It's Wrong to Tolerate Injustice

Proverbs 24 (The Message):

"It's wrong, very wrong,
 to go along with injustice.

Whoever whitewashes the wicked
gets a black mark in the history books.

But whoever exposes the wicked
will be thanked and rewarded.

American application:

White superiority [ethnocentrism] and white privilege [built on white economic oppression] have been whitewashed by the American church.  There has been no call for white repentance; therefore no restitution/justice.  Instead there has been 400 years of white ethnocentrism and oppression with even monuments celebrating ethnocentrism and oppression; Washington Monument [George and Martha owned 300 slaves] and the St. Louis Arch [westward expansion which destroyed not only the buffalo but also thousands of Indian peoples and much of their cultures].
