I’m so TIRED OF THIS
Stop 🛑 Stop it
The same Bible that slaveholders twisted was the Bible that empowered Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and countless Black preachers to fight for liberation.
Enslaved Africans did not embrace Christianity because of the whip. They embraced Christ because they saw in Him a suffering Savior who identified with their chains.
There is a difference between Christ and corrupt men.
There is a difference between doctrine and distortion.
There is a difference between the Cross and the rope.
If someone commits evil while claiming Christ, they are condemned by the very Book they claim to follow. The hypocrisy of men does not invalidate the person of Jesus.
Blaming Jesus for the sins of racists is like blaming the Constitution for politicians who violate it.
It confuses principle with abuse of principle.
History is complex.
But the objective record shows this: Christianity has been both misused by oppressors and used as the moral foundation to overthrow oppression.
The Cross is not the problem.
Sin is.

To forgive does not mean to deny evil, but to prevent it from generating further evil. It is not to say that nothing has happened, but to do everything possible to ensure that resentment does not determine the future.
Dear young people, Jesus is our hope. Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less. You will then see the light of the Gospel growing every day, in you and around you.
"I'm not a God-given talent. I ain't the best shooter. I'm not the best ball handler. Not the most athletic. Not the fastest. But I battle. I fight. I'm tough as shit and I don't back down. There's my talent for you. I ain't scared of nobody." - Jimmy Butler
