It's an old tactic of white Christians to:
1) cling to the worst-faith interpretation of your words and actions
2) cast aspersions on the theological orthodoxy and even the salvation of Black Christians who express an opinion they don't like.

Of course, others just accuse the people pointing out racism of being racists. It's like blaming the rain on the one who says it's raining. And many of them probably have trouble loving themselves so they can't love others and lash out at others in a rage.
This is the work. Telling the truth when you know it will anger people. Disciplining yourself not to respond with hate. But the work is rewarding. Somehow hope finds a way to manifest itself--often through community. You find others on the way who share the burden and their love.
