Sean Capener (@CapenerSean) wants us to think capitalism, anti-blackness, and Christianity at the same time. In this episode, Sean interrogates what 'whiteness' and 'blackness' are, the emergence of anti-blackness and its persistence, liberalism's progress narrative, and the Church's failure to adequately acknowledge and confront its internal contradictions and tensions drawn along lines of race. Maybe Du Bois was on to something when he said, "Whiteness is the ownership of the earth forever and ever, Amen!"Check out Sean's article "Black Holes, White Dwarves" in The Bias (@SmashMammon)An article Sean mentions: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/opinion/george-floyd-anti-blackness.htmlFaith and Capital is on instagram, twitter, and facebook!Contact: faithandcapital@gmail.comMusic by Amaryah ArmstrongSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/faithandcapital)
