In some circles, the term "Christ" seems to function as a code word for white nationalism disguised as Christianity. To genuinely confess Jesus as messiah is to insist that his politics, his way of being in the world, goes. That his teachings are rightly pursued as normative.
Otherwise, "Christ" is a secret handshake b/w bigots, b/w those in the know concerning "our faith," "our values," as Bill Barr & @VP & @SecondLady might put it. This "Christ" has nothing to say on the extrajudicial killing of black people & the devastation of the natural world.
When someone claims to know "Christ" (or imply that someone else doesn't), is it a reference to the #BelovedCommunity of Jesus and the prophets or a handy bit of #FaithLaundering for our military industrial entertainment incarceration complex?
