Stephen Schwartz As a non Christian, I find it offensive that my skin color somehow means I am to blame for what Christians did. That is not to say that there were not bad Jews as well as good Jews but we too suffered hugely from the invention of racism, a Christian idea that was not our invention.
I will go one step further, I side with the BLM folks in believing that racism is an American problem. We can not solve the problem either by denying the “special” status of being black here or by allowing race to be a criterion for escaping responsibility.
Anyhow, if you need more epithets for “white” I have made a collection...
That is a uniquely Christian concept.
As for the truth that some Christians were against slavery, of course that is true. But that argument applies to “whites” even more.
As a non Christian what I find disgusting is Christianity’s infinite capacity to forgive its own sins. Blaming those sins on “whites” .. many of whom came from cultures that never were slavers is a way of diluting Christian guilt and .. worse yet .. avoiding responsibility.
Jim Page Every self serving world view forgives itself, what else is new. You really hate Christians, don’t you.
Cesar Chavez, Jimmy Carter, FDR, Eleanor Roosevelt, ML King, Pope Francis, St. Francis, Michelangelo, Angela Merkel, Abe Lincoln, Goethe, Moliere…..They too were inspired by this religion. And they were “white.”
