Just how pervasive is white supremacy among Christians?

RE: Just how pervasive is white supremacy among Christians?
Churches and schools, man, churches and schools.  Put's the whole thing into a new kind of perspective, lol. We know there are plenty of grown racists, but they all had to have been kids once..and where the hell are they pumping out all those racist kids? Wink

Regardless of the ethnic distribution or integration of an area..there will be black and white churches and schools. Meaningful desegregation of either is the exception, not the norm.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28

I think that alone speaks for itself against any form of prejudice in the New Testament.

People aren't made of new magic books, so it wouldn't matter if a person -couldn't- point to some other verse to justify their prejudice..which, ofc..they can and do. Though..more and more commonly, christian racism is sanitized as opposition to the left and the degraded status of those persons with respect to some idiosyncratic christian standard of decency. The racists, they say to themselves, aren't even being racist. They're standing up to the libs and against the dissolution of the christian family and societal order.

It just so happens that it's Those People™ living like ass crazy savages on the dem plantation, committing all the crimes and whatnot. Christ would not have approved.

All I'm saying is that it takes a special kind of hate to twist around what is one of the most obvious concepts in the bible.

It does, but it's a common kind of special hate, and it has it's mimics in other.. more acceptable...forms of expression.  If I had to really nail it down..I'd say that out and out antipathy is limited to exactly the places and denominations anyone would expect it to be.  Apathy, however, is pervasive. It's the same dynamic at play in the rcc scandal right now, over a different subject.

And when was the last time you went to church to witness this apathy? An obscure youtube video doesn't exactly constitute evidence of a widespread problem.

I don't have to go elephant hunting to know that there's a problem in the ivory trade, Neo. You can go research any of this for yourself, the information is in the public domain.

Let wonder lead you to knowledge.

I don’t know any.

How many do you know who characterize the plight of the inner city as an absence of god and good christian tradition?

All I'm saying is that it takes a special kind of hate to twist around what is one of the most obvious concepts in the bible.

That's just it: KKK people don't see themselves as hateful or angry, but very loving and protective of the "right" people from "wrong" people to which they don't even consider human beings and there is more than plenty of that kind of "love" in the Bible, like:

The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession.  - Deuteronomy 7:6

Each of you shall kill any of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. - Numbers 25:5

Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. - Matthew 15:21-28


You are doing the works of your own father.”
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!  - John 8:41-45

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. - Exodus 23:23–33
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
