Lecrae on Pastor Giglio Telling Him "White Privilege" Should be Changed to "White Blessing" (Part 1)

Part 2: • Lecrae on Relationship...
--------
In this clip, Lecrae laid out some of the projects he's working on which include another book, a new album, as well as a documentary. He listed some of the features on his forthcoming album and explained how he landed John Legend for the project.
Later, Lecrae talked about the discussion he had with Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy and Pastor Louie Giglio that went awry after Giglio's incendiary suggestion that "white privilege" be changed to "white blessing." Lecrae talked about handling the situation in the moment and how he reacted to the backlash he received for not immediately and aggressively responding to Giglio on-air.

[@kwamd.1461]

KING SocomVet Who are you to call him lukewarm? What if you are lukewarm yourself? Also, the Bible says we should judge righteously. Calling another believer lukewarm is not righteously judging him. The term “lukewarm” was in reference to the church of Laodicea, which is in the book of Revelation, I think. It’s not about trying to do things for God to prove that we are His, but rather it’s the faith that we have in Him that should propel us to do good works. Being lukewarm is believing that your works is going to get you into the kingdom of God, which is not true.

[@k4lsoldier]

K. Darko read again buddy lol.

[@kwamd.1461]

KING SocomVet What you mean by “read again” bro? What’s your definition of lukewarm then? Everything I told you is based off of my research. We take things out of context at times, and we need to be careful with some of the things we’re saying. A lot of people are deceived, and think that they’re preaching and doing all these things for Jesus, when, in actuality, they’re just doing it for their own ego and self-righteousness. Look, we have all fallen short of the glory of God. Our righteousness is as filthy rags before Him. Only God and Jesus can make us righteous, and not ourselves. I hope you take the time to read this brother. God bless, and take care.

I can definitely understand when Lecrae saids "I was shocked, I was caught off guard". Sometimes you don't see stupid idiotic statements coming your way until after they've already smacked you in the face. And you're thinking, did I just hear that right??? Did he say what I think he said???

[@CesarSilva-do8oq]

I don’t think he had to “flip tables”, but articulating and debating ideas allows for a conversation and growth on both sides. That was a good opportunity to add some value and different perspective on the other side of the coin, especially realizing that some of the pastor’s there had one opinion. We can correct with love, debate ideas and still be brothers in Christ at the end of the day.

lecrae did anything for clout. He denied because he's afraid to die in the court of public opinion. Stand up, state your beliefs Lecrae.

Like everything that allowed lecrae to be successful, namely proclaiming Jesus on wax and in interviews, he no longer does on wax or in interviews because he does projects with artists whose fans don't support lecrae's views. You know boldly speaking about injustice and about how some pastors ignore it while preaching prosperity; then remaining silent in front of the pastors and representatives that call good evil and evil good because they are in a position to benefit. You know mainstream like signing with Columbia records that had artists including Lil nas X, Tyga, 50 Cent, and Michael Jackson (channelled nephilim). That kind of mainstream. Just because lecrae got enough money to setup a non-profit or a courtesy group doesn't make make him being lukewarm or a secret agent more palatable. Then again that is what people associate with folks of faith. Silence in $tride once they making money on the ride.

True words

[@IGotOTGame]

A lot of people think they know exactly what they would say or do in these situations and that is so wrong. There are many times where I have reacted exactly how I think I should have, but I look back at so many times where I stood stunned, or taken of guard or just nervous that I regret and wonder why I didn’t say this or that after a racist or misogynistic or unjust statement. We don’t realize that our reactions can also be affected by mood, health/ mental situations we may be dealing with, etc. I even remember being so nervous talking one time that I realized I had not even heard what the person before me said to the same question . That made me even more nervous and I was so scared that maybe I just repeated the same thing or didn’t acknowledge something really important. I don’t care how many times you have stood in front of a crowd, it can still get to you. The blame is entirely on Louie. I am so sick of stupid non apologies. Louie needs to grow a spine, mature and not be terrified of his own audience. Acknowledge your mistake to the fullest and say what is wrong and right. Louie left such a vague non-apology meant to not rock the boat. Even the discussion of slavery was him trying to address a serious problem by not really addressing it.

Lecrae has an identity crisis. If you look at past conversations with "white evangelicals" he speaks proper and educated. But in interviews like this, he switches it up to appeal to his predominantly hip-hop audience, which is mostly black folks. He wants to play both sides to appease them. He boasts about protesting with BLM, but he was once doing apologetics with Ravi Zacharias and "Christian" concerts with Louie Giglio's church (Passion Conference) and had a following with that crowd. Which was predominantly white folks. He claims to not know Louie Giglio very well. But as a Christian myself, trust me, he knows Louie Giglio and Dan Cathy very well. He just folded when the moment called for him to be genuine because he had no time to think out his answer when his back was against the wall. But that shows you where his heart is really at. Christ said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And Lecrae showed it by the words that he spoke.

