I wonder if all the Christian leaders who stay silent on social media about all the issues around racism do so out of a fear they’ll be lumped into the SJ club, or they fear they’ll always have to say something at every incident. (1)

I can appreciate having a focused platform, posting only things related to that specific platform.

But....I don’t think it’s that. (2)

Why is the sin of racism so hard for so many to speak against?

It’s almost as if it’s become an American xian tradition to stay silent on racism, but vocal on most everything else.

Why the fear? (3)

In all honesty, as I work towards a PhD in hopes of being a faculty at a seminary, I wonder how speaking against racism will be seen. There’s always a twinge of fear. (4)

Are they worried we’re somehow getting this analysis wrong? Don’t want to speak up too soon?

Obviously, I think we’ve crossed that line many murders ago. (5)

It’s hard to take any Christian leader seriously if they don’t regularly speak against racism. It’s the sin of our time...& our fathers time... & their fathers time... & our forefathers time here in America.

At this point, and all the points before, there’s really no excuse. (6)

And with all sin, there’s no such thing as one and done, especially when the sin is deeply baked into the fabric of society.

Speak against it. Keep speaking against it. Be a broken record in a broken society. (7)
