Three OT Sins: Idolatry, Immorality and Injustice

Israel was judged by God and sent into Babylonian exile for three major sins: idolatry, immorality and injustice/oppression.  In exile, Daniel, a righteous and holy person, confessed Israel's national sins as if they were his own.  Read Daniel nine.

America's national sins, past and present, are also idolatry/ethnocentrism, widespread rape of the oppressed, and massive injustice/oppression.  I have not heard any white American Daniel confess our national sins, which are many, as Daniel did.

Idolatry/ethnocentrism: white Americans/WASPs believe they were chosen by God to establish a Christian nation, that they are exceptional.  If so, they should be exceptionally holy, just.

This means that all non-whites are not chosen by God, they are not special nor equal.  And WASPs treated Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and Asian Americans as if they were inferior.  WASPs killed, murdered, stole land ruthlessly, without mercy.

With oppression, rape is often widespread.  Fannie Lou Hamer's grandmother, a slave, gave birth to 20 half-white offspring (raped at least 20 times?).  An estimated 70 percent of American blacks have some white blood flowing in their veins.

Free land (stolen from Indians and Mexicans) and free or cheap labor (slaves and Mexicans) played a huge part in America's economic productivity and wealth.  White economic privilege---the fruit of oppression.

All of white America needs to pray the Daniel 9 prayer and then do Nehemiah 5---repentance and restitution.

To summarize the negative side of American history:

1.  Mass murder/genocide
2.  Mass rape of people and land
3.  Mass theft of land and labor
4.  Mass white ethnocentrism and white oppression; not just a few rotten apples.
5.  All of the above demonic activity was necessary to establish a Christian nation.

P.S.  Today we would need to add mass incarceration and mass armament.

Tragic conclusion:  After hundreds of years of American history, there is still no mass repentance and restitution by the American church for its mass silence or participation in white superiority and white economic privilege.
