9 Ways To Be a Better White Person

9 ways to be a better white person - Religion News Service

I came to hear about this from a podcast I listen to. There are so many things wrong with this. Unfortunately, this type of thinking is infiltrating the church, and the gospel is being replaced by emotions and false narratives.

Just the title alone is wrong, as being white isn’t a sin, and does not need improvement. What does need to happen is to live life in a gospel-centered way, regardless of skin color. But you won’t find the gospel mentioned once in this article.

What if you already belong to and worship in a Church where you are the only white person?

God made of one blood all nations. So I believe racism is a term biggots use in creating the problem.

She seems quite anxious to show there is a difference in people. But I guess if this age of increasing political division it is advantageous to stir the division pot if it will sell a book. Reminds me of those who are now calling Christmas secular songs sexist. But isn't encouraging white folks to be kinder gentler people still racism as it suggests we should patronize others?

Then move along. You have achieved goodness.

Hahahaha. Can I get that on a certificate or something? I know people at my church who would be surprised. (Including me. )

I’ll see what I can do.

Why has he achieved goodness for being the only white person in his church? No offense intended toward you or dzheremi by asking that question. I'm honestly asking. Am I missing something?

 

[Hammster]

Here’s the podcast, if anyone is interested.

If the article is to be believed, then he is already a better white person.

 

[Chesterton]

Well that was a disappointing read. Judging from the title I thought I was going to get tips on stuff like how to make my 4x4 taller or how to score front row Lynyrd Skynyrd tickets.

 

[Chesterton]

Here’s the podcast, if anyone is interested.

I think I'll pass.

 

[Hammster]

I think I'll pass.

I did say if anyone was interested.

I think our friend's response was meant in a satirical fashion.

Like white people are the only racists hmph

 

[carp614]

I fundamentally reject and refute the notion of white privilege. The concept is morally bankrupt and demonstrably false.

I worked hard, spent a ton of money, and spent years mastering my chosen line of work to get what I have. I started with more than some others because my parents did the same thing I am doing, so they had more to offer me, just as I have more than average to offer to my children.

The entire narrative around white privilege is hogwash.

I mean no offense. If my opinion offends you I apologize for the offense, but not for my opinion.

What is the point of us giving this any kind of attention ?

Lol, why do people hate whites so much?

And I cannot be accused of racism since power + prejudice and I have no power.

But you're writing in English even though you're in Ecuador, so you're participating in colonialist whiteness or something like that. (And also if you wrote in Spanish, because white Spaniards colonized the Americas and made the people in what is now Ecuador and elsewhere speak Spanish. Time to learn Quechua or Maya or something.)
