A book worthy lament of 1990-2020, is the number of black men who were encouraged to turn their backs on the black church and black women for the “better, expository preached, Reformed gospel” & “racial reconciliation” only to find out that evnglclsm was theologically bankrupt.
So many brothers are (1) walking around deeply wounded, (2) no longer in ministry at all, (3) needed to “leave loud” as a way of healing, (4) feel betrayed, (5) feel like they wasted their best years, (6) etc.
The theological bankruptcy was exposed between Michael Brown’s death & the end of Trump’s presidency. It led to a mass exodus of many potential history-changing leaders. The #SBCtoo sex abuse news exposes even more bankruptcy. They thought Reformed Hip Hop would lead to revival.
Processing Michael Brown’s death (and others), racism American Calvinism’s history, syncretizing faith w/the GOP, etc. revealed that the Gospel Emperors had idolatrous clothes. Brothers were charged with being “woke,” “cultural Marxists,” “an SJW,” & ergo anti-gospel. Sad story.
