Want Racial Justice? First, Divorce James Cone & Marx Ep. 34

Want racial justice in the church in America? Many high-profile black evangelicals have joined a rising collective voice pouring condemnation upon all white evangelicals for racism. The election of Donald Trump as POTUS seems to have leveled a heavy blow to racial unity in the American church, and the bleeding seems to be gaining volume. Dr. Anthony Bradley, Thabiti Anyabwile, Jemar Tisby, Tyler Burns, Christena Cleveland are a few of the black Christian leaders who regularly denounce white racism, not on an individual level as something each of us may be guilty of; no, to these folks, your light skin means you are a participant in the oppression of people of color in America... ...unless I'm totally misunderstanding, which is possible. On this episode, I read out several of these people's statements on white racism in evangelicalism. You listen, you tell me. Am I right that this is a Marxist play going on in our midst? If white racism is endemic, then black Marxism is too. How about we drop both of the blanket labels and talk as individuals? The following tweets are a small sample of what I see all day every day: white Christians are a part of the problem, and must be confronted using Marxist categories of class strife. https://twitter.com/CSCleve/status/902648115618091010 https://twitter.com/Burns23/status/897499105332666369 If you appreciate what we do here at the Citizen, give a bit of financial support to let us know.
