- 00:00
- All right, we are ready to begin our next session, so please come in and find your seat again All right
- 00:11
- Darrell just shared with me that they did get their design guy back with some of the t -shirts and stuff for the build black better This has established
- 00:20
- Kootenai Community Church 2022 right below it So we're gonna get a commission off of everything
- 00:28
- I think All right Our next session is the Marxist eschatology of CRT part 2
- 00:34
- Darrell Harrison. Oh Okay, there.
- 00:45
- He is I was just about to ask what Virgil is because I really appreciate Virgil what he said towards the latter part of his message
- 00:58
- Man Yeah, see y 'all about to see what happens off off mic
- 01:05
- What you don't hear recorded on the episodes when we when we release an episode what you guys don't hear the blooper stuff, right?
- 01:12
- Right V, but what I appreciate what Virgil did towards the end of his message Especially not only at the end, but especially at the end is where he just he just hammered
- 01:22
- He just continued to reiterate that the gospel is a solution. The gospel is a solution You heard me mention yesterday
- 01:30
- That there's only two Attitudes that you and I can have towards one another and I said that in the context of my rejection of this idea of Racial reconciliation.
- 01:41
- It's a non sequitur. It's a non starter. It's an absolute oxymoron You heard
- 01:46
- Virgil sort of Reiterate that in his message that he just finished with but the idea of racial reconciliation is a non sequitur
- 01:55
- It just doesn't make sense and I made the point yesterday that biblically speaking There are only two attitudes that you and I could have towards one another
- 02:03
- That is I either love you or I hate you You either love me or you hate me
- 02:08
- There's no room for these isms and all these phobias and all these other types of terms
- 02:13
- That subjectively describe what the Bible clearly says. It's fundamentally a sin issue
- 02:20
- This is exactly what you just heard Virgil articulate here. Just a few moments ago and I brought my
- 02:27
- Bible up here with me on this occasion because I want you to understand in what biblical context and what
- 02:34
- Scriptural context it is But I can make such a claim that there are only two attitudes that you and I can have towards one about one another
- 02:41
- That's either love or hate so if you have your Bible with you I want you to turn with me to 1st
- 02:46
- John chapter 2 1st John chapter 2 and I want and I'm gonna
- 02:52
- Refer you to about three verses here in this epistle of 1st John and as we're right as we're reading these verses together these passages together.
- 03:00
- I want you to hone in Okay, we're about to have like a 60 -second Bible study lesson here.
- 03:06
- I want you to hone in on How often you see the words love and hate used you don't see isms?
- 03:14
- You don't see anything like that. You see the words love and hate. So let's look at 1st John chapter 2 I'm reading from the non non -American
- 03:21
- Standard Bible. Well, yeah The New American Standard translation is what I'm reading from 1st
- 03:26
- John chapter 2 verse 9 1st John chapter 2 verse 9
- 03:32
- The one who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now
- 03:40
- Verse 10 the one who loves his brother abides in the light and there is no cause for stumbling in him verse 11 but the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness and does not know where he is going
- 03:56
- Because the darkness has blinded his eyes. Do you see the language there the language of love versus hate?
- 04:03
- Turn over to 1st John chapter 3 1st
- 04:12
- John chapter 3 Verse 4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness and sin is lawlessness
- 04:21
- Now let me stop right there again because you recall yesterday one of the questions we had in the Q &A Someone asked well, why doesn't the
- 04:29
- Bible? Why doesn't the New Testament speak directly against slavery? And I told you
- 04:34
- I said no it does speak directly against slavery. And here's one example Whoever practices sin
- 04:41
- Also practices lawlessness and sin is lawlessness I don't care what the manifestation of the sin is if you're practicing a sin the
- 04:50
- Bible addresses that Verse 6 of 1st
- 04:56
- John 3 no one who abides in him practices sin So what should you what should you tell a brother or sister who you know who is starting to embrace?
