It's a dead giveaway that the reason evangelicals love President Trump will be racism when the title identifies WHITE evangelicals.

Liberals have a tendency to wring their hands at the strong support President Donald Trump — he of the three wives and multiple affairs, and a tendency to engage in exceedingly un-Christian-like behavior at the slightest provocation — continues to receive from the white evangelical community. White evangelical support for Donald Trump is still at 73 percent, and more than 80 percent of white evangelicals voted for him in 2016.
But focusing on the disconnect between Trump's personal actions and the moral aspects of their faith misses the issue that keeps their support firm: racism. Modern evangelicals' support for this president cannot be separated from the history of evangelicals' participation in and support for racist structures in America.
Evangelicals, in religious terminology, believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of humanity. They have a long history in America, and include a number of different groups, including Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists and nondenominational churches. After the schism among the Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians in the 1850s over slavery, conservative denominations like the Southern Baptists — who defended slavery through their readings of scripture — came into being. And because the primary schisms between northern and southern denominations was over the issues of slavery, in the pre- and post-Civil War years, African American Protestants formed their own denominations.

I’m no longer surprised at the depths of vileness that the MSM sinks to.
Her race card is maxed out.
Its been pretty clear to me for a while, if you identify as a conservative (or at least a non-progressive) much of corporate America and especially the corporate, oligarch, mainstream media - HATE YOU.
how does she explain black and latino and indian and and and support for trump then? Racism too?
Do these Fake News outlets just camp out at the journalism departments of our extremely over-priced universities, and hire the most bitter kooks that pass through their hallowed halls ?
This writer has serious issues with her own inner-being, and she doesn’t even begin to grasp that reality.
“...support for this president cannot be separated from the history of evangelicals’ participation in and support for racist structures in America.”
The writer is a babbling idiot.
Evangelicals support Trump because they love God, this country, and they also love babies.
Whereas Leftists hate God, this country, and certainly hate babies.
Shouldn’t be all that surprising when you consider the de facto alternative offered by the DNC leadership is outlawing and persecution of Christianity . . . the better question should be why mainline Christian denominations and Roman Catholics aren’t supporting him in equally lopsided numbers.
Sick, POS article. Can we Christians start a class action against this garbage? It definitely meets the definition of LIBEL in my book.
He’s my President, not my Pastor.
“White evangelicals love Trump and aren’t confused about why. No one should be.
Shouldn’t be just white. I think most evangelicals, no matter what color, are behind Pres. Trump because of his love for America and pro-life stance.
She may be part of the reason for lingering race problems in this country.
This associate professor of African studies presents the following as the evidence for evangelicals’ “racism”:
“white evangelicals supported the Muslim ban, are the least likely to accept refugees into the country (according to the Pew Foundation) and, though a slim majority oppose it, are the denomination most likely to support Trump’s child separation policy. “
Standard Leftist BS. “Anybody who disagrees with me is racist Nazi Hitler”.
The same kind of argument you could expect from a rancid little toddler on the playground.
This is disgusting. She needs to come to our mixed-race evangelical church. (Attending with us won’t help her, but worshipping HIM will.)
I’ve made this argument 5 million times
it’s all about the life issue
you either support life including the life of the unborn or are you support murder
murder of innocent life
and there is a very clear division between the two parties
the Democratic Party supports murdering babies even after they’re born
they’re pure evil
the republican party , wishy-washy as it is , for the most part supports the unborn and the right to life
it’s that simple
if you are a follower of Jesus Christ and you believe in eternal life love compassion and all that entails and being a believer you cannot be a supporter Of the Democratic Party
‘Shouldn’t be all that surprising when you consider the de facto alternative offered by the DNC leadership is outlawing and persecution of Christianity’
The writer is telling us we are supposed to show up and bring our own rope to the our own hanging.
Evangelicals did not vote for a Preacher In Chief.
They voted for President who would keep his promises.
And he has.
Plus the economy is roaring.
It's a dead giveaway that the reason evangelicals love President Trump will be racism when the title identifies WHITE evangelicals.
Racist article is racist.
