President Joe Biden said in a speech that “White supremacy ... is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland.” Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate Chuck Shumer wrote on his X account “The definition of white nationalism is not a matter of opinion ... it is racist down to its rotten core.” Dr. Michael Emerson, a national expert on race, told a denominational gathering of the Evangelical Covenant Church in a presentation that, “Two thirds of white practicing Christians are not followers of Christianity. They are followers of the religion of whiteness.”