- 05:09
- the lies of critical race theory and Liberation theology and deconstructionism
- 05:15
- What should you tell them? Well, if you profess to be a believer 1st
- 05:21
- John 3 4 You're obviously not reflecting that in your life in the way you live
- 05:29
- Going on in 1st John 3 6 no one who abides in him sins That is to say no one who abides in Christ practices sin as a way of life habitually
- 05:41
- Okay, we know from 1st John 3 9 let's go there lest I be misunderstood
- 05:48
- No one who was born of God practices sin Because his seed that is
- 05:55
- God seed abides in him and he cannot sin that is he cannot practice sin
- 06:00
- Because he is born of God So people say well all the time what you can't tell if a person's saved or not
- 06:08
- Yes, you can It says it right here It says it right here
- 06:14
- Do you know someone who professes to be a Christian that you you see by outward evidence of their life that they're practicing sin in their life
- 06:21
- That person is not a believer because it says right here They can't be a believer because the person who was professes to be born again who the person was truly regenerate
- 06:31
- He cannot practice it. He does not practice sin because he can't so the one who says well
- 06:45
- Like Virgil gave the example, you know, you got a grandfather out there He's got these old old soldier jokes from World War two and he just hangs on to him
- 06:53
- He just kind of spit some out every now and then you know, what should I tell him? You taking the first John say grandpa?
- 07:03
- You're a sinner and you need to confess you're sick You need to repent
- 07:10
- You need to repent of these jokes that you're telling because why? Because Ephesians 431 you don't have to turn there.
- 07:17
- I'm gonna turn there real quick Ephesians 431 says this It says let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you
- 07:28
- Along with all malice be kind to one another Tender -hearted forgiving each other just as God in Christ also has forgiven you
- 07:37
- So the answers are in the Word of God It's just a matter of us being students of it so that we know where to go to see it
- 07:48
- One last passage for you stay in first John 3 and go to verse 13 first John 3 13
- 08:00
- Do not be surprised brethren if the world hates you we know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brethren
- 08:08
- He who does not love abides in death verse 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer and you know that no murderer
- 08:20
- Has eternal life abiding in him So again, you see the language of love versus hate love versus hate
- 08:30
- I Either love you or I hate you. Those are the only two attitudes you and I can have towards one another
- 08:38
- No one's a racist. He hates his brother. That's the point
- 08:44
- I'm trying to make here And what I'm doing is trying to reaffirming a point I gave you yesterday is we have to start using biblical vernacular.
- 08:52
- We have to use biblical terms It's not that the person is a racist. It's that the person hates the other person
- 09:00
- So if you just stay if you just stay settled on the fact that someone's a racist What that leaves you open to is temporal worldly solutions to a problem that Virgil just articulated only the gospel can solve
- 09:18
- Well, we need to set up this Commission on race We need to set up this panel.
- 09:24
- We need to integrate this DEI program at work. No Uh -uh, you need to be born again.
- 09:33
- That's your problem It's no different as I alluded to yesterday.
- 09:39
- My wife and I do biblical counseling back in LA It's no different than a husband or a wife who commits adultery
- 09:48
- They didn't have an affair They committed adultery that's what the
- 09:53
- Bible calls it No, you will never see in this book from cover to cover adultery being referred to as an affair
- 10:03
- David didn't have an affair with that. She Committed adultery so we have to reject and refuse the vernacular of the world.
- 10:14
- No one's a racist He hates you. She hates him Okay, sermon's over.
- 10:22
- I need to get my notes here. So That's Virgil's fault Virgil just laid that on my heart
- 10:28
- So like I said, I was about to get Pentecostal down and start doing my thing man So I posed the question to you yesterday and I asked you how did we get here?
- 10:42
- How is it that Virgil and I ended up in Idaho really is the question Jim called
- 10:51
- How did we get here though? Fundamentally, this is this is the question. This is why Virgil and I are in Idaho right now in Kootenai Community Church How did we get here?
- 11:03
- Dr. Elizabeth Lash Quinn Brother came up to me during the break and asked us for If we had a list of books and that we refer to people and I'm like, of course, yeah, we got books
- 11:16
- So on my website if you go to my web my blog site at deacon Darrell calm in the search field just search for Selected readings put in the search field selected readings
- 11:28
- And it'll take you to in a short blog post that has a link to a PDF Of a list of 140 books from my personal library that you can take a look at Okay, the books it's not a ranking.
- 11:43
- They're referenced by number, but you'll have a list of 140 titles and the author
- 11:49
- So if you're interested this book is on the list So just go to deacon Darrell calm put in the search field.
- 11:55
- That's the word deacon de a co n d a r r e l l Calm search for selected readings and it will bring up that post
- 12:04
- But to help us answer the question of how we got here Dr. Elizabeth Lash Quinn She is professor of history at the
- 12:14
- Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York Dr.
