On September 22, the UN will host a conference marking the 20th anniversary of the 2001 "World Conference on Racism in Durban." The original Durban conference was hijacked by people and a terrorist-supporting agenda rife with antisemitism and bashing Israel. So far, a number of countries are boycotting the upcoming conference: Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Hungary, Netherlands, UK and the US. The rest of the world, however, seems to think that there's no problem with the UN hosting another conference whose sole purpose is to smear Israel.

Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the far-right extremist group Proud Boys, has been sentenced to five months in jail for setting a historic Black church’s Black Lives Matter banner on fire in December and possessing high-capacity firearm magazines when he returned to Washington days before the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Already, several evangelical denominational meetings have grabbed headlines this summer as they discussed critical race theory, the ordination of those who identify as gay and the Doctrine of Discovery among other things. But, the UCC, which is slated to start their meeting this Sunday, repudiated the Doctrine of Discovery years ago. It also has long since settled questions about the inclusion of its LGBTQ clergy and declared itself called to be an “anti-racist church.”

Two Southern Baptist sources have confirmed with RNS that the Southern Baptist Convention leader who made racist and sexist remarks about author and speaker Trillia Newbell was Paige Patterson.

On the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, hundreds attended an interfaith memorial service at the historic AME church.

If you’re like many white Americans, you knew little (if anything) about the Tulsa Race Massacre before recent days and weeks. We can therefore speak and act in ways that communicate racist messages and deepen racist divisions without knowing we are doing so. Here we see the wisdom of the early Christians in selecting believers from the Greek-speaking part of the church to lead in responding to the needs of Greek-speaking members. These leaders could speak for those they represented and help the church minister holistically with greater effectiveness. I am convinced that every church, ministry, and organization in America should follow their example. Here’s how.

As Americans commemorate the Tusla race massacre’s centennial, the Museum of the Bible will release a video series that will give the members of the Vernon Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church community, the only surviving Black business in that area from 1921, a platform to tell their story.

This week, I hope to persuade us to take two biblical steps in response to the racial divisions, discrimination, and violence that persist in our nation. We will explore the first step today and the second step tomorrow.

Kellogg's is working with LGBT advocacy group GLADD to celebrate LGBT Pride Month in June. This move has caused a lot of parents to push back against company for taking up a political agenda. But the real controversy isn’t that Kellogg’s is peddling gender confusion. The deeper issue is why the woke folk at GLAAD—who are hell-bent on fighting racism, are happy to take money from the Kellogg’s company whose creator, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, was an “extremely racist person” and a leader in the now-discredited eugenics movement.

Planned Parenthood is the most obvious example there is of systemic racism, a concept many people reject out of hand but shouldn’t.break
