The best explanation of the difference between how black scholars are treated on social media vs. others. I’ve never seen a demand/expectation that white evangelical theologians engage random lay people. “How dare he not respond to person X” is never said of Denny Burk, et al.

The only people who have a reasonable rights claim to my time are my family, my students, & anyone else from whom I’ve receiving a salary. Intramural quarrels on Twitter, with random people I don’t know, are veritably not worth my time.
It’s extraordinary that people believe *they* have a right to your time or have a right to tell you what you should do with *your* time “for the sake of the church.” That’s the arrogance & condescension of all time. Jim Crow ended in 1964, we don’t *have to* respond anymore.
