Prioritizing Race and White Supremacy

“We White Christians no longer represent the majority of Americans,” writes Robert P. Jones, a White Christian. “We are no longer capable of setting the nation’s course by sheer cultural and political dominance. But there are more than enough of us to decisively derail the future of democracy in America.” That’s from Jones’ new book, “The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy,” an exploration of the historical foundations of White supremacy in the United States. The book is wide-ranging, incisive and, ultimately, a call to action – from someone steeped in the same culture and mores he examines. The fault lines Jones examines affect every facet of American life: individuals, families, communities, politics, the economy and institutions ranging from courts to corporations. Jones is a widely published and award-winning writer, a well-regarded pollster and president and founder of the Public Religious Research Institute.
