Senior leaders within the Southern Baptist Convention had something to say about Donald Trump’s inability and unwillingness to condemn white supremacy.
According to The Christian Post, Southern Baptist leaders have decided to speak out against white supremacy after the leader of the country failed to do so.
“When asked to condemn white supremacy, every single one of us should be ready to do so. Racism is, sadly, not extinct, and we know from our Southern Baptist history the effects of the horrific sins of racism and hatred,” SBC President J.D. Greear said on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
“We denounce and repudiate white supremacy and every form of racial and ethnic hatred as a scheme of the devil intended to bring suffering and division to our society,” he added. “We re-affirm what Southern Baptists said to this in 2017.”
