If white evangelicals want to make meaningful anti-racist statements, they should acknowledge the inherent & structural racism of their fundamentalist faith system & stop being evangelicals.

Anger re: de-segregation was the impetus for white evangelicals mobilizing & becoming the voting block they are today.

& so many of the predatory structures & programs they uphold (like abstinence-only sex ed, which DOES NOT WORK) are purposefully deployed in black communities.

White evangelicals proselytize in black communities, offering resources that have been denied by oppressive systems in exchange for loyalty to an equally oppressive theology.

Evangelism = colonization. It’s a central tenant of evangelicalism, & that is shameful.

So yeah. White evangelicals, I see you posturing.

But allyship = examining & working to dismantle the racist structures you uphold.

The evangelical faith system is very much one of those. Put some meaning behind your words & leave it.
