White Christian Mom Removes Post About Daughter Dating Inter-Racially (VIDEO)

After receiving pushback, a white Christian mother removed her blog post discussing her daughter’s interracial marriage with a Black man. The parent, Gaye Clark, published a blog post called “When God Sends Your White Daughter a Black Husband,” where she displayed her views for the world to see. She narrated the process of her finally accepting the interracial union between her white daughter and her African-American husband, Glenn.

Even though Clark describes herself as someone who is open-minded, she was still subjected to ridicule. In her now defunct blog post, Clark wrote an 8 step guide for other Christian parents who may be struggling with the thought of their children dating someone of a different race. She attempted to positively influence other Christians who may be ignorant of interracial marriages, pushing them to also be open-minded. Some of the tips include being patient with family members who may not understand, and to foster open dialogue with the groom’s family.

There Has Always Been A Relationship Between Christianity and Racial Rhetoric

Manipulation based on religion has laid the foundation for not only racism, but slavery in America. Religion, specifically Christianity, first used hereditary heathenism to deny Black and Native Americans basic rights in the name of Christianity. This contributed to the unique structure of chattel slavery, where slave owners cited the Bible to justify the bondage of people. Ephesians 6:5 called for slaves to obey earthly masters, and Titus 2:9 demanded that slaves be submissive to their masters.

Even though chattel slavery has ended and racist dating is a social faux pas,  that type of thinking still quietly exists in certain households, apparently.

Clark Received Backlash from All Sides

Even though Clark’s blog post had good intentions, it received backlash from all sides. Many people called out her ignorance when it comes to race relations. Interestingly enough, Clark and her family also received backlash from white supremacist groups who felt that the separation of races was justified, with hate groups leaving offensive comments on the hosting website, The Gospel Coalition.

The blog post was only live for two days before Clark removed it. In response, Clark said that she would “covet prayers.”
