Jim Wallis
“For people of faith and conscience, these issues about implicit racial bias and the realities of white privilege in our society are not just political matters; they are moral and religious questions.”
Jim Wallis, America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America

Jim Wallis
“Prejudice may indeed be a universal human sin that all races can exhibit, but racism is more than an inevitable consequence of human nature or social accident. Rather, racism is a system of oppression for social and economic purposes. As many analysts have suggested, racism is prejudice plus power.”
Jim Wallis, America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America

Jim Wallis
“The story about race that was embedded into America at the founding of our nation was a lie; it is time to change that story and discover a new one.”
Jim Wallis, America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America

Jim Wallis
“The sociology of many white communities shapes the theology of their churches, making them “conformed to the world” and disobedient to the gospel.”
Jim Wallis, America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America

Jim Wallis
“Racism is rooted in sin—or evil, as nonreligious people might prefer—which goes deeper than politics, pointing fingers, partisan maneuvers, blaming, or name calling. We can get to a better place only if we go to that morally deeper place. There will be no superficial or merely political overcoming of our racial sins—that will take a spiritual and moral transformation as well. Sin must be named, exposed, and understood before it can be repented of.”
Jim Wallis, America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America
