The Tweet Heard Around the World: Explained, Defended, Vindicated, and What it Means to the Church

Greetings and welcome to The Dividing Line. My name is James White, and it has been a very, very interesting few days for me, anyways, given on Saturday morning I posted a tweet on Twitter that has gotten a lot of attention, let's just say, over the past few days, and I want to, need to talk about that today on the program.

It has been educational, but not always enjoyable by any stretch of the imagination. I want to start off with a video, actually, and I did unplug and replug, so hopefully we're okay over there. What? So you don't have it.

We really should practice these things before getting started. And now I have nothing. And you have nothing. That's not good. So we may just have to listen to it if we can't play anything. Well, I've got a lot of stuff that I need to show today.

Should have practiced this beforehand. Sorry, folks. Well, this will be the fourth time, so if it's not going to work now, it's not going to work, and I don't think you're able to reset over there. So we're sort of, well, I'll just have to read stuff for you.

I won't be able to show you. Oh, that's, I even made a presentation. Well, this is not starting off well by any stretch of the imagination, but we will just have to do what we have to do. So I will just do my best to read for you and play for you and do stuff like that, and we'll just figure it out from there.

The PragerU Video on Black Community Pathologies

So I want to play for you, and you can just look at me watching it play. What I think is a very important video from Prager University, and it addresses a lot of the issues that are important in analyzing what we're facing today in our culture and in the Church as a whole.

And so let me just go ahead and play this, and like I said, I wish you could see it, but we can't do that today. So here is the audio.

What are the five biggest issues facing blacks in America? Here's my list. Problem number five, the victim mentality. Nothing holds someone back more than seeing himself as a victim. Why? Because the victim is not responsible for his situation.

Everything is someone else's fault, and the victim sees little chance of improving his life. How can he get ahead if someone is holding him back? All this makes the victim unhappy, frustrated, and angry.

This is how too many blacks see themselves, as victims. So much so that their victim status becomes their primary identity and their ruling ideology. I call it victimology. Unfortunately, many black churches preach this victimology.

Many black parents pass it on to their children, inner city schools teach it to their students, and the black media reinforce it. Meanwhile, the NAACP and other black grievance groups fundraise on it.

Problem number four, lack of diversity. Blacks repeatedly demand an honest dialogue or debate about race. But how can there ever be an honest dialogue about race between blacks and whites when there is virtually no honest dialogue between blacks and blacks?

It's hypocritical. And if a black doesn't think whites are ultimately responsible for black people's problems, they're labeled a sellout, Uncle Tom, or race traitor. As long as this type of groupthink exists, race reverence of the Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson type will continue to be celebrated while independent black thinkers such as Professors Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams will be shunned.

The honest race dialogue and debate that first has to happen is not between blacks and whites, but between blacks and blacks. We demand diversity from others, but need to practice it ourselves where it really matters, in thought, opinion, and even political affiliation.

Problem number three, urban terrorism. As just about everyone knows, but too few talk about publicly, in majority black cities, violent black-on-black crime is rampant. A Department of Justice study from 1980 through 2008 revealed that blacks accounted for almost half of the nation's homicide victims, 47 .4%, and more than half of the offenders, 52 .4%, all while being 13 of America's population.

The Tuskegee Institute conducted a study of all known lynchings of blacks that occurred between 1882 through 1968. During this 86-year span, which is essentially the post-Civil War era up to the Civil Rights era, 3 ,446 blacks were reportedly lynched.

Presently, black-on-black murder eclipses the number of blacks lynched over the course of 80 years, roughly every six months. Unbelievably, the culpability for this disproportionate amount of mayhem actually lies with the menacing 2 -3 minority within the black populace.

I call them urban terrorists, and since they are literally spawned from problem number two, the black community protects them. Problem number two, proliferation of baby mamas. The disintegration of the nuclear family has led to an astronomical increase of single-mother households.

According to the Moynihan Report, in 1965, nearly 25 of black children were born to unwed mothers. The report's author, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, said this was a disaster in the making. He was, of course, vilified by so-called black leaders and their progressive allies.

