Breaking Up With White Jesus
Andre Henry
Is Christianity just for White People?
Andre Henry attempted to persude Evangelical preachers the need to address racial address < They felt indifferent
Does God only care about white people?
Therefore God is white since white colonizers depicted Jesus as a white person
Thus God is a sponsor of only the interest of white people and disregard/alienates black people
The Personal and The Political are inseparable
Politcal structure of a government shape our indivual personal lives
In interracial relationships, it's not usual for Black women to be favor because of eurocentric beauty standards
This personal experience of being rejected as a black women contributes to a systemic racism where white women are favor over black women in romantic relationship or careers
The Roman Empire and the American government are similar
America as the land of the free, brave and democracy
When in reality it's deeply anti democratic in its system and anti-black
Illusion of the Pax Romana
When in reality People were oppressed by the Roman military forces but still worshipped Cesar
Racism is apart of the nervous system of America
After the jim crow laws and slavery, systemic racism did not magically disappea
James Baldwin
Christianity is a colonizer religion
Mohammed and Malcolm doesn't agree and instead they thing that MLK promotes an ageda of discrimination
Martin Luther K Junior was a deeply venerated man in the community for his bold stance in civil rights and racial justice. Apart of a Christian community as a Christian Baptist
Anthropomorphic projection of God does not liberate human but it alienates humanity. Especially when you project God as a white man it alienates black people
You are setting "whiteness" as the norm, standard and ideal
Black people are left helpless other than worship this glorified white figure
Pretty much forced to follow Christianity in order to fit in America
A Queer preacher in New York
Doesn't attempt to hate/bash on white people
Resorted to Chrisitanity as his refuge since New York is a hot bed of anti-black hate
Realized that Christianity in of itself alienates black people
"You very soon, without knowing it, give up all hope of communion"
Letter from a region in my mind
Differentiate MLK from Malcolm
essay about how he was a teen pastor to how he left the church < Christianity simply suppressed his identity and his full experience of being human
Also realized how Christianity was a oppressed the black community
