President Obama and Rich, White Males

The greed of rich, white males [the Wall Street/Big Bank types] caused the 2008 Great Recession.  Obama turned to rich, white males to keep the Recession from turning into the Great Depression which would have ravaged us all, rich and poor alike.  And it might have taken ten years to recover from a depression.  These Wall Street experts succeeded -- sort of.  The rich recovered and are back on top of things.

But, according to the secular prophet, Matthew Stewart, the top 10 percent are thriving in 2018 at the expense of the rest of us -- the 90 percent -- who are stagnating or declining.  [The Atlantic June 2018]

Next I would like to quote Peter Beinart. [The Atlantic December 2018]:

"In 2008, Obama raised more cash from the financial, insurance, and real-estate industries than his Republican opponent, John McCain did.  Once in office, he named former investment bankers to serve as three of his first four chiefs of staff."

Why would President Obama ever turn to rich, white males for help?  For several hundred years, at least as far back as the founding fathers, it was rich, white males [think slavery and segregation] who oppressed and traumatized his ancestors.  Instead of hiring rich, white males, he should have had them all executed.

All of the founding fathers were rich, white males, some of them also slave holders.  In addition to the terrible trinity of the rich, and white and male, the founding fathers added religion [deism] and culture [Anglo-Saxon] to this demonic trinity; thereby sanctifying social evil.

The trinity of rich and white and male was bad, very evil, but worst of all the American church neglected justice and the love of God, ignored the five hundred fifty-five references to oppression in the OT, dejusticised the English NT.  These theological sins allowed the ethnocentrism and oppression of rich, white males to dominate America.  The white American church has extreme guilt on its back; it has enabled rich, white males free reign and they have engaged in brutal ethnocentrism and oppression on a lavish scale.

On December 11, 2018 on CBS morning news, I watched Paulson, Bernake, and Geithner--the three rich, white males, who at the request of President Obama guided the nation through its "recovery" from the 2008 recession.  To their credit, these three rich, white males were instrumental in preventing a disastrous depression.

For the rich, the recovery was robust.  Not for the rest of us however; not for the other 90 percent.  We live in economic stagnation or decline.

In 2018, the top 10 percent are thriving.  The overall economic growth figures look good, but only because the rich twist all the normal measures of economic growth.  From 2008-2018 income and wealth and equality has exploded; meaning the gap between the rich and the poor is worse than ever.
You may have your own name for what has happened in the last ten years.  I call rich, white males the terrible trinity, or ethnocentrism and oppression incarnated, or demonic duo plus one.  Avoid rich, white males like the plague!!  They are a plague!!  They turn a supposed democracy into a semi-dictatorship run by the rich.

To sanitize this evil, they invented and misused the following phrases:

"American Exceptionalism","Manifest Destiny", "Christian Nation", "Democracy"

If you want to see a similar phenomenon in the OT read Jeremiah 6:13 & 14 plus chapter 7.
