Reply #1: The problem is BLT is just as fucked up and anti-Biblical as American Civil Religion

No matter how good it makes some black folks feel. Jesus was neither black nor "white", if he existed at all; he was a Semite.

Regardless, though the article makes some good points about American sacred cows, it is bullshit. Everything that Jesus preached was about reaching out to people who are different and who are traditionally shunned, and not condemning people based on where they came from or what was between their legs. He said there is neither Jew nor Gentile, nor Greek, nor male or female in the body of Christ. This does not mean that you don't celebrate your heritage, it means he was trying to put an end to the kind of tribal bullshit at the root of a lot of the problems of his day.

There is a reason the black Evangelical church rejects BLT.
