I get it. You *might* be afraid if you speak out a segment of your church or donor base will label you a SJW, woke, or a liberal. The deeper question is what will be the focus of your ministry: the disinherited who need support or the fear of a label?

If the 97% of us who agree that systemic racism still plagues are wrong, is the actual Christian response mockery and slander? I know that I shouldn't hope for more, but I do.
