@albertmohler I am concerned over Resolution 9 On Critical Race Theory & Intersectionality. Dr. Mohler I’m pleading with u to speak against this resolution. Yesterday at the Baptist 21 Panel you said, “Critical Race Theory is toxic.” I’m glad you take this stance on this issue /1
Please as u have faithfully lead @sbts lead our convention away from this toxic ideology. Speak on the floor against this Resolution. Your influence as the President of our largest seminary will influence our convention to not give into this Marxist ideology and stay true... /2
...to a biblical anthropology. This resolution states: /3
WHEREAS, Critical race theory and intersectionality alone are insufficient to diagnose and redress the root causes of the social ills that they identify, which result from sin, yet these analytical tools can aid in evaluating a variety of human experiences.” /4
“RESOLVED, That critical race theory and intersectionality should only be employed as analytical tools subordinate to Scripture—not as transcendent ideological frameworks,” /5

Apparently whoever wrote Resolution 9 in this year’s #SBC19 needs a serious education on what Critical Race Theory ACTUALLY is. Since I am a proud graduate of @LibertyLaw, allow me to educate them.

The resolution states, “Critical race theory is a set of ...
...analytical tools that explain how race has and continues to function in society.”

This is like saying, “Hitler’s gas chambers were just science experiments.”

CRT is the racist branch of what is known as Critical Legal Studies, which emerged in the last 50 years...
CLS is, “the name given to a group of scholars who wrote about legal theory using ideas associated with Left politics and who tried to use law, legal education, or writings about the law to effect Left results.” Bix, Brian H., Jurisprudence: Theory and Context. p.237...

I'll write up my complete thoughts on the #SBC19 resolution on Critical Race Theory/Intersectionality tonight, but -for now- I wanted to make a quick comment to fellow conservatives who feel it doesn't go far enough in explicitly repudiating these fields. 1/
As @RealPatSawyer and I have said repeatedly in our writings, CRT does contain elements of truth. Therefore, it's unecessary and unwise to 'repudiate' it in its entirety. Do we want to repudiate CRT's insistence that "the historical concept of 'race' is a social construct"? 2/
People have commented that the language of CRT being 'appropriated' by people with unbiblical ideologies is incorrect. I agree. I think it's more accurate to say that CRT/intersectionality is a set of tools 'developed' within the framework of unbibilcal ideologies. 3/

Not all #TeamRhetoric and #RhetComp folks are engaged in prison education/activism, but the banned books at Danville prison should be of serious concern to our field, and not just because our friends John Sloop, Ralph Cintron, @rmhoward and @riouxpipes have books on that list. 1/
The books removed from the @ejpillinois shelves reveals that prison censorship is rooted in anxiety over rhetorical savvy, in/sincerity, and access in a deliberative democracy. This censorship is one (of many!) mechanisms protecting white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy. 2/
Sound familiar? It should. This hand-wringing over the potential for rhetoric to be used for nefarious purposes has accompanied its teaching since the sophists showed up in Athens, slinging arête to folks outside the aristocracy (as long as they could pay). 3/

I am half joking here. The most obvious way to stop an idea or dissent from spreading is to define someone "mentally ill" (the very idea of mental illness is a poltical not scientific construct.) or ignore them until they go away.
The influence of NED (CIA) & the State Dept is obvious and the evidence is recorded through the guests and events held. Too many activists who rely on Koch funding and those heavily invested in respectability politics will ignore the topic but never offer information to the
contrary, Even when the funding and the associations of people like intelligence asset Vera Kichanova and the credibilty of Yeonmi Park were called into question, activists, libertarian journalists and think tank fellows did no further investigation. They want it to be true..

The most fundamental diff b/t critical race theory & Christianity is the motivation & goal of reconciliation. CRT is motivated by intellectual awareness & it’s goal is to topple corrupt power dynamics. Christian activism is motivated by love & it’s goal is Kingdom advancement.
There is no hope in CRT without “wokeness”. In Christianity, hope doesn’t come thru how much someone knows about systemic racism, it comes thru the reality that Christians have the Hooy Spirit & are being empowered by God to love.

Christians in public square have 3 duties. Compelled by love, they:

1. Engage the world with the source of their blindness. (Physical & metaphysical)

2. Explain pervasiveness of blindness. (Physical & metaphysical)

3. Explain cure for their blindness. (Physical & metaphysical)

Ok, imma explain this one time for all the TRAs in the back:
Comparing black women to males is racist even in the name of “progressivism”, stop using us as props in your braindead arguments already.
Black women have been likened and compared to males for CENTURIES as a way to dehumanize us, to portray us as hyper masculine and unfeeling beasts of burden. This lil “simile” comes all the way from the plantation.
Womanhood, especially BLACK womanhood, is not an identity or feeling. It is a biological reality that was the basis on which my foremothers were raped and forced to bear children like factory farm cattle.
