If we are what we eat, perhaps we should change our diet.
It may be argued there is something in the water we are all drinking, and perhaps something also in the food we are eating. Something is different. This year has unleashed changes that may prove to be revolutionary. A pandemic continues to plague the world, and in the United States, thousands have taken to the […]
Should we topple the white Jesus?
As an Artist, Arts & Religion Scholar, Christian, and Hispanic who has been vocal about racial issues, I immediately started receiving messages and comments from friends about Shaun King‘s recently tweeted argument that statues of white Jesus should be removed. Mr. King’s contention is that they are icons of white supremacy. I both agree and […]

As Occam’s Razor interprets […]
Repenting of corporate sin rather than embracing Pathological Individualism
Last night, I read an article titled, “Why I stopped talking about racial reconciliation and started talking about white supremacy.” This article talks a bit about the pathological individualism of white theology. This is something I have thought a lot about over the last few years. We, in the United States, tend to interpret everything in […]
The problem with racism today is people don’t know they are racist.
