The speaker directly addresses "Christians" in the poem (7). The implication is that this refers to white Christians in particular, and that they function as the assumed audience of the poem. These white Christians are seen as likely having biases against Black people, particularly in terms of their religious life, and the speaker tries to counter these directly.
