🚨Get "The Color of Compromise" for just $2.99
Read the book that gets far-right Christians so perturbed. :-)
Recently Professor Julie Moore of Taylor University reached out to me about her story. Her contract at the school was not renewed because the provost accused her of using her composition class on the theme of racial justice to indoctrinate students with leftist ideas.
When Professor Moore pressed the provost for evidence that what she was teaching was wrong, he said…
“Jemar Tisby is the main focus.”
Professor had used a single quote of mine in the narrative portion of her syllabus that helps frame the course. She didn’t even assign my book as one of their readings.
Here is the offending quote from the first chapter of The Color of Compromise.
The refusal to act in the midst of injustice is itself an injustice. Indifference to oppression perpetuates oppression.
History and scripture teach us that there can be no reconciliation without repentance. There can be no repentance without confession. And there can be no confession without truth.
What is so offensive about those statements escapes me. Perhaps it is simply guilt by association. I—a known racial discontent and obvious Marxist/Communist/Woke™ provocateur—wrote it, so it must be wrong.
You can see for yourself what all the fuss is about. For a limited-time only, the Kindle e-book of The Color of Compromise is on sale for just $2.99. Get it for yourself and share the info with someone else!
P.S. If you’d like to order the book from Bookshop, use this LINK.
The provost who objected to that quotation must have a lot shorter Bible than mine. He would have had to rip out a LOT of passages teaching just what you said so that his Bible didn't offend him!
Hi Jemar,
I hope what I say will not upset you but the more I think about America today, looking back, I am 74 so I have a lot to look back on. I can now see how divided racially we were. But at the same time I don't think politics are as much the problem of racism, gun violence and educational disparity and all the other perversions going on today.
"What is the answer to finding the main perpetrator?" is the question.
As a child, I remember Russia telling America they would destroy America from within. I also think other countries like Afghanistan, China want to destroy Democracy from within today also. Are not England and other countries trying to put forth One World power through Artificial Intelligence, get rid of paper money with every transaction to become digital? That truly would be the end of freedom for all but a few.
We have bad politicians, corrupted parties, conspiracy Theorist and Christian Nationalism all across America. Abortion, sexual perversion is being accepted with great flourish. False preachers claiming to be Christian but only want your money and are all in to create the abandonment of faithful Christian churches.
I do truly believe God is in charge of this world and He knows what our future will be. The Old Testament should be our guide to search for His Peace. He told Israel if they would remain faithful to Him they would be blessed and His wrath would be upon the Nation if they continued in their own counsel. They chose god's wrath. Will we be the same?
Could it be the crux of the thrust of all our national dilemmas are being perpetuated by the countries that hate Democracy. Could it be people are being targeted, seduced and indoctrinated either by their stupidity or avarice to turn on our country to truly destroy us from within. Could this be a possibility or is this a portion of God's punishment on THIS nation Because He provided a way out of sin - Christ's redeeming grace, and we are rejecting it?
God has always called the church, the Body of Christ, to remain faithful to the Gospel of Christ known as the Prince of Peace. Are we not in the same position today as Israel was 2000 years ago? We can argue politics; kill each other over the right to carry a gun or not; kill our babies; be sexually perverted, suppress Black, Mexican or Asian people, purport White Supremacy. We can argue till the world ends about these temporary things. Or we can trust that God in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit is the only way a person's heart can be changed toward holiness and peace so we can let go of our fears? I thank God Christianity is nothing like politics where there is no redemption.
Personally, I could not find salvation in Christ until I saw the rotten blackness or my own heart. Democracy cannot look at the deep darkness that is in each heart only the Light of God can dispell it. Laws cannot change hate to love but God can.
What a wonderful position God has placed you. He has given you all the powers of mind to write and speak eloquently to the terrors of brutality that come from the black hearts of Godless people against racism on every level. He has also given to you ability to write and speak the truth of God 's word that you have studied and know.
What you have uncovered of the hidden things of Slavery buried so long need to be told. We need to see past sins before they can be vanquished. You also can use your platform to bring to Christians the remembrance of their allegiances made to proclaim the Gospel of Christ that brings remission from sin to new life of peace. Political debate and the making of laws will never change a person's heart only the peace of Christ that passes all understanding.
Thank you for your time. My prayers are with you as you stand in the front line of decency.
