1/ I recently spoke on the intersections of race/gender oppression in US. The very first RACE Law in the nation’s foundational history was passed in VA 1662. It was also the very first GENDER-based law and the first CITIZENSHIP law passed on this soil.
2/ That 1662 law created race-based slavery, by locating citizenship in the womb of the mother. Citizens could not be enslaved. So, if your mother was enslaved, she wasn’t a citizen and you were not a citizen. So, you could be enslaved. Plus, they outlawed interracial marriage.
3/ The 1662 law was in full force for 200+ years until passage of 13th and 14th Amendments, which ended race-based citizenship and outlawed slavery. Interracial marriage wasn’t legalized until the Loving v. Virginia (1967) Supreme Court ruling 305 years after VA’s 1662 race law.

Dear .@louiegiglio, with this thread I follow the example of Paul, who publicly rebuked Peter in book of Galatians when Peter tried to placate the faction called judaizers by practicing segregation. Your championing of the term #whiteblessing in reference to #slavery is SIN. 1/
Your sin against Black people, especially women, was public. Therefore, your rebuke must also be public. For, you are an international leader. People of European descent and BIPOC in your network will follow your lead into sin, if you are not corrected publicly. 2/ #whiteblessing
I intend to do 3 things in this thread:
1) correct your thinking on white privilege and white “blessing,”
2) suggest a 3rd term that is the essence of this entire set-up: #WhitePatriarchy,
3) reflect for a moment on the impact of your sin. 3/ #whiteblessing

Glad to be part of this convo! Need to define terms to begin:
Here are a few helpful ways I think of #racism:
Racism = Prejudice + Power to impact the lives and futures of the “other”. #LiberatingEvangelicalism 1/
Racism = the implementation of structural, systemic, legal and/or political hierarchy of human belonging based on arbitrary physical features. #LiberatingEvangelicalism 2/
Racism = the #racialization of society’s systems and structures by #intent OR by #impact. 3/#LiberatingEvangelicalism
