Ending Racism In America, Like Good Christians

I'VE BEEN TO CHURCH maybe several dozen times in my life, tops. Not bad for a non Christian. A few weddings, a quiet moment or two in an iconic Catholic cathedral, some Sunday morning sermons. Far as I can recall, I have never seen nor heard a single minister say anything about racism, talk about it and how evil it is, unless it was a black church on television. Maybe its just the luck of the draw. Or maybe it isn't. Maybe ministers of the gospel simply tend not to broach the topic, for fear or consequences, for fear of angering racist church members. Maybe there is a failure on the part of America's faith based community to adequately address racism in America. By "adequately address", I mean eliminate, as in wipe it out by turning it into a grave sin against God, eradicate it, and nothing less. Since historically almost everyone in America has been a self described Christian, and since over seventy percent still are, the total and complete eradication of white on black racism in America is not an unreasonable goal. If the Christians insist on it, the other twenty seven percent of the population, the non Christian population, will have no choice but to do the same. Let the evil of racism be preached from every pulpit in America! repeatedly. Racism is evil enough to prioritize at the pulpit. Racism is very real in America, even as we speak, and is currently "enjoying" an upsurge in popularity, as Trump, although perhaps unintentionally, gives inspiration to and emboldens bigots. Most of the church services I've seen I've seen on television. Again, I cannot recall having ever heard a single solitary minister even mention, let alone condemn or discuss racism in America, in particular white against black variety. As we all know, the white subjugation of the black is the overwhelming source of racism, the source of all other kinds. I have heard many a cleric preach against Muslims, gays, liberals, and democrats, but never racists. Any guesses as to the reasons for this? Are church leaders possibly reluctant to broach the topic for fear of alienating their congregants? Keep those tithes coming in. Do not risk alienating the wealthiest, most conservative portion of the church membership? Is that it? In a country which often calls itself a "Christian" country, but is demonstrably a "racist" one, it might be time to examine causal connections and the relationship of the Christian faith to the original American sin. A good serving of soul searching might be overdue, long overdue.
