They don’t care that Obama had a party while you’re forced to make your toddler wear a mask. They don’t care that BLM rioted while you had to close your business. They don’t care about the masses in the streets celebrating Biden while your lonely teen was on suicide watch.
They don’t care that Newsome partied at the French Laundry while you got the call that your mom died alone in her nursing home. They don’t care that Bowser was hanging w/ Chapelle while you’re wondering how to feed your family w/o the rental income you relied on. They don’t care.
Don’t expect sympathy from Biden or Kamala or Joy Reid or Don Lemon or any of the other calloused, self-important people in the media or in politics. They see the double standard. They see your pain. They do. not. care.
They don’t care that their messaging doesn’t make sense, that they alone are to blame for people’s confusion and hesitancy and frustration, that they enforce rules on you that they never intended to keep, inducing fear in you that they don’t feel. It does not matter to them.

@DavidAFrench You make a lot of good points here, & I can’t speak to the Platt situation, because I don’t know enough about it yet, but a few ways I’d push back on what you write here:

- Disparities don’t automatically = discrimination.
@DavidAFrench If they do, then is discrimination also to blame for an Asian median income that’s higher than whites’? You only compare white vs. black income here & conclude it’s because of past structural racism. Maybe it is, or maybe it’s much more complex.

- America isn’t Israel.
@DavidAFrench I see a lot of right-wingers compare America to Israel, God’s chosen nation. They’re accused of “Christian nationalism” for doing so, & I agree it’s theologically flawed. But I see mods & leftist Christians do the same, but to support their call to modern repentance for past sins

Duke University found that high school boys out-perform the fastest, best adult female runners in the world in every single track event. law.duke.edu/sports/sex-spo…
“there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females.  The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters.”
“...Olympic, World, and U.S.  Champion Allyson Felix’s 400 meters lifetime best of 49.26.  Just in the single year 2017, men and boys around the world outperformed her more than 15,000 times.”

Saying “CRT” or “Marxism” is now a non-starter when trying to explain to Christians the errors in the mainstream narratives about social justice and systemic racism. I think the first task is to explain, without buzz words, why what they’re asserting is simply not based on fact.
& I think the way to do that is to ask before arguing. Ask them for specifics, for data, for clarification, for definitions. Ask them to lay down their buzzwords of “privilege,” “oppression,” “Christian nationalism,” etc just as they’ve demanded you lay down yours. Speak plainly
Keep picking and prodding until you both are really clear about what they’re asserting. Then, if you disagree or can rebut any of their definitions or assertions with truth, do that. I would start with data & logic then move into the Biblical realm, personally.

Let’s talk about justice & Micah 6:8. The word for justice used there is misphat, which is used most frequently in Scripture to mean judgment in the context of criminal procedures, in court cases, sentencing, verdicts. To “do” justice in this verse means to execute, carry out. 1/
Micah is prophesying to a people who had turned to idols and whose leaders were failing to enact God’s misphat. How do we know what God’s justice looks like? He makes it very clear in his law-giving to Israel. 2/
At least 4 characteristics that we see of procedural justice in the OT are 1) truthful (based on fact, evidence, witnesses) 2) impartial (unbiased, no special treatment) 3) direct (impacts those involved in the crime) 4) proportional (punishment fits crime) 3/

I logged on here specifically to respond to this absolutely inane—albeit unsurprising—tweet from narcissistic heretic Raphael Warnock. FIRST OF ALL,
There is nothing more transcendent than the resurrection of the God-man, Jesus. Literally: his resurrection transcends our finite conceptions of science & rationality. That the Word became flesh, dwelt among us, then was slain for our sins only to conquer death 3 days later? 🤯
The irreverent "reverend" thinks Easter is 'bigger' than Jesus's resurrection because he doesn't care about nor believe in its significance. As an advocate of Liberation Theology, he views Jesus as an example in political activism, not as King & Conqueror of sin & death.

The lie of Critical Race Theory—that America is uniquely and pervasively racist and therefore has no authority to criticize other countries—is postmodern, morally relativistic nonsense that empowers evil, colonizing, enslaving empires like China.
Equating China’s crimes and the US’s is an insanity that teaches people here to hate their country and fellow citizens, weakening our resolve to stand for the very values that have always contained regimes like the CCP.
Every part of the culture war of postmodern left—like the redefinitions of both justice and gender—work to make us confused, divided, hateful, and weak. A divided & weak America is very good for the world’s worst countries, and very bad for their victims.
