USA Today claimed Tuesday that Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock’s sermon calling for America to “repent for its worship of whiteness” is “missing context.”
USA Today wrote how Warnock has come under “intense scrutiny from conservative groups who seek to paint Warnock’s religious sermons as radical.”
The outlet claimed that the video of Warnock’s controversial remarks is “missing context” from the rest of his sermon.
Warnock said in an address at Atlanta’s Candler School of Theology right before the 2016 presidential election, “America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness on full display.”
USA Today claimed Warnock’s use of “whiteness” is merely an academic term.
Citing the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the outlet claimed whiteness is “the way that white people, their customs, culture, and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups are compared.”
Andra Gillespie, the director of the James Weldon Johnson Institute for Race and Difference at Emory University, told USA Today, “It is not meant to be a structural attack on white people.”
The director for the Institute for Race and Difference also said Warnock is “trying to offer a very pointed critique of a white supremacist culture that privileges whiteness above all other types of people.”
USA Today added that “Warnock’s comments were not advocating anti-white bias.”

White Lives Matter
Remains to be seen if the white people of Georgia are so “whupped” that they will repent by voting for this monstrosity.
Around San Francisco and Austin, they probably are.
Well, usaToday so there is that.......
... Andra Gillespie, the director of the James Weldon Johnson Institute for Race and Difference at Emory University, told USA Today, “It is not meant to be a structural attack on white people.”
Who does the repenting then?
/eyeroll
Warlock is racism incarnate...simple as that...
Why should 85% of the population repent for being what they are?
Has the 15% ever repented, for all the destruction that they have ever done?
Sorry, Emory, it’s clearly an attack on white people. Trying to excuse such terminology wouldn’t fly if it was a white pastor saying “blackness.”
Neither should be a theological topic. Warnock claims to be a Christian reverend and Christian theology is colorblind. Values of “whiteness” (according to the Smithsonian) include hard work and personal responsibility. These are rooted in Biblical principles. Attacking such things is antithetical to his faith and reveals his radicalism.
Warnock - the turd that just won’t flush.
(Why should 85% of the population repent for being what they are? Has the 15% ever repented, for all the destruction that they have ever done?)
Very good Terry, very good statement. Happy New Year to you, my brother in arms. Good bless!
BTW, read your FR page.
Ok, then lets take a look at "blackness," i.e the way that black people, their customs, culture and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups are compared. How would that comparison go? Not too well, I suppose. Which is why the whole concept is absurd. . .White people built the greatest culture and greatest nation on the face of the earth. . .deal with it, embrace it and, most importantly, emulate it. . .The success of America and Western Culture, in general, has been the result of the universal principles upon which our nation has been founded, that is, standards that are meant for all humanity and are not exclusive to "whiteness."
There are plenty of woke white suburbanites displaying his signs. SMH
Recall the nonsense from the smithsonian african museum of "history" about whiteness: aspects and assumptionf of whiteness and white culture in the US
They've taken down the chart but it's still out there:
Wouldn’t it be great if USA today and other media outlets would quickly issue “corrections”, “clarifications” and “explanations” every time a GOP candidate “misspoke?”
Media to the rescue!
That’s Ossoff.
Yeah, but worship of blackness is OK, according to him. Not gonna do it. They can KMA.
