I was a pastor for nearly 15 years.
When the #BlackLivesMatter
movement began, and I started writing full time about police brutality & racial violence, Rachel Held Evans was one of the only prominent white Christians that shared my work publicly.
Before the #BlackLivesMatter Movement, I had dozens of well known white Christian friends that I had made across the years. Like Rachel Held Evans, I sometimes spoke at their conferences & events.
After the #BlackLivesMatter Movement, they all bailed. Really, except her.

Shaun...tthat doesn't surprise me. They bailed on me for the same reason, and I'm white! I grew up in the white evangelical church, & in the 20 years I spent there, I never once heard a single message on racism. Not ONE.
To a very large degree, at least as it's practiced in the US, the christian faith is largely a power and control structure, and you exposed that by espousing the actual values Christians are supposedly meant to have. Trumplandia is not amused.
Quality over quantity
'Christian'
What a loss. So sad to hear this
If they want you quiet..they will find a way to silence you? 37 and dead...she shook one too many branches and something fell out that shouldn't have!?
White Christians love docile Black folks that are non-threatening. It was more about how they perceive you then how you saw them.
Because they, like many others, realize you are misguided and walking down an unrighteous path. I will say a prayer for you Shaun.
Sorry for your loss brother. She was an inspiration to many and spoke truth to power often.
Glad someone is sticking with you. I live in Missoura we have Ferguson protestors dying left and right we haven't seen YOU back here.
