I think some of the things people are doing to protest are stupid/poorly conceived. It doesn't offend me per se that they're burning Bibles. By this, I mean that I don't have a visceral reaction to them doing it (but do think it's a really bad idea that presents poorly on the movement as a whole, will cause trouble, and is a symptom of protestors just doing whatever they feel like in a selfish way).
I do not know what motivates some of the demonstrators to burn Bibles.
For some of them, and some members of BLM and their supporters,
is there a nexus between the Bible, the word of God that constitutes the holy scripture of Christianity, and longstanding, institutionalized, Christian oppression of blacks?
I surmise there is.
Loving v. Virginia (1967)
In June 1958, two residents of Virginia, Mildred Jeter, a Negro woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, were married in the District of Columbia pursuant to its laws. Shortly after their marriage, the Lovings returned to Virginia and established their marital abode in Caroline County.
At the October Term, 1958, of the Circuit Court of Caroline County, a grand jury issued an indictment charging the Lovings with violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriages.
On January 6, 1959, the Lovings pleaded guilty to the charge and were sentenced to one year in jail; however, the trial judge suspended the sentence for a period of 25 years on the condition that the Lovings leave the State and not return to Virginia together for 25 years. He stated in an opinion that:
'Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.'