But he was right. Today, the out-of-wedlock birth rate is nearly 75%, and even higher in some urban areas. To be clear, baby daddies share this responsibility with baby mamas. Yet, while baby daddies are blamed and rarely shown compassion, baby mamas are rarely blamed and receive both compassion and support.

This lopsided dynamic and the previously listed pathologies stem directly from the number one problem facing the black community. Problem number one, unquestioning allegiance to so-called progressive policies.

Unwavering loyalty to progressive liberal policies is the primary reason these dire conditions persist. It both makes them possible and perpetuates them. It's no coincidence that progressivism is the common thread that binds predominantly black cities where single-parent homes, failing schools, rampant poverty, and crime predominate.

Look at cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. They've been run by progressive Democrats for decades. If their liberal policies were at all effective, these cities should have become models of economic growth and prosperity.

Instead, they're models of dysfunction. By fostering and exploiting the victim mentality, discouraging self-examination, subsidizing baby mamas, and making excuses for black thugs, so-called progressive policies don't alleviate the problems that afflict the black community.

They aggravate those problems. You may have noticed that racism did not make the list. Why not? It's simple. There will be no solution to the problems afflicting black America until more blacks recognize that the issues plaguing our community are ultimately self-inflicted.

Does racism exist? Sure. But there are other problems far more serious. And waiting until there are no more races will mean waiting and making excuses forever. I'm Talib Starks for Prager University.

Why the Video Matters for Culture and the Church

Now, if you simply move forward from where he stopped, because that was not a theological analysis. By Common Grace puts its finger on all sorts of important things. It puts its finger on the groupthink.

The fact that studies have shown that over the past number of years, 92 -98 voting record unanimity. You have the group where you're not allowed to think differently. And we've watched it. He gave some terms that are used for black people who dare to stand up and say, Hey, these are the things we need to be looking at.

And do not follow the narrative that has been fed into the community by the leftists, by the progressivists. And we know the other terms. Just a few months ago was Dr. Anthony Bradley of King's College.

Referred to black men who would not repeat and parrot the narrative as Oreos. Dr. Eric Mason at, was that the Martin Luther King 50 or the T4G? I forget which one. They're so close together. Talked about people who are black on the outside, white on the inside.

There are other terms that are used regularly. Just yesterday, I saw a scholar attacking Samuel Say. Saying that he's self-loathing, that he hates his people for daring to say what he said in his article.

Which, again, was just simply an honest identification of the problems. And so, when you have this narrative, where basically your faithfulness to your community is determined by how faithfully you repeat what you are being told to repeat, you can only go, you can't answer, finally, what drives that without some kind of a theological answer.

Over the past couple of days, about five or six people that I've seen, I've blocked so many people and muted so many people that I'm sure there are more, but a number of people have attempted to accuse me of inconsistency.

Well, I've been accused of a lot of things. We'll get to some of those. But, on the one hand, in the many responses that I wrote, and I did not back down this weekend. I did not leave Twitter. Eventually, I got to the point where after saying the same thing the third or fourth time, I demurred from repeating it yet again and again and again.

But I did not back down, because this is not an issue upon which you can back down without compromising core principles. Not only principles of freedom and liberty and exercising those things, but within the Christian community of just simply standing on principle of what the gospel means and what sin is.

And, of course, demanding that your fellow believers don't think with the mind of the world, but think with the mind of Christ. There's that issue that we'll get to later on. But the point is that something like this particular presentation can only go so far.

There is a theological aspect that Christians should recognize is primary to anything else. And I was accused by various people of being inconsistent, because on the theological realm, I said, look, there's only one race.

There's the human race. And we shouldn't give in to the kind of divisive thinking that allows for the discussion of black spaces and white spaces and Chinese spaces and Hispanic spaces and all the rest of this spaces stuff.

It's really getting spacey. We didn't even use these terms just a few years ago, and now it's all over the place. Anyway, but then, on the other hand, I've already used the term black community. Well, you're being inconsistent!

