He's saying that apartheid was good for black South Africans and Jim Crowe was good for black Americans. He is a voice no one should ever pay attention to regarding human relationships.
I suspect this was bound to come up because of the nature of the discussion.
The Dutch Reformed believed the same thing regarding slavery. George Whitfield taught the same about slavery. So I am not really shocked to see it today.
I think that we can all agree that good things come out of bad things (Israel becoming a nation out of the Holocaust; the Christianity spreading out of persecution; and even Christianity spreading to a race out of slavery).
BUT it is one thing to say good things come out of bad things and another to call the bad things good.
That depends. What is your definition of racist? Because to me it means that I value another less than myself according to their skin color. That I deny.
The real systemic racism problem is that propagated by elite racebaiters.
They may or may not be deeply racist, but intentionally incite racism for personal gain.
They have no interest in resolving any race problems, only in creating and intensifying them.
This gives them manipulative power over the masses.
They care nothing for their followers.
They are essentially cult leaders.
Unless they are blatantly exposed and removed, there is little hope; with the MSM and other Dems behind them, there is virtualy none.
