Ok, but that's not what you said. You objected, without qualification, to the notion that large mainstream christian denominations supported white supremacy. IIRC, you said such talk was "picking and choosing".
Now, if the new location of your goalposts is their true permanent home, I'm happy to report that we agree with each other!
I think we were objecting to different things. I broadly agree that large mainstream denominations supported slavery. I just pointed out that many equally large denominations did not. If we're talking about Christianity as a whole, it's a mixed bag. There's no reason the SBC should be singled out.
