Nothing in this post was attacking white people, I will not stop talking about race, and
ignoring racial issues is not an opportunity to evolve, it's an opportunity to continue supporting and perpetuating age - old systems that are racist and imperialistic.
This selective «colorblindness» is a mighty convenient approach to race in America for white people, for it allows us to paper over America's troubled (and decidedly anti-Christian) history, to discount racism as a thing of the past for which we are no longer responsible, and to
ignore persistent
racial injustices like mass incarceration, police brutality, voting rights
issues, white flight, and economic inequality, all while consistently benefiting from an oppressive system we claim we can not even see.
But
ignoring color will not solve the race
issues in America, nor will it enable the
racial reconciliation that is needed in the American Church.
