Truett Seminary endorsing Ibram Kendi by name and some far-left books in links down in this video's description:

clips incoming

Screenshots from a Google Doc promoted in the talk: "This is not something that we put together...there is a way that we can facilitate education where we're not over-burdening our black brothers and sisters who are managing this trauma in the ways that they need to."

"I use Ibram Kendi's definition of racist ideas: that a racist idea is any idea in which a racial group is considered inferior to another racial group in any way, and so when white people benefit from that construction, that's what white supremacy is."

Malcolm Foley

"There hasn't been a period of American history in which racial domestic terrorism has not been a factor of black life."

"Reconciliation requires that there's a peace that we're returning to, and this country has never known actual active racial peace in its entire history...We don't have a model."

"Centuries of terrorism, and I use that word very intentionally, it is a difficult weight to bear."

"If you are a pastor and...you've never confessed of racist ideas personally...that's reason for pause. If you begin now, you must recognize that the time that you spent not talking about...this has left destruction in its wake. People are wounded by past indifference + silence."

A new cosmology:

"If you're a minister in this country...the people that you're ministering to are essentially members of one of three categories: they have either ignored racial trauma, they have caused racial trauma, or they have suffered from racial trauma."

"Pastoral care is the regular and normal work of the minister...It's the discernment of when and what to protest, of how to vote in such a way to support the oppressed, because that's what Christ calls us to."

"if you're in a space where you feel like you have to constantly justify your own existence, let your elders and pastors know, because they ought to respond with repentance...If there's a refusal to engage in this kind of healing as pastoral care...it counts as abuse."

Moderator: You mentioned Kendi + one of his quotes is "The heartbeat of antiracism is confession." Why are we so hesitant to confess?

...

MF: Kendi's work is incredibly important, because it reminds us...it's not the case that racism begins in hate, it begins in self-interest .

Cont'd:

MF: The debate over lynching wasn't a debate over racism. Even segregation wasn't a debate over racism. All the focus on those particular practices overshadowed the underlying disease.

...

Mod: There's freedom in confession, yes, but it's a hard hard walk, for sure.

Edited these clips into a montage. The moderator names the women who put together the crazy Google Doc referenced above, so I looked up their profiles, and uhhhhhhhhhhh

Greg Thompson still ragging on DeYoung:

"For the idea that it's too complicated, we're people that believe in the Trinity...and what we're talking about is a form of cultural accounting for 400 years is too complicated? This is a form of evasion."

Also this is false: "It's simply an arbitrary claim that he is making, that a generation or multiple generations absolves us of obligation. That is biblically and theologically false. He just asserts that. He doesn't defend it."

KDY spent 6 paragraphs, nearly 1,000 words on it

KDY didn't just say that the passage of time erases obligation. Nor did he say that reparations are simply too hard. Let's look at both of those separately (ugh, this is becoming a 🧵)

ANCIENT WOKE PREACHER CLIPS: Dr. Jonathan Tran of Baylor University is talking "white theology," "whiteness," "centering," and more in this ***2009*** lecture (his bio says he joined Baylor in '06) titled "Why Asian American Christianity Has No Future":

"We need to always remember that Christianity isn't Christianity + you Christians don't do amazing things because your expectation is that the world *will* come to an end, but rather...because you believe, in Christ, the world *has* come to an end..."

"To be American is to be racialized...to be understood as a Race-American: African-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American...You would be very hard-pressed to say what exactly it is that makes you Asian-American but you know for certain you are not black, Mexican or white."

2 examples of communal guilt, individual repentance: Numbers 21:4-9 and Acts 2:36-39, 3:17-19, 26.

In both of these cases, collective guilt is declared or implied (“we sinned,” “what shall we do?”), but the solution is a cumulative yet individual repentance.

In the Hebrew for “when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake,” the word for “anyone” is ’îš -- translated elsewhere as “a man,” “each man,” or “one man.” biblehub.com/hebrew/ish_376…

In both Acts 2:38 and 3:26, the Greek is hekastos, again, “each one,” “each of you” or “every one.” biblehub.com/greek/ekastos_…

The Acts 2 passage is particularly important because it is one of the few examples of scripture touching on this topic after the cross + the resurrection.

Found a panel from 2018's PasCon with Jarvis Williams + Matt Hall, made public last November. This is before either of them became controversial, so they're...more at ease, is one way to say it.

Jarvis: "You can have racism operating in a context where there are no individual racists, and that, in part. is the way in which white supremacy works, in a socially sophisticated way."

David Bailey: "In many ways, we can't even fully understand who God is unless we have a multiethnic, multicultural, socio-economically diverse, diverse genders expression of understanding who God is."

World Vision "May We Be One" Session 11

"Race in the U.S. guides, impacts people's lives at almost every level...Certain people who are part of certain groups have certain types of jobs, and people of other racial groups have other types of jobs."

Dr. Korie Little Edwards

At this point, the narrative is so old hat, I'd pay good money to hear what this crowd thinks ISN'T affected by racial determinism.

"Pastors of color have to really deal with people considering them illegitimate authorities...white pastors, that is not something they really have to navigate...They still have to navigate white hegemony...but 1 thing they do have is they're perceived as legitimate authorities."
