equality

White Americans like me cannot truly understand the African American experience. As I stated earlier this week, I have never experienced racial, economic, or judicial system discrimination. I would guess that many of you are like me.

To that end, I would like to recommend some resources I have discovered this week:

While a Tennessee police officer prayed with protester during a rally for racial equality and justice for George Floyd, in Wisconsin, protestors sang the contemporary Christian song "Waymaker" as they too march for racial equality.

Former NFL coach Tony Dungy took to Twitter over the weekend imploring Christians to lead the charge in the fight for racial equality.

It’s ironic how often orthodox Christians are accused of being obsessed with sex these days. After all, what’s more obsessive than investigating thousands of businesses to determine whether they’re “kind” and “inclusive” only to those who engage in certain types of sexual behavior, and not to anyone else?

It would be one thing if the Human Rights Campaign kept this obsession to themselves, but they’ve successfully weaponized their Equality Index as a formidable force of their obsession. 

A "National Teacher of the Year" award recipient from Minnesota is speaking out after controversy sparked because she kneeled during the National Anthem at the National College Playoffs Football Championship game with the president in attendance.

Yet again, Fuller Theological Seminary is facing a lawsuit after the school expelled a second student because of his sexual identity. 

Today is Juneteenth (“June” plus “nineteenth”). The less you know about this holiday, the more you need to know. On June 19, 1865, two months after the Confederacy surrendered, Union General Gordon Granger led a group of federal troops into Galveston, Texas. Maj. Gen. Granger issued this declaration: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, ‘all slaves are free.’

One of the most important developments in American culture over the last few years has been the elevation of women. Especially since the #MeToo movement inspired victims to come forward, we’ve become serious about ending the harassment and silencing of women.

In 2011, the Human Rights Campaign launched a video series that, according to HRC’s president, would “help drive the national conversation about same-sex marriage.” And it did just that. The series featured professional athletes, movie stars, politicians and civil rights leaders. And look where we are today.

Parker, who was both a KKK Grand Dragon and an American Neo-Nazi, might have describe himself as being filled with hate a year ago, but since the rally in Charlottesville, Parker has completely reformed and found a new faith in Jesus Christ.
