This tweet from Veggie Tale creator Phil Vischer is wise and powerful.
Eric, I love you, but your own book talks about Bonhoeffer's deep concern for the plight of blacks in America. I'm pretty sure if he showed up right now he'd be talking about more than just abortion and the "evil left." https://t.co/oBM7wDbOd8

Eric Metaxas is a shadow of his former self and his friends know it.
Metaxas answers with a simplication of history and current events and Vischer brings reality to the table.
So… Bonhoeffer would show up, notice that the average black family still has 1/10th the wealth of the ave white family, poor access to education and healthcare, and a black boy has a 1 in 4 chance of being incarcerated, and say, "Good – they solved the black problem."

Abortion rates have been declining steadily for 30 years, while white/black inequity has remained steady for nearly 70. Are you sure we're focusing on the right things?

Metaxas tries to lower the boom but Vischer again brings the facts.
"Both and," friend. Roe didn't make abortion legal, it made it illegal for states to make it illegal. It was legal in some states pre-Roe, and would continue being legal in some states post-Roe. We can continue reducing the abortion rate while also reducing inequity.

Reversing Roe v. Wade will not eliminate abortion. It will remain legal in many states. Don’t use abortion politics as an excuse to avoid action on racism.
In my opinion, it is Vischer for the win in the Bonhoeffer match up.
