Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast, presented by Canon Press. Yes God.

0:21.2

God. This is the Plodcast. I'm Douglas Wilson. Welcome to the plodcast. This is episode

0:25.7

2.13. Episode 2.13, here we are. I want to talk a little bit today about

0:32.4

the sin of being white, the sin of being white.

0:37.2

Now this has sort of been a remarkable turnabout in race relations relations a lot of a lot of Christians feel like over the last two years the

0:47.7

ground has given way underneath our feet is like a lot of things that we thought were stable or or assured or okay we all agree on that now

0:57.2

have been suddenly reversed on us and so you say what do we need to do?

1:03.0

Well, here's an example.

1:04.5

What people are saying is that white is a state of mind.

1:08.5

And if you are ethnically white, You are a beneficiary of that state of mind and you're going to have that

1:18.9

2:23.8

So you are, you happen to be physiologically white and you might say, well I can't do anything

2:28.8

2:29.8

No, but you, they'll, they'll retort, no, but you can self-consciously repudiate all the privileges that come to you as a result of being white and you can recognize that there are countless privileges that you just take as your

2:46.6

birthright and it's actually because you're white and you need to become a lot more hostile to that construct.

2:54.3

All right?

2:55.0