- 12:21
- Elizabeth Lash Quinn has written a book titled race experts subtitled how racial etiquette sensitivity training and new -age therapy hijacked the civil rights revolution
- 12:34
- In that book she answers that question this way the question of how we got here
- 12:40
- Quoting from dr. Elizabeth Lash Quinn Out of the maelstrom of the 1960s rose an army of race experts whose ministrations unintentionally helped prolong old racial tensions and foster new misunderstandings and anxieties
- 12:59
- The interpretations of our racial situation offered by these experts stand in the way of our adjustment to an integrated
- 13:07
- America understandably enlivened by the real revolution that civil rights brought to this country and by the implications that revolution for a radical reconstruction of social and political life
- 13:20
- Self -proclaimed experts sought to continue the revolution to its logical conclusion
- 13:27
- Persuaded by 1960s rhetoric and social science theorizing they believed that the new frontier of revolution was the mind
- 13:37
- Particularly individuals attitudes Convinced of the entrenched bigotry of middle
- 13:44
- America, that's all of you in here Literally, we're in middle America Persuaded by the 1960s rhetoric and social science theorizing they believed that the frontier of revolution was the mind particularly individuals attitudes
- 14:03
- Convinced of the entrenched bigotry not proven Convinced of Convinced of the entrenched bigotry of middle
- 14:12
- America and of their role in its exposure and enlightenment experts carved out niches for themselves and established fields like teaching social work and psychiatry and created altogether new professional roles
- 14:30
- Such as those of interracial etiquette advisors and diversity trainers
- 14:37
- The race experts moved in to fill a void created by the collapse of the
- 14:42
- Civil Rights Coalition and the loss of the clarity of the early movement capitalizing on a long -term trend in American culture toward Reliance on experts for guidance in all aspects of public and personal life
- 14:58
- That is why your company is consulting with DEI experts
- 15:08
- The race experts of which dr.
- 15:14
- Lash Quinn is speaking were the neo -marxist legal scholars who launched the critical race theory movement out of a desire as dr
- 15:22
- Lash Quinn rightly said to prolong old racial tensions and foster new misunderstandings and anxieties
- 15:32
- Never ever think that critical race theory wants reconciliation They do not want reconciliation
- 15:41
- They don't want any sort of ethnic or social cultural tensions within the within our world today to be solved
- 15:51
- Why because then they wouldn't be able to reproblematize anything Their goal is not solving its reproblematizing
- 16:02
- The desire to prolong old racial tensions is what motivates critical race theorists from the moment they wake up in the morning
- 16:13
- What can I find to criticize today? Remember, that's what the word critical means.
- 16:20
- It means to criticize It should not be overlooked that when dr.
- 16:27
- Lash Quinn says that those so -called race experts are seeking to affect all aspects of public and private life
- 16:33
- Please understand that all is exactly what she means. I say that because critical race theory is increasingly being taught in public schools across America Not only at the university level, but as many
- 16:46
- CRT apologists would have you believe They'd have you believe that it's only at the university level where it started out that it's kind of stayed there
- 16:55
- But it's at the K through 12 level now too And not just K through 12, K through 20
- 17:01
- Public schools are vital to critical race theorists achieving their eschatological objectives especially as those objectives relate to shaping the socio -cultural landscape as it relates to young black children
- 17:16
- As Dr. David O. Stovall, Professor of Black Studies, Criminology, and Law Law and Justice at the
- 17:22
- University of Illinois Chicago writes in the handbook of critical race theory education You will recall that this is one of the books
- 17:28
- I referred to you in my earlier message this morning to get a copy of that book the handbook of critical race theory education
- 17:34
- In that book, Dr. David O. Stovall writes this quote CRT challenges dominant ideologies surrounding the ability of students of color to excel
- 17:44
- Inside and outside of K through 20 spaces Let me pause in the quote you'll recall me earlier this morning saying that critical race theory is why as Especially as it relates to black students young black students the bar is not only being lowered academically.
- 18:00
- It's being eliminated It's been eliminated because of what David O.
- 18:05
- Stovall is saying here Critical race theory challenges dominant ideologies surrounding the ability of students of color to excel inside and outside of K through 20 spaces
- 18:19
- So what he's saying here Stovall is saying here is that black children are inherently incapable of learning
- 18:30
- So we have to make exceptions for them. They can't be required to do homework.
