Joy Reid then puts on the screen a polling finding of Jones' PRRI, which asked (2023) Americans to respond to this statement:

"God intended American to be a promised land where European Christians could create a society that would be an example to the rest of the world."

Onlyn 30% of Americans agree. But 52% of Republicans and 56% of white evangelicals agree.

Joy Reid interviews Robert P. Jones about his new book The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy. He states,

"One of the things I've really become convinced of one reason it's at the heart of this new book is that this idea that this country is intended by God to be a promised land for European Christians is very much still with us."

Ned Blackhawk on Robert P. Jones' new book The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy:

"Less focused on racial disparities in income or educational attainment than on cultural forces of resistance, including 'white Christian nationalism,' Jones sees within contemporary America a pernicious refusal to accept 'remembrance' of the form that Biden has promoted."

Robert P. Jones' new book The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy will be published this week. As publication nears, he's appearing in various video clips and podcasts to discuss the book and its historical analysis of white supremacy in American culture and, above all, in white American Christianity. The posting below from his blog contains links to several of those interviews.

"Why are we in 2023, 2024 continuing to argue about our history lessons, continuing to argue about the Civil War, slavery, these things I many people thought were long-settled questions. I think it's because these questions, the roots of those questions, that is, what kind of a country are we and who is this country for, those questions have never really honestly and fully been answered."

Robert P. Jones on why he wrote his forthcoming book The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy:

"One of things that makes this work more urgent for me is that questions of race and religion are absolutely at the heart of what's tearing this country apart."

New episode of #JenRubinsGreenroom!
GROWING EXTREMISM w #RobertPJones

“Jen has a conversation with author and expert on the rise of the radical religious right in recent years, Robert P. Jones. Together they look at the growing power and platforms held by White Christian Nationalists, the role they play in social division and Republican policies, and how Trump allowed the SCOTUS to become compromised by fundamentalists. They also break down how that message has fused with Protestant churches while continuing to celebrate the Old South– with a look to how we can bring them back from extremism and into our democratic system. “
