Christianity & the Bible have been used to perpetuate and justify slavery, systemic/institutional racism, Raw (New) Deal, Jim Crow, segregation, mob action against communities of color, poverty, wealth inequality, and more. The system is NOT and never was broken, it was built this way. We need to accept this fact of life. White American Christians tend to cling to their guns and bibles; especially, in times of trouble and uncertainty.

The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., once said "it is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.

The religious right was formed to protect segregation. White nationalists will tell you that their organizations are Christian based. The BPP and BLM are labeled hate groups and are being attacked from every direction. However, the klan is still in existence and allowed to continue with their campaign of terror. White Christians are behaving more white than Christian. How does that work?