Throughout this weekend, I have been reminded of the necessity over and over again of thinking in clear, logical categories. Having the theological commitment that there is only one race has nothing to do with the fact that, for example, the statistics we just listened to in that audio presentation, those statistics were derived from governmental sources or non-governmental sources based upon the analysis of ethnic groups.

I can't change how statistics are gathered. I have to utilize them. And in this situation, culturally in the United States and in Western cultures as a whole, we have to deal with the reality that there is a black community.

It is not absolutely unified, but when it votes 92 -98 the same way, there is a black community. There is an expected behavior and expected worldview. And when you go against that, when you go against the narrative, that's when you get called a race traitor or an Oreo or whatever else it might be.

As I said this weekend, there is no corresponding white community. I've been called a racist, falsely, by many people by redefining the term racism, but no one has come up with, what's the reverse of vanilla Oreo?

There just isn't anything there. There is no expectation that I, as a white person, am going to buy one particular narrative. There's all sorts of narratives that are presented that nothing, you know, would in no way, shape, or form press upon me to go a particular perspective.

But there is in the black community. There is in the black community. All you have to do is look how is Clarence Thomas treated? How is Thomas Sowell treated? What kind of language is used of individuals like that?

Or even in the Christian community. We saw Votie Balcom thrown under a bus at the T4G meeting last year. Thrown under the bus. And why? Because he dared to bring a biblical perspective to the question of what had happened.

In Ferguson. So, one of the big issues here is one of the things I think we have seen. I have for a long time said that our primary commitment as Christians is to our identity in Jesus Christ, our identity as redeemed sinners.

And that that identity utterly overrides any other relationship in this world. That this is absolutely vital. We must see this. And so, when you listen to what has been happening, what we've seen is that there are many people who call themselves Christians who absolutely insist that their membership in the black community overrides and is definitional of their membership in the Christian community.

So, there have been a number of black brothers and sisters who have simply dismissed me as a Christian for daring to write a single tweet that is factual and logical. No one, over the past three and a half days, has even come close to disputing anything that I said.

Nothing. And I've engaged people. I've engaged people and tried to get them to reason. You can read it. The record is out there. Until it gets deleted by Twitter, I would assume. It's out there. And yet, for many people, my even daring to address the issue was sufficient to overthrow the gospel of Jesus Christ.

So, what's the ultimate commitment for those individuals? Where is their ultimate identity? It is in the ethnic group. Not in the Church. Not in Christ. It's in that ethnic group. And that's an extremely troubling issue.

That's an extremely troubling reality. That has been illustrated over and over and over again. Now, so, I had seen that particular video. And then, as you may know, over, well, just last week, I directed everybody to an excellent, excellent, excellent article I praised it highly because it had to have been very, very difficult to write.

It's very well written. And it was Samuel Say's article, Our Fathers Are Failures. And when you read this particular article, you are faced with certain realities. This article was still fresh on my mind when on Saturday morning, I was just doing some reading and I ran across a particular statistic.

It prompted a recollection of what Samuel had said and that's what led to the tweet. So, let me remind you of some of the things that Samuel said because I think it's important. Samuel, in talking about his own experience of fatherlessness and not having ever known his father and having only seen a picture of his father when his father was the same age he was, started talking about his own experience.

It was a tough article to read and must have been much harder to write. He writes, Children raised in single-parent households are 20 times more likely to develop behavioral problems, 9 times more likely to not graduate from high school, and 2 times more likely to engage in early sexual activity than children raised in two-parent households.

Children raised in single-mother households generally receive less attention and discipline than children raised in two-parent households. That inevitably creates behavioral, educational, and economic disparities between people raised in two-parent households and people raised in single-parent households.

And this explains the disparities between black Americans and white Americans, black Canadians and white Canadians. That's what was so insightful and useful about Samuel's article is that he's not American.

He lives in Canada. And Canada does not have our history. And he goes through some of that discussion in the article. I won't have time to read that. America and Canada do not share the same history, particularly concerning black people.

In fact, they share strikingly different histories. But its black citizens share the same challenges. Social justice groups in these nations maintain that these challenges are produced by systemic racism.

