Right, it is misplaced guilt to take responsibility for the sins of others. Self-indulgent sentimentality can be annoying, but I think you pointed to a deeper spiritual problem which is the need to feel morally superior, when those morals don't have a legitimate foundation. What a magnificent poet and poem.
not only a need to feel morally superior, but also a need to manipulate and control everyone else. Guilt tripping others by tagging them with another long-dead group of people's judged sins to demand the high-price of requisite guilty attitude, self subjugation, forfeit of value, and revising view of self to include the term racist. Or else they'll be tarred with the term racist. I'm pretty sure this is the opposite of Dr. King's vision.
Rita, I love your comment. You have honed in on the issue. Morale superiority! So many Christian religions end up with memberships that are steeped in morale superiority when the original intent of some humble beginnings were far from that. The pride, greed and power of human behavior abounds. Christian said be baptized and believe. That is my only doctrine. Men proceed to interpret putting gates in front of gates in front of gates and the religion no longer resembles its humble beginnings. Christ said love others as I have loved you. He didn't say but not if they are cleaning toilets. Just say'in.
The human mind interferes with Truth and distorts it, and then the blind follow the blind. My favorite event in the Bible is when John baptized Jesus in the Jordan. He had the 'experience' of Divine Godly connection; the water symbolizing purification is simply the metaphor pointing to the greater reality of Divine love and communion earned through spiritual purity, clarity. How many people have that, yet it is possible, that is why he made the demonstration.
Just a thought about those who clean the restrooms. Under normal conditions a janitor has many duties. I think it is important to view this not as an observer but from the actual person’s who is performing the tasks. I suspect most have pride in what they do or at a minimum they for the most part have decided this may be what they want to do. I have known individuals who perform these essential functions. Instead of pity maybe the next time we observe them we should first greet them and then thank them for keeping the facilities clean. Not everyone can be a ????? But everyone can be apart of a productive society.
"White guilt" is something I absolutely refuse to accept. My third great grandfather came to Texas in 1853, from Czechia. He came to Texas for two reasons: to be able to own land (only for the nobility at that time in Europe) and to worship God as he chose (Protestant, when that land was controlled by a Catholic monarchy.)
Besides being a farmer, he was also a journalist, writing numerous articles against secession and slavery, which made him quite unpopular among the planters in the area west of Houston where his family settled. In fact, he lived under a death threat.
Just a follow-up: I think younger persons today tend to fall for the scam of the various race/woke/guilt hustlers because they have not been thoroughly grounded in their country's history and just as important, in their family's history. When you know where you've come from, you have a better chance of knowing who and what to believe.
From elementary school in the '50s to high school in the 60's, I was taught world, US and Texas history. I can't say for sure, but I would suspect much of that subject matter is barely covered, if at all today.
And most summer events were family reunions where we met distant cousins and heard the "old folks" talking about how this person is related to that person, etc. Also, these were usually held on Sundays, after church, which added the spiritual dimension to our education.
Nice article, Mr. Leake! Shouldn't it be "Profitess" instead of Prophetess as a descriptor for DiAngelo? LOL. She's in this for the money, besides her personal ego trip.
The CIA sure knew what it was targeting in the 1960s, by using Gloria Steinem as their mouthpiece, didn't they? We're into a third generation of brainwashed girls who are afraid to be women and angry at men because they're not.
L.A. born here and the only way to deal with these people is to 1) ask them to explain and, 2) ask them to explain again and again, like you're a 5 year old. Hopefully, they'll see where they've gone wrong.
Also, laugh at them. (That part is easy.)
This quotation also works. It's perfection, honest.
"At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats."
ha! Globalists decided to suppress the divine feminine a long long while ago. The mouthpieces may have thought they were promoting the female, but imo they were used as the latest ploy to keep them disconnected from their true power. Hard to see the water you're swimming in, though.
If you are unfamiliar with the video game Dues Ex from 2000, pre-911 remember, you would find the various dialogs and monologues in it quite fascinating. There is an artificial intelligence at the center of it and it has quite an accurate take on people's desire to be judged and absolved. The AI aims to become just that sort of artificial god. Deus Ex is widely considered the greatest game ever made because of its based take on how the world works and what motivates individuals to do what they do as well as how secret societies of powerful people gain and keep that control. And, oh yeah, it features FEMA, the UN, a global virus and the use of an antidote to cull the population and exert control.
