Blonde girl on woke calendar makes church's head explode
WND ^ | 05/31/2023 | Joe Kovacs

A diverse 2024 desk calendar published by a woke Christian church is apparently not woke enough, since the image of a white, blonde-haired girl is displayed at the top of the cover.

Now, the president of the United Church of Christ is issuing a formal apology for featuring the blonde child at the top of a circle of children of various races holding hands, with a Bible quote stating: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

"I write to apologize for the ways in which the most recent edition of the UCC desk calendar failed to live up to our commitments to be an antiracist body," wrote Rev. John C. Dorhauer, the general minister and president of the church.

"It has been brought to my attention that a slight rotation of the cover image in either direction would more accurately reflect the racial equity we seek. I am grateful for such attention to the subtleties of racism and agree.

"I want to thank those of you who took the time to write to me and share your disappointment, your outrage and your commitment to hold us accountable to our promises.

"The cover does not reflect our strong commitment to antiracism. I apologize for that. Seeing how the image on the cover is plainly focused on the blonde-haired person makes it clear to me that there are still ways in which the centering of whiteness remains instantiated in our language, our art and our culture.

Well, here’s the deal. You can be Christian or woke, but not both.

The problem is that this church does not hate white people as much as it should. But they have now seen the error of their ways and will make a bigger effort to hate white people.

For many liberal cucks, devotion to their woke religion means hating white people.

"...a slight rotation of the cover image in either direction would more accurately reflect the racial equity we seek"

So, you truly want to be not obsessed with race and attain perfect racial equity, you now have to measure the rotation of our images.

"Let's see, three degrees counterclockwise would be perfect."

"No, I think we need 4 degrees."

"Can we compromise on 3.5 degrees?"

"Ah, yes! That's it!! Racial perfection!!"

Clearly, the “ president of the United Church of Christ” is a frigging idiot.

And a libtard apparatchik as well.

The UCC in my town is the most liberal fag-friendly of all, even outdoing the Methodists. They have the rainbow insignia and messages on their electronic and other signs all the time and all but beg queers to attend/join.

In that case, they are not a true Christian church.

About ten years ago, I got into a heated argument with faculty members in my college department, arguing that the teaching of CRT and “white privilege” would lead to discrimination against whites and, yes, hatred of whites. They accused me of overreacting and that such things would never happen.

Well, here we are.

So they are mortified because the TOP picture was the White blonde woman. They are sick in the head.

This shows what they think of Whitey. They want his money, and they want him to bow down in worship to non-Whiteys, his new masters.

Let’s see. 2 blacks...5 whites and 1 slightly tanned mulatto or hispanic maybe who knows for sure. No Asians that I can see or pacific islanders or native americans and on and on it goes. The insanity that is.

I’m still wondering how 15% of the population gets to dictate to the other 85%.
Lgbqwerty=2%
Blacks=13%
