"We need to talk about race," Phil Vischer says in a video posted June 14 on YouTube. The evangelical creator of VeggieTales, a children's show that tells Bible stories using animated vegetables with names like Junior Asparagus and Pa Grape, tells viewers in his 17-minute video that Black households have one-tenth the wealth as white ones and delves into the history of Jim Crow laws, the "war on drugs" and "militarized police."
He talks about a TV news media that scares Americans with images of Black criminals and teachers who favor white kids due to their "unconscious bias."
Call Vischer the tip of the spear of what critics call a "woke" Christian movement whose members have not only embraced the language of the left but also its chief goal of defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
They'll do so, some say, if they can convince as little as 2 percent of the evangelicals who voted for Trump in 2016 to vote for Joe Biden in November. After all, he won in swing state Pennsylvania, for example, by just 44,000 votes, courtesy of white evangelicals...

Newsweak -overpriced at a dollar.
um- no they are not...there have always been a % of christians/Catholics/Evangelicals/etc that have been “woke.”...no one is looking to biden and the rats as the answer expect soros funded groups..
Just goats separating themselves from the sheep ahead of time.
Nonetheless..there are idiots that are falling for the “woke” crap...younger people and suburban housewives that voted for Trump.
I don’t think there is a tremendous amount.
But he won a number of states by not all that many votes.
And I see white folks apologizing on social media left and right...even so called republicans.
Apologizing for what?
I dunno
That rag has been worthless for decades. I very surprised it is still around. Just like Architectural Digest....
“Just goats separating themselves from the sheep ahead of time”
Yes. I am surprised at just whom, in my circle of acquaintances, the goats are turning out to be.
I always thought it strange the people took theological advice from goofy vegetables. My kids hated the mindlessness and lack of gravitas
“Woke Christians” huh.
All 5 of them?
“Woke Christians” belong in the Church of the Bad Shepherd.
Evangelical Christian and Democrat should not ever be used in the same sentence.
Do they actually think that it will be better under Biden? Talk about a disconnect from reality.
For there to be a war sides must be chosen.
The company that I work for has, for all intents and purposes, joined Team Biden. Daily emails and Zoom meetings are all focused on Race and Evil White America.
It’s a full-court press.
Trump’s record-low unemployment means panic to these Marxists.
The only whites who SHOULD be apologizing for systemic racism are the democrat whites. They’re the ones who tore apart the black families. They’re the ones who created the black ghettos, by paying young unwed black girls to have babies, thereby creating a permanent underclass. The dems are the ones who profit (and I do mean profit) from having people need the government to survive - they create the dependent class and the ensuing myriad of problems that go along with that.
Right? My wife had to throw out her beloved (and expensive) Beth Moore bible studies. Smh
Biden is running non-stop bullshit ads here in Florida. One is a convincing pro Christian ad. Another promises to give families with children a $7,000 tax credit, new home owners a $15,000 tax credit and seniors a $1,300 increase. I kid you not. It’s nauseating.
And another thing.....
Hey dp. How are ya?
The “evangelicals” have always been the same old Lefty crowd pretending to be Christians. Jim Wallis, et al. They are all condemned to Hell.
Actually, in my observation of friends who are evangelicals, several white women I know are definitely buying into this systemic racism viewpoint. This election will be closer than 2016, in my opinion.
