New York Times bestselling devotional implores God to 'help me to hate white people'

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

A seminary professor in Georgia is featured in a book of prayers asking God to help her "hate white people".

The book, A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal, features a prayer from Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Mercer University associate professor of practical theology, that begins with "Dear God, Please help me to hate White people".

"Or at least to want to hate them", the prayer continues. "At least, I want to stop caring about them, individually and collectively".

Walker-Barnes explained that she has no desire to hate openly racist white people and "strident segregationists" because they are "already in hell", but instead, she wants to hate "the nice ones".

Specifically, Walker-Barnes said she wants to hate the "Fox News-loving, Trump-supporting voters who 'don't see color' but who make thinly veiled racist comments about 'those people'".

"Lord, if you can't make me hate them, at least spare me from their perennial gaslighting, whitemansplaining, and White woman tears", the prayer says. "Lord, if it be your will, harden my heart. Stop me from striving to see the best in people. Stop me from being hopeful that White people can do and be better. Let me imagine them instead as white-hooded robes standing in front of burning crosses".
