And because it looks different, too many people are fooled into thinking it isn’t racism at all. /9

This is the racism of today. It’s not the segregation signs or cross burnings of the past. It’s subtler, more insidious, and harder to combat because it hides behind a mask of moral righteousness. /8

As if everything mentioned above weren’t bad enough on its own, when you consider that the church is often on the front lines of perpetuating this modern form of racism, it makes it even worse. /7

Or the countless innocent Black people killed by law enforcement, only for their deaths to be justified, excused, or ignored. These are grotesque celebrations of lives lost, disguised as justice. /6

We hear it in the rhetoric of "victimhood," as if pointing out injustice somehow makes you weak. And let’s not forget the most glaring examples: the applause that erupts when Black people are killed in public, with offenders hailed as heroes under the guise of "self-defense."/5

These efforts are undermined under the guise of “equality,” erasing the history of inequity that created the need for them in the first place. They’re sold as noble crusades for "fairness," when in reality, they’re just new ways to reinforce old hierarchies./4

It’s in the lawsuits against economic programs aimed at helping Black communities, such as policies designed to compensate Black farmers after decades of systemic discrimination. /3

We see it in the open attacks on diversity and equity programs, branded as unnecessary or even divisive. These attacks ignore the systemic barriers that such programs are meant to address. /2
