This country has always been a struggle between two sides: the loftiness of our ideals of freedom and equality, and the ugliness of racism that has been exploited for profit, control, and the maintenance of a status quo. Pick the side you’re on.
For instance, how can one believe in “all men are created equal” and also support an LE culture that allows black ppl to be 250% more likely to be killed by police than whites?
How, if you believe in inalienable right to pursue happiness, can you be okay with border agents separating children from their parents when they come here seeking asylum?
A deep tenet of Christianity is a belief in the healing power of sin followed by redemption. We are a country of immigrants living on stolen land that was developed with slave labor. And yet we are also the freest place on earth.
Why continue promoting our sins? Why not work on our ongoing redemption?
