When I first heard the phrase White guilt years ago I thought it was foolish, ludicrous because, it is. I not only knew what it meant but agreed with the sentiments behind the phrase Black fatigue. Why? Because they reveal the racial divide that plagues the world.
Romans 8:1 (KJV)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Caucasians, White people, should not feel guilty because of their pigment. White people living in 2026 had nothing to do with their ancestors’ behavior; they may inherit wealth but they did not inherit slaves. Successful white people should not feel guilty if they achieved success legally and morally correct.
The issue with SOME people of dark pigment, Black people, is their behavior is often illegal and too often immoral. Black fatigue is an explanation of how people, such as myself, feel about those individuals who: cry out racism, rob, steal, murder, riot, disrespect people and disobey laws. (adding to the problems of: the lack of fathers in many home, being financially dependent on the government and age in which young ladies become pregnant.)
Galatians 5:13-17 (KJV)
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
There are people who identify as Christians but do not live in love. Politically, many of these individuals are associated with the Democrat party and are liberal in their ideology. It is this political ideology that promoted White guilt in order to push such policies as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), forcing institutions to hire unqualified individuals. The unfortunate problem with DEI hiring is, the individuals who were hired knew they were not qualified but took the job anyway. The flesh (person) lusteth (desired, wanted) against the Spirit (the will of God) which is an act of disobedience to God.
This same mindset that promotes White guilt, feeds Black entitlement. When you believe you ‘deserve’ something you think you should get it even if you did not earn it. Black entitlementt does not promote education, work or submission. A note on submission: In the work place it means- obey company policies; at school it means -follow the rules; socially it means- obey the laws and law enforcement; at home it means – obey your parents. The “Black” culture, the group of Black people who believe the way they dress and behave should be socially acceptable and that they are entitled to things they did not earn just because of their pigment, should not be behavior treated as if it is normal; it is not.
The problems I see in the Black culture community is as follows, they: will not point out the criminals in their neighborhood to law enforcement, do not effectively discipline their children which includes establishing boundaries, do not push education over pleasure, have children who disrespect the authority of educators and law enforcement, justify stealing from their place of employment and stores they shop in, disrespect law enforcement and the government, are financially ignorant, have no idea as to how the government works and do not accept responsibility for their own behavior. Far too often I hear reports from individuals in the Black Culture community declaring “it is the White man’s fault”.
2 Corinthians 5:14-19 (KJV)
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
My faith in the shed blood of Jesus the only begotten Son of God has motivated me to share the above Scriptures with you. It grieves me, and the Spirit of God, to see the prejudice and racial opinions being shared throughout the world.
His blood, Jesus, is red; we all bleed red blood. ANYONE who calls themselves a Christian is a new creature, a new being, you are not who you once were, if you are really yielded to Him.
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:19
As a follower of Jesus the Messiah I choose to see people as either covered by the blood or not covered by the blood; saved or not saved. People who want others to feel guilty (Romans 8:1), individuals who are rebellious because they feel they are entitled (Galatians 5:16-17) have not submitted to Jesus.
Romans 10:9-13 (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
White skin color is not bad, Black skin color is not automatically good; pigment cannot save you. It is the blood of Jesus, associated with his life, death, burial and resurrection that will save you.
