1 thought on “CHRISTIAN MALEVOLENCE: “A Real Short Memory” / Chris Rock”

1. Today, words like ”Christianity’, ‘religion’, or ‘God’ lack any useful content on their own; they’re empty vessels into which people pour their intentions with little regard to communication or dialectal method. In the black church Christianity has long been a contested notion. For all his achievements in civil rights, MLK Jr. was also castigated within the black churches for being seen as hewing to a white theology that blessed oppression. Another wing of the church, albeit smaller, represented a black liberation theology that prophetically called out structural oppression and one of its bulwarks, white Christianity. Associated with the misunderstood Black Power movement of the 1960s, the narrative and message of a black theology of liberation never gained traction in mid-century America but still exists today in the voices of folks like Jeremiah Wright.
