Believing that white theology is normative and other theologies are "contextual" continues to perpetuate the racist lie that white Christianity is the center of the faith and is the standard of other's religious legitimacy. Decolonizing theology is also decolonizing epistemology.

Police are the first contact most immigrants have with the deportation system. But the immigrant rights movement has often left the need to confront policing and incarceration only to Black people.

We must #ProtectBlackMigrants as part of ending state sanctioned violence.
