Because that's all this book is it's all of the usual memes you have seen on social media by race hustlers, compiled together to provide a very brief 'history' of racism in America and the church's complicity. It's fitting that it starts off with Lecrae telling the story of a meme he posted one 4th of July. Lecrae's opening words in the Foreword and Jemar's first chapter warn you how awful this book gets. Just more evidence that many of these race hustlers don't want a conversation. Now? Not only is it gone, but the second top-rated review stands in its place and of course, it's a five-star review.

I have had quite a few people reach out to me thanking me for that review, mainly because I said what many are thinking but don't say out of fear of being called a 'racist.' And because it was the top review, it was the first review people saw. Readers can click a 'helpful' button and Amazon rates reviews by how many people click that button. Not only that, but it was also the top review of the book. That review had been up for a year and a half.

Then it hit me, 'I bet they removed my review of Jemar Tisby's book.' So I looked. At first, I was like, 'what the heck.I don't even post stuff on Amazon.' I think I may have written two reviews on their site over the years. The email did not give any details, just that I violated their community guidelines. By first asserting and proving that racism is a manmade construct, Tisby then.In July 2020, I got an email from Amazon warning about a post of mine. Though Tisby says there is no basis for this system of thought, beginning with Columbus, European Christians used the Bible to support the sovereignty of whites and the dehumanization of blacks. Importance: Through Tisby's depictions of Columbus's invasion of the Americas, he shows the ways in which early colonizers created division based on biological superiority or inferiority.

The Color of Compromise endeavors to illustrate the veracity of this quote, by tracing systemic racism from the colonies through contemporary times. Placed in the early pages of Chapter 1, this moment establishes Tisby's structural choices in all the chapter to follow. Importance: While establishing the overarching thematic interests of the text, Tisby looks to historical trends to understand the evolution and pervasiveness of racism in American society. History demonstrates that racism never goes away it just adapts.
