White Texas Pastor Breaks Down How Slavery Was a ‘Blessing’ To Black Folks

[OODA_Loop]

Slavery was the wind that sowed the seeds of black existence outside of Africa.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

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.

I expect trump wiill make him a spiritual advisor,

There is no reason to think that.

More dumbass ignorance.

No African chattel slavery in China......no black community. Russia = none. Slavic countries = zip. Scandinavian countries = nada.

He’s actually not wrong. While most slave’s lives were horrible, their descendants actually have it much better today than they would have if their ancestors had remained in their shithole countries.

Wrong. And you descend from people who ran away from European s-holes.

 

[IM2]

There is no reason to think that.

There is every reason to think that.

If Blacks didn’t sell Blacks into slavery there would never have been a problem in the first place. Up to 200 years ago white and ethnic slavery was as common as the sun rising and setting each day. Simply a major part of human nature, conquer, rape, pillage, then subjugate the vanquished into slavery. Every empire and kingdom depended upon slavery to exist. Don’t forget the English subjugated white Irish, Scottish, and Dutch into servitude as penal and indentured servants when America and Australia were founded.

That's not exactly how it all happened, and whites did not have to float into Africa and buy anyone. Indentured servants were not slaves.

Let’s not forget that slaves in America had longer average lifespans than their compatriots in Senegal or Congo. Slavery lengthened lifespans.

So you can’t think of even one. That makes you a racist bigot now doesn’t it?

Name one country in Africa that whites didn't f up by colonizing it. Because there are blacks who have left here, moved to Africa, and are enjoying themselves.

My Catholic Church was one of the first to denounce slavery back in 1839. Jesus always has the right answer.

Dude. They still venerate the flag of an army that fought to support a government based on the inferiority of the Black man. They see nothing wrong with that. You're just ungrateful. Worse, uppity.

All the African countries with Catholic Church influence are better off than they would have been without. The Muslim countries are all violent hell holes.

The Catholic Church innovated HOSPITALS.

Nuns used to do all the nursing. Does anyone every wonder why the old nurses' caps resemble a nun's wimple?

1839? How many years had black folks been slaves at that point? You mean that white Jesus that you gave us.

Ungrateful? Just racist arrogance.

And you're still on the Democratic Plantation all these centuries later.

The pope isn't in the United States, so it's great he recognized an injustice so far away as early as he did. You should be grateful to the RCC.

There is every reason to think that.

Not outside the fever swamps.

What's the greatest modern injustice being perpetrated on black citizens today?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

And you're still on the Democratic Plantation all these centuries later.

Am I? Are you mad black folks are not coming to the racist party.