He compromised his values for the bag. If you look at him you can see it on his face.

Very sad and yet interesting interview. I never liked his music when he first appeared in Christian circles. The cross-over he made really made him fade out of Christian interest. Also, he comes across with the mentality of being a “social justice Christian”. No such thing. No Christian protests law and order. Further, since when are there two audience groups in Christianity? Or more than one audience? There lies the semantics of segregation. Finally, beautiful feet are not of those that just “hang out” with the unrepented. They are actually of those who preach the gospel continually. If he mixes with those crowds, why do they still keep him around? Preaching the gospel will make people uncomfortable because it convicts of sin.

To all the folks in the comment section sharing their bias opinion like I'm going to share mine, you have to realize that from Lecrae's stand point he did the right thing. For having a "intelligent rebuttal", is useless. He was speaking with a person that has their mind made up about life. Which him giving his thoughts on how someone outside his race should view what they say as ignorant is a waste of time. I also do not knock Lecrae for trying to see it from a different perspective in which still you can see by how he expressed the situation it clearly bothered him. Which he said to prove my point, "he should have known better", because of his experience. Lastly I doubt anyone where would be in the position he was in to even address that man in a matter in which could paint "black people" in a postive tone any better then he did by subconsciously remaining in frame. Now with that being said, imma go back to minding my business.

For the record, I personally don’t feel he had to yell and/or scream to simply have that man understand that calling slavery a blessing was just downright wrong and insensitive. Lecrae is a dope artist though and i do understand in the middle of the moment he may have been to taken aback to realize hiw to respond.

It’s bad when a man can’t speak up when it’s time to, yelling at the police and that could have went very bad for him but won’t express yourself to another man because you are to scared to speak up when it’s time! All kinds of excuses for not talking a stand with another man. All he had to do was express his opinion, not flip over a table... we can’t even count on people in position with a so called voice....smh we are in bad shape!!! No wanted you to flip a table over just speak up and counter him with the truth! So If he sit there and call your wife out of her name would you speak up or be caught of guard, we didn’t talk when the camera went off, he gave a hand shake and that was that! Can’t take him seriously. All this talking and had the man face to face. Speak up and you don’t have to flip the table over to do so.

Just focus on Jesus bruh…stop all this social “activism” (aka woke) stuff. As a Christian, you know there’s sin so stop looking at the world’s divisiveness of skin color (i.e., white privilege). If folk act up it’s the result of sin so perhaps just offer the gospel and keep it moving. You used to be my favorite artist, but you’ve been trippin’ as of late with all your fabricated “pro-black” stances. That’s a position no Christian should take. It only divides the body of Christ. It’s 2023, black folk have every opportunity like anyone else in the US and aren’t helpless victims in need of an “advocate” (other than Jesus). 🤦🏽‍♂️ Now, what’s your motive?

In his case it could be sin-related but it could also be because of his ignorance or finiteness. The fact is people say all types of stupid things.

Heff Comedy as a ambassador for the Lord you are tasked with going into the world to make it a better place . How can you reach a new believer if you don’t interact with them? So that being said if you on a football team and half drink and do crazy things, you and the other half don’t . Do you not play football with them and possibly lose your livelihood once you find out? No you show them a better through your actions and by the Word of God. In lacraes case he is compromising himself by participating in secular events, he gives lukewarm answers to not offend ppl on certain issues. By those standards he has been compromised in order to stay and hopefully prosper from the industry. I do not condemn this man because we all have struggles and understand as long as he wrestle against this season in his life. he may later renounce this phase and be a testimony of the temptations and fall backs that help him finish the race strong and obedient.

Lecrae looked scared from the second the video started. I love Lecrae but he needs to do just one thing for me,make sure you know what it is exactly you stand for! Many times you are not to clear on what that is. Don’t get lost in the smoke of it all. Wait hold up what I hear him saying is he didn’t expect to hear such disparities from Louie so he responded reactionary and not realistically as a plain old black man. Act your wage is really a cop out. As a independent black man who is a Christian you need to not allow blatancy. Don’t flip tables but at least be like whoaaa,excuse me not cool right in the moment. I know exactly what happen bc it’s my life. We try to explain things and not come off as angry and black,but then our message isn’t fully heard or understood bc others are so angry at the disrespect they think we are tolerating.

Lol what's wrong with that? We as Christians were never meant to get comfortable here if it's not resting in the word of God and his promises.

But soon he is gonna realize in order to achieve that he has to, as well as me, and we all need to understand that less is truly more. More means selling out... But less forces you to appreciate things more. Brigngs out the things that makes us valuable in the eyes of a God.
