Then why aren't they also washing the feet of other White People? Christians aren't supposed to exclude, especially exclude SOLELY DUE TO RACE. Can you answer that?
Jesus H. Christ. If this keeps up every liberal with two brain cells to rub together will be voting for Trump.
Sorry fellow liberals, I just attended a real dumpster fire of a UU service, then my husband, an academic, got an email from a fellow professor insisting that they #SHUTDOWNACADEMIA because, you you, academia is sooooo incredibly racist, then I saw this. Aaaaaaaaaa!!
Keep it up (the subgroup of) liberals (who are propaganda-spewing morons)! Do you want to have the worst president in American history re-elected? Sure seems like it ..,.
Indeed. And I was thinking bout it too. It's a Sunday treat since I usually dont eat breakfast. Kinda ruined it for me. I truly dont get this. These people probably think that Maio Van Peebles movie Posse deserves an Oscar.
Oh my was that a pathetic film. But it did portray this sort of attitude. Wow! I didnt think the White guilt bunch could go any lower.
Personally I'm NOT going to humiliate and debase myself for any reason. And this just ties it for me. In a full on granny knot. Were I to actually see such a scene in person passing by I'd probably wind up in a scuffle if not a brawl. No frigging way!!
I'm going out for breakfast in a few minutes and I'll eat just fine. There's a national election coming up in November. And most people in this country are not self-destructive, toxic, insane morons.
I was overjoyed when I first saw expressions of peace and empathy from one "side" to the other, but now it's getting so carried away, intentions of peace will be impossible to take seriously at best. At worst, it'll actively turn off people from the idea of reconciliation, because they'll think it necessitates humiliating displays of grovelling.
Why the weird power tripping? Why not shake hands or hug as equals?
You wish harm on the cops and white protesters? You're sick in the head.
Another poster pointed out it is a symbolic gesture with it's roots in Christianity:
Maybe that’s why, among other things, Peter gets so incensed at Jesus’ behavior: It’s bad enough that Jesus is behaving like a slave, but washing feet is just too much to tolerate. “You will never wash my feet,” says Peter. “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me,” comes the harsh reply (John 13:8).
It’s not just a question of feet, but of exposing feet, of being washed as well as washing. Jesus isn’t talking here about the kind of service where someone with a lot of something gives it to someone who doesn’t have enough; there are no haves and have-nots at the Lord’s table. It’s about a different kind of relationship altogether, one in which everyone recognizes that we all have dirty feet and we need each other to be made clean.
It truly is eye opening just how much self-loathing exists in the white liberal community.
I am a person of color. A white fb friend posted support for BLM and I made a negative comment about skin color not being an excuse to riot and hurt innocent people on the streets and she and her liberal friends said that I couldn’t relate because my ancestors weren’t enslaved and oppressed and that my having the same skin color as Blacks doesn’t give me the Black experience. I deleted my comment.

Selective non-inclusive HYPOCRISY, EXCLUDING White people. Nothing about Jesus, nor Christian values. All about virtue signaling BIAS and White Guilt.
Stop being purposely dishonest.
The cop washing the feet was a black woman.
