Apropos White Evangelical Racism, it’s worth noting that the first American institutions to split north and south, with Southerners taking the initiative, were the Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches in the 1840s. It took till 1995 for the Southern Baptist Convention to apologize with its “Resolution On Racial Reconciliation On The 150th Anniversary.”
The central argument of the book is that white supremacy/racism is not incidental for white evangelicals. It is foundational.
