Dear White Evangelicals, your President changed policy at border in Ft. Lauderdale today. Kept black people out. Called them dangerous gang members—very bad people. Actually, they are desperate families who just lost EVERY SINGLE THING in #HurricaneDorian. #matthew25 #luke10 1/
Dear White Evangelicals, You are the ONLY voting block that still supports Trump. Only one thing can be concluded from this marriage: Two have become one. You are Trump. Trump is you. 2/
Dear White Evangelicals, The most disturbing thing is to see Trump using the same logic you use to keep non-whites out of your churches, leadership teams and board rooms. Blackness = violent = keep them away. 3/
Dear White Evangelicals, It is more devastating when your racism is operationalized through the president. Trump sent children, fathers, mothers and grandparents into futures full of suffering today. Why? Because black = dangerous in YOUR minds. #twohavebecomeone #matthew25 4/4

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

@playwrightwoman @jamieleefinch Hey, @playwrightwoman. Thanks for reading and thanks for the tag. I read the threads. Here’s the point I tried to make, albeit I could have made it better: Christianity as we have come to understand it has absolutely been centered in Europe. 1/
@playwrightwoman @jamieleefinch The European story has become THE story of Christianity. European arguments, ideas, hang-ups, decisions, failures, skin pigments and accents have dominated our Western imagination of Jesus, Moses, David, Mary, Paul, Genesis, the cross, the resurrection and every thing. 2/
@playwrightwoman @jamieleefinch What is the impact of taking a religion born in the context of the oppressed and colonized and reinterpreting it from the social location of empire? The religion of the oppressed becomes transformed into a tool of oppression. 3/

To all the people, designated White by colonizing nations, who are becoming disillusion by your evangelical or Christian faith: When you walk away from Jesus you are not #woke. You are operating out of the white supremacy you say you abhor. 1/ #LiberatingEvangelicalism
When you walk away from Jesus and Christian faith to be “woke” you are walking away from a faith that sprang from brown, indigenous, colonized people. You’re walking away from faith born on the underside of empire in the context of oppressed peoples. 2/ #LiberatingEvangelicalism
You’re walking away from the faith of enslaved people who found such profound liberation in Jesus that they broke laws to gather together and worship in #trees! 3/

In case you wondered, as time permits I add Q drops tha match the deltas (time between tweets) & timestamps on President Trump’s Tweets as a way to re_read drops & to see if they are deliberate on POTUS part, possibly pointing to a specific drop. Sometimes they seem to be! 😊

Today is #WorldKidneyDay, so here is a thread about living on #dialysis & #OrganDonation. My name is Belinda Otas. I’m #African. I’m #Nigerian. I'm #Benin. I’m #British & I’m #Black. Beyond the nationalities or passports with my name, I also believe in our shared humanity.
I was 16, when I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF.) I had no idea what was happening to me because at the time, it made no sense. However, I remember the pain of that period like noonday. I lived on dialysis until i was 22. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth
It took over my teenage years. I don’t remember having much of a life as a teenager because dialysis was 3x a week & every session was 4hrs. Add the time it takes to recover from being exhausted by the process, my day was pretty much over. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth

...am I really walking to The National right now to report back on Blexit? 🧜🏻‍♀️
Seats mostly look full. There was a movie to start.

Now Candace Owens is opening saying this is a 90s vibe b/c it didn’t feel like it used to be like this. Cited growing up watching Huxtables, the Jeffersons, etc. She wanted to be a doctor, not like Mike.
Loud applause when she says America is not racist, the media wants us to think it is. Now Owens is calling out Ralph. Says this is the Capitol of “Democrat Hypocrisy.” 🧜🏻‍♀️

Today is the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. I’m here because of abortion. Because women in my family were able to get the abortions they needed, legal and not, and move forward with their lives. Just like I was. I’m always thankful for abortion.
Abortion isn’t a new medical procedure. It’s been around as long as pregnancy has. Only in the last 150 years or so has it been criminalized. Pills and herbs that promised to bring back the menses were advertised and shared. It’s not new.
history.com/news/the-crimi…
This is why I get very irritated when white people say abortion is worse than slavery or is Black genocide. First off, it’s simply not, and the way this country refuses to address how slavery built this nation and how its legacy lives on is appalling.

"Evangelicals" is a term that was co-opted by white supremacists. There was a time when those Christian sects who promoted proselytizing to recruit others (evangelizing) were called Evangelicals. Then the megachurches that specialize in brainwashing to fleece the uninformed 1/
assumed the title, since they were aggressively recruiting cult members. Part of the schtick was unthinking acceptance of whatever the dear leader told them god wanted (including of course giving him.her money). Promising "forgiveness" and "eternal salvation" is the key 2/
selling point to separate rubes from their $. As it happens, a whole lot of low-information white folks are susceptible to this scam. They are promised "salvation" despite the fact they are racist AF. The leaders realized this and adopted every dog whistle in the book to 3/
