Joel Webbon of Right Response Ministries said Black folks should be thankful for the slave trade, claiming it allowed them to benefit from White people’s blessings.
There’s audacity, and then there’s whatever Christian nationalist Joel Webbon was preaching last week. The White Texas-based pastor took to his “Right Response Ministries” podcast to deliver a jaw-dropping rant that sounded more like racist White supremacist propaganda than a productive discussion.
He is telling Black folks to “stop whining and crying” about slavery when being in bondage was our fault was just the tip of the iceberg.
Webbon started off his YouTube video paying tribute to the late pastor, Voddie Baucham Jr. of Zambia, but it didn’t take long for things to go left. He went on a full-blown rant, claiming Black folks should see slavery “as a blessing,” adding that without it, we’d “live in a grass hut.”
He didn’t stop there, saying our reparations are simply “getting to live in America” — the very country built on our ancestors’ stolen labor, per Albert African American Studies. And just when you thought he’d said enough, Webbon doubled down, explaining why he believes we should be thankful for slave masters.
“The greatest moment in history for any brown or Black country is the moment that the White man’s ships arrive on your shore,” Webbon boldly declared. “He brings the gospel of Jesus Christ, he catechizes you and your children, he brings exports, he brings hospitals, medicine, life expansion increases, GDP and resources increase, medicine increases, and most importantly, you get taught the gospel of Jesus Christ so that you can live longer on Earth and then go to Heaven instead of Hell.”
This is Trump America, we are seeing white racist say this type of trash more and more.
We have seen multiple white racist, so-called preachers spewing this same garbage.
I would love for the racist who babble this bullshit to be held in slavery for about 5ys and then come back and tell us that it wasn't that bad.
thats horrible and shouldn't have been said.
Now, will you condemn this?:

Racism is over. The fact there was once de jure racial discrimination does not mean you get to live in Wakanda; it means you get to live alongside every other man and woman. Stop looking for payback, grow the **** up, and move forward!

Just seeing if you would. As with most on the left, I assumed you'd be ok with this kind of violence.

Germany and Austria?
You apparently have no knowledge of the feudalist period in Europe. Every European country, in fact every empire, country, tribe, in the world enslaved the vanquished as slaves.

Why? Black folks don't have a history of violence against white folks in this country, but whites have a history of violence against black folks.
My poor use of words, Medieval, and pre medieval period. During the feudal period they were known as surfs, without rights, bound to the land by decree, and ownership, by the lord of the castle.

you are right there ..... their situation was bad ....
but they were not slaves
Apparently when you are the property of another, bound to the land, disposable, unable to leave or migrate, bought sold and traded, your not what one would call a slave?

Hmmm, that's your post not mine. I just said I condemn that bullshit and then you come back with some bullshit about me making excuses for it.

Well, you came back with "white people are more violent against blacks than blacks are against whites", which actually isnt true, but, you said that in what appears to be some attempt at justification, otherwise, what was the point of posting it
