All this talk about White Supremacy confuses me. I try not to listen to the media too often but once in a while I visit this channel to see what the Quakers are up to, I attended a meeting for about three years until I realized that there wasn't much love practiced. At any rate I am surprised to hear a Quaker talk about this issue because no matter who it is you are labeling it's racist. I am white and have never felt superior to anyone nor have I ever looked down on any one because of their skin color or ethnic background. Remember there is that of God in everyone no matter what their skin color.

I appreciate your comments. I found this channel as I was thinking of attending a Quaker meeting. This speaker's unchallenged statement that 'White supremacy is everywhere' has completely put me off.

The Quaker open minded spirituality makes dialogue possible.

When Jesus said the poor are always among you...he isn't speaking about wealth exclusively...he is speaking of power and justice as well. If we are unwilling to speak when injustices are observed we are contributing to the injustice. Yes we have come a long way to make amends to the scourge of white supremacy but remember apartheid in South Africa was over turned within my adult lifetime. There is much more we can do. And she has spoken well to the testimonies of Friends in dealing with the injustices between people groups.

When Jesus made that statement, it was all about wealth in the context of the discussion. BUT, I would agree the poor can be defined in a broader since. There is no need to claim Jesus was saying something more in a particular moment to prove another truth. Truth is truth and all truth comes from God.

Really appreciate this episode. Especially learning some of the characteristics of white supremacy found all around us (and in some of us). Lots to look into further 🙏🏻

I don’t doubt the speaker’s earnest good intentions. But I find it troubling that she so uncritically cites` the half-baked ideas of Tema Okun on a supposed “white supremacy culture.” The idea that something like, for example, individualism (which is in fact a value as fundamental to Quakerism as is that of community, if not more so) has some special connection to white supremacy is absurd, and only serves to reinforce prejudicial stereotypes about people of all races.

¿Quedan cristianos entre los cuaqueros? La terminología Whoke lo infiltra todo.
