"Larry" couldn't be me- losing absolutely everything(job, education, friends, etc.) to the religion of whiteness and still having his faith intact- insane. like, actually- how can you believe in God, when time and time again life has shown you nothing but hurt for supporting the real faith?

I'm not dogin' on what others believe, but it has been one of the many reasons I've always struggled with "Christianity"

"If you are perceived as threatening it (whiteness), you will suffer consequences. It is hard not to see this as a demonic force."

Even though I am not particularly religious (for many reasons including trauma)- I cannot reiterate THIS point enough. What they are preaching isn't the same message as the bible- it is wrong, it is finding community in the persecution of others- it is distinctly un-Christian.

“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).
