That anyone can claim with a straight face that they don’t see the ways racism is a manifestation of centuries-old anti-Black hatred is an insult to my intelligence, the collective wisdom of every Black person who has set foot on American soil, and the whole of humanity. That so many white people need to have evils of America’s ongoing and well-documented history of enslaving, Jim Crow-ing, segregating, despising, terrorizing, lynching, and pipeline-to-prisoning of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color explained to them is morally bankrupt. And those who sit idly by and don’t speak out against injustice while laying claim to the name of Christ proves they know not the risen Lord or his most fundamental teachings.
