…ricans to reckon with the villain within. Whether it’s the Trail of Tears, American slavery, Japanese internment, or the half-century of race riots, these internal tragedies must be reconciled with a rhetoric of American innocence.

Tea Partiers Say Slavery Not Race-Related

…in a way that preserves the “us” and “them” division among black and white Americans—who just want the issue of slavery and racism to just go away. These points are usually presented with a specific subtext: some slave owners were also black (so why are you blaming us?); not all slaves were black (and white people experience just as much racism today); black Africans played a huge role in the slave trade (“they” did it to “us” too); very few South…

Religion and Resistance at the New National Museum of African American History and Culture

…t, there’s a series of first edition books. You have The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin, you have James Cone‘s work and Albert Cleage‘s story. You see how people saw 1968 as this real shift in black religion. It’s a reminder that even in the Black Power movement, religious faith was deeply embedded.

Not All Christians are Terrorists

…of violent carnage. All religions have vectors of religious thinking that justify extreme violence against people defined as threatening, just as they all have vectors stressing peaceful reconciliation and harmony with adversaries.

God, Guns, and the Confederate Flag

…cated such a position to me in a 2010 interview. After Charleston, Pratt blamed Emanuel AME Church’s pastor, the murdered Clementa Pinckney, for the massacre there, saying he should have, as state senator, voted for a measure that would have permitted concealed carry in churches. (White evangelicals who argue against this thinking on guns are waging an admittedly lonely battle.) Similarly, Moore sees himself defending his state from an illegitimat…

The Role of Spirit in the #BlackLivesMatter Movement: A Conversation with Activist and Artist Patrisse Cullors

…, is “a political choice to try to build a new way of fighting.” “It’s not just about changing policies. It’s not just about changing lives. It’s about changing our culture and changing how we fight,” Cullors said. “We can change policies all day but if the fight to get there was full of trauma, was replicating oppressive dynamics, abusive dynamics, then what is the point?” Organizations such as DPN and Generative Somatics have held events focused…

My story is about being raised in black church traditions and answering a call to ordained ministry.

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

…This is present in the ‘Black Christology’ of academic theologians such as James Cone, Albert Cleage, Jr., and within popular readings of the Bible by African Americans who identify with Jesus as a co-sufferer. Social media currently abounds with tweets, memes, and posts portraying Jesus as an unarmed man of color who was killed by Roman authorities or “law enforcement” by being “lynched” on a cross.
