From the moment of his announcement that he was running for the presidency Donald Trump directed his efforts towards courting white evangelicals with  racist and anti-immigrant sentiments. But he didn’t start this trend, he simply hopped on a bandwagon that had been gaining speed for years.

Author, scholar, and ordained minister Obery Hendricks and I explore some of the lesser known aspects of this issue and including the culpability of large swaths of the Black church for not responding forcefully to the ongoing assault on civil rights.

In theory the United States has separation of church and state, but do we really or are white evangelicals succeeding in shaping the country in the image they would like to see?

In this conversation we look at what has happened, what is happening, and how we can take action to prevent the U.S. from being dominated by the religious right.
