things white Christians can do to address white supremacy at church

(RNS) — Since my book “White Too Long” came out in the summer of 2020, amid nationwide Black Lives Matter protests following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, Iâ€ve had the privilege of speaking with dozens of predominately white congregations and denominational institutions about the legacy of white supremacy in American Christianity.


One of the most common questions I get — once people have moved past denial — is, “What do we do now?”

Often this question is understandably accompanied by a great amount of anguish, stress and a sense of being overwhelmed — feelings I myself encountered while researching and writing the book.

The recognition of the longevity and enormity of the problem in white Christianity can often lead to a kind of paralysis that inhibits meaningful action.

In “White Too Long,” I shared a powerful exchange that occurred in a meeting between the two First Baptist Churches in Macon, Georgia — one predominately white and one predominately Black — who had begun a journey together to talk openly about racism for the first time in their shared histories:

If we get past denial, if we get past the magical thinking that time will settle our moral obligations for us, the next challenge for white Christians today is to deal with the paralyzing notion that the weight of this history is so enormous that meaningful action is impossible.

At one early meeting between the white and black members of the two First Baptist Churches in Macon, a white member confessed that she was simply overwhelmed and didnâ€t know what to do. After a painful pause, an African American woman responded calmly, “Of course you are.” This reply was a palpable moment of compassion and accountability. While giving the white woman permission to feel overwhelmed, the African American womanâ€s response also gently affirmed that this discomfort was not an excuse for inaction.

All your LAZY attempts to GOOGLE DOGSHIT means zero as the above is nothing BUT OPINION.  You cannot prove ANYTHING but squirm and jump like a circus monkey trying to make a point posters just roll their eyes at.   I have NEVER in my life been in a church which discussed or even HINTED at whites being superior creatures over other races.  Never one time.

You know who is OBSESSED with race, gender, sexual orientation, white supremacy?????????  It's LIBERALS!  FOOLS who make up crap.  Join the crowd of foolish liberals trying to make some idiotic point that just make you look stupid.

And NO I'm not engaging in your stupidity to answer dumbazz questions next.   Whites who are Christians are no more of a white supremacist or believe in white supremacy than any other segment of US society. That is my opinion which carries just as much weight as those links you googled as LAZY troll.  There is no way of proving this in the least.

Sentencing is today. Victims families gave some heart rending speeches…..the victim says he wishes he hadnâ€t done it, he was consumed with hate. Now the judge(white femalr) is on a several minute diatribe about how racist America has always been.

No longer GroupThink 'woke'.  but it was fun while it lasted.

Saw that. He was a bit like the cartoon character that runs in place before he gets momentum going. That gave time for the sheriffs to grab him before he got anywhere close.
