I too find the victim-blaming stuff odd.<br /><br />Wise Fool -- I think a lot of this racial lovey-dovey stuff at the TheCall Detroit was intended to soothe white believers, not necessarily help believers of color. I could be wrong, but that was my gut instinct.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-92108529772754515532011-11-18T21:14:21.731-05:002011-11-18T21:14:21.731-05:00Certainly it's healthy to move forward and not...Certainly it's healthy to move forward and not wallow in victimhood. But this is very reminiscent of women who both venerate and enable their abusers. Blaming victims for being victims. How very weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-68114281577614987222011-11-18T21:05:20.285-05:002011-11-18T21:05:20.285-05:00I've got mixed feelings about this guy's s...I've got mixed feelings about this guy's speech. It's a bit difficult being on the outside looking in (white to black), as obviously I don't have the full perspective of the community, and I have never lived in an all black neighborhood. So my comments are probably worthless to some extent, but here they are anyway:<br /><br />Yeah, Uncle Tom may have been more Christ-like. And chances are slavery would have been much longer lasting than it was if all of the blacks acted like Uncle Tom. So there's that.<br /><br />(On the "plus" side, American slavery introduced African slaves to Christianity {not that I think slavery was good}. So there's that.)<br /><br />I get the sense that the militancy and "black ideology" movements are largely marginalized now in favor of rights and equality movements. So his comments there seem a little out of place in my perspective, but probably made a lot of whites happy to hear.TWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016277303703254572noreply@blogger.com
