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

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“They knew our names and they knew our parents. But they did not know us, because not knowing was essential to their power. To sell a child right from under his mother, you must know that mother only in the thinnest way possible. To strip a man down, condemn him to be beaten, flayed alive, then anointed with salt water, you cannot feel him the way you feel your own. You cannot see yourself in him, lest your hand be stayed, and your hand must never be stayed, because the moment it is, the Tasked will see that you see them, and thus see yourself. In that moment of profound understanding, you are all done, because you cannot rule as is needed.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Water Dancer

Jim Wallis
“As Nicholas Kristof wrote, “The greatest problem is not with flat-out white racists, but rather with the far larger number of Americans who believe intellectually in racial equality but are quietly oblivious to injustice around them. Too many whites unquestioningly accept a system that disproportionately punishes blacks. . . . We are not racists, but we accept a system that acts in racist ways.”
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
“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
