At what point do white evangelicals and their sycophantic Black Christians allies finally draw the line?

Thirty-thousand documented lies
A deadly insurrection
Defending white supremacists
Boasting about sexual assault
Serial adultery and hush-money to p**n stars
Adjudicated as a ra**st
34 felony convictions
Dozens of women accusing him of r**e
Credible accusations of sexually assaulting children

What is too far?
Where does righteous indignation kick in?
When do Christian values matter?
When does loyalty to Jesus outweigh loyalty to MAGA?

Amerikkan Justice in Black and White

Amber Guyger, a Dallas police officer, murdered Botham Jean, a 26-year-old unarmed accountant after walking into his apartment, thinking it was hers. She was convicted and sentenced to TEN YEARS.

Jason Van D**e, a Chicago police officer, murdered Laquan McDonald by shooting him 16 times in the back as he walked away. He was convicted and sentenced to SIX YEARS AND NINE MONTHS. He served three years and was released. 

Shaun Lucas, a Wolfe City, TX police officer, was charged with murdering Jonathan Price, who was unarmed. He shot him four times outside a convenience store. HE WAS ACQUITTED BY AN ALL WHITE JURY.

Karmelo Anthony killed Austin Metcalf in self-defense after fearing for his safety in a chaotic, escalating confrontation. He was convicted and sentenced to THIRTY-FIVE YEARS.

Take a look and tell me what you notice. 

Notice how nobody mentioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. until I challenged the absurd claim that Charlie Kirk was somehow doing “the work of Jesus.”

That’s when the racist revisionism started.

Charlie Kirk built a career trafficking in anti-Black stereotypes, white grievance politics, attacks on diversity, and rhetoric designed to make white people comfortable blaming Black people for America’s problems. Dr. King spent his life confronting racism, segregation, economic injustice, and the very systems that Kirk spent years excusing or inflaming. The two men are not remotely comparable.

One preached that America must confront its racism. The other profited from telling people racism is largely imaginary unless white people claim to be its victims.

And because that comparison collapses under the weight of facts, King’s critics resort to lies.

They lie about his assassination. They lie about his ministry. They lie about his theology. They lie about his character.

Dr. King was assassinated in broad daylight on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, surrounded by friends and colleagues. That is not a matter of opinion; it is historical fact. Yet sixty years later, racists still recycle myths and conspiracy theories because they cannot defeat his legacy honestly.

The theological accusations are just as dishonest. Dr. King was a Christian minister who preached Jesus Christ, pastored a church, led a movement grounded in faith, and repeatedly testified to the lordship of Christ. You don’t have to agree with every aspect of his theology to recognize that inventing lies about him decades after his death is nothing more than character assassination.

What fascinates me is the pattern. White conservatives routinely canonize white men while demonizing Black men. They will bend over backward to defend the flaws, failures, and sins of white political figures, but reserve their harshest condemnation for Black leaders who challenged racism, segregation, and white supremacy.

Dr. King’s legacy survived Bull Connor, J. Edgar Hoover, segregationists, and the Klan. It will survive anonymous internet racists and revisionist historians too. Charlie Kirk spent his career making white conservatives feel comfortable. Dr. King sacrificed his life making America uncomfortable with its racism.

History will always remember which one expanded justice and which one benefited from the backlash against it. And no amount of racist revisionism will change that.

Dr. King is remembered around the world as a freedom fighter. Bigots like Charlie Kirk, who hated him and disparaged his name will be remembered for their racism. History has already rendered its verdict.
