…nly. The sort of disruption that is beneficial. King talked about their protests being an inconvenience to life for people in the South, but that it was only a physical manifestation of the sort of social and economic inconvenience black people felt on the daily. I wanted to be a part of physically showing that we oppose his viewpoints, that there are people who want to show him to his face we think you are wrong, and that the ideas you espouse ne…

Delillo and Doctor Strange: Orientalist Fantasy is Alive and Well

…re for her illness. Jeffrey, for his part, wanders through the Convergence compound, and through the rest of his life, speculating vaguely about existence, futurity, his daddy issues, and his own vacuousness, “We retreat into neutral space,” he muses, the bland self-reference surely intentional. He describes his own room in the Convergence compound as being “generic to the point of being a thing with walls. The ceiling was low, the bed was bedlike…

Repent, Hillary: Trump’s Evangelical Backers Play the Sin Card

…he lied. Moses led his people out of bondage, but he disobeyed God. David committed adultery and then he committed murder. The Apostles turned their back on the Lord Jesus Christ in his greatest hour of need, they turned their backs and they ran. Peter denied him three times. All of this to say, there is none of us is perfect [sic]. Graham, here, disarms one of the most common charges made against Trump, both from without and from within evangeli…

White Conservative Christian America Not Going Down Without a Fight

…along with its population, America’s religious and cultural landscape is being fundamentally altered. By this reasoning, the drama of the current GOP platform debate is part of the waning cry of a white evangelical Protestant America (not just the mainline, long since noted to have been in decline, but evangelicals as well) whose demographic trajectory inexorably points towards a diminished cultural significance. Predictions invoking “deaths” and…

A History of Prophetic Black Preaching That Doesn’t Start or End With Dr. King

…ourney—one that requires getting on the road with the support of God and a committed community actively practicing hope. Is there a book out there you wish you had written? Which one? Why? I find writing to be a deeply spiritual experience, and I believe I write and should write books that I alone can and am supposed to write. The one book that gave me inspiration along the way was Pulitzer-prize winning author Isabel Wilkerson’s The Warmth of Oth…

Revisiting Philip Roth’s 2004 Novel that Predicted the Trump Election

…dually amps up anti-Semitic policies until Jews, isolated from their local communities, become the targets of American pogroms. It would be a mistake to read the book as a straightforward alternate history. The mild surrealistic thrills of the genre are there, but they’re not central to the novel.

Should Evangelical Trump Critics Leave The Movement? Who Cares?

…o: The impetus for Moore’s departure was, in part, the manner in which his comrades had supported Trump for president: “I have watched as some [evangelicals] who gave stem-winding speeches about ‘character’ in office during the Clinton administration now minimize the spewing of profanities in campaign speeches, race-baiting and courting white supremacists, boasting of adulterous affairs, debauching public morality and justice through the casino an…

Trickle-Down Metaphysics and the Dawn of a Trumpian New Age

…start with our world and our communities first.’ “New Thought has always accommodated both tendencies, and it has always accommodated within it both deeply conservative and radically progressive tendencies,” he said. It’s easy to dismiss the New Age scene as a fringe—or, worse, frivolous—phenomenon. But it is part of a loose set of spiritual ideas that infuse all kinds of American conversations about right and wrong, self and other, and the nature…
