"Should I tell them?"
"No, leave them alone. Posturing white people are really funny."
BET Founder Robert Johnson mocked the cancel culture mob for taking down statues, getting television shows removed, and have professors fired, thinking that’s what African Americans want.
People who are knocking down statues "have the mistaken assumption that black people are sitting around cheering for them saying 'Oh, my God, look at these white people. They're doing something so important to us. They're taking down the statue of a Civil War general who fought for the South," Johnson told Fox News. "You know, black people, in my opinion, black people laugh at white people who do this the same way we laugh at white people who say we got to take off the TV shows."
Referring to these people as “borderline anarchists,” Johnson said their actions will do nothing to “give a kid whose parents can't afford college money to go to college. It's not going to close the labor gap between what white workers are paid and what black workers are paid. And it's not going to take people off welfare or food stamps.”
He also mocked white celebrities for what he described as apologizing for their race in emotional social media speeches.
"You know, that to me is the silliest expression of white privilege that exists in this country. The notion that a celebrity could get on a Twitter feed and say, 'oh, my God, I am so sorry that I am white.’ I don't find any black people getting on Twitter and saying, 'Oh, I'm so sorry I'm black.' And we got the worst problems. ... My thing is: embrace being white and do the right thing."
UPDATE: Case in point. Trinity-Wall Street has more money than some entire countries do. Seems to me that they could do quite a bit more good with it than this pretentious crap.
Trinity Church Wall Street has awarded nearly $7 million in grants to 57 organizations dedicated to ending systemic racism in New York City, and offering alternative models for a new vision of how New Yorkers can reach their potential and thrive.
The 57 grants, approved by Trinity’s Vestry, and announced today range from $50,000 to $300,000 and total $6.86 million, and is Trinity’s largest grant cycle ever. The grantees are working on a range of projects, including ending the school-to-prison pipeline, fighting to end the racist practice of cash bail, re-imagining the city’s approach to affordable housing and lowering the number of households experiencing housing insecurity.
Like what, Johnson? Like, I don't know, putting a few black kids through college? Oh, and $7 million, Trinity? Generous of you. You found that in your sofa cushions, didn't you?

I'm not going to apologize for being born white, and I don't ask anyone else to apologize for how they were born. The idea is ludicrous.
Trinity Wall St. could stop babbling about "systemic racism" and begin supporting programs that would actually help people. First and foremost would be preaching the Gospel. That ought to be Trinity's primary mission. There is no question in any rational mind that crime and drug use are higher in households led by one parent only. Preach Christian morals. If they've got money to throw around, which they do, funding charter schools to serve black children would really help a lot of them.
From their perspective, I guess it beats actually going out and actually doing some actual good in the actual world. But $7 million dollars from Trinity-Freaking Wall Street? For Trinity, that's a rounding error.
Re: "... ending the school-to-prison pipeline,..."
Here's a thought, Trinity. Encourage people - all people, to get married and stay married. Bring your children up in a stable two-parent home, and you'll raise children that are healthier, happier, and more successful in life, than children raised on a one-parent home.
Well, yes, Chris, $7 million to programs they already support, most likely, is pocket change for them.
Amen to all said here. Pretty sure Our Lord would agree with Mr Johnson: embrace how I made you and do the right thing, which doesn’t mean all that virtue-signaling crap. The bail system is racist? Who knew? Maybe black criminals can’t afford bail because idiot leftist policies have kept them poor and dependent on government handouts. And as everyone here knows, we could go on and on.
Sheesh.
