The difference between slavery and hurt feelings isn’t complicated. Unless you’re trying to control people.

There was a time in America when racism wasn’t a debate. It was a reality written in blood and law. Our ancestors knew exactly what it meant because they lived under its boot. Slavery wasn’t a microaggression; it was the literal ownership of human beings created in God’s image. Jim Crow wasn’t “systemic bias.” It was state-sanctioned humiliation designed to crush the soul of an entire people.

Those men and women who endured the lash, who drank from “colored” fountains, who couldn’t vote or own property, faced real racism. They didn’t have to define it or debate it. They bled under it.

But in 2025, we’ve taken that sacred word, forged in the furnace of genuine oppression, and turned it into a political toy. We’ve weaponized the suffering of our forefathers to silence anyone who dares speak truth about the mess we’ve made of the freedom they died to give us.

The Great Redefinition

Here’s what racism used to mean: the systematic dehumanization of people based on the color of their skin. Legal slavery. Enforced segregation. State-sponsored violence.

Here’s what it means now: anything that makes certain people uncomfortable about their choices.

This isn’t progress. It’s sabotage. And the people doing the sabotaging aren’t wearing white hoods. They’re wearing degrees from Ivy League schools and speaking at conferences about “social justice.”

Scripture says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20). That’s exactly what we’re watching. Truth has become hate. Accountability has become oppression.

Culture Is Not Color

Let me be crystal clear: your skin color is not your culture. God gave you your ethnicity: your heritage, your family line, the beautiful diversity of His creation. But culture? Culture is what we choose. Culture is what we build.

And some of what we’ve built needs to be torn down.

Hip-hop culture has poisoned an entire generation. Violence as virtue. Drugs as lifestyle. Women as objects. Materialism as salvation. Fatherlessness as normal.

When “WAP” gets called female empowerment while fathers get called optional, we’ve lost our minds. When looting gets called reparations while personal responsibility gets called white supremacy, we’ve lost our souls.

But here’s the trap: criticize any of this destruction, and you’ll immediately be labeled racist. Not by white supremacists, but by the very people claiming to love Black America. They’ve made it impossible to save our communities by calling rescue efforts racism.

The Victimhood Industry

There’s a whole industry built on keeping black people angry, dependent, and pointing fingers at everyone except the mirror. These poverty pimps have figured out that actual progress would put them out of business.

Facts are racist. Point out that 70% of black children are born into fatherless homes? Racist. Mention that school choice could save kids from failing schools? Racist.

Standards are racist. Expect excellence? Racist. Demand accountability? Racist.

They’ve created a system where the only acceptable black person is a victim: forever angry, forever dependent, forever blaming everyone else for problems that require personal solutions.

Dishonoring the Dead

You want to know what real disrespect looks like? It’s taking the word that described the hell our ancestors endured and using it to silence anyone who wants to clean up the mess in our communities.

Frederick Douglass didn’t escape slavery so his descendants could call math racist. Harriet Tubman didn’t risk her life so future generations could claim that expecting fathers to stay home is white supremacy. Booker T. Washington didn’t build Tuskegee with his own hands so we could teach our children that hard work is oppression.

These giants of faith and courage fought against real racism: laws that said we weren’t human, systems that said we couldn’t learn, governments that said we didn’t belong. They would weep to see their sacrifice cheapened by people who call criticism “oppression” and accountability “hate.”

We’re not honoring their legacy by playing victim. We’re spitting on their graves.

The Biblical Standard

Scripture doesn’t give anyone immunity from truth. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). That includes every culture, every people group, every community.

Love tells the truth. “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become mature” (Ephesians 4:15). If you love someone, you don’t lie to them about their destructive choices.

Partiality is sin. “If you show partiality, you are committing sin” (James 2:9). That works both ways—white against black, black against white, or any other ethnic division.

The Bible has solutions for broken communities: strong fathers, faithful mothers, hard work, personal responsibility, and dependence on God rather than government. These aren’t white values or black values. They’re biblical values.

The Way Forward

Real racism exists. It’s called human sinfulness, and it infects every heart. But the answer isn’t to expand the definition until it becomes meaningless. The answer is to return to biblical truth about human dignity and personal responsibility.

We need to stop letting poverty pimps define our terms. We need to stop being afraid of being called names by people who profit from our dysfunction. We need to start caring more about the next generation than about the opinions of activists who’ve never built anything.

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you uncomfortable. Our ancestors understood that. They chose temporary discomfort for permanent freedom. They chose hard truth over comfortable lies.

Conclusion: Choose Your Racism

Here’s your choice, black America: you can keep playing dress-up racism, calling every uncomfortable truth an attack on your identity. You can keep letting race hustlers use your pain to build their platforms.

Or you can honor the real struggle by rejecting the fake one. You can stop confusing culture with color. You can start demanding excellence instead of excuses. You can build the communities our forefathers dreamed of.

Our ancestors faced real racism and overcame it with faith, courage, and determination. The least we can do is face fake racism and call it what it is: a lie designed to keep us trapped in the very bondage they died to break.

It’s time to stop playing dress-up and start growing up.
