Critical Race Theory. An Introduction.
A worldview/philosophy/attitude that highlights said-to-be “irreconcilable” differences between classes, races, and sexual identities, highlighting oppression and the oppressed, the privileged and the disadvantaged.
Through which to deliberately foster and fuel power struggles and dissension where there is none or where healing of divisions has already taken place or is taking place. To “understand” culture in order to destroy it, to fuel riots and destroy peace.
Emphasising oppression by “privileged” groups against the “oppressed”. Fostering hate speech against the “privileged” group.
And it is being communicated in our universities and teacher’s colleges and school curriculums.
Ultimately Critical Race Theory (CRT) aims to destroy Christianity and the good news of the Gospel, to destroy churches and to destroy God.
SO THAT
(all) men must bow the knee in penitence and subservience before women for the (intrinsic) sexist attitudes (whether displayed or not) and abuse and misogyny and superiority
(all) whites must bow the knee in penitence and subservience to other races and colours for the wrongs committed, when even compassion and service can be seen as condescension and superiority
(all) married people must bow the knee in penitence and subservience for discriminating re marriage as only between male and female
(all) heteronormative people must bow the knee in penitence and subservience to LGBTiQ
(all) the Christian West “civilisation” must bow the knee in penitence and subservience for invading the underprivileged world and oppressing it
(all) missionaries must bow the knee in penitence and subservience for destroying indigenous culture
(all) hard-working, motivated, and successful people must bow the knee in penitence and subservience to all the less fortunate
(all) police must bow the knee in penitence and subservience for their racist attitudes against the disadvantaged
THE GOSPEL
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28.
“Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.” Colossians 3:11.
“For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” 1 Corinthians 12:13.
The Gospel seeks unity, healing, and peace between groups through forgiveness and oneness in Jesus Christ. CRT on the other hand seeks to highlight differences and even to create them where none exist with a view to division, couching them in terms of the oppressed and the oppressor (power and privilege) with the solution being to stoke rebellion, rioting and destruction, including indiscriminate destruction of cultural icons.
And where examples of oppression do and still occur – that need the Gospel and the healing that the gospel brings – to lump all of the group/class/race represented by the oppressive individual together as being at fault and that there is no hope of reconciliation, that the “oppressors” must bow the knee to the oppressed.
We see this worldview/philosophy coming through in some schools with boys (all) at assembly having to kneel and say sorry to the girls (all) or the teacher yelling “sexist” behaviour in the boys changeroom because they were being “rowdy” after a football match, sowing division and conflict – even hatred – where there was none, or at least, very little.
CRT works to shut down any conversation or debate. Even Christians offering gospel forgiveness and healing are oppressors, such offering being seen as accusation and discrimination and hate speech.
The gospel brings healing. CRT creates division, resentment and hate destroying healing that has already occurred. The gospel brings culture change from tribal enmity, head-hunting, and cannibalism so that we have healing – even within the same generation. CRT then alleges indigenous culture has been destroyed.
“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.” Ephesians 2:13-16.
