  • After Charlottesville. A Homily on Race \\u2014 LayEvangelist — The urge is to make the same recurring denunciations and put distance between ourselves and the extremists. \\u201cI would never do that.\\u201d \\u201cI don\\u2019t think that way.\\u201d \\u201cThis was a national disgrace and an outrage!\\u201d But that approach does not work anymore. Let\\u2019s look at history for a second.\\n\\nWhen African Americans from the South moved out of rural environments and into America\\u2019s cities in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, that gave birth to \\u201cWhite Flight\\u201d and the modern suburb. For 30 years the American suburb was functional segregation. The practice of Red Lining, literal red lines drawn on maps where banks wouldn\\u2019t loan money to poor minorities for housing, kept people of color on the outside, \\u201cin their place.\\u201d Then as economic barriers came down and the suburbs got a little bit more brown we witness \\u201cGentrification\\u201d, a process where wealthier people, mostly whites, are moving back into the city, creating sky-high home prices and expensive retailers price the people out of their own neighborhoods. \\u201cYeah, but we hipsters now have a new coffeeshop and a Trader Joes!\\u201d\\n\\nPsalm 85 should make us all uncomfortable but hopeful. \\u201cKindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss.\\u201d\\n\\nIn Charlottesville, kindness and truth are not meeting and justice and peace are not kissing because the hurt, the past, collided. The crooked and sinful nature of our fallen humanity constantly raises barriers to the commandment of Jesus Christ to \\u201clove your neighbor as yourself.\\u201d AS MYSELF?!\\xa0
