Quote of Note #189: Racism and White Christians


“Black theology is alien to most white people–and if they hear a little bit of it in a negative context or out of context, they are likely to have serious problems with it. Racism creates anger. Because of the blatant racism of the past and its common occurrence today, many white Christians do just enough social good in the black community to salve their consciences while maintaining imperialistic theology. They do just enough good to get by without repentance.”