- 18:41
- They can't Take a test They won't pass it because they're black
- 18:54
- Continuing to quote Dr. David O. Stovall this problematizes over reliance on standardized test performance and normalizing views associated with white
- 19:04
- Western European Christian male standpoints as the standards for culture and academic achievement unquote
- 19:11
- This is really pitiful. This is really sad to be expected to learn to expect a black child to learn is racist
- 19:21
- Is essentially what he just said standardized test performance and normalizing views
- 19:31
- See, this is why two plus two equals five now. You can you can expect a black child to Have normalizing views of math
- 19:45
- Episode that we did a biblical theology of white culture We took an infographic that was produced by the African American History Museum who had multiple points of whiteness
- 19:54
- By the way, please listen to our whiteness episode. It's my favorite one That's my favorite episode of all we've done
- 20:00
- But that infographic by the African American History Museum in our episode on the biblical theology of white culture
- 20:06
- We took that infographic where that where that that organization was alleging that work was racist
- 20:12
- Being punctual and being on time was racist using proper grammar was racist
- 20:19
- Working hard and giving a day's worth of work was was racist This is exactly what dr.
- 20:25
- David Stovall is imbibing in this quote that I just read critical
- 20:32
- This critical race theory. I don't even have the adjective for it. It is the most destructive ideology
- 20:38
- I have ever come across So if you've ever wondered why it is in many public elementary schools today
- 20:47
- Especially that tests exams SATs ACTs LSATs and other such standardized tests are being eliminated now, you know why?
- 20:55
- It's critical race theory But they're gonna call it social emotional learning. No, we want all our children all our students to be well -rounded individuals
- 21:05
- This is what John Dewey wanted. John Dewey is the father of public education system
- 21:10
- This is what he wanted John Dewey saw public schools as a means to indoctrinate children to sort of form a certain
- 21:19
- Sociocultural way of seeing the world it was public schools were never designed to educate your children They were designed from from day one to indoctrinate them public schools have long been the conduit of choice for pushing ungodly ideologies like Marxism and now critical race theory into society and consequently into the minds of society's children
- 21:48
- After all it was Karl Marx who himself Karl Marx himself in his communist manifesto declared an essential tenet of communism to be this quoting
- 22:00
- Education of all children from the moment that they can leave their mother's care in national establishments at national cost
- 22:07
- That was Karl Marx vision public school That you would send your children to public school and have the government pay for it have the government oversee all the curriculum
- 22:17
- This is Karl Marx. He says this in a communist manifesto That his goal was education of all children from the moment that they can leave their mother's care
- 22:27
- And now what are we hearing right now? What are we hearing now? Your children aren't even yours anymore
- 22:35
- The moment they enter that door of that public school, they're not yours anymore they're mine
- 22:41
- Teachers are saying that's Karl Marx vision come to reality They're my children now.
- 22:49
- They're not yours. They're mine What is fundamental to understand about critical race theory is that it situates race at the center of social analysis
- 23:05
- So as Virgil said earlier in critical race theory race is Everything is viewed through a racial lens.
- 23:14
- I told Barack Obama the other day on Twitter that he sees the world through race colored glasses Yeah, I told him that Yeah, I added him.
- 23:24
- I added President Barack Obama My opinion President Barack Obama is the most racist individual
- 23:30
- I've ever I haven't come across him personally But the most racist individual I've ever known to exist He sees the entire world through race colored glasses everything even even a rose a
- 23:44
- Beautiful red or white yellow rose is black before he sees the red white or yellow But this is what critical race theory does it situates race at the center of social analysis everything's racial first In critical race theory differences such as social class gender ethnicity and language are acknowledged and understood as dimensions of Intersectionality that impact how race shapes policy in everyday life however race is the primary object of that analysis and Explanations of social phenomena are primarily offered through a racial lens
- 24:23
- The reality that critical race theory views society through a racial lens raises the question
- 24:30
- How exactly is race defined in critical race theory Virgil kind of alluded to that earlier in his message?
- 24:35
- Just now before I came up and then we hit on this yesterday as well How is race defined in critical race theory was answer to that question depends on who you ask?
- 24:47
- We're considering the eschatological similarities between Marxism and critical race theory It's vital to understand that in critical race theory craze race rather is a social construct in other words
- 24:56
- You could say it this way race is a moving target You football fans in here soccer fans imagine being a field goal kicker or a forward or score on a soccer pitch
- 25:11
- You're trying to kick the ball into the goal You're trying to kick the floor ball between goalposts with the goal post keep doing like this
- 25:18
- That's critical race theory This our critical race theory defines race go you think it's over here
- 25:27
- No move it up That's where critical race theory they're always
- 25:34
- Race is dynamic. It never means just this it's in the culture
- 25:42
- Race is defined by just looking at the color of your skin if you're lighter than me. You're white if I'm darker than you
- 25:47
- I'm black but race is also how much money you make where you live?
