You Fix This Mess: Post-Election, Evangelicals of Color Disappointed in White Evangelicals

By Elizabeth Eisenstadt Evans

…some of their values and theological understanding. 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…

Why I’m Not Quite Sold on ‘Black Santa’

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…se, only later to be met with scorn and backlash on social media. Although African Americans have long depicted Santa Claus as Black, the depiction of Santa as Black seemed, to many, to signal the continued excesses of political correctness and the decline of white normativity in American cultural symbolism. Along with the fictional “War on Christmas,” there appears to be a campaign to ‘Make Santa White Again’ as in the recent case of an African-A…

In a New Manifesto Framing ‘Wokeness’ as Religion John McWhorter Sounds Like Moses Condemning Israel for Worshipping Golden Calf of Black Power

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…’s Sowell’s “Anointed” or McWhorter’s “Elect,” the conclusion is the same: African Americans as a group are either unwitting or conscious dupes for liberal white social policy to their own detriment. Borrowing from feminist chronology, McWhorter calls wokeness “third-wave antiracism,” with the abolitionist movement and Reconstruction comprising the first-wave of anti-racism and the civil rights movement signaling the second. For McWhorter, however…

Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

By Andrew Aghapour

…ile, been relegated to living in ghettos. As a result, Rothstein told me, “African American family incomes are about 60% of white family incomes, but African American wealth is about 5% of white family wealth. And that difference is heavily attributable to federal race-based housing policy.” It might be psychologically satisfying to blame unemployment on individual laziness, or segregation on prejudiced white homeowners, but this would miss the fo…

How the Abortion Debate Turned the Christian Right On To Liberal Arguments… and Birthed the Religious Freedom Industry

By Eric C. Miller

…m the right concerns same-sex marriage. How did they settle on a religious freedom frame? Even prior to Obergefell v. Hodges, religious freedom arguments were being advanced by conservative Christians who disapproved of same-sex marriage. For example, several state-level Religious Freedom Restoration Acts (RFRA) were put into motion in 2014 and early 2015 in part to try and protect religious objectors. Immediately after the Obergefell decision, th…

Obama at Romero’s Tomb: The Politics of Liberation

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…cal act. I see Obama’s visit as symbolic of a shift in US attitudes toward Central America. Gone I hope is the era of intervention and manipulation. The Central America of today is different from the one that saw Romero’s blood shed while saying mass. Some would argue that the crisis of gangs and drugs that is engulfing this region is leading to a crisis that will eclipse the civil wars of the 1980s and 1990s. And yet in spite of the growing viole…

The Brutality of the American Eden

By Paul Harvey

…this series—though it goes far beyond that. In this dialectic of religious freedom and unfreedom, embattled ethno-religious communities actually deployed the American tradition of religious liberty (as well as their own spiritual practices and sacred writings) to compel redefinitions of freedom, autonomy, and the rights of citizenship. The discourse of American freedom, then, could lead to very different ends than envisioned by the Anglo–Protestan…

Jewish Past/Israeli Future: A Review of The Invention of the Jewish People

By Shalom Goldman

…fact anyone born to a Jewish mother may have the best of both worlds—being free to live in London or New York, confident that the State of Israel is theirs, even if they do not wish to live under its sovereignty. Yet anyone who did not emerge from Jewish loins and who lives in Jaffa or Nazareth will feel that the state in which they were born will never be theirs. To Read What Has Really Been Written In what I think was a tactical error, rather th…
