Good southern religious folks who could sing Amazing Grace on the deck of a slave ship. Our understanding of a God that could allow such atrocities would have to leave us feeling inferior. The oppressed become oppressors. It is a learned behavior. Light colored folks feel superior to dark folks.
Skinny folks feel superior to fat folks.
Educated folks feel superior to undereducated folks. Men lord over women, 'haves' lord over the 'have nots'. The pulpit often becomes a place of monarchy, not ministry. Whoever is considered the gentile in our midst is often oppressed by us. African Americans who got their opportunity through Affirmative Action are speaking against it.
