The Problem of Being "Non-Racist" and an Alternative - sermon by the Rev. Dr. David Bahr on Luke 14:25-33 - Homecoming Sunday, September 8, 2019 Full text available at https://davidbahr.weebly.com/blog/the... Also featured this morning and tied to the sermon – Alex Landau from the Denver Justice Project. Learn about his powerful story through a StoryCorps animation at https://storycorps.org/animation/traf.... The animation is a summary that does not include how his face was battered with a pistol handle and a flashlight, how the police involved were never charged with a wrongdoing, how the police testimony varied so widely that they couldn’t be represented by the same attorney, or how Landau’s friend, Addison, was coerced to make a statement that went along with the story the police wanted to tell. Because of a WiFi issue, the video glitches at about 14:49. Here is the missing part: “He has a problem with people who declare they are “not racist.” How many times have you heard someone say “I’m not racist?” and then list black friends and causes they gave money to in the 1960s. Or claim, “I’m the least racist person in the world.” He said even alt-right leader Richard Spencer and KKK wizard David Duke insist they are not racist. I’m not sure why they would care. So what’s the problem with being a ‘not racist’? Kendi said, it’s the neutrality. “I’m not a racist” is a term of denial. It doesn’t have any other meaning. A not-racist allows racial inequities to persevere. Doesn’t challenge them. Doesn’t try to change them. An anti-racist does. The term has a very clear meaning. An antiracist works, for example, to eliminate mass incarceration, reform the criminal justice system, bring equity to public education and health care. And provide humane treatment of families at the border escaping violence and terror. Any way that black and brown people are disproportionately negatively affected. An antiracist believes in racial equality and works toward racial equity. I thought this was a really powerful way to consider our own lives and our church’s approach to racial justice. It’s not good enough to be “not racist.” Not-racists are spectators who don’t want to miss the entertainment. We must also be anti-racist. Not anti-people but anti-racist power. Cruel and hateful policies. Therefore, what are some of the possessions we hate enough to get rid of them to move from spectator to follower of Jesus? Privilege and neutrality. Like the privilege to think it is a neutral statement to say “it’s just history.” Which also says, “The Klan wasn’t really that bad.” Which made me think that the name Stapleton will not be removed until those who claim to be “not racist” decide to be anti-racist. Then they will understand the importance of removing a symbol of racial terror. Casting out the demons of terror. But Jesus is right. To do so, they will have to first consider the cost – in friendships, in status, in power, and in their family. And then, if they cannot and we cannot pay the price, to admit it. We all have to do this. To weed out the spectators from the large crowds, Jesus told any would-be followers to recognize the cost. But importantly, we also remember the joy of discipleship. Where hatred roars, we will sing of love Where fear stalks, we will stand with courage Where bigotry rages, we will call for justice Where pain overwhelms, we will extend comfort Where systems oppress, we will work for change.”
