White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America Free Audiobook Download by Anthea Butler


This book is a compilation of the author's years of studying and writing about the racial divide in America, specifically focusing on the attitudes of white evangelicals toward African Americans. The author shows how this group of people with one of the highest positions in American society have not only maintained racist beliefs but have used them to create a worldview that justifies their racism and promotes their faith.

White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America is not a surprise at all. After all, the current president of the United States is a white evangelical who successfully campaigned on racism. Many people will say that this is just the latest chapter in American history, like slavery or segregation. This book argues that it's not just an issue of history and economics, but rather a moral issue as well.

Many white evangelical Christians have shown their tacit support for racism by voting for Donald Trump. This is because many of these voters are more focused on conservative morality and traditional values than they are on racial justice.

Anthea Butler, an African American professor at the University of Pennsylvania, explains why white evangelical Christians have been racist institutions to black people. She notes that every time they have a chance to expose and hold accountable their racist practices they try to hide them. Butler also says that many white evangelicals are not only aware of the justification of these policies but they believe it and will defend their beliefs with violence. The audiobook itself portrays a story about one woman's struggle with the denial of her racism by her own church.

"No, white evangelical Christians are not racist because they do not engage in racism. White evangelical Christians are simply racists who have chosen to hide their racism." This book explores the reasons why white evangelicals still feel justified in preaching racial superiority and racism to the American public at large, despite their professed love for Jesus Christ and "the poor."

This book is an expose of the "morality" of the white evangelical Christian movement in America. It begins by describing the history and formation of this movement, which is not new but has been manipulated by today's powerful corporate interests. Butler starts by telling us about her personal experience with racism before she launches into a detailed outline of the history and significance of white evangelicalism.
