White supremacists are tearing down and burning Black Lives Matter signs from churches. These are acts of both racial terror and religious violence. +
Burning Black Lives Matter signs ripped from churches is an explicit threat to the sanctity of the Black church and to Black lives and freedom, even if the church itself is not historically Black.
White Christians: your silence and complicity, for 400 years, in the face of racial terror and religious violence against African Americans is theological malpractice.
Perhaps if you read some Liberation or Womanist theology, or some Critical Race Theory, you’d understand the relationship between silence, racial terror, and white supremacist theology.
But since that isn’t likely, here’s some scripture for you: woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs…inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.
You're a hypocrite and the truth ain't in you if you claim to love a God you haven't seen, while either condoning or being silent about acts of terror and violence against your actual neighbor.
