[2026-07-10] @Spearhead_Af@twitter.com: Whenever the clear and indisputable historical nexus connecting rcism, colnialism and Christianity is pointed out, two of the most popular retorts trotted out in response are that a) The historical events in question happened too long ago to matter to modern day African people and b) Christianity in Africa predates the European presence in Africa anyway.

These 2 chestnut arguments do not account for the reality that modern theological reality is very much a direct product of its historical influences, and the type of Christian theology present across most of Africa is European colnial theology, not the Coptic or Orthodox theology that is indigenous to parts of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Egypt. This theology is still heavily influenced by, or even subject to the rcist, extractive agendas of European theologians today - many of whom retain the violently imperial, parochial ideas of their forebears.

Meet Dale Partridge, lead teaching pastor at King’s Way Reformed Church in Prescott, Arizona. A millennial born in 1985, Partridge’s message is that Africans - or “Hamites” as he calls us - are subject to a divine curse that makes us unable to maintain our societies without European col*nialism.

Partridge is far from a lone outlier in this Christian theological school of thought. His theological mentor and leader of the so-called 'reformed Christian movement" is none other than Doug Wilson, who happens to be the personal pastor of US Secretary of War and avowed white supremacists Pete Hegseth.

The Spearhead commends Partridge for the unusual and refreshing honesty and lack of doublespeak in openly owning his abominable ideology which animates US Christian nationalism. The onus is on Africans to decide whether to validate the ideologies of violent anti-black r*cists with their religious loyalty or to try something new.
