I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now
Today we celebrate the birth of Christ—but if we’re going to celebrate Him, we need to be honest about who He actually was.
Jesus was not born in December, but He was born, so we celebrate. He was not a white man, He was brown-skinned and, by today’s standards, would be considered Black.
He was born in what was then Northeast Africa. He was African. He was a refugee fleeing state violence. He was a revolutionary who challenged empire, exposed hypocrisy, and stood with the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized.
Jesus does not belong to white evangelical theology, Christian nationalism, or white supremacy. He was not a mascot for power, He was a threat to it.
So as we celebrate Christmas, let’s stop remaking Jesus in the image of whiteness and empire, and start following the Jesus who walked with the least of these and confronted injustice wherever it showed up.
That Jesus is still good news. That Jesus is still dangerous to systems of oppression. And that Jesus is still worth celebrating.
Merry Christmas.
“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s”
- Charlie Kirk
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968 — and after nearly two decades of advocacy, his birthday became a national holiday in 1986. White people in Congress, and in legislatures across the nation, for eminently opposed honoring and recognizing the legacy of a black man who fought against injustice.
Charlie Kirk was killed just nine days ago — and already Congress has declared his birthday a day of remembrance.
One man fought for justice and peace. The other divided a nation. Which legacy does this nation choose to uplift?
We talk a/t toxic breakups but it be those quiet endings, the ones that don’t make a lot of fuss that be the most painful
Bc you realize they never really cared. Walking away from you was as easy as breathing
You wanted to matter but that ending is a reminder that you never did
