The Christian as Imitator of Christ: How That Should Influence Treatment of the Poor and Others Based on Race

Two-and-a-half billion people worldwide profess to be Christians. These include people who espouse ideas about White Christianity, Chris­tian nationalism, Christian libertarianism, racial segregation, and racial purity. It also includes people who see assistance to the poor as handouts that perpetuate poverty. The latter group includes people who espouse ideas about accountable individualism where people are expected to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and become self-sufficient as a sign of faith in God's grace, and a perversion of crucicentrism which takes the position that it is compassionate to allow poor people to suffer because it can drive them to the cross and salvation in Christ.
