Woke Archbishop Brands Own Church ‘Racist’
2020-02-18
[BREITBART] The Church of England’s most prominent holy man, Justin Welby, said he is "ashamed of our history" and of his supposed advantages as a straight white male.
It's too bad blackface is so un-PC. He could paint himself and join the ranks of the WOGS BAMES.
The Archbishop of Canterbury was speaking ahead of a vote by the Church’s General Synod to "lament, on behalf of Christ’s Church, and apologises for, the conscious and unconscious racism experienced by countless black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) Anglicans in 1948 and subsequent years".
Do you have to pass some kind of test to be Archbishop of Canterbury? I'll bet being Anglican isn't part of it.
1948 was the year the Empire Windrush ship landed hundreds of Caribbean migrants colonists in Britannia, firing the starting gun on a wave of mass migration to the kingdom from its former empire which continues to the present day.
So lemme get this straight: The Brits decide to take this "Commonwealth" thing seriously and open their borders to fellow Empireans. And his Holier-than-Thouness is ashamed of it.
"I am almost beyond words. Personally, I am sorry and ashamed. I’m ashamed of our history and I’m ashamed of our failure," Welby said of his Church’s "conscious and unconscious racism".
I think maybe I see why church membership is declining faster than the number of BBC license holders.
"It’s shaming as well as shocking. It is shocking, but it’s profoundly shaming," he continued, somewhat redundantly, in a speech which even he described as "incoherent".
Unfortunately, he didn't commit seppuku in front of God's altar. Maybe next Sunday.

#4  These fuckers aren't even christian anymore. If God where white they'd be ashamed of Him too. God always sided with his chosen people; clans and communities he would choose, seemingly at whim to side with. 'Jacob I have loved but Esau I have hated'. He's... picky that way.
He didn't go by skin colour, but He was won over by attitudes. Of course, he foreknew some would turn out just right. So God too favoured certain people over others. So does nature.

Did that make them privileged ? I guess it did. So what ? Can the rest of the fucking world grudge them that ? Doesn't that make the complainers all Cain ? Privilege-bashing, do-nothing slackers... fuck 'em all !

As for the black people (not all of them) who are pleased and empowered by this idiot, guilt powered, black supremacy nonsense.... if a darker skin gives you such a bloody complex that you resent anyone fairer than you and proceed to justify your lack of decency and dignity with that, good luck impressing Gawd. Such people should forever remain underprivileged.

#3  AlanC - check the local cable listings. I caught some Monty Python on BBC America (920 on XFinity / Comcast here in MA) or one of those nearby channels just last week, and I think they run them every week.

#1  Sing along with the incoherent reverend rapper:

You say shaming, I say shocking,
You say shocking, I say shaming,
Shaming
Shocking
Shucking 'n' jiving
Rocking socking, rock it - sock it - cock it up!

That's the Canterbur-...
[again] That's the Canterbur-...
[again] That's the Canterbury Raaaaaaaaap!
