I've spent most of my professional life fighting *actual* theological liberalism. When I see people claiming a "liberal drift" in #SouthernBaptist Convention, or trying to "cancel" some evangelical SBC-ers as "liberals," I'm not sure they even understand their own words. #SBC21
Some of the people now being attacked as allegedly "liberal" SBC-ers are a FAR cry from Foy Valentine. Anyone who wants to claim mantle of the conservative resurgence / inerrantist revolution should at least learn their own history #SBC2021
I mean seriously, when I hear/read some strident voices trying to label/dismiss evangelicals like @drmoore or @KSPrior as scarily "liberal," it makes it sound like those talking have never actually met a real, live theological liberal. #SBC21 #SBC2021

First, Questions:
1. What is your understanding of #CriticalRaceTheory? You never explain that--not in one word of your statement. Instead you say it stems from Marxist or secular thought and that's why you are denouncing it. I find that literally ignorant and ironic. 2/
That #CriticalRaceTheory was born of Marxist thought is ignorant. It came from African-American legal scholars in 1980s post-Civil Rights era. In wake of assassination of Dr. King, scholars like #DerrickBell #PatriciaWilliams examined impact of race on law. #CRT #CriticalRace 3/
