Where does the white church, really stand?

Religion,Social Justice and politics : Where does the white church, really stand?

More and more on various Christian television stations/networks you see people of Afrikan descent interacting with whites... The white church is increasingly accepting the "soulful" sounds of Black(Afrikan) Christian music ...quite often you see diverse congregations glorifying God with a passion that once was almost limited to Black Christian churches. There seems to be a concerted effort by White Christians to reach out to Afrikans (includes Afrikan Amerikkkans) as brothers and sisters in the faith, publicly.

But, I have a few questions that need to be asked that might shed more daylight on where they really stand.

1. You hear whites speak out against racism in the church, but what is their position on Affirmative action and reparations for slavery and it's vestiges to the descendants of formerly enslaved and colonialized Afrikans ?

2. Do they see any connection in their/our past to the present condition of the Afrikan community?

3. Do they believe the U.S. should live up to treaties such as the 1948 U. N. Declaration of human rights as applied to Americans of Afrikan descent? Do they believe Afrikans in America can and should have the right to govern themselves if they chose to?

4.Do they understand that African American are still being subjected to "taxation without representation" ? ( No representation in the senate, marginalized representation in the U.S. House of Representatives)

5. Are they in favor of correcting history in the school books which has left most of us and practically all of them miseducated about the role the U.S. and Europe have played in many of the world's ills, and the fact that Afrikans do have a history which has impacted world civilization dating back thousands of years? Do they believe ancient artifacts stolen from Africa should be returned?

6. How can people who see injustice perpetrated by many of our current elected officials and, businessmen stand on the same platform with them ascerting their belief in the Creator, without questioning their actions?

7. Do they believe that war is inherently evil ...or do they accept the teachings of "An eye for an eye"

8 Do they really believe that the presidency of George Bush and the actions of others who support his or even worst policies are ordained by God?. (Understand I am not a discriminator when it comes to politics, though the media has portrayed Bill Clinton as the "Black President" , he has been silent , noncomitted or on the wrong side of issues that negatively affect our communities world wide.)

9. What do they think of the large over representation of Afrikans and hispanics as prisoners and/or school dropouts? Do they accept the continuation of current education and justice standards?

10.. Do they acknowledge that the church has in the past and still plays a role in perpetuating white supremacy?

11. Why do they insist on portraying those who lived during ancient times in what is now called the "middle east" as white? Specifically, while the Holy Bible describes Jesus as " having feet..... like burnt brass", and hair "like lamb's wool", why do they insist on portraying Christ as an anglo?

12. Finally, if they ascert that allegations raised by my questions are invalid, what is the white church/clergy willing to do to make their positions clearer and if true , what do they propose to do to change ? Do they want to change? Or are they hypocrites?

13. Do they believe the socialization that African people worldwide have been subjected to by European/Euroamerican governments, businesses, and various faiths dominated by them including the theft and control of natural and human resources and miseducation is moral?