Uniparty Nazi's make EVERYTHING into a 'Cult,' RACISM, MURDER IN THE WOMB and CLIMATE CHANGE can be added to the list though all are merely fed in the place of 'CLASS WARFARE' in mind achieving CAUSALITY for the Activists towards support of Uniparty Nazi Demon Worshiping Pedophilia, Cannibalism, Vampirism.
The gullible and STUPID seem clueless to know their values to no longer be based in Judeo-Christianity but have degraded to that of PAGANISM DEMIGOD/DEMON WORSHIP of the old Demons/Demigods: Ba'al, Moloch, Ishtar and any number of polytheistic evils commanding the horrors seen in western oriented Nations growing in numbers for the last decade.
The Demons are attacking the world with REGRESSION to a brutal, disgusting and bloody past where all now viewed as MORAL ADVANCE, is in actuality DEPRAVITY AND REGRESSION. As usual, WOMEN are those the lies are whispered to as the women refusing God are GULLIBLE and easily deceived just as Eve with the serpent.
Seldom come across totally new information as contained in this link.
It's a link filling-in gaps surrounding plans of the enemies of the U.S. Constitution (Fabians/Imperialists/Central Banker Family Cabal in London/City of London), to the formation of U.S. CIA by the Dulles Bros. in concert with GCHQ/MI6/Tavistock Institute of the U.K. To this day, EVERY NGO, PHILANTHROPY, U.S. GOVT. INSTITUTION IS CAPTURED BY THOSE IN THE U.K. and answers to the Monarch, Peers, Central Bankers and Conglomerate Corporatists running the show as they dreamed of by 'hook or crook' since the U.S. Revolution which diluted their power and wealth until the early 20th Century.
Their covert operations including mega-wealthy American Corporatists to install Nazi Germans into North America following WWII to continue the horrendous, brutal, torturing 'Mind Control Experiments' with M.K. Ultra's variety of Operations were perpetrated under the classification of UNRESTRICTED WARFARE/SOFT WARFARE. It's interesting how the enemy USES CCP/China as the bully of America when it's actually the same old enemies of The U.S. Revolution; The Venetian Black Nobility after infiltrating to DOMINATION of the U.S. Body Politic.
The eugenicist Fabian/MI6/GCHQ Agents attacked through 'Sex/Drug/Rock n Roll' (EMOTION and DELUSIONS BASED IN HUMAN FRAILTY) to oppose Traditional U.S. Christian culture. You've provided some pieces of the puzzle beyond the CA Laurel Canyon Band members having parents involved with U.S. Military Intel and Classified Operations. Your information has not been forthcoming for me until this article.
Seems logical the traditional Demon Worshipers would reinstitute PAGAN DEMON WORHIP through women easily brainwashed as Eve was to bring this nation down. Though it hasn't manifested as a social movement until the most recent years during the PLANDEMIC, it's articles as this which trace the genesis of the evil allowing it to be viewed from the lens of some logic.
I do not agree that love is so much easier. True love is much harder because it is not in our nature to do so. When you give thought to this one would have to come away and say it is much more difficult. What is love. Read 1 Corinthian 13 and see if you fail any of what is listed there! Ask why at least 50% of marriages fail. Ask why parents and kids have difficulties. Again define what love is. What about the golden rule do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We with our depraved nature have a pretty hard time with that and we fail miserably.
I dunno. I don't think it's possible to offend the divine. The consequences of our time on earth teach us well enough. All lessons are extremely valuable. Sometimes the hardest ones are the most valuable. I believe the divine is completely aware of all this.
I know that’s what the churches have told the masses but that seems in complete contradiction to what I hear even in the teachings of Jesus. There is a lot about forgiveness and acceptance and teaching of the higher wisdom of doing so. Lots of “log in one’s own eye” kind of contemplation. The Aramaic word for “sin” meant literally “debt” - as in money - in ancient times, according to scholar Michael Hudson. Not our all encompassing meaning of “sin.” It seems to me the heads of churches had a reason to tell the masses such things: to control them. To reap the rewards and power of being the intermediaries between the masses and the divine. To get people to feel guilty and submit and not question anything. Just as John’s story of “white guilt” is doing in current times.
I suspect your take is correct, Suzanne. The "Hail Mary" and "Lord Prayer" penance for Catholic sinners seems nearly as empty as repeated calls to "Decolonise my whiteness and my privilege". The powers are trying to tap into the same needs, whether they be for atonement or for feelings of virtue.
