"When you...stay silent, when you push back + say things like 'all lives matter,' and when right now more than 12 million people are being persecuted because of the color of their skin...Christ follower, you have missed the point."

Yasmin Roohi, Silicon Valley's CenterSet Church
<Lest anyone assume otherwise, "All Lives Matter" is cringe and I have never uttered, typed, or written it anywhere unless quoting others>
"Until black lives matter, all lives can't matter. They simply don't matter."

"When I look at Jesus, his humility says: I want what's right over being right."
Ali Roohi: "25 years ago another African-American by the name of Michael Jackson wrote a song that said 'They don't even care about us.' The song was so controversial about racial injustice...trying to talk about the the great MLK that his music video was banned from TV."
Er, no, the controversy wasn't about Martin Luther King Jr, it was about a slur against Jewish people...
Racism = "Defending the advantages whites have because of the subordinate position of racial minorities in the same way that this man w/ the shriveled hand [Mark 3:1-6] is in church + no one is helping him + there's a systematic way to label and push him aside + marginalize him."
And here it is, the bottom line: "The church has given close to $4,000 to two initiatives: Be The Bridge..."
Be the Bridge, founded by Latasha Morrison, who nods approvingly as her struggle sessions get compared to Robin DiAngelo's...

Esau McCaulley: I think there's emerging a division within evangelicalism...not a theological division between liberal + conservative.

Also Esau McCaulley: "Any heresy will do" for young Christians who "know in their heart" socjus is right but want people to tell them it's bad.
WPC, noticing heresy hunters since 2020...
"When the flames of Pentecost came down...one response was to say they were just drunk...'They're just cultural Marxists. They're just SJWs'...That is the same things they did at Pentecost, where they used what they can see as an interpretive lens to dismiss what was going on."

"We want a job for every black person in America for the next 100 years. And the government can do it. We want child care for every parent who's African-American for the next 100 years. We want free health care for every black American for the next 100 years."

Rev. James T Meeks
"I'll know that you're saved when you start talking about reparations. I'll know that you're saved when you start saying and acknowledging that negro people should be paid back."

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 🧵)

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."

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."
