God forbid, correcting them!

There’s a Zoom video going around titled “White Women: Answer the Call 2024” where a bunch of middle-age white women gathered together to womansplain racism to each other. If weird weren’t a chic word right now, I’d call this whole whitewashbash session, weird. It’s weird. And truthfully, it’s one of the beautiful parts of this country. We’re allowed to be weird! I kinda like being weird, if I’m being honest. I’m not sure where the liberal left got the idea that being weird is all of the sudden a bad thing (they’re calling VP nominee JD Vance “weird”… a lot!), especially coming from a party that usually embraces the weirdness of society’s fringe-iest folks. Here’s a small portion of the video, and pay special note to the particular line that I used for the title of my post…

If I’m wrong, please correct me. I’ll just get that out there straight away. I think this woman (and all the others on this Zoom meeting, I assume) is approaching the idea of correction as a weapon people use to belittle others. I’ll admit being called out is humbling. It can be embarrassing. I guess this woman doesn’t want to embarrass people, and God forbid, people of color! She’d be called *dun dun dunnnnnn* a racist.

I’m right. You’re wrong.

In the Bible there’s a book called Proverbs and in it, it’s said, “Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.” So if someone is wrong, it’s actually helpful to correct them. How can they (or I) gain understanding if no one is brave enough to speak up? The white woman leading this portion of the video is ultimately saying that all people of color are right (about everything), which is rather racist if you sort that out for what it really means. It falls right in line with Joe Biden a few years ago saying you’re not black if you don’t vote for him. So people of color all think the same way, got it.

We all know that if there was a Zoom meeting of conservative white women, it would be wildly and robustly mocked by everyone in the media and in Hollywood. They’d be quick to, God forbid, “correct” those white women, wouldn’t they?
