This statement is racist.
I’m not racist. I hate everyone equally.
Not only that, but it’s racist to think you’re not a racist. And should you attempt to justify your thinking along those lines, by, for example, talking about your black friends and associates, you have white guilt about being a racist. Even if you’re not white, you can have white guilt. With today’s technology, it’s actually easier to transmute your genitals rather than to scour your being of racism.
I’ve seen how our brains have a tendency to automatically associate our own race with good and other races with bad, whoever we are....
I’m so sick of this.
The author is chock full of stereotypical characterizations... or something.
“I’m a racist, he’s a racist, she’s a racist, we’re all racist, wouldn’t you like to be a racist too...”
I am NOT racist!
But, if this racist crap keeps up, I might become one!
Don't tell me I missed it.
Mona.. you ignorant slut..
gosh I wish the gate keepers were ANY color than white
Identity politics is for morons.
She is actually close to something.
Yes, everyone is racist, as she defines racism.
And if *everyone* is racist, it does not matter, because we cannot escape it.
If you are not willing to fit into Western civilization, and meet the requirements, which are broad, wide open, and welcoming, compared to all others.
Too Bad.
Bammy rejects his mulatto self and all the White Privilege he had growing up with his jomama and Grammar.
Being aware of race does not equal racism. We are all aware of gender, but that doesn’t mean we are all sexist.
And to translate, ‘i am bad but you are badder so only you have to stop being bad. I do not.’
This is liberal logic.
JoMa
This entire premise should be rejected outright and whomever spouts this race baiting nonsense should be told to go to hell where they belong.
Of course our own race affects how we view the world but that doesn’t make anyone a racist or privileged; it’s just a fact of life.
Different cases.
Why drag that up now?
I’m a grinner
I’m a lover
And I’m a sinner
The great thing about racial, ethnic, and nationality differences is that a loving God is in control of these things. He is our Creator and the one who determines where and when each of us is brought into this world.
Those who have been privileged to be born into the United States should be very grateful for our freedoms and opportunities to prosper. A large percentage of the world, still to this day, does not enjoy these freedoms and opportunities, and would give anything to be here.
Black Americans should thank God for letting them be descendants of slaves which led to them being born here rather than Africa where slavery still exists. They should be grateful for not being born into a Muslim home in a Muslim nation where freedom of religion does not exist. Same with China, North Korea, and many places in the world.
God let His chosen people, Israel, be enslaved so that He could accomplish His own will and purposes. He let His servant Joseph be sold by his brothers into slavery, let him go to prison based on false accusations and for doing the right thing, and he was forgotten there in prison. But God then transformed these circumstances to raise Joseph up to be one of the most powerful rulers on earth. He used Joseph to rescue his own family from famine, along with many others. And most of all, God’s name was glorified because of what He did through Joseph’s faith and obedience.
A large percentage of “blacks” in the US are descendants of slaves AND slave owners. Should they be bitter at their own foreparents? Some blacks—men like Obama—are not descendants of slaves but of slave traders. Are these men who deserve special sympathy because of slavery? Is skin color the sole determination of guilt and innocence? How about the majority of whites who never owned slaves? How about whites who were slaves themselves? How about whites who were poor sharecroppers, struggling just like everyone else to survive? How about whites who died fighting to free slaves? How about the fatherless children of these men?
Lies are keeping black people trapped in a different kind of slavery today. Jesus taught that the truth will set you free.
