Imagined Scars impact people’s impressions of themselves

Anybody here know who Jack Van Impe is? He’s a now-elderly TV evangelist whose shtick involves reading the daily papers and concocting reasons why the headlines vindicate his interpretation of Biblical End Times prophecy. Jack and his wife, the lovely Rexella, can find a sign of the coming Apocalypse in the most ordinary events. They’ve made a lucrative career on it, and on exploiting the anxieties of their followers. In this sense, Ta-Nehisi Coates has become the Jack Van Impe of woke liberals. Everything that happens just goes to show that white racism explains the world. A certain kind of person eats that stuff up.

    Yeah, I can easily see that Coates is a preacher. I can easily see that using the oppression narrative makes Coates a bishop in the new religion. But if you completely deconstruct this new “Racism” religion, do you have a new religion to replace it with? Hm?
