This is an overgeneralization, and harmful to understanding and engaging with a very large population of people, and you know that :/https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/863456200041672705 …

That's a shame. I'm not sure how much time you've spent in Southern evangelical communities but it hasn't been enough, I see.
Years. You are blind. And don't understand white supremacy and how religion has always propped it up.

You may have experiences, but many people will only ever interact with evangelicals through your words, & the generalizing helps nobody.
-
The phrasing makes it seems like evangelicals actively promote white supremacy among scripture and services, which isn't true by and large.
-
Implying all evangelicals crave "white power" doesn't address actual spiritual/cultural/political differences across denominations.

As a woman raised in semirural GA and currently living here, it is promoted by the evangelical church. Religion is social base of GA voters.

There is a resolution, actually! I wasn't as familiar with the wording but found a link (http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/899 )

That's good. Has it translated into action?

I haven't been a regular member in several years, but as more time passed there's been a more diverse membership.

It's one thing to apologize and open your doors, another to say we did this to you and we need to be an active part in the undoing.

I can say that in my community, they tended to avoid engaging with *external* political/social issues, if that makes sense.
-
Makes sense and is part of the problem. Look, if you cheated on your wife, apologized, accepted responsibility, you would have to work ...
-
Daily to prove you're trustworthy, to right that wrong. You can't say I'm here! I'm not cheating! I apologized! Time to move on.

It's literally why there's a southern Baptist vs whatever they call the other Baptists. These splits were over race.

Look buddy, you can't just call everything you don't like "white supremacy." Doesn't work like that. Smh
