"these findings may suggest that the White Might group views racial inequality as appropriate...they agree minorities have been oppressed because they should be oppressed."

geez, and I wonder how we got here politically (¬_¬)
how so many people excuse actually atrocities.

“How can one group of Christians continually hurt and betray their fellow Christians from different racial backgrounds?” Because they warship different versions of “Christianity” one is steeped in white supremacy

This is not real Christianity…(but) a Religion of Whiteness

wrong book

oh. that was a very quick escalation.

pg. 32 Martin Luther King Jr. pg. 34 Frederick Douglass
Can white supremacy and historical Christianity coexist without one fundamentally distorting the other?
no. because historical Christianity (U.S. but also further back) has been steeped in racism/white supremacy- they are "superior"- "others" are not the same level as human as them. So "they" think they have the right to "play god" on the deemed "lesser beings"

Betrayal trauma is (your trusted loved ones)- your brothers and sisters turning on you, hurting you, repeatedly- telling you it's your fault, and that (you're) too sensitive. Gaslighting and emotional manipulation. Their (whites) truth is not your truth- and you're in the wrong for having a different experience- since "their" bible speaks "their" truth (preaching that weaponizes the bible to speak falsehoods).

White Christians don't want racial justice or unity, they don't want reconciliation. They want power. They don't want to put in the work. They don't want to come out of their ignorance- acknowledging their wrongs or purposeful "neutrality" (ignoring history and their personal actions).

the anti-immigration position of white Christians has been fermenting. Trump is the personification of it. Trump in power- in control of the U.S. is what's so dangerous about it- his openness of it- it's scary.

And as a person- I just don't understand how you cannot see the racism of it all- it's not even underlying microaggressions- this is racism. point blank. why do people find this okay? on any level?
