27. The Color of Compromise- with Jemar Tisby

Video for this episode available on patreon. Thank you to all my supporters www.patreon.com/montemaderThe book "The Color of Compromise" is an heartbreaking historical journey through the history of America specifically around faith and the racial divide. In this episode we sit with the author of "The Color of Compromise" and "The Spirit of Justice" Jemar Tisby. He is an author, historian, speaker and Christian who calls on his readers to faith history honestly, to step out of the bounds of complacency into real activism and real change. Today we talk about head-shaking history, the development of "white is right" and the ideal that began to associate Christianity with European descent. We discuss "hereditary heathenism" and the key role the white church has played in injustice, both by her actions, and by her silence. We get to choose in this moment how the story of our lives will be written. When it comes to our response to injustice, "What will it say?"