As a child I dealt with potential guilt myself, by apology or by rationalisation, so in church I found it demeaning to kneel down and confess to sins that I didn't commit and ask for forgiveness. I had to pretend it. No idea what the other pray-ers were thinking.
The women finding virtue or atonement through DEI have to think it through - either pray in gratitude to their forebears for their strength and ingenuity, give the money up, or try to contribute in some other way.
Yes, so much to contemplate. I grew up Catholic and the idea I was “born a sinner” even as a child seemed an unconscionably cruel idea to inflict on children. An infant who cannot speak is a “sinner”? I cried so many tears over never being good enough for Santa, let alone God. Cruelty and control. It’s the identical persecution and control idea within this story: You who are white are guilty by your possible ancestors’ possible wrongs. Shame! Shame! Shame! Same globalists, same lies, same tricks.
To me believing in the power of satan diminishes the power of the divine. To me, the divine is powerful beyond human comprehension. To think anything such as a satan character would cause such a power any trouble at all makes no sense to me. And if that’s so, the divine completely forgives our misunderstanding of any of this dimensional illusion and confusion. Judgment is based on human conscious imo not divine light. The heads of churches used the idea to wield power. There are people doing nefarious things. I do get to the point where I label them evil. I also realize that judgment itself separates me from divine consciousness.
I've cleaned toilets and made beds as a maid for motels during a few summers while in college. Totally zen kind of work, honestly. The only stress was getting it done quickly. I'd zone out with my own thoughts and creative ideas while doing it, so I'd lose track of time. And it was satisfying to see a sparkling room at the end. Surprised me that I didn't mind it at all. Usually also the airport janitor jobs are stable and well paid. So perhaps not all see themselves doing a dirty, thankless job, John. Not a bad idea that everyone have a job doing it for a while, though.
re white guilt ... imo it's another globalist manipulation control lever to be thrown out along with the rest of the globalist puppets' divide and conquer narratives.
re poem ... separation from the divine is our core wound on this earth. Probably everything we do is about working to heal / let go of this limiting belief.
I recommend “The Content of Our Character” by Shelby Steel. These women lack their own “moral authority” & therefore cave in to guilt to feel &/or look better or they’re narcissists & actually believe that they control the means of another human beings success or failure (probably where the wealth part comes in) Either way everyone needs to be in charge of their own moral authority or someone else will.
I would also consider the rise of "empathy" as a central focus for many well meaning people. Empathy appears to have transformed into some strange new super power. It has become bound up with vague yearnings for action rather than mere understanding, and as a result it now corrupts both the person who feels possessed by it, and those to whom it has been directed.
There is a significant portion of the population that hates themselves and projects that hate where they can. It is that simple.
Wokeism = Virtue without self-sacrifice
That’s it.
Anti-wokeism is also virtue without self-sacrifice. Genuine compassion for the other is the cure.
Cleaning a toilet is not any more dirty work than making a pile of dirty dishes when making a meal. It's all about simple respect for human life.
I think it's a very honourable job. I think one can feel happier cleaning a toilet than working for an organisation largely owned by Blackrock.
As if Gates and those actual delporables aren't wading and wallowing in filth every day.
Excellent comment.
Personal responsibility, too, along with dignity.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa) would always volunteer to clean the toilets.
What a mensch.
Right, it is misplaced guilt to take responsibility for the sins of others. Self-indulgent sentimentality can be annoying, but I think you pointed to a deeper spiritual problem which is the need to feel morally superior, when those morals don't have a legitimate foundation.

Here here.
I am White.
I have no guilt.
From the beach....
🌞🇧🇷🏖️🌊🐬🌎😎
I'm also white, and ... nope, no guilt.
Atta girl ! 👏
Very bold.
Not for that, anyway.
Glad I'm on the powerful winning team, and looking to defend against all other assault.
I saw Matt Walsh’s movie “Am I Racist” and it was hilarious!! I recommend it to everyone whether you think you are racist or not!!
I grew up in Compton, California. Some of the most racist people are not white.
I grew up near enough to Harlem to affirm that statement!
Just a thought about those who clean the restrooms. Under normal conditions a janitor has many duties.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13:7f
God is never absent. Meditate! Get good at it and connect directly with the divine any time you want.
We all have to get through a good beating and then things will get better. We have offended our Most High Father greatly.
I dunno. I don't think it's possible to offend the divine. The consequences of our time on earth teach us well enough. All lessons are extremely valuable. Sometimes the hardest ones are the most valuable. I believe the divine is completely aware of all this.
