The Theology of the HBCU Protests: Why Students are Rejecting 'Empire Christianity'

When the 'Fearless Debate' tour rolled onto the campus of Tennessee State University, it wasn't just a clash of politics—it was a collision of two distinct Christianities. In this episode, we investigate the recent wave of protests at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) against Christian Nationalist roadshows. What looks like a campus shout-down is actually a modern manifestation of a 400-year-old theological battle. We trace the lineage of this conflict back to the 'Invisible Institution'—the secret prayer meetings of enslaved people who rejected the 'Slaveholder’s Gospel' in favor of a God of Liberation. By analyzing the symbols, chants, and spaces involved in these recent confrontations, we reveal how Gen Z students are unknowingly reenacting the rituals of the 'Hush Harbors.' Is the 'Christian Nationalism' championed by groups like Turning Point USA compatible with the 'Prophetic Tradition' of the Black Church? Or are we witnessing a schism that defines the future of American faith? We dive into the theology of James Cone, the history of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and the sacred geography of the HBCU campus to find the answer. 📋 Contents: 00:00 The Incursion at Tennessee State 03:44 The Slaveholder's Gospel vs. The Hush Harbor 07:17 The Liturgy of Resistance #religioushistory #theology #comparativereligion #HBCU #blackchurch #christiannationalism #livedreligion #sociologyofreligion #jamescone #faithandpolitics
