Quote by Katharine Gerbner

“Anglican missionaries therefore had to articulate a vision of Christianity that brought religion to enslaved men and women while at the same time placating their owners. The centered it on race rather than religion...Missionaries sought to convince planters that Christianity would not foment rebellion. Instead, it would make the enslaved docile, hardworking, and easier to manage.”

In response, Noah smiled, and raised his finger to gently tap the tip of my nose. 'And you're mine,' he said, then walked away.”

Rather, they should revise and change standards in ways that take into consideration all groups who were never considered when these standards were made. [From "Understanding the DEI Dismantlement” published on Counterpunch on January 31, 2025]”
