No Russian is the representation of the Gulag, no French person is the embodiment of the French Revolution or colonialism; they each have their national history.”4 Germany, however, is always identified with Nazism.
America and slavery
“The church's primary purpose is not to make America more Christian, but to make American Christians less American and Rwandan Christians less Rwandan. We are no longer Rwandans or Americans, neither Hutu nor Tutsi. If we are in Christ, we have become part of a new creation.”

“How long, O God, will we go on with a mock Christianity that takes the tribalism of our world for granted?
How long, O God, will we be satisfied with the way things are?
How long, O God, will we try to "make some difference in the world" while leaving the basic patterns of the world unaffected?
How long, O God will we take consolation in numbers, buildings, and structures, when millions of your children are dying?
How long, O Sovereign Lord, will we remain blind to the lessons of history?”

“When we can let go of what other people think and own our story, we gain access to our worthiness—the feeling that we are enough just as we are and that we are worthy of love and belonging. When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves from the parts of our lives that don’t fit with who we think we’re supposed to be, we stand outside of our story and hustle for our worthiness by constantly performing, perfecting, pleasing, and proving. Our sense of worthiness—that critically important piece that gives us access to love and belonging—lives inside of our story.”
