A pastor of a Megachurch in Atlanta is facing massive criticism from online users after referring to slavery as a divine gift for white people.
According to Pastor Louie Giglio, slavery should be seen as a ‘white blessing’ because through it, the whites got a better world to live in.
While talking to Christian rapper Lecrae and Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy, Giglio argued that the term “white blessing” should replace “white privilege,” because according to him, slavery was a blessing to the whites.
But we miss the blessing of slavery, that it actually built up the framework for the world that white people live in and lived in,” Giglio said.
According to him, white people don’t like it when you tell them slavery was their privilege.
