RECLAIMING ORIGINAL SIN IN THE FACE OF WHITE SUPREMACY
NASCAR’s recent decision to ban the confederate flag from their events, coupled with an increased willingness amongst policymakers to remove confederate monuments from the public square, has ignited much debate regarding what is, and is not, racist. The debate presents a question: Can honoring a socially relative symbol of family history and geographical heritage be objectively racist Many say yes. Others say no. Indeed, members of my own family can be counted amongst those proclaiming, “Heritage; not hate!” But might I suggest—to both my family and others who look like me—the time for debate, if it ever existed, is over. Indeed, now is the time for every white Christian to consider, perhaps counterfactually, not if we are racist, but rather how we are racist.

Aircraft carrier strike groups Nimitz, Reagan team up in Philippine Sea
Integrated exercises by strike groups of aircraft carriers USS Nimitz and USS Ronald Reagan are underway in the Philippine Sea, the Navy announced. "Coordinated operations in international waters" began on Sunday in the Indo-Pacific region, a Navy statement said. The USS Nimitz, with its complement of aircraft and escort ships, also paired with the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and its strike group of aircraft and accompanying destroyers and cruisers earlier this month in the Philippine Sea. With the USS Ronald Reagan nearby at the time, it was the first time since 2017 that three aircraft carriers of the U.S. Seventh Fleet were together in proximity of the contentious South China Sea. The show of force comes as China aggressively lays claim to the islands there, despite counterclaims by neighboring countries, officials said.
