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.

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.

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.
