"When you...stay silent, when you push back + say things like 'all lives matter,' and when right now more than 12 million people are being persecuted because of the color of their skin...Christ follower, you have missed the point."
Yasmin Roohi, Silicon Valley's CenterSet Church
<Lest anyone assume otherwise, "All Lives Matter" is cringe and I have never uttered, typed, or written it anywhere unless quoting others>
"Until black lives matter, all lives can't matter. They simply don't matter."
"When I look at Jesus, his humility says: I want what's right over being right."
"We want a job for every black person in America for the next 100 years. And the government can do it. We want child care for every parent who's African-American for the next 100 years. We want free health care for every black American for the next 100 years."

"I'll know that you're saved when you start talking about reparations. I'll know that you're saved when you start saying and acknowledging that negro people should be paid back."

"I use Ibram Kendi's definition of racist ideas: that a racist idea is any idea in which a racial group is considered inferior to another racial group in any way, and so when white people benefit from that construction, that's what white supremacy is."
ANCIENT WOKE PREACHER CLIPS: Dr. Jonathan Tran of Baylor University is talking "white theology," "whiteness," "centering," and more in this ***2009*** lecture (his bio says he joined Baylor in '06) titled "Why Asian American Christianity Has No Future":
"We need to always remember that Christianity isn't Christianity + you Christians don't do amazing things because your expectation is that the world *will* come to an end, but rather...because you believe, in Christ, the world *has* come to an end..."
"To be American is to be racialized...to be understood as a Race-American: African-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American...You would be very hard-pressed to say what exactly it is that makes you Asian-American but you know for certain you are not black, Mexican or white."
