Its been a while since I read the book "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo. Yes, there were some key FACTS in that book that were relevant, and I actually agree with the ideas presented. BUT here is the issue.....these things revolve around similar things that Martin Luther King Jr. fully addressed in his speech as well as the writings of other works on the market, like biography of Frederick Douglas, and the book "Color of Law." Furthermore, the writer of this book went to a "diverse college" that consisted MORE of Asian and "non-black" students, than of actual BLACK or INDIGENOUS populations, which she claims to care about.
I can remember a quirky quote from the book which stated that white people who have "black cousins" or have a long-time-ago ancestor that was "BIPOC" have no idea what racism is any more, because of xyz conditions.
The bible NEVER addressed these things THIS way. The bible OFTEN remembers "lineage" in various ways. The book of Leviticus for example addresses "sexuality" things from various angles, so there is NOT ONE MAN on earth that is excusable for excuses before the one who CREATED man, through "sexuality" practices. The terms Brother, Aunt, Sister-in-Law etc are used. That means that the GOD of the bible KNEW that close domestic relationships were a part of HUMAN interaction. HOW were people supposed to relate? Not with "pride" as that was an abomination for a reason.....but with obedience to, well, the things Psalm 119 addresses (love for the Commandments.....love for the first five books of the bible). SLAVERY among "JEwish" people was NEVER permitted.......for obvious reasons, even back in the days of Moses. How are TRAFFICKED people treated in terms of this and that? Well, I should NOT have to explain more.
What I am saying is that IF Robin D. Angelo ACTUALLY ignores FAMILY REALITY relationships, she is in-fact HATING the GOD of the bible who CREATED people!.....the particular people she seems to "care" about, Black and indigenous populations. Does she even KNOW that sometimes people with only 5% of minority ancestry can have features expressed......even though they are majority white ancestry?
I am certain that the Levitical "themes" are THERE simply because man needs a "frame work" to work with. An IDEA in mind about these things. It does NOT mean that man should overstep the "boundary lines" given just because its a great-aunt-once-removed as written in the book of Leviticus. What if its a 1/2 brother 2 times removed? What if Robin D. Angelo says to you....."Oh, you do not care about black people as a 100% white person, because your cousin is black. You are not your cousin." Little did she KNOW is that what if what a family situation, where a GREAT AUNT of someone died (car-accident, cancer etc) and she had one OLDER child who was black. This OLDER CHILD who was black was taken into the HOME of the ONLY living family member who happened to be your own white biological mother. You lived in that home and shared living space with the BLACK COUSIN.... Basically, you could not CHOOSE the family situation because you were a person under age 5 and you CONTINUED to see this cousin at ALL your family get-to-gethers, this BLACK COUSIN continued to come to your home for future life advice and things like that. Like literally LOOK at the "features" given to the twins.....TIA and TAMERA MOWRY and their children as an EXAMPLE!
The summary of the book is to PROMOTE "lineage" discrimination basically! It is a book that says that ALL white people have the SAME living situation and must deal with the situations EXACTLY how ROBIN D. ANGELO wants people to deal with things. DON'T step out of HER boundary line or ....ahem......YOU are out of line!
History repeats itself when people do NOT look at the bible as a frame-work for understanding things on this earth. MOSES.....was born MALE......an enslaved male......Jewish Hebrew ancestry...... Marriage Covenant from Mt. Sinai included Psalm 119. Males typically have HIGHER needs to "keep the tribe" in order..... When it comes to RACIAL discrimination..... MALES are the first target of the group. Go from there.
Look at the scripture FIRST before trusting ..... "facts" and how people perceive them in this world!@@!!!@! Even Ben Shapiro can see it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWgnX84KD7A
Go with Matthew 5-7 and how it ADDRESSED fully the needs of being ACCEPTED for YOUR features and frame if you will.... JESUS accepts people....but some people do NOT accept JESUS' definitions! Remember When It Rained - YouTube
