(Christian Today) Christian singer Natalie Grant has said that she and her composer husband have lost thousands of fans after they spoke out against racism amid the George Floyd protests.
Grant spoke in an Intagram Live broadcast, saying: “Maybe you’re like me and you’ve said, ‘I’m not a racist.’ I mean, I’m not a racist. And if you are a white Christian in America, I’m going to guess you’ve probably actually said that.”
She added, “What I am learning in humility is that just because I’ve never acted, or said, or bought into a racist rhetoric, that my silence doesn’t make me not a racist, that my silence actually adds to the problem of racism.”
Grant added that she and her husband, Bernie Herms, had read the Bible verse John 15:12 prior to creating their live video.
