It's pretty clear that very few black people felt oppressed as they were fighting for more access to the spaces and money of their "horrible oppressors." I would think as a Christian you would respect the Bible and be pro-ethnonantionalism as per the instructions throughout Genesis, the Old Testament being entirely ethnonationalist, Acts instruction to separate people, and Revelations also. The Biblical instruction to separate people of different lineages are certainly much stronger than MLK's lack and manipulation of Biblical teaching, which you would expect as his writings deny all miracles of Jesus, including his birth and resurrection https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/what-experiences-christians-living-early-christian-century-led-christian I feel like you're being led down a particularly dangerous route. King, Malcolm X, JFK, all recognized that the black community was filled with militants and was committing tons of violence during this period. The "peaceful protest" myth is really selective and doesn't look at how most of the riots actually started.

I think we're going rapidly downhill now, though, which will be a pity.Doug1943https://www.blogger.com/profile/03833632801624062004noreply@blogger.com
