MSNBC Guest: Christianity Brought to America to Justify Slavery & Genocide

On Thursday night’s The Reid Out on MSNBC, guest host Jonathan Capehart aired a pre-recorded interview host Joy Reid gave to Public Religion Research Institute founder and president Robert Jones who wrote a book smearing Christianity with the thesis being that the religion was brought to the Americas in the 1400s with the purpose to justify enslaving and killing Native Americans and African Americans. Of course, since Reid is a vile racist bigot, she loved this discussion.

Attempting to smear an entire religion, Jones sneered: “It’s a set of 15th-century Christian doctrines that were designed to answer the problem of what do we do with all these people we just encountered in these lands that we didn’t know about, in the 1400s. And so who do the Christian princes and queens and kings appeal to but the head of the Christian church.”
