EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and controversial print titled "God Favours Whites (God is on the side of the White Man)" captures a chilling moment in history, depicting the deeply ingrained belief in white supremacy during the era of colonialism. The image, dating back to 1904, shows a man standing proudly with an air of superiority, symbolizing the prevailing notion that God favored those with white skin.
In this historical context, politics and religion were often intertwined to justify oppressive systems of power and control. The idea that God was on the side of the white man served as a dangerous justification for imperialism and exploitation of indigenous peoples around the world.
The stark contrast between light and dark in this photograph serves as a visual representation of racial hierarchy, with whiteness being equated with divine favoritism. This image forces viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about our shared past and challenges us to reflect on how these harmful ideologies continue to impact society today.
As we grapple with ongoing conversations about race, privilege, and justice, it is essential to acknowledge and learn from images like this one. By confronting our collective history head-on, we can work towards building a more equitable future for all people regardless of their skin color or background.
