Conservative Black Preacher Leads Crusade Against Hate Crimes Legislation

By Bill Berkowitz

…he religious right that is often white-led and I found that there are many African Americans who are Bible based, Bible-believing who have as much in common with the white church as they do with their black neighbors.

By Kathleen Sands

…om I count myself) often assume that by virtue of their racial experience, African Americans should feel bound to support full civil equality for gays and lesbians.

…ion to become ordained to Sojourner Truth’s resistance to slavery. What an African-American woman says about ordination and slavery is none of my business. And I have no problem with white women’s ordination activists stating, as some do in Pink Smoke, that their courage to stand up to the Vatican and the bishops is inspired, in part at least, by the example of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. But putting one African American woman…

It’s a strain for many African-American evangelicals…what do African Americans gain in associating with white evangelicalism as it has been hijacked by the right?” “In other words,” says McCray “those who identify as black or African-American evangelicals must bend over backwards to explain who they are.” Despite their dismay over the prospect of a Trump presidency, those I spoke to appear to be…

…anted to include a chapter on literature, music, and visual art created by African-American women. Their creative engagement with biblical texts is a part of the history of African-American biblical interpretation, but given my space limitations, there was just no way to include this chapter. I had to leave it out. What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic? Due to the popularity of the term “womanist” and how it paralleled with…

A Jewish Perspective on Reparations

…old that American Jews have a unique obligation to support reparations for African Americans. Not because we are uniquely guilty for America’s crimes against black people; and certainly not because, as some anti-semitic conspiracies would assert, we have unique control over this country’s finances and resources.
