SHOCK VIDEO! Danny Akin Is Problematic - A Woke Perspective

I stand here before you, literally shaking, literally

shaking at the racism and the prejudice and the bigotry

that still exists in our churches.

You ask for evidence, I will give you evidence, sir.

This is a man, it just triggers me even to look at him.

This is a man who many say is an ally, many say he's a social justice warrior,

and yet even in his speech, even in the videos where he's

supposedly on our side, he still does things that are so damaging,

so hurtful.

I'm going to play it, I'm going to be strong, be strong, be strong, I'm going to be strong and

play you what I just heard, what has me shaking to the core.

And I'm going to stand here and speak truth to power.

Just listen.

Listen.

One of the things I will point out is that none of us is a blank slate when it comes to

interpreting the Bible.

We all come to the Bible with a particular perspective, presuppositions, a

particular worldview.

And I will say something like this, Danny Akin cannot help the fact that he comes to the Bible as

a white male married who comes from the deep south, who has rock

solid convictions and commitments about the supernatural worldview, about the inerrancy and

infallibility of the Bible, and who is committed to orthodox Christianity and

finds his own worldview in terms of theology well reflected in the

Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

Just stop right there.

Stop right there.

Do you see how he's framed this?

Do you see?

Can you hear?

Are your eyes opened?

Is your heart opened?

See how he's framed this?

He's a white male.

He's a white male deep southerner.

And what is he associating whiteness and maleness and southerness,

what is he associating it with?

Orthodoxy, rock solid beliefs, faith, the supernatural worldview, all of those

good things.

That's what he's associating whiteness with, the truth of orthodoxy, the gospel.

That's what he associates with whiteness and maleness.

Now, what do you think he's going to associate bad theology with and

evil with?

Just wait.

You see, if you're already woke, you know what he's going to do.

You already know.

But those of you who say, oh, there is no racism out there, you're going to learn today.

The abstract of principles, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood

and Womanhood, and the Nashville Statement on Gender and Gender Identity.

And so I said, I'm so sorry, I should have trigger warned you, those statements,

knowledge.

That that's who I am.

I suspect that I read the Bible differently than, say, a

lesbian woman of a different

ethnicity who lives up in the Northwest and is committed to a pantheistic

worldview way of thinking.

Stop right there, Danny Akin, sir, please try to look at this from a perspective of

compassion and empathy and sympathy.

This is, this is, this is what we're talking about.

What does he identify?

So, so whiteness being from the South or is orthodox.

It's good.

It's, it's right.

It's right.

White is right, is what he's saying.

And then when he starts to think, what are the, what are the things that are, are totally wrong?

What are the categories that I, that I, that I know that this is the opposite of a Christian worldview?

What, what does he think of?

He thinks of pantheism, yes, definitely a, not, not a good theology.

That's bad.

That's evil.

Yes.

He thinks of lesbians are, are, are sexual minorities.

That's the worst thing he can think of is a lesbian, female,

female, and a person of color, a different ethnicity.

This is racist.

This is xenophobic.

He also talks about they're from the Northwest up there, xenophobia, racism, bigotry,

sexism, and on top of everything, on top of everything,

homophobic.

This is the problem.

This is what, if you need, if you need evidence, look no further than this video.

It's almost too triggering to even think about anymore.

I don't want to have to do the, the, the, the mental, the mental labor, the mental work, the suffering

to show you, to explain to you how problematic this is.

You see in Danny Akin's heart, he's about, I can't even watch it.

I urge you to watch the clip.

I can't even watch it.

He's about to make the statement, well, the whiteness is right, maleness is right,

orthodoxy is right, and unorthodoxy is lesbian, female,

and let's just face it, he doesn't want to say it, but I'll just say it for him, and black.

That's what's wrong with the world.

And Danny Akin is what's right with the world.

And if you think I'm kidding, just watch the rest of this clip.

He will say that you'll come together and you'll talk, and then maybe you'll change your mind.

Well, maybe it's your mind, Danny Akin, that needs to be changed.

Maybe it's your heart that needs to be changed.

Maybe you should have a little sympathy, have a little empathy for the lesbian woman

from the Northwest who believes in pantheism and who's black.

Try to see it from her shoes, what you've just done here.

You've othered her.

You've othered her.

I'm sorry.

I have to stop.

I have to stop.

I hope you found this video helpful and encouraging, and I hope that you get the

care that you need after seeing this triggering video.

Have a good weekend.

You know, I was thinking that, you know, if only we would be in such a better situation if only they had an

N95 mask, eyeglasses, an N95 mask and disinfectant spray

for the plague of white supremacy.

Where's my white supremacy N95 mask?

Where are my protective goggles for racists and bigots?

Where's my hand sanitizer for the misogynists of the world?
