The White Church Has Been a Steady Oppressor

[Guno צְבִי]

The introduction of ”Christianity” into what we now call ‘North America’ was genocidal by nature. The religion was offered to indigenous tribes and African slaves as the only alternative to being killed, and they were often enslaved and killed anyways.

People were bought and sold and raped and abused. Land was stolen. Countless lives were ruthlessly destroyed by people who claimed to follow the ‘Prince of Peace.’ This was how Westernized Christendom was built: violently and as a weapon to help establish white-dominated social structures of colonial rule.

As a result of which, after all, there are scarcely any Christians in the USA. Be fair!

It is the vehicle

From colonial rule to present day, racism has remained a constant, and so too has the influence and presence of the American white church. Complicit in slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the Japanese Internment, xenophobia, and bigotry, the white church has been a steady oppressor and rarely an ally for people of color.

The scripture about masters and slaves is there for a reason.

Christianity has destroyed indigenous populations across the globe. In america it was religious brutality. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Native_Americans_and_Christianity
