They seem genuine enough and not intentionally 'marxist' in their comments. I feel like I'd have to learn a little bit more about these specific people to gauge the 'marxist' slant. So much of marxism and leftism in general hinges on meaning something different than what everyone else thinks words/phrases.etc mean. (We see that with BLM itself, where BLM means something very different by 'black lives matter' than what the words themselves communicate.)

I guess I'm no good on that front.

Assuming they are sincere and in good faith and truly Christian, my concern is that they skip over a whole lot of very important territory, and somehow manage to land right where the leftists want them to. Ignored are the massive strides to defeat ACTUAL institutional racism in the 50's and 60's, there is NO recognition of the 350 thousand largely white people who DIED to free the slaves (does this count for nothing?), no apparent understanding that insofar as institutional racism continued after the 60's, it did so in the context of a concerted effort to destroy the black family, etc, etc.

The latter is particularly important to recognize, because it is just absurd to suggest that America is 'oppressive' today in anywhere close to the way it was leading up to the 1960's. Meaning, the black community is hurt today not by what others are doing to it, but what it is doing to itself--facilitated, of course, by 'well-meaning' liberals.

The implication of these essays is that the problem is conservatives who apparently need to change something at the national level [assuming that practicing white Christians tend to be conservatives] because of COURSE the solution is to impose something on 330,000,000 people... something, I don't know what exactly... reparations?

Meanwhile, generally speaking, the policies destroying the black family are ones conservatives tend to oppose, and liberals tend to support. Conservatives don't always oppose those policies because of concern about blacks, but nonetheless, it seems so strange that rural/suburban America--where conservatives are for the most part--are being called to action when the real problems occur in the big cities, where the conservatives aren't.

I hate to be political about it or dismissive of their comments, but its just hard for me to take seriously when they overlook such factors so persistently, and they want us to focus on things that 'coincidentally' are the things that Marxists and others that want to destroy America fixate on.
