Found a panel from 2018's PasCon with Jarvis Williams + Matt Hall, made public last November. This is before either of them became controversial, so they're...more at ease, is one way to say it.

Jarvis: "You can have racism operating in a context where there are no individual racists, and that, in part. is the way in which white supremacy works, in a socially sophisticated way."

David Bailey: "In many ways, we can't even fully understand who God is unless we have a multiethnic, multicultural, socio-economically diverse, diverse genders expression of understanding who God is."

Sounds rather... Warnockian.

"God's people are called to be a blessing to other nations. We aren't supposed to be nationalistic."

[Why not both?]

"Throughout the OT, God says: Remember you were once oppressed, you were once slaves, and so don't take the ways of the empire into the promised land."

"We began to make a separation between a spiritual salvation and a physical salvation in order to justify the economics [of chattel slavery]...We've inherited a theology where you can separate, your gospel could be both spiritual and not have any kind of physical manifestation."

This is so scummy. Juxtaposing the "doll baby" test, made famous by Brown v. Board, with systematic theology:

"When you get into church, white theology is the right theology. It's not, like, it's just orthodoxy. And other things are just kind of other types of theology."

Again: NAME ONE DOCTRINE THAT IS "WHITE." Give us a mainstream systematics textbook and give the page number.

Matt Hall agrees, expands the thought with the unspecific charge of yt ppl lumping all works from POC theologians together as "black theology." Who has used that term as a pejorative? Black *liberation* theology, yes, but if he made that distinction, it would give away the game.

"Ask the Spirit to put you in spaces. You go to the spaces where black and brown people are, and learn on their turf."