But that's an extraordinary claim without extraordinary evidence. Now, I would suggest to you that we're getting to the point where even Samuel Say, who is black, fully black, even Samuel Say, is running up against the border of being able to even question the social justice narrative in social media in our societies today.

The freedom to even question that narrative is disappearing. It's disappearing quickly. He says, All indications suggest that these nations are not oppressing black people. Black fathers are. Only 23 of black children are born to unmarried black women compared to only 29 of white children born to white women.

Now, one of the constant... It has been a study in the perversion of rationality to listen to responses that have been provided to myself and to the few others who have joined on the front lines of this particular subject over the weekend.

It has been a study in how to twist truth, how to read into things and basically to just say you don't have the right to not use our narrative. You must say what we say. And so, there are a lot of people that are really good at posting entire tweets or Facebook articles of irrelevant observations.

Let's just be honest. This is the essence of our political debate and discussion in our day. I listen to the current Democratic candidates and when someone actually asks them a serious question, the answer will drive anyone who is trained in logic or rationality or history insane.

They know about how long they should talk, about how long their answer should be, about how many words it should have. Whether those words have anything to do with the question, whether they're rational, logical, coherent or anything.

Elizabeth Warren, oh my goodness! Ask her almost any question and the answer you will get back will never have anything to do with what you actually said. Because many people go, wow, that was just brilliant.

It sounded wonderful. Well, it depends on what you think wonderful sounds like. If words strung together are wonderful to you, great. If you're actually looking for something that demonstrates meaningful worldview analysis, it ain't going to happen.

So, so much of the time, the pushback was not factual. The pushback was not relevant. But the pushback felt good. It was emotionally satisfying. It used words and maybe even sometimes numbers, but didn't have anything to do with the reality.

So, one of the things that was said all the time, you're just saying black people are more evil than white people. Over and over. You're such a racist. Facebook, Twitter, you're just a racist. You're disgusting.

You're vile. Let's get you blocked. Attack him. The mob formed almost instantly. And it was a mob. It was not a group of thoughtful people. It was a mob. And mobs are not thoughtful. Mobs don't care about truth.

Mobs don't care about history. And in this case, mobs don't care anything about that. Oh, they may say they do, but mobs don't care. They can't care. It's the very essence of mob behavior. And oh, they will come after you.

You're just saying that white people are better than black people. There is an acknowledged, I'm not just reading Samuel's article, I'll get to another one from the Wall Street Journal. There are hundreds, nay, thousands of articles available right now to anyone with the temerity to filter through all the garbage, because there's lots of garbage articles, too.

I mean, that's the Internet. But there is so much substantiation of the reality of the existence of this statistical anomaly regarding abortion, fatherlessness, baby mamas, the destruction of the nuclear family, and how there is an anomaly in the black experience in the United States and Canada.

It's a reality. It's a fact. And we're actually getting to the point in our society and in the church where you can't say anything about that. If you say anything about that, it doesn't matter what color you are.

You're either a racist or an Oreo. That's the response. It's a mob response. It's an emotional response. It's a slanderous response. But it's the only response the other side has because the highest priority that has been adopted by these people is the continuation of the narrative.

The narrative they have been convinced is absolutely central to the continuation of their community. And therefore, any questioning of the narrative is automatically to be rejected and to be vilified, to be attacked.

The mob will get you, as I have now discovered. So, I can read a black man saying, in America, 73 of black children are born to unmarried black women compared to only 29 of white children born to white women.

And what people hear is not the fact. And instead of sitting back and going, why might that be? What are the factors involved? What are the issues involved? It's, you terrible, you disgusting slime ball of a person.

That's sort of kind for some of the things I was called this weekend. You terrible, horrible person. Now, that is not a rational response. That is an irrational response. And if our society gets to the point where everything is irrationality, our society is absolutely doomed.

Just start looking for someplace else to move. I don't know where. But this is a fact. You can ignore facts. You can rage at facts. You can get angry at facts. My suggestion to you is that if facts anger you, you are not a mature adult.

You're not a mature adult. When we were kids, if our favorite team lost, we'd get, we'd get angry and we'd get, we'd throw a fit and you'd get down on the ground and shake your hands and your legs and cry.

