Poll of the Day > White Cops are shown WASHING Black People's FEET as a sign of LOVE and HUMILITY

(+) Yeah! (+)

White Police officers and some community members gathered around the square to wash the FEET of Black FAITH LEADERS in North Carolina, echoing the Biblical story of how Jesus wash his disciples feet!!

They gathered for a unity march in Cary despite the summer heat to protest over the killing of George Floyd as the officers said the event was a sign to show "love and humility"

Members of Legacy Church Centre led by Faith Wokoma and her husband, Soboma helped organize the unity prayer walk where people gathered for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to mark how long Officer Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck before he died.

As part of the "Washing of the Feet"ceremony, 3 white officeers knelt down and 3 other white community members were seen washing the feet of the 2 pastors

Photos and videos were shared on social media showing the group of pastors sitting at a bench and praying with their white peers and knelt in prayer with buckets to wash their feet as it is a religious rite observed by Christian denominations based of Jesus Christ's commandment that his followers should watch one another's feet following his example of humility and love

Facebook users praised the event and called it a powerful display of what reconciliation looks like and how racial healing starts

Faith and Soboma said they were inspired to create this peaceful rally so people can father to have open discussions as they look through civil rights history and don't want it to be a white, black, asian church but for everyone to come together

Lori Bush who is a town councilwoman said it started with a true recognition of the history of abuse, violence and systemic racism by saying the names of those who died and said this is the time to start demanding change and not let another death go unjust.

Do you actually believe something will change after this?.

Hmm

If they're washing a black priest's feet emulating Jesus, aren't they just implying that the black man is a mere disciple of the religion he leads and worships the white guys washing his feet? Bit fucked up, no?
---

I think it's weird as I wouldn't want my feet washed by other people, but as they say, you do you

---

Fucking pathetic

Lol

I mean, jesus did it to show that he wasn't better than his disciples

As a black person I must say. THIS DOES NOT HELP AT ALL!

It is so pointless it actually pisses me off, that THIS is suppose to mean something.

Black people can wash their own damn feet, they don't need apologies or cops crying about how sorry they were, or group hugs and prayer circles. Here is what we need.

1. Stop killing Black people who are not a threat to you or others
2. Stop pissing your pants thinking everyone with Dark Skin is a threat.
3. Fire cops who kill or brutalize non-violent people.
4. Fire cops who PROTECT cops who kill or brutalize non-violent people.
5. Better training and hiring so the so these tragedies don't happen in the first place.

ANYTHING else is bullshit. I don't want "symbolic" gestures, I want real action.

I don't care how sorry they are for the past, I need them to be better NOW!

If there is a religious reasons for this....I could understand that. White and Black Christians getting together practicing their faith in relation to current issues, sure...weird, but 'sure'...

But if these are Twitter idiots hyped up on whatever is trending, ...I can't help but laugh my ass off.

JFL at white people simping for the black race

---

Duckbear posting a positive story about Christians? Wow.

religion is fuckin weird

Call me crazy but I think there is a high probability these arent the same cops doing stuff on your list.
Its just a kind gesture.

Things are going to change, I'm hopeful and confidant about that, but churchy rituals that don't actually address any of the issues at hand are no substitute for the legal reform that this country has so desperately needed for so many decades.

Then we should be washing their feet.

I say again. I don't need pointless gestures, I need real actions.

Would these cops report their partner if he crossed the line? If Yes. Great, I need nothing from them but to keep on doing what they're doing? If No. Then that's the problem and I need them to change.

Can we just not be racially targeted?

You guys can keep this shit.

bunch of cucks and simps really

There is no God.

Don't care much for feetwashing but it's really concerning that almost 50% of the votes in this poll are in full support of the police. like wtf

pretty sure there is some lonely nerd with a bunch of alts voting in these topics about the protests. if not, PotD is even more garbage than it was before the protests

Oh no, the general public who never interacts with the police has no problem with it. Who wudda thunk it?

they should suck their toes

You don't have to interact with someone to know they're probably not always right. Supporting the police 100% means you don't think anything they are currently doing is wrong.

Looks like they are forced

black police showing off for the white cop

Not too different from when Mr Rodgers put his feet into a pool with the black police officer on the show like 500 years ago.

This is extremely different from that lol

It's a duckbear topic so i honestly didn't even read it.

Religion aside, this is just weird to me.

All citizens should be equal under the law. If they wash the feet of a few they should wash the feet of everyone and not single them out on the basis of race. Isn't this the sort of behavior that people are protesting?

---

At the very least, for the gesture to have any semblance of meaning at all, it should be the common layman getting their feet washed rather than religious leaders exclusively. After all, it's not the clergy that the cops have wronged (brutally, bloodily, unapologetically, repeatedly), it's not even just the victims themselves, it's everyone, entire communities suffer when one of their own are victimized, worst of all by the people who are suppose to be preventing such things.

Its not an action of repentance, its an action of humility

How can people purposefully humiliate themselves like that? I'd rather drop dead than do that.

Yes, because washing feet always fixes problems. We should wash global warming's feet next.
