1) THREAD:

It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can be okay with racism and xenophobia toward people of color, Immigrants, Muslims, etc., yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who is a Middle Eastern man and was once an Immigrant.
2) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can be okay with the abortion of unborn babies, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who was once an unborn baby in the womb of His mother Mary and born in a manger.
3) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can be okay with building a wall to keep out all Migrants and Immigrants because of their racism/xenophobia, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who was once an Immigrant.
4) It blows my mind that some pastors can cover up the abuse women, girls, and boys go through, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who respects, honors, protects, and loves women, girls, and boys.
5) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can be okay with the separation of migrant parents and children, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who was once young baby and child.
6) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can say, “Just preach the Gospel!” yet on Sunday worship the God who calls His Church—you and me, to do justice on behalf of our neighbor.
7) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians are silent on the injustice people of color and Immigrants face, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who experienced injustice when seeking asylum as an Immigrant Child.
8) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can dislike someone based on the color of their skin, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who was a Middle Eastern man of color.

1) THREAD: I was called Beaner and Wetback

One of the coolest things we’ve done @TheimmigProject is make it a priority to speak with Pastors, Christians, and anyone really seeking to have a civil conversation about the complexity of Immigration one-on-one by phone or in...
2) person. Today I had a call scheduled with a Christian man who lives here in the South. I called him and the beginning of the conversation was great and very civil—UNTIL, he began to attack, as if in a normal conversation, Mexicans and Mexican Immigrants by calling them...
3) “Illegal Beaners”, “Wetbacks”, “gang members”, and “rapists.” When I heard him say this I said, “Excuse me brother. I’m for Border Security because it’s needed along the Southern Border, but this doesn’t give you the right to call Mexican Immigrants Illegal Beaners...

1) Texts between me and Undocumented Guatemalan Pastor:

Guatemalan Pastor: “Mi Hermano, missiology is misunderstood here in the U.S.”

Me: “Why do you say that, brother?”

Guatemalan Pastor: “When I was in Guatemala, missions teams from the U.S. Churches would come to my...
2) country and Lovingly engage with me without hesitation. They would give me food, take pictures with me, and help teach me God’s Word. But ever since I’ve been in the U.S., many Christian Citizens hardly engage with me and my family. Especially at Church because people know...
3) I’m undocumented. They want to love me in my country, but many don’t want to in the U.S. because of my documentation status? This is bad missiology, Hermano.”

Me: “I can’t argue against that. Many fellow Christians in the U.S. will go on week long mission trip once a year...

1) I was at the U.S.-Mexico Border in August 2018, and when I spoke with Border Patrol agents, they told me we 1. must develop new Border security metrics. 2. provide additional infrastructure and personnel at ports of entry. 3. require additional training and oversight of...
2) CBP, 4. augment the more than 600 miles of physical barriers (or a "wall") we already have on the southern border with better infrastructure. 5. AND put wall in needed places—Urban areas. 6. We must show more compassion to Immigrants and Migrants because they’re human...
3) All of this was told to me in one way or another. I think all of this is important for us to understand because we are either on the “No wall side” or the “We need the wall side.” The fact of the matter is there’s a healthy balance. And we must always seek this civilly. We...

Since this fool wants to come for my comedy crush @nicolebyer let’s break down ALL the issues with this foolish ass thread.
1: I’ve watched every episode of @NailedIt & to claim that Nicole Byer is only nice to black contestants is frankly a lie. However, even if that were the case, consider that this is a highly edited reality TV show which means editors choose which parts of her behavior we see.
2: Mr. Flores seems to lack a fundamental understanding of what #racism is so let’s review, shall we? Racism is fundamentally a belief that one’s own race is superior, however, in critical race theory, scholars also assert that racism must be combined with systemic power to work.

Why I decided to oppose @MBuhari - @bukolasaraki addresses followers in Kwara State 👇

"All that you have complained about tonight is on point, I can not find anything you have said that is not on point, you complained about empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Let us agree that the last 3 and a half years, things have not been easy at all, I agree and accept things have not been easy at all, particularly in the area of empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Before 2015 I have always tried to empower the youth and get you involved in appointments, but this time around as a result of what I call human factor, things have not been the same, I believe it is the will of God" @bukolasaraki

I lost over 100 followers this week standing up for WOC being attacked by white women.
I'm sorry to have lost them because it means those folks missed the point.
White people have an obligation to POC in America because of the damage #racism inflicts even if we aren't #racist.
1/
The hardest words in any language are "I'm sorry."
Acknowledging our flaws goes against ego.
But it's essential.
I know I am a strong person with strong Socialist politics.
I know I can be intense.
But I am a fiundamentally kind person who doesn't want to hurt people.
2/
At times I know I <have> hurt people--we all have.
And that is my point: If people tell you you have hurt them, listen.
I don't mean casual snark, but hurt.
Listen.
Say you are sorry.
Repentance is under-utilized and under-valued, and that's not just my Catholicism talking.
