#TuckerCarlson spoke in Macomb County, a county that flipped to #Trump in 2016, remained w/him in 2020 & likely will play a role in 2024 presidential politics. Carlson advised the crowd to organize & to “speak w/total *honesty*, clarity & #aggression.”

He also falsely stated that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged,” which drew enthusiastic applause from the crowd.

Republicans are very angry that they are being judged by the content of their character not by the color of their skin.

"Centuries of complicity in violence and oppression, followed by denial and repression, have taken their toll. Across the board, attendance is dramatically declining, seminaries are closing or merging, Christian colleges are struggling, and churches are facing widespread sexual abuse scandals."

"I’ve thought a lot about James Baldwin’s description of White people, and I believe this particularly applies to White Christian people, as the 'slightly mad victims of their own brainwashing.' No one can look at the current state of White Christian churches and other institutions and make a serious argument that they are healthy."

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."

"While the Doctrine of Discovery has escaped scrutiny by most white scholars and theologians, Indigenous people and scholars of color have long been testifying to these Christian roots of white supremacy, while dying from and living with their damaging effects."

This is a complex conversation, as @ImaniBarbarin points out in her other posts on TT.

Because the upshot is division. A rending of community by white supremacy. It will be easy for unthinking neo-lib types to watch this conversation and waaaay down deep feel their fear of Black men is justified.

It will be easier for our brothers to fall down a rabbit hole of right wing patriarchal propaganda
since 'uppity Black women who don't know their place' are now a shared enemy.

And if Black women, who have been historically -- and continue to be -- the bulwark and connections for multiple liberatory movements not only have to fight The Man but also *our* men - how sustainable is that? That's exhausting.

But here we are. Good job, Patriarchy+White Supremacy. You won this round.

#Twitter is officially an #antisemitic, #homophobic #platform by and for #bigots. The time has come when you can no longer be a user of the site AND profess to be against #whitesupremacy, #antisemitism, #hatred, and #bigotry. You need to choose, and by continuing to use the platform you HAVE chosen.

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."

Most Texans now believe that racist monuments should come down. But that's only the beginning of grappling with the evils in our past, writes Editor-in-Chief @gabrielarana:

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.
