Sexual misconduct as racism

Many right wing and Republican motivated Christians are conflicted about the sin of sexual misconduct. Apparently, in the minds of the self righteous, it isn't necessarily a sin when a white polemicist is engaged in sexual sins, like stalking underage girls in shopping malls. Yet, in recent southern racism history, a Black man risked being lynched by vigilantes or the Ku Klux Klan, for even looking at a Caucasian woman.

Roy Moore is accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women 

Now, Christians are wrongly defending Roy Moore's sexual misconduct because he is "one of them". They've put morality aside and claim that electing him to the US Senate, to represent Alabama, will support the Republican's agenda.  

As a matter of fact, the Republicans' political agenda is "anti-Christian". It's not Christian to do harm to immigrants, to deport children who are protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or block health care for children by refusing to vote to re-authorize the CHIPS. (Medicaid and CHIP offered free or low-cost health insurance for kids and teens. Children could access regular check-ups, immunizations, doctor and dentist visits, hospital care, mental health services, prescriptions and more.)

Nevertheless, right wing Christians and Kay Ivey, the Governor of Alabama, continue to support Roy Moore during his relentless campaign to be a US Senator. 

The New York Times reports:
Roy Moore Is Mired in a Sexual Misconduct Scandal. Here’s How It Happened.

That Roy S. Moore, the Republican candidate for Senate in Alabama, would cruise to victory seemed almost a foregone conclusion. Now, after a series of women have come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct, very little is certain in a race that could have major implications for the party’s ability to govern in Washington.

Yet, Senate Republicans have distanced themselves from Mr. Moore, a former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, and they are openly discussing the prospect of expelling him from the chamber if he wins the election. Democrats, for their part, are contemplating the near impossible: flipping a seat in a deeply red state that last elected a Democratic senator in 1990.

As voters prepare for the Dec. 12 Alabama special election — in which Mr. Moore will be on the ballot come what may — here is a breakdown of The Times’s coverage on the race since the accusations emerged.

What are the allegations?

The Washington Post reported that four women said Mr. Moore had pursued them sexually or romantically when they were 18 or younger and he was in his 30s, and one of them said that he touched her sexually when she was 14, below the age of consent.

Mr. Moore, 70, remains defiant, trying to discredit the accusers while denying the most serious charges against him and insisting that the women are part of a conspiracy to stop him from putting God at the center of American politics. Moreover, he refused to answer questions about the allegations.

Alabama G.O.P. Says It Stands Behind Roy Moore NOV. 16, 2017

In my opinion, the root of this Alabama political debate about a man who is clearly unqualified to be a US Senator is the obvious situation of his white race. For some reason, the media won't report about what is obvious. There's no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Roy Moore would already be in jail if he happened to be a Black man.  

Voting against Roy Moore is the best way for Alabamians to oppose the state's racist past and demonstrate a truly Christian response to the December 12 election.
