[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 76023285, member: 326155"] Interesting how many people in this thread seem to think the divide between black and white Christians begins with CRT and BLM. Let's go back to the pastor and founder of the original Baptist church in America (the real "First Baptist Church")...who was an ardent abolitionist. The early American Baptists were so opposed to slavery that they didn't even permit members to hire domestic servants. But the Southern Baptist Convention split away from those Abolitionist Baptists in 1845 [B]explicitly [/B]so that they could keep their slaves. Who thinks that was not a point of division? And it's interesting that in 1787, even slaveholders were willing to admit that slavery was a sin (as other Christians all around the world were concluding)...but 13 years later, Christians in the south concocted the ridiculous, unbiblical "Curse of Ham" theory to declare slavery was ordained by God as a continuing commandment against the black race...and has even been supported in these forums. Who thinks that was not a point of division? What of white people calling themselves Christians, yet on a Saturday night capturing black men and women, torturing them, strangling them, setting them afire even before they were dead, then clipping off their fingers and toes as souvenirs...and then the next Sunday morning singing "How Great Thou Art?" Who thinks that was not a point of division? What of white people calling themselves Christian bombing a bus for carrying both whites and blacks through their state? Or bombing a church and killing four black girls in Sunday School...and then the white jury exonerating the killers? Christians, all of them. Who thinks that was not a point of division? Who thinks white Christians declaring Barak Obama the Anti-Christ and that the world was coming to an end because he was elected president was not a point of division? White Christians hated Martin Luther King's guts as he said, "I have a dream," oh, but now you want to quote [B]that one line[/B]--[B]only[/B] that one line--and still ignore everything else he had to say. Y'll act like CRT and BLM are the causes of the problem. You're wrong. They are reactions to it. [/QUOTE]
