Pawned Words and Cultural Firestorms: A Biblical Take on Race, Identity, and Selective Outrage

This originally appeared on Substack.

It hit hard—and the internet hit back.

Now I’m publishing it here for the families who aren’t backing down.

America’s Real Race Problem Isn’t Language—It’s Truth

Proverbs 23:23 — “Buy the truth, and sell it not.”

What happened in Minnesota wasn’t just a viral moment.

It was a cultural x-ray.

A glimpse into the rotten core of a nation obsessed with identity—but allergic to accountability.

Let’s get this straight:

America doesn’t have a language problem.

It has a truth problem.

The Shiloh Hendrix Firestorm

Shiloh Hendrix—a white mother in Minnesota—was filmed confronting a boy she believed stole from her child’s diaper bag.

In the heat of the moment, she used a slur.

Wrong? Yes.

Sin? Yes.

But was it a crime worthy of national doxxing, death threats, and cancellation?

Absolutely not.

Within 24 hours, her name and face were everywhere.

Meanwhile, in the same city, young people are dying from fentanyl and gang violence.

Nobody protests that.

Why? Because this culture doesn’t operate on justice.

It thrives on theater.

How Did We Get Here?

Back up 70 years.

Before the civil rights era, the term “Negro” was standard—even used by MLK in sermons and speeches.

Then came the shift:

• Negro → Black

• Black → Afro-American

• Afro-American → African American

Language evolved—but not to unify.

To control.

Redefine the word, and you redefine the wound.

Keep the wound open, and you can monetize the pain—forever.

The Double Standard Nobody Talks About

Today, in Black culture, the N-word is everywhere:

• In rap songs

• In movie scripts

• In social captions

• In casual conversation

But if a white woman—under stress, in an emotional situation—utters it?

Her life gets burned to the ground.

At the same time, “cracker,” “colonizer,” and worse get thrown around daily with zero consequences.

This isn’t justice.

It’s power politics dressed in moral outrage.

What the Bible Says

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…”

— Isaiah 5:20

God doesn’t play identity games.

He doesn’t excuse one group’s hatred while indicting another.

He doesn’t grade sin on a color scale.

In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek.

There is only righteousness—or rebellion.

But in modern America?

There’s grace for some and guillotines for others.

A Word to Christian Families in 2025

This isn’t just about race.

It’s about the power of speech—and who’s allowed to use it.

If you’re a Bible-believing family, you better be ready to:

• Be slandered

• Be stalked

• Be banned, blocked, and branded

Shiloh Hendrix wasn’t perfect.

But she became a villain because her mistake fit the narrative.

It’s not about what she said.

It’s about who’s “allowed” to say anything at all.

And if you love the Bible—you’re not allowed.

This Is Why We’re Building

We’re not here to go viral.

We’re here to arm the remnant:

• Families raising kids in truth

• Men refusing to bow to the mob

• Women who believe holiness > hashtags

• Churches that still preach repentance

We’re not writing curriculum to be cute.

We’re training families to survive Babylon.

Here’s What You Can Do:

1. Share this post

Let people see through the outrage industrial complex.

2. Fund the mission

Support the Biblical Man movement—because the system is not coming to save you.

3. Train your house

Download the Bible reading plan. Get your kids in Scripture. Shut off the garbage.

The war isn’t just over words.

It’s over your mouth, your mind, and your family.

And we intend to win it.

— Adam, The Biblical Man
