Kelbie Murphy, a senior at the University of North Georgia, shared a video on social media exposing a textbook assigned in one of her courses that labels Christianity as a ‘U.S.-based white supremacist group.‘
Murphy shared in the video, “I’m in International Public Relations. I was told to reach chapter eight this week of ‘International Public Relations: Negotiating Culture, Identity and Power.’ I just opened it to chapter eight about five minutes ago, and I have been sitting here in awe.”
“Chapter eight is titled, ‘Contested Identities, Shifting Publics in a Globalized World.’”
“I’m going to read you what I just read, and where I stopped. I think it’s the second sentence, maybe the third?”
“Identity may be one of the most contentious words of the new millennium. An Internet search produces the following modifiers
for identity: corporate, sexual, digital, public, racial, national, brand, and even Christian (a U.S.-based white supremacist group). The same search finds identity used as a modifier for theft, management, and theory.”
“I’m pissed.”

Murphy followed up with her original post and shared the specific text after accusations that she was taking the quote out of context.

Murphy spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital and noted, “The way it was worded, it listed several marginalized groups, but then only called Christians to be White supremacists. But the scariest thing is that the book was written in 2007.”

“This has been shared for almost 20 years, and it was never questioned,” Murphy added. “I think American academia needs a definite reevaluation, especially in our textbooks, as we can see from my prime example.”

“I don’t want people who don’t know who Jesus is or who don’t know what Christianity is to take this and run with this and see Christians as a U.S.-based White supremacist group.”

Murphy did note that her professor and a school official reached out to her after the viral video, offering their apologies for being offended.
In September, when Murphy’s post went viral, the university issued a statement saying, “Recently, questions have been raised about a passage in a course textbook.”
“After fully reviewing the concern, we want to be clear: the reference in question was not describing Christians or Christianity. The passage refers to an extremist group that misuses Christian symbols to promote hate.”