And there's supposed to be a time when you grow out of that. It's a fact. They lost. Well, this is a fact. Deal with it. There will be no solutions and all the people, including Christians, we're the only solution is government.

Government. Government. Let that huge concentration of sinners handle it. Government. If there's going to be a solution, it's going to deal with mankind as he is. And it's going to come from the gospel.

But you have to be able to identify the issues first. When we're dealing with Muslims, I make sure to teach people all around the world what the barriers to the presentation of the gospel are in dealing with Muslims.

There are certain barriers that always come up, sometimes a combination, sometimes singly. We need to know what the barriers are to stopping the Holocaust of black babies. We need to know what the barriers are.

If we're not even allowed to talk about them, then what you're doing, whether you want to do it or not, is you're promulgating. You're prolonging the destruction of those innocent human babies. That's what you're doing.

You may not intend to do it. You may think, you may, maybe all you ever hear is just social justice, critical theory, intersectionality, which has been all over this, including from Christians. The vast majority of the criticism that has come for even daring to address this has assumed the validity of critical theory and intersectionality.

If you want to know how deeply that has now infected the church, just look at my Twitter feed and you might say, a number of those people have never read James Cone. That's right, they haven't, but the professors of their pastors did.

And so, it has filtered down to them and it has become a part of the way that they think. We're just, guys, we're too, we're late to this dance. We are real late to this dance. It's already so much a part of the system that, hey, God can change anything.

Christ can subdue any nation, but most of the time he does that, he does that through judgment. So, anyway, goodness, please, you want, what? Sure, that's fine. Rich is attempting to do computer surgery on the other side.

And I'm glad you told me because if I was trying to read when you did that, it has blanked out a few times when you've done that. So, as it did just now, so if I was in the middle of a sentence that would be like, nothing?

Let me try it on this side. You had it when? Yeah, well, it's gone? Okay. Well, we tried. All right. Now, let me go back. Sorry. I started to try to write down all the things that I need to get to today and I realized that just simply wasn't going to happen and I am going to forget a number of really important things that I wanted to say today.

So, I can't guarantee really, really, really good organization at all, but, anyway. So, 73 to 29%, despite all evidence and logic, social justice groups suggest otherwise. They claim that all disparities, including even disparities between the number of black children raised by single parent households and the number of white children raised by single parent households, are the ramifications of past and present systemic racism in America today.

If that, however, is true, how, then, do we explain the nearly identical disparities between black Americans and white Americans to black Canadians and white Canadians? They didn't have a civil war and they didn't have slavery.

They didn't have the antebellum and postbellum self, did they? No. It goes on to say, and though only a rare population of black Canadians are descendant of black Canadian or black American slaves, socioeconomic disparities between black Canadians and black Americans are nearly identical.

In America, black men earn 30 less than white men. In Canada, second generation black men earn 28 less than white men. In America, though black students are only 24 of the students in southern states, they represent 50 of expelled students.

In Canada, though black students are only 12 of students in Toronto, they represent 48 of expelled students. In America, though black people are only 13 of the population, they represent 23 of the people killed by police officers and they represent 33 of prison inmates.

In Canada, though black people make up only 9 of the population of Toronto, they make up 70 of the people killed by police officers in the city and though black Canadians are only 3 of the Canadian population, they represent 9 of the nation's prison inmates.

In other words, disparities between black Canadians and white Canadians are identical and, in some specific cases, worse than disparities between black Americans and white Americans. Systemic racism isn't the common denominator in these nations.

The glaring common denominator and underlying factor for racial disparities in these nations are the universally high number of black children raised by single mothers in these nations. For instance, in Canada, 46 of black children under 14 years old live in single parent households compared to just 18 of other children under 14 years old who live in single parent households and in Britain, 59 of Caribbean Britons and 44 of African Britons are raised by single parents compared to just 22 of white Britons.

You seeing something here? These are the facts. And these are the facts that were running through my mind when I saw a discussion of the likelihood of a woman receiving an abortion. And that a black woman was 3 .5 times more likely to seek out an abortion than a white woman in the United States.

