A week after Lecrae released ‘Church Clothes 3,’ the internet is buzzing about a powerful interview Crae did with major media outlet CNN. The Reach Records general spoke about his involvement in the Black Lives Matter protests, what a Christian is, and Christian stereotypes expressed in political conversations.
Below are some quotes from CNN.com.
“A Christian is noun. A Christian is a person. I function, I live life as a Christian and me living life as a Christian doesn’t mean I’m a sanitized person,” Lecrae told CNN. “It means that I readily admit I’m a jacked up person and I need a savior.”
“For a lot of people, groups, Christians included, issues are homogenized and so to be a Christian I’m either this staunch conservative Republican or I’m this tree hugging liberal,” Lecrae said. “You’re stereotyped. It’s almost assumed that people know what your issues are going to be.”
“It’s unfortunate that myself, as a black man, cannot care about the issues that impact the black community without being seen as a race-baiter or without being seen as someone who doesn’t care about any other ethnic groups,” Crae said.
