that s a passage that has been used historically in america to enforce and justify slavery. so as a person of color, i have a great problem with that use of it. but also it speaks of the fact that we have an ethos in the white house that attempts to look at america through a biblical lens. but what s really happening is they re looking at the bible through a very specific american lens. and that is transforming our whole christian witness into something other than what it was meant to be. are those who call themselves christians and elite within the trump administration cherry-picking certain versus from the bible? because i had representative jackie speier on earlier from northern california and she talked about having gone to church just today and there was a certain message from the book of leviticus which talks about when aliens are amongst us and they come into your community we are supposed to treat them with a grace and kind nature.
