Theological Journal – June 10 Race
Can we simply do away with the concept of “race”?
Craig Keen says no. Such easy dismissal of “race,” he claims,
“‘race’ is
in fact an invention, one made by people who were self-consciously superior to
those they had for some time controlled by violent, colonial, means. But so
much damage has been done by it and it has entered so deeply into the way we
think and act that to pretend to be in a position to brush it casually away is
to leave it in place. It will not yield so easily. (Christians) . . . everywhere
are to denounce ‘whiteness,’ but that is different than pretending that it
isn't there.”
As Jesus
said of the demonic, this kind comes out only with prayer and fasting!