Now, it's going to vary from place to place. Where there are very, very few abortions, the numbers are going to be different. But you average it out over from coast to coast and everything in between.

So, I thought about that and there is an obvious and documented connection between unmarried women who become pregnant and married women who become pregnant. Now, it's horrific to think of the fact that married couples, that a married man will bring his wife to murder their unborn child.

But, that happens at a much lower rate than an unmarried woman coming to murder the unborn child. So, you have legitimate children who are being murdered and illegitimate children. I know we're not supposed to use those terms anymore, but they are necessary and meaningful.

So, obviously, therefore, there is a direct connection between the abortion rate and these other issues, especially fatherlessness, baby mamas, and the whole concept of the covenant of marriage. So, here is the tweet, and I wish I could put it up, but I'll read it to you very carefully.

Here is the tweet that started it all. 7 .52 AM. Isn't that pretty close to the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor? Somewhere around there. A date which will live in infamy. Yeah. Here it is. Quote. Which is more likely to be the central cause for the fact that black women are 3 .5x, 3 .5 times, more likely to kill their unborn children?

1. Fundamentally rebellious sexual ethics, fatherlessness, and sexual license. 2. Slavery from 160 years ago. Period. Now, given that within, that I saw this happening within 24 hours and big time, big time, within 36 hours of posting this, I began to see something very, very interesting taking place.

And what I saw taking place was the morphing of what I had said into something completely different. At least initially when people were actually responding to the tweet, there was almost like a need to at least pretend that you're responding to what's there.

But once there were a couple of tweet generations, what do you call them? I don't know. We're dealing with new territory here in comparison to the history of the world. Once there were a few steps, then all of a sudden people seemed to be willing to start just completely changing what it is I said.

I had to keep saying, could you go back and read the original tweet? Can you substantiate what you just said from what I actually wrote? And they couldn't. I can't tell you how many people I challenged over and over again who simply failed en toto to engage in any kind of defense of their criticism of what was said.

But let's listen to exactly what was said. Which is more likely to be the central cause? Central cause. That means there can be other factors involved? I purposefully brought up in the following discussion the reality that planned parenthood has targeted in a vile, racist, eugenically oriented, disgusting fashion.

The fact that that organization gets a dime of taxpayer money is blood on the hands of this nation that will bring judgment. And we had two years where the Republicans were in charge of both houses and the presidency and they couldn't even stop it.

Planned parenthood owns too many people. Owns them. And so I brought up yes, of course, one of the factors involved is the disgusting targeting of the black community by planned parenthood. And I don't know why, people, there are not hundreds of black Christians outside of every single stinking abortuary that planned parenthood has in a black neighborhood every day calling for it to shut down.

Of course that's true. But can you really say that planned parenthood is the central cause? Planned parenthood doesn't force a black man and a black woman who are not married to fornicate with one another.

They're not putting a gun to somebody's head. They want to encourage it. They want to encourage it with their sex education and their provision of free, quote-unquote, birth control, which includes abortion these days.

And you bet, but they're not forcing that to happen. That is a man wanting to fulfill his sexual desires without commitment. That's a woman doing the same thing. And planned parenthood did not force them to do that.

And it is amazing to me how much of this, the term, and again, I first heard it, Votey Balcom, he used it just a few months ago, I heard him, the soft bigotry of lowered expectations. The soft bigotry of lowered expectations.

It was amazing how many people who were calling me the racist actually had at the back of their argumentation the idea that, well, you know, they're blacks. I mean, they've been targeted and they're poor and therefore they just do this type of thing.

Really? You don't hear what you're saying? I mean, some of the black women while calling me a racist were actually giving clear demonstration that they've bought into the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.

And, I sat right here when we had Votey Balcom on and he explained ethnic Gnosticism, and I've seen it every few minutes over this weekend. You can't know, you can't talk about it until you've lived in the hood.

You can't, oh, you just don't know until you've been there. Ethnic Gnosticism is everywhere and it's a part of intersectionality. Critical theory and intersectionality is everywhere. Everywhere now. It's astonishing.

