The latest from #FredClark (a.k.a., #Slacktivist) over at #Patheos.

Quote(s):
"A school principal and her husband, an electrical engineer, bought a house in the suburbs. That should be unremarkable and boring. It shouldn’t be a pioneering moment in #BlackHistory or a courageous milestone.

But their purchase of that home was greeted by a mass freakout of white people who vandalized their property and engaged in harassment and mob violence for weeks."

More from #FredClark, a.k.a. #Slacktivist (this one dates from 2021):

Quote(s):
"George Marsden, contending with the difficulty of defining a perpetually contended category like 'evangelical,' once joked that an #Evangelical is anyone who likes Billy Graham. In the current usage, [...] #ProgressiveChristian refers to anyone who does *not* like Franklin Graham."
