"We would be appalled if a church leader or theologian suggested black, Hispanic or Asian people have equal value but have an ontological need to be lead by, decided for and directed by white people."

We will be appalled today, anyway. When I was a child, church leaders actually taught this routinely with respect to Black people. I heard it with my own ears coming from not just one but several pulpits.

The conservative Church in the United States had to come to grips with that and reject those teachings. You might have thought that would have made it easier for them to reject other dominance teachings. It didn't.
