    Christians are anti-racist BY NATURE. There are very few actual white nationalists and zero with any political power, despite what you’ve been told via the hyperbolic Democrat rhetoric and their paid online spokespersons and former mainstream news outlets.

      Christians are anti-racist BY NATURE

      well, this much at least used to be true historically. back 2000 years ago, when christianity was invented, it was normal that each ethnic group had their own religion. i.e. a god represented an ethnicity, instead of an idea.

      zoroastrianism, later judaism and christianity tried to change that by making god represent an idea, instead of an ethnic group. you could say it’s the transition from ethnics to ethics.

      they welcomed everyone who shared the same ideals as them, (including strangers and foreigners), and that changed the world. it was basically an anti-racist movement and one that tried to focus on intellectual insights and deep convictions instead of birthplace and color of skin.

      it is in this context particularly funny that white nationalists are using christianity as a reason for their racism. because that’s literally the opposite of what christianity was invented to do.

      i’m well aware that christianity has enshittified a lot in the modern age and that it’s nothing but an empty, hollow word now. just saying.
