1. Trinitarianism does not come from Greek Philosophy. Trinitarianism is not a “white doctrine”. Trinitarianism was established by ancient Palestinian prophets, reenforced by a Jewish Messiah, & most ardently defended by North Africans- namely Athanasius & later Augustine.
2. Every “Orthodox” Christian who affirms the doctrine of the Trinity/council of Nicea is a disciple/student of both Palestinian & African Theologians. It doesn’t matter if they hate black & brown people or see themselves as superior to them; they owe their “theology” to Africa.
3. Decolonizing your faith does not look like rejecting biblical doctrine like the Trinity, it looks like rediscovering it thru a proper lens. Folks who reject “The Trinity” & embrace a social gospel are rejecting the labors of African Theologians & embracing German ones instead.
4. MLK wrote a dissertation in a liberal seminary where he rejected the Trinity. He attended that seminary cuz conservative ones were too racist to have him. After seminary, he joined a conservative/orthodox black denomination. Holding him to that paper is centering “whiteness”.

7. To be clear, doctrine of The Trinity is the clear Biblical Idea that Yahweh is One God (esssence) & yet three distinct consubstantial persons (persons of same substance/essence). We see this clearly as NT uses language that asserts Jesus, Spirit, & Father are distinct yet One.
8. One more finally, Referring to white people as “white devils” is a clear expression of ethnic supremacy which is rebuked in Scripture both in The epistle to The Galatians (specifically in Chapter 2) as well as in the grand meta narrative of scripture culminating in Rev 7:9.
