    "Between 1880 to 1940, white Christians lynched nearly five thousand black men & women in a manner with obvious echoes of the Roman crucifixion of Jesus. Yet these 'Christians' did not see the irony or contradiction in their actions.”- James H. Cone, The Cross & The Lynching Tree

        Very powerful. As I celebrate Good Friday today, I'll remember that crucifixion persists

        I once had a boss from Turkey. He would come into my office and ask me about character traits of American behavior. About 90% of the time when he would ask me why we did things, the answer was "Because Jesus." And it was true. Blue laws, forbidden behavior, you name it.

        This book inspired me to make connections between current racial abuse and racial abuse of the past. We don’t need the lynching tree or the cross. We have police shooting #POC at will but it’s a lynching no less. #StephonClark

        Can't call them Christians if they are lynching people.

        That's one of the great shames of American history. Christians are called to reconcilation and radical love and nothing less that that. For a guidebook to loving others, search for, ONE by Henry Hon.
