Descendent of Robert E Lee Resigns from His Church for Denouncing White Supremacy

[Cleopatra7]

If you needed any more evidence that most white people are more offended by talking about racism than racism itself, look no further than this:

This is why I don't have much hope about the future of race relations in this country, because too many people refuse to see the depths of white supremacy. That Lee's parishioners are more offended by his support for Heather Heyerdahl and BLM than Nazis marching through the streets speaks volumes about their allegiances and priorities.

Ugh, yeah, the whole "being called a racist is actually worse than experiencing racism" bullshit.  No words.

A better christian than any of the TT's Faith Council. 

A brave man, willing to stand up for what he believes is right in the context of his faith. I hope he finds a more truly christian congregation soon.
