I can think of little that is more divisive than spending 5 years daily telling Christians that every form of antiracism, except that which is acceptable to White conservatives, is incompatible with the Gospel, especially after 400 years legal, economic, & social White supremacy.

The spark of desire throughout our nation to achieve racial justice could've been embraced by White evangelicals as a cause dear to the heart of Jesus, but instead it was attacked on the very same terms that enslavers & segregationists used to oppose abolitionism and integration.
This "division" sits squarely in the laps of those who sought to smear thousands of faithful Christians as adherents to every "scary" sounding quote you could find, saddling them with whole systems of ideas that you mischaracterized through "worldview" word games.
I pray that you all will one day repent of this truly divisive behavior. I have heard from SO MANY Christians telling me how you and Voddie and others have wreaked havoc in their churches, giving language and a veneer of "faithfulness" to those anxious to bludgeon antiracists.
At least the political smear agents have been honest about what they're doing, like Rufo below.
But, unfortunately, those bearing the moniker of "Christian" seem to feel they have divine sanction to speak for God and condemn souls to hell based on their own social philosophies.
