American Christianity Black Liberation White Legalism attempts to understand and explain the churches' passive and, in some cases, silent national attitude and behavior towards matters of privilege, discrimination, greed, and racism in and throughout the western world's history. For too long, this sin of silence has caused many good people of faith to ponder this same question while searching the Holy Scriptures for answers on salvation and deliverance. This book will attempt to seek truth in all its rawness and discomfort as I address race relations in the west from the colonization of the Caribbean to the inception of America. My goal has been to find and identify a specific character in our spiritual genome that can make some sense for the centuries of atrocities, pain, and suffering we have burdened each other with, in the name of progress, profit, and politics.
