‘The job I try to accomplish in my writings is to try to get people to embrace the hopelessness and realize we have nothing to lose,’ Professor Miguel De La Torre said
Carlow University recently hosted an event on “Rejecting White Christianity” that featured a speaker who argued white people should “crucify their whiteness,” called for the embrace of “hopelessness,” and urged people to “ethically lie” to make right for past wrongs.
The speech prompted a Catholic watchdog group to protest the event as antithetical to the Pittsburgh-based private Catholic university’s identity.
The March 3 event was sponsored by Carlow’s Atkins Center for Ethics and featured Miguel De La Torre, professor of social ethics and Latinx studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado.
De La Torre began his presentation by lambasting evangelicals who voted for Donald Trump, according to a video of the speech.
“When eight out of ten white evangelicals voted for a person who is completely against everything Christianity stands for, I don’t know what Christianity they are practicing,” he said. “But I want nothing to do with that Christianity.”
He then distinguished “white theology and ethics” from “Latinx ethics” and noted that the term white does not refer to skin pigmentation but is an “ontological concept.”
“Those of us who are colored, some of us can also be white. But the good news is there is salvation,” he said. Later, he explained that this salvation means “we [who are colored] have to crucify our colonized minds, and for our white brothers and sisters, they need to crucify their whiteness.”

How about if I do that a week from Friday? Can I keep it eternally in glory if it comes back by Sunday?
Kind of surprised he didn’t outright call for White people to just commit suicide. But then asking you to “crucify your whiteness” and “embrace hopelessness” is basically the same idea.
Why don’t I don’t recall any nuns teaching me this nonsense in elementary school?
Lying is a tool of the devil, the father of lies. You cannot serve God by using the devil’s tools.
I don’t think Obama, Xiden or the Clintons are Christian, nor do I believe you can be a Christian and vote for the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow and the KKK.
You got that right.
Absolutely 100% that anybody who believes with full authority in the party platform values of the Democrat Party is not a Christian.
And attempting to justify those values will send them deeper to hell.
They all have a depraved mind of Romans 1.
Is this guy the illustration for Cray-Kray in the dictionary?
That must be an example of the lying he is recommending.
End of discussion.
No words to describe my anger.
well said.
Actually after having hit “submit” I regretted having not said “I fully expect my Creator to judge me not by the color of my skin but by the content of my character...and soul”.
Let him say that to all the white dems ,starting with Biden
I’m not surprised that someone who is professor of social ethics and Latinx studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado would take this position. I am surprised that he is a Southern Baptist minister.
What’s with the level of crazy coming out of Catholicism these days?
The catholic church deserves all the abuse it’s getting and more. What a pathetic, gutless, groveling, self-loathing institution it has become!
“I demand to be judged not by the color of my skin but by the content of my character.”
How are you going to enforce your demand, especially alone?
You can demand whatever you want, they’ll judge you by the color of your skin because it’s one of their best weapons.
The longer whites wait to defend their identity and fail to recognize the common interest of their group, the way blacks, Asians and Latinos do for theirs, the more they’ll keep stomping on us.
Whites have contributed 90% of what we call civilization, and we should be rightly proud of that.
We need to unite and organize to defend our group’s common interests and not be a bunch of inept armies of one.
Sounds like a MARXIST, anti-white “liberation theology” fool.
