Monumental Crisis (2017)
Have you ever wondered if your words or actions are racist? Are you sure they aren’t? Is claiming “I’m not racist!” enough? Can a person protect and promote systemic racism without even realizing it? Is ignorance a good excuse?Recently, one of my friends inquired as to why I am suddenly so passionate about racism in America—she didn’t say “suddenly,” but it does feel that way. I’ve gone my entire adult life assuming I was an ally, but I’m not sure that’s true. The more I learn, the more I wonder if I’ve actually enabled and supported systems designed to hold back and oppress people of color. I officially stepped into the conversation about white privilege in 2016 when I joined the Be the Bridge to Racial Reconciliation Facebook group. When a white person joins the group, s/he agrees to remain silent and listen for three months. Not only are you prohibited from posting in the group, you’re also prohibited from commenting on other folks’ posts. Violation of this rule gets you banned from the group. It’s a good and important rule.

The purpose of this article is to help conservative white evangelicals think through a biblical response to the nationwide growing demand to remove and/or relocate Confederate monuments.

Image reads: Posted @withregram • @seerutkchawla This applies to both ‘sides’ who each have their own versions of bullying, harassment and inability to hear any other perspectives. 📚 In her book "Leading for Justice: Supervision, HR, and Culture" @RitaSever encourages readers to take a hard look at their own biases and blind spots and to actively work towards becoming a more equitable and just leader. ⁣ Nobody should be a human piñata. Ever. Ever. Ever. “Teaching Black History connects the dots.” Posted @withregram • @loveeletters your direction is more important than your speed 🌿✨ #LifeGoals Posted @withregram • @my_jigsawlife I’m glad to see this and obligated to share. Trying to silence truth tellers is white supremacy. And white supremacy is evil.
