Explain to me how you come to the conclusion that marginalized people directly descended from slaves following a book that explicitly endorses slavery/racism is not hypocrisy.
I'm not saying this is not hypocrisy, I'm saying it's no more hypocritical than anyone else doing so. Any suggestion of such is, as I already stated, subtly racist at best.

The practice of slave ownership as commanded by the bible is inherently hypocritical as well as immoral. They claimed virtue and righteousness in their preaching, but turned a blind eye to the people they brutalized and subjugated and raped and murdered. It's also hypocritical to follow these teachings today while claiming to have any kind of morals at all.
