For centuries, the American church has been a paradoxical institution, professing faith in a loving God while perpetuating racial injustice. In "The Truth About The American Church Complicity In Racism," historian Dr. James Washington meticulously exposes the deep-seated and systemic biases that have woven their way into the very fabric of the church.

Through rigorous research and compelling narratives, Washington takes readers on a journey from the colonial era to the present day, revealing how the church has been both a tool of oppression and a bastion of resistance. He unveils how white supremacy has infiltrated church doctrine, liturgy, and leadership structures, shaping the experiences of African Americans and other marginalized communities.

The Seeds of Injustice

Washington traces the roots of racism in the church back to the transatlantic slave trade, when Christian slaveholders used biblical passages to justify their inhumane treatment of Africans. This distorted theology laid the groundwork for segregation and discrimination that would permeate the church for generations to come.

During the Jim Crow era, southern churches played a pivotal role in enforcing racial segregation, denying African Americans basic rights and opportunities. White ministers turned a blind eye to lynchings and other acts of violence against Black people, while Black churches became sanctuaries of hope and resistance.

The Struggle for Justice

Despite the church's complicity in racism, there have been courageous individuals and movements who have challenged these injustices. Washington highlights the role of Black leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks, who risked their lives to fight for racial equality.

The Civil Rights Movement brought the issue of racism in the church to the forefront, but progress has been slow and uneven. This book calls upon contemporary Christians to continue the struggle for justice, both within and outside the church.

A Call to Awaken and Challenge
