There are many churches which have bought into the Critical Race Theory, without understanding it's subtly and how it is creeping into the churches today.
Before we delve into this, I will give a brief summary of what this Critical Race Theory is, and why it is dangerous.
In a nutshell, here is what comprises this erroneous doctrine:
1. Starts off with empathy. I believe this is the very reason why the churches get sucked into this theory.
2. Has erroneous belief system of anthropology as it stands on the premise that all white people are born racists. The Bible teaches that people of all skin colors are born with sinful hearts, but not a specific group of white skinned people being born as racists.
3. Has erroneous belief system of American History. It bases its idea on America being formed in order to forge a Slave nation, built upon the industry of slavery.
4. Believes racism is in the DNA of America. (Obama)
5. Stands on the premise that white people are the oppressors and black people, as well as other marginalized groups, are the oppressed.
6. Believes that systemic racism is embedded in our laws and legal system. Our legal system, for example, is designed to keep the black people oppressed.
7. There is no atonement that can be made to repair the damage done by white people to the black people. But one must continue to try to make atonement. One person even recommends that white people shine the shoes of every black person they encounter. This is supposed to be symbolic of foot washing in the Bible.*
8. Reparations must be made by the white people as they stole land from the Native Americans and stole labor from the African slaves that were used until the Civil War. Thus, the reason for rioting is justified. Supposedly, the black people are taking back what rightfully belongs to them.
9. White people will have to deal with racism until the day they die. They will have to repent of this sin daily and will never be free from it until death.
10. White people have 'white privilege' as well as 'white guilt'. It is hard for a white person to see their sin of racism because of their 'whiteness'.
If you think I am joking about this or making a Babylon Bee article, I will later on post references which will have clips from pastors, well-known people, and others who have bought into this lie.
The 1619 Project is an essay written by Hannah-Jones. From what I understand, it is actually intended to be fictional, yet, schools are using this material to now teach children the History of America with. It has been used in Chicago schools already.
I am basing everything on this page from my studying this subject for the past 3 months. I had not heard of the term, 'Critical Race Theory until recently, and realize that this is just an orderly form of the Social Justice concept that many churches have already embraced.
The reason I am familiar with this subject though, is based upon my observations of mainly young people who are in the church. There are a few older ones too.
If you ever talk to a Millennial about politics, for example, you will feel like both you and the Millennial are talking about 2 different subjects. And let me mention, almost every Millennial aged person, or maybe rather every person in the church 40 and under is in this category.
I have noticed a trend. The people who are sucked into this way of believing have certain characteristics in common. They were originally sucked in by empathy (which is like compassion) and a sense of justice that has been violated, but the lies followed. It was subtle. It has evolved into many turning from Republican to Democrat. That was the puzzling part for me.
If you notice, these people believe that the issue of racism trumps any other issue, period. So, abortion gets put on the shelf. The lie of Trump being a racist is so promoted by the Mainstream Media that these young people have bought into it and many are voting for Biden, simply because they have been led to believe that Trump is a racist. And the only reason for their voting for Biden is to get Trump, the supposed racist, out. They don't care about Biden. They have no idea what he stands for or against. They just believe that Trump is a racist, and racism must go. Period.
Abortion has no weight in this matter. 'The' problem we are dealing with is 'racism' and nothing can change their minds on this.
Voting for Biden is a symptom of the problem, not the cause.
It is interesting to note also, those who make up BLM, for example, are mostly white. This whole concept of Critical Racial Theory is not composed by black people trying to defend themselves and empower themselves. Most of the people promoting this are white, mainly younger people who have been taught to hate America and destroy it.
When surveyed, black people actually do not want to defund the police. The want the security of having a police force around. It's not the black people who are doing this. It is the radical Left political group forming an agenda to destroy America by dividing our country by race, class and whatever else they can use, so they can erase the true history of America and replace is with Socialism.
Simply speaking, the Critical Race Theory is a ploy to destroy America and replace it with Socialism and then Communism.
I have read posts by many of my Facebook friends, not only in America, but all over the world. This thinking is universal. The Mainstream Media has won in promoting its lies and rumors, as well as its justification of hatred.
God has put in all of us a sense of justice. When we come to know the Lord Jesus Christ personally, this sense of justice becomes very clear. But when the premises that underlie the reason for justice are wrong, then people get confused and justice goes awry. And that is what happened with this Critical Race Theory.
America still has enough older people who have good common sense and have been taught American History accurately, that we can still promote the truth. But when the distorted version of anthropology and History are being taught, with empathy and desire to make the supposed sin right, then it gets hard to communicate truth to those who have been erroneously taught.
