Yet, in the book, A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal, there is a prayer called “Prayer of a Weary Black Woman” that asks God to “help me to hate white people.”

Dear God,
Please help me to hate white people. Or at least to want to hate them. At least, I want to stop caring about them, individually and collectively. I want to stop caring about their misguided, racist souls, to stop believing that they can be better, that they can stop being racist.

The book, published in February, was a New York Times bestseller.

The offending prayer was written by Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Ph.D. According to her bio, she is a “theologian and psychologist” and “her mission is to serve as a catalyst for healing, justice, and reconciliation.”

So, wanting to hate white people serves that mission? Really?

Is this a joke? Were they originally sarcastic? What kind of lunatic thinks God would help someone HATE another person?

The woman that wrote that doesn't need an help from and deity to hate white people.
From the time she was nursed on her mama's breast she was taught to hate white people.
Any money she was given by loans, by scholarship funds or even if she worked her way through some great liberal college was money wasted.

If she is indeed a PHD , she is an educated moron. Anyone who buys that book has already had that prayer answered.
My problem is with white people who may buy this book and are already self hating morons.
Millions of them in America who voted for Joe and the Ho.

Well she clearly already hates white people.

Admittedly, if you've ever read the Psalms, some of them have vengeance written in them - from having read them all many times, I can only surmise it is written to reveal desperation and grief - and not as it sounds - a plea for God to get even with their enemies.

I'm having a hard time explaining this - it's like that scene in Bruce Almighty where Jennifer Aniston is praying to God that she won't love Jim Carrey anymore - because she can't bear the pain of being in love with him. It's not really in earnest - what she wants is for the PAIN to end, not that she won't care.

But I am not seeing this, here. This is a woman with a PhD asking God to help her hate people and her cavalier description of an entire race of people would sure indicate, she's already there and fooling herself if she thinks she isn't. She already hates millions of people for the color of their skin - she just wants a reason to justify it.

A regular old run of the mill lunatic, nothing special or original. Just a lunatic.

We used to be unaware of these people - they were the guy on the corner with a sandwich board yelling about the end of the world. Now, because of the internet, they are in our face every day. It's impossible to ignore them because all these media outlets give them attention.

PJ Media and Tucker Carlson are the most prolific offenders. I'd be blissfully unaware that any of these people exist, but media I do consume insists on giving them publicity. If it weren't for Tucker I'd never know Brian Stelter or Don Lemon or Chris Cuomo exist, because I don't watch their shows.
