One of the most significant aspects of American Christianity which no one wants to talk about, much less seriously engage, is the legacy of racism, slavery, and segregation. Too often people act as though it was simply a part of American culture and politics, detached from the Christian experience; yet the truth is that defenses of racism have been integral to Christian churches for centuries. Ignoring this requires misrepresenting American Christianity itself.
