re: White people washing feet of black people and asking for forgiveness...

Thanks for the kind words, The Dudes Car .

I 100% understand your sentiment.
It’s definitely not a practice in which someone should ever be pressured into engaging—on either side.

It’s a deeply meaningful action; and if a person doesn’t voluntarily view it for the reason it’s intended, s/he should never take part in it.

For the record, here’s the rationale:

In the gospel of John, there is a story of Jesus washing each of His disciple’s feet at the Last Supper. John 13:1–17 mentions Jesus performing this act. Specifically, in verses 13:14–17, He instructs them:

14 “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”
