They discuss the roots of white racism in the fields of history, education, and Christianity. Tracing racist patterns in Christianity, Rev.

He feels that Apos tle Paul was an “Uncle Tom Black Jew” who contributed to "destroying the basic African background of Christianity.” Professor Clarke points out that a root of white racism, which also served as a basis for the slave trade and colonialism, was the Papal Bull of 1455 au thorizing the servitude of all in fidel people, most of whom were non-white and non-European.
