Something strange happens whenever a certain kind of white Christian politician speaks about justice in public.
Suddenly commentators act like they’ve discovered a brand-new species: the Christian who actually sounds like Jesus.
David French wrote that James Talarico is “one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian.”
You can really only write a sentence like that if you have one kind of Christian in mind.
Because if the Black church is in your imagination, that sentence simply doesn’t make sense.
