TJ Sweeney’s Reviews > How to Be an Antiracist > Status Update

New level of racism today lol, I was at soccer practice. Kid makes racist joke, I say it was racist. Then he says “no I’m not racist, you should here the guys in my study hall”. Basically saying since there are some people more racist than him…he isn’t racist, never heard that one before. I guess people assume if there only a little racist it’s okay as long as other people are more racist…

Life’s very confusing.

“This statue was made by one of you men. If we lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the man placed under the paw of the lion”
This brings up the brilliant point of whoever creates the system/ cultural standards/ social standards usually puts themselves at the top. Which can help explain the problem the US has with white privilege. Since the white man creates the system, it will benefit him the most.

“Any gospel that does not speak to the issue of enslavement and inequality. Any gospel that does not want to go where people are hungry and poverty stricken and set them free in the name is Jesus Christ is NOT THE GOSPEL.”

If people must use religion to be good individuals, then do so, but more so, be good because it’s the right thing to do. Right?