Including amongst Christians. It's just simply a given amongst non-believers. But it's becoming a given amongst Christians as well. And my friends, critical theory at its root is a fundamental denial of the purposes and intentions of the creator himself.

It is poisonous. It is not a neutral analytical tool, Southern Baptists. It's poisonous at its root. And to see it being imbibed and then employed as a weapon. So, the question was intended to help people think through what we're hearing these days.

Because, whether you know it or not, there are people who do specifically make the argument. They specifically make the argument that what we're seeing today, the broken family, and of course our society, our society is trying to completely redefine the family.

Have you noticed something? They don't make a lot of progress in the black community. There's good common sense there. It's normally white folks that are doing that kind of silly stuff. But, people knowing that they shouldn't be doing what they were doing, do it anyways.

Fatherlessness, baby mamas, no commitment in sexual activity. Is that... And people said, you're just so insensitive. 280 characters. And people wanted somehow... And this is really just a veiled way of saying you shouldn't talk about this.

Just... Let us deal with this. Well, how's that going? How's critical theory and intersectionality go? How's that working out? Going to be all fixed soon, right? No? That's really what it was all about.

You're just the wrong color, wrong age, don't want to hear from you. Okay. But you should be more sensitive, you see. You should be more sensitive to offending people for whatever reason. Adults are only offended by things that should be offensive, that are based upon a meaningful, moral, and ethical framework.

This perpetual outrage that we experience today is not for mature adults. It's certainly not for Christians. But you should be more sensitive. So, you should have a higher priority of offending people's feelings than the deaths of those babies and the destruction of the women's lives that comes with it.

Gotcha! That's why I said to a bunch of people, think on what you're saying. Think about what you're saying. Don't just go with the flow. Don't just go with the group. This group think is absolutely destructive.

So, the central cause for the fact that black women are 3 .5 more likely to kill their unborn children, and so when I said fundamentally rebellious sexual ethics, they automatically said, oh, you're just talking about black women.

I'm talking about the community. Especially since the next word is fatherlessness. That doesn't have anything to do. I still believe only men can be fathers and only women can be mothers. Okay? Let's...

It was... It was bad enough... It was bad enough that this nuclear bomb of a tweet tied together ethnicity and abortion. Wow! Let's not bring transgenderism into this or the entire universe will melt down.

It's done. We just can't go there. So, I was talking about the community. I was talking about the community. The community that exists for lots of different reasons. And if you want to trace the origin of the community back to at least having something to do with slavery, I would agree.

Because the community had to come together for survival. Especially after... after the emancipation. So, I would agree. The community... But you see, that happens with any minority. There are always minority communities when you are a minority.

But what has happened... And this is where... Thankfully, it did come out and I hope... I have been contacted by a few people who have expressed their thanks not only for standing firm, but seeing what's going on here and learning from it.

But... There are... To make the slavery argument, you have to be able to trace direct causation through history. The reality is, at the beginning of the last century, the black family was in good shape.

The black family looked like other minority groups in the United States. Chinese, for example. Irish. Similar numbers. The nuclear family had not been destroyed. So, if slavery of necessity destroys the nuclear family, it should have destroyed the nuclear family 50 years after it ended, not 150 years after it ended.

You have to explain why if it didn't destroy the nuclear family 50 years afterwards, it started to 90 years afterwards. Or 100 years afterwards. There's a huge barrier to that argumentation. The second barrier to that argumentation comes from Samuel Say's article.

You have the same situation going on in Canada without slavery. So, are you literally saying that in the American situation, slavery is the central cause for the fact that black women are 3 .5 times more likely to kill their unborn children?

Though you cannot trace it through the earlier part of the century because it didn't have that effect then here in the United States, and you have to come up with a completely different explanation for Canada because there wasn't any slavery there to be the straight-through cause.

That's two barriers. I challenged, I can't tell you how many people I challenged in that. Not a one of them. Every single one of them just went and spun off into, this over here, and that over there. They collapsed.

Talking with a woman last night. Went woke last year. Challenged her on that. That was about the level of the response. No response. There is no response. And that was the purpose of the tweet. That was the purpose of the tweet.
