@burnsclan_ Hey brother, love the recent "After Whiteness" podcast. I agree we white people will continue at a slow walk if we only focus on "reconciliation" without addressing our whiteness. Please pass this to anyone who needs it. Thanks for all you do. https://t.co/xTihvM8CTV
@KirkHerbstreit Love watching you each year. I agree with you "we need to do better." Where do we start? As a white Christian, here is where I'm encouraging white Christians to start, myself included. Please utilize and share if helpful. https://t.co/xTihvLR22n
White folks (and some Blacks), watch this video and then DON’T EVER AGAIN justify the police killing of an unarmed Black person by saying “if he had only complied with the cop he wouldn’t have gotten shot.”
@KyleKorver thanks for your tribune article and the podcast with @alexgeejr. Read long ago and just listened to the pod. Will be using it to help white would-be allies.
Part 8: Apathy cannot be changed by will power, or telling ourselves to “stop being apathetic and start giving a _____.” No, apathy can only be overcome by feeling the depths of our loneliness and then reaching out for relationship.

Part 7: If in our discipleship we are telling people that their primary identity is in Christ, apart from their ethnicity, then we are making a separation that the Bible does not make. Our identity in Christ is always as an ethnic-specific Christian.

Part 6: "What I mean when I say God did not create white people is that God did not create the racial construct and identity we call 'white.' We did."

Part 5: As it relates [to racism having a hold on me]...I can be positionally free in Christ (Galatians 5:1), and yet be experientially in bondage in any area of my life where I am believing and partnering with a lie (Romans 7:23).

Part 4: From Genesis 1 we know that "Only humanity bears the image of God. It is essential to note here that God calls man and woman to have dominion over everything in creation, except one another. A human is to never have dominion over another human."

Part 3: As white people, we need to count the cost of becoming an ally, because the road will take a lifetime. We will need racial stamina...It will cost us much of what we believed to be true about ourselves, our nation, and even God.

Part 2: "...when it comes to talking about racism and any potential complicity we have with it, white Christians, myself included, are some of the most defensive and self-righteous humans on the planet. We ought to be very curious as to why this is…

Part 1: "To decry racism as a white person, and not also embrace the long and painful journey of unlearning and undoing all that racism has provided to us and stolen from us, is to not decry racism." https://t.co/o1TUkvwe6J
