So many commentators don't understand the biblical background to the act of kneeling and washing feet. (Biblical ignorance is such a bad influence in our society.) And of course the religious left takes Scripture out of context. As the old saying goes, a text without a context can become a pretext.
First, a little recent historical background.
Back in the 1970s, during the Jesus Movement — the right kind of cultural revolution, not the one today led by neo-Marxists and their destruction, a false and evil movement — we did some wonderful things. At home Bible studies, which sprang up everywhere, we occasionally did some foot-washing "ceremonies." We got a basin of water and a cloth and knelt down and washed each other's feet, or at least the feet of the person sitting next to us.
Where did we get the scriptural support for our childlike and sweet and well intentioned activity? From here:
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. (John 13:3–4, NIV)
That passage was written regarding the Last Supper, which gets an extended treatment in John's Gospel. The whole scene is personal and expresses humility — the right kind. The leader (Jesus) voluntarily, to set an example, kneels and washes the feet of his disciples, even those of Judas, who left shortly afterward and betrayed him. The entire context shows that there was no coercion or guilt-tripping.

The article is totally irrelevant to the present
So if white people wash the feet of black people, are we actually washing away their sin and not our own? Hmmm???
The best.
Not only no but hell no. It is designed to humiliate self hating whites. I love the fact that I was born white so there will be no washing the feet of any blackie.
