This gross bitch actually said “anti-whiteness is not anti-white.”
This shit just keeps getting goofier.
A Church of England archdeacon has called for “anti-whiteness”, in comments which have been criticised as divisive.
The Ven Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeacon of Liverpool, also called for people to “smash the patriarchy” but insisted her comments were “not anti-white, or anti-men”.
Her statement prompted an angry reaction, with one person asking if it would be “safe to attend church” if Dr Threlfall-Holmes “holds racial prejudice against white people”.
Just weeks ago, the church announced it would be hiring a “deconstructing whiteness” officer as part of a new 11-person “racial justice unit” being set up by the Diocese of Birmingham.
Senior clergy have also faced criticism for calling for the church’s £100 million slavery reparations fund to be increased to £1 billion.
Dr Threlfall-Holmes wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “I went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender.
“So yes, let’s have anti-whiteness, and let’s smash the patriarchy. That’s not anti-white, or anti-men, it’s anti-oppression.”
In response, users of X suggested that if the Cambridge-educated priest wanted “anti-whiteness” then she should “lead by example and resign”.
…
Her words were criticised as “divisive” and “nonsensical” and one user said it would appear she had “given up Christianity to join a new and sinister cult”.

Dr Threlfall-Holmes, who was appointed archdeacon last year, also holds a role advising church leaders on implanting safeguarding reforms.
Last October she revealed she was attending a conference on “waking up to and addressing whiteness in the Anglican church”.
The day-long “Racial Justice Conference” in Birmingham was organised by Reconciliation Initiatives, a charity working in partnership with Coventry Cathedral to help churches “contribute to reconciliation in wider society”.
The aims of the conference included: “To encourage white participants to take next steps in facing their own whiteness, and in addressing institutional racism within Anglican churches and provinces.”
The charity also runs a four-week “Being White” course aimed at clergy and lay members who “identify racially as white” to help them address “the ways we are caught up in a system of white superiority and white advantage in UK society”.
This is not about brown people or even really about whites. It’s about destroying Christianity, making it even more of a joke.
It is maybe about hurting white people, but everyone is already doing this same bit in the media and all over the place. No one is going to take this woman seriously, what they are going to do is take the church even less seriously.
Very excited to be contacted by a local vaccination centre asking for my and other keyworkers contact details in case there is spare vaccine at the end of a day after no-shows etc. Would be great to have the vaccine! I’ve barely left the house for 9 months!
