Racism

  • Deep rooted problems of our nation

    White supremacy. Nationalism. “Replacement theory.” These cannot be ignored. They must be faced and dealt with head on. I barely knew this was an actual theory. The theory was conceived in the early 2010s by Renaud Camus, a French author who has written about fears of a white genocide, arguing that immigrants who give birth… Read more

  • “True America”

    We have to get over ourselves. This sin is deep and we lack repentance. God help us! This chart shows the overwhelming blindness to what “America” is among whites. Read more

    The tragedy of Buffalo, NY this weekend where a young man believed the propaganda of white nationalists, too matters “into his own hands,” and walked into a store with the intention of killing black people. It is crushing. LORD! How long? Read more

Any conception of God, (James) Baldwin… Read more

    We don’t mind “white rage.” It gets us, as whites, back in control. We can then call it “proper political discourse” or something nice like that. Black rage? We, as whites, consider that dangerous. Read more

  • What radicalized you?

    This was the question pushed at Danté Stewart when he began to speak out in white spaces on the pain of the black community. Read more
