Thread: White Privilege

  1. #1

    White Privilege

    This is a Facebook post from Zoe Warren who is actually one of our members that goes under the name of God's Plain Truth TV:


    It is the absolute HEIGHT of hubris and supremacist thinking for white liberals to make any effort to convince me that they have privileges that I don't have by virtue of my skin color. It is the pathology of the bigot to feel that you need to humble yourself from some high and exalted position and condescend to we little colored people of low estate. It would be laughable if it wasn't so damned offensive. This ain't the 1960s. Black African immigrants come to this country and prosper beyond many of your white children in every available metric- even fluent in several languages, multiple houses, and thousands of acres of foreign and domestic land. Liberalism is utter stupidity. Pedagogy of the Oppressed is born of hell and needs to go back where it came from.

    Try your white privilege in South Africa. Try it in South Central. Try it in Pakistan. I can go to any of those places with my family and be treated like a dignitary. From DC to the Dominican to the ends of the Earth you have no more privileges than me, because of my skin color. I have more privileges than some white folks, because I can do a better job of adopting cultures. Anyone who can effectively adopt the culture is favored by the culture- color is irrelevant.

    In many Asian countries, women spend loads of money on skin whitening products, whereas here in the states, we use tanning products.

    But on a more serious note, we do have to deal with our history of slavery and the ideology of white supremacy that justified slavery. Although slavery was eliminated, the ideology that backed it up has never entirely disappeared.

    Outside of tiny fringe movements, who still holds to slavery being justified? There are some strange groups Living in remote areas like Idaho, but I don't think anyone takes them serious. They are only a fraction of the population and they have no influence.

    I have never heard anyone say or even imply it was justified. I'm really interested in this.

    I know 100s of years ago, white churches taught false doctrines on this, but I do believe that has been eradicated. Unless I'm misinformed?

    For the Christian, there is no such thing as "white privilege." It's totally a worldly concept. If we are fully submitted to God and following His will, we partake of "Christian privilege," meaning that God directs our steps perfectly. Where He leads, we go. As we do, we're living out Christian privilege. That's true of any ethnicity of Christian.

    Granted, in the world there may very well exist "white privilege" among the unsaved. But we are not of the world. We do not assign our success to "white privilege." To do so robs God of His glory if He is directing our life.

    Let the world sort out "white privilege" or any other color privilege. We, members of the church, are called out from the world and its trendy notions of how things work.

    Hi Pentecali. Nobody in the states holds slavery to be justified. But the entire rationale for slavery was white supremacy, which was a prevailing mindset that people of a certain color were fundamentally inferior. That mindset didn't instantly disappear when the North won the Civil War. Edit: And I should add that the mindset was present in both north and south.

    Can't disagree that in the early years of America, many did hold to that belief and it probably took a few generations after the Cvil war for it to die out. And there was still a ways to go after that as far as civil rights, but as you said, no one today holds to a belief in slavery.

    Which people would have believed because that's what they were told as they grew up, isn't it? Like kids today think socialism is good because they're told it yet anyone who has experienced it knows better.

    Slavery has always been an economic phenomena, cheap labor. It has never been based on supremacist theology.

    In fact, slavery is still quite plentiful throughout the world.

    Hubby was telling me about something he saw posted on Drudge - We found it both amusing and prolific at the same time - Someone made this statement in response to the recent "Unrest" going on right now...
