"White theology cannot know the God of the oppressed because its knee remains on the neck of the black and powerless despite their cries for help. These are God's cries. God died with George Floyd. God suffered and suffocated at the hands of white supremacy. . . . 1/3

. . . The radical conclusion we must draw from Cone's theology is that these cries of unrest are God's Word to white America. It is a call for us to repent of white supremacy and turn to the God of the poor and powerless. . . 2/3

. . . White supremacy, the white theology that supports it, and the silent white Churches that do nothing in the face of injustice are culpable; they murdered God in the death of George Floyd." 3/3
