Christian rapper Lecrae sat down with the hosts of radio show, The Morning Hustle, to talk about the kerfuffle that transpired when he was witness to a conversation with christian leaders, where a prominent white pastor tried to re-brand the phrase “white privilege” as “white blessing.”
I’m not in a good head space, I’ll be honest with you because I was just on the streets the night before after Rayshard had gotten murdered,” he said recounting the protests that spurred up in Atlanta over the killing of the 27-year-old man.
“Lowkey, the slavery part I didn’t really hear,” he said explaining that he was somewhat zoned out, but tuned back in when he heard the phrase “white blessing.”
“In my brain I’m just thinking, we talking to all these white people who don’t understand, so let me just try to like course correct it, help y’all understand what this is.
“The problem is, I centered myself around talking to half a million white people instead of thinking about the Black folks who are voiceless and needed me to represent them in that moment.”
