Just a simple question...
If you can acknowledge the existence of racially based policies such as slavery, the near extermination of Native Americans and their removal from "their" lands, the super-exploitation and degrading utilization of Mexicans and various Asian groups as contract laborers, Jim Crow and any number of other degrading practices that were a part of US history from at least 1776-1960's... ...Can you still laud the Protestant religious foundations of the US as pure and true?
I love America and I love Jesus, but if I hear one more person talking about the Christian roots of our forefathers without acknowledging the bigotry and discrimination that excluded even most white men and all white woman from the rights of citizenship as part of the development of a liberal nation-state, I'm gonna throw up.
Holla Back!
