This week conscious rapper Lecrae stunned his fan base after sitting in silence and even nodding in agreement while pastor Louie Giglio rebranded "white privilege" with the term "white blessing."
Lecrae clarifies his stance...
It all started after a video clip with Lecrae, Pastor Giglio and Chik-fil-A CEO Dan Kathy circulated with Giglio explaining why he prefers the term 'white blessing to white privilege' in regard to the vestiges of slavery.
