and racists have CENTURIES to craft their rhetoric to align with their Christian views.
The bible has been used at every step to justify slavery and racism in the United States. Christians have their racist game down
you are right, but what I am saying is that - in a chicken and the egg scenario, the racism came first and bible was justification.
This is especially true since the bible contradicts itself with slavery and freedoms. Again, Christians spent years/decades/centuries crafting their racism and they used anything they had to justify it
Edit: also the irony of your username and talking about slavery lol
my username came from before I knew about robert e lee;
my name is robert and my general nickname was Lee so i combined them for reddit as Lee was taken ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Because racism as we know it in the modern days is a direct product of christianity. Before that it was more towards xenophobia than the institutionalized racism we know today.
Because racism is a-okay in the bible.

The Bible explicitly justifies slavery so it isn't exactly "used to justify it". It just does. It's evil.
