- **Event Description**: A conversation with Dr. Anthea Butler about her book White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America.About this EventIn this edition of Entrepreneurial Appetite's Black Book Discussions, we feature conversations with Dr. Anthea Butler,  author of  White Evangelical Racism: the Politics of Morality.About the author:Anthea Butler is a professor of religion at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Women in the Church of God in Christ: Making a Sanctified World. Butler, a leading historian and public commentator on religion and politics, has appeared on networks including CNN, BBC, and MSNBC and has published opinion pieces in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many other media outlets.About the book:Today's American political scene is poisonously divided, and the vast majority of white evangelicals play a strikingly unified, powerful role in the disunion. Moreover, these evangelicals raise a starkly consequential question for electoral politics: Why do they claim morality while supporting politicians who act immorally by most Christian measures? Anthea Butler answers that racism is at the core of conservative evangelical activism and power in this clear-eyed, hard-hitting chronicle of American religion and politics.Butler reveals how evangelical racism, propelled by the benefits of whiteness, has since the nation's founding played a provocative role in severely fracturing the electorate. During the buildup to the Civil War, white evangelicals used scripture to defend slavery and nurture the Confederacy. During Reconstruction, they used it to deny the vote to newly emancipated blacks. In the twentieth century, they sided with segregationists in avidly opposing racial equality and civil rights movements. Evangelicals recently supported the Tea Party, a Muslim ban, and border policies allowing family separation. White evangelicals today, cloaked in a vision of Christian patriarchy and nationhood, form a staunch voting bloc supporting white leadership. Evangelicalism's racial history festers, splits America, and needs a reckoning now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPP6Ga96Knk  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d4001bc0-5052-11ec-96ef-75fa0e6beff5-rimg-w720-h180-gmir.jpg