- 25:53
- What kind of job you have what position you have how far you have to drive to work? What the crime rate is in your neighborhood?
- 26:00
- All that's race to doing race as a social construct as opposed to a fixed scientific or biological construct makes race changeable and Mutable with regard to how that term is defined and that's how critical race theorists make their money
- 26:20
- And they're making a lot of money Racism is big business
- 26:27
- That's another reason critical race theorists cannot afford to have racism solved
- 26:34
- Because they would stop getting paid. I've always found it interesting that For all these answer there's so many books out there on how to be an anti -racist
- 26:47
- Why are there so many books on how to do it if it can be solved?
- 26:54
- Societally, why are there so many books telling me how to do it? That's because they don't know they don't have they don't want you to have an answer.
- 27:02
- They want you to keep buying their books Dr. Gloria Ladson Billings Gloria Ladison Billings professor of urban education in the
- 27:17
- Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin Madison where pop quiz
- 27:24
- CRT began In 1989 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison Dr.
- 27:31
- Gloria Ladson Billings explains this way quote biologists geneticists anthropologists and sociologists agree that race is not a scientific reality
- 27:49
- I'm going to repeat that Biologists geneticists anthropologists and sociologists agree that race is not a scientific reality
- 28:00
- Despite what we perceive as phenotypic differences the scrutiny of a microscope or the sequencing of genes
- 28:07
- Reveals no perceptible differences between what we call races
- 28:15
- You heard me quote yesterday From the book titled the myth of race add that book to your list the myth of race
- 28:26
- Continuing to quote dr. Gloria Ladson Billings As members of the same species human beings are biologically quite similar
- 28:34
- Just as a tabby cat and a calico cat are the same species with the ability to reproduce within their species
- 28:41
- So it is with humans However, humans have constructed social categories.
- 28:47
- Listen closer to this humans have constructed social categories and organizations that rely heavily on arbitrary genetic
- 28:57
- Differences like skin color hair texture eye shape and lip size
- 29:04
- Who's that sound like? Sounds like dr. Samuel Morton doesn't who was an admirer of Charles Darwin so you could really argue that critical race theory has a lot of its roots in Darwinism Continuing to quote dr.
- 29:22
- Gloria Ladson Billings They have used these differences as a mechanism for creating hierarchy and an ideology of white supremacy
- 29:33
- Thus while critical race theorists accept the scientific understanding of no race or no genetic difference
- 29:39
- We also accept and here's the hypocrisy We also accept the power of a social reality that allows for significant disparities in the life chances of people based on the categorical understanding of race
- 29:56
- So on the one hand she's saying yet. We realize that race is really not biologic. It's not no scientific basis for any of that But we're gonna leverage the social excuses for it so we can take advantage of it.
- 30:09
- This is what she's saying Critical race theorists are playing you like a fiddle.
- 30:20
- You've got critical race theorists even acknowledging that racist nonsense There's no such thing but the media corporate
- 30:34
- America Universities colleges public schools have bought this stuff and they're drinking the
- 30:40
- Kool -Aid With a 50 -foot straw they just can't get enough of it again see first on our myth busters
- 30:48
- I just busted a myth for you here Using the words of a critical race theorist she says it
- 31:01
- While critical race theorists accept the scientific understanding of no race No genetic differences
- 31:08
- We also accept the power of a social reality though that allows for significant disparities the social reality
- 31:15
- You got to catch the terms here guys. It's a social reality. It's a construct
- 31:21
- That's what I've been telling you Racism it's just a made -up label like the
- 31:26
- National Geographic article said it's a made it's made up. It's all made up It's entirely by design that critical race theorists view race fundamentally as a social construct but it's through the lens of race as a social reality as a social reality that they are able to apply the
- 31:47
- Marxist concept of Dividing people into different classes and groups and pitting those classes and groups against one another
- 31:55
- So as to establish a rationale for the eschatological apologetic Which is again to invert the current
- 32:02
- Western today and Christian Structure of this society and turn it upside down To where we have new oppressors
- 32:12
- And white people become the oppressed that's how the eschatological vision of critical race theory is achieved through intersectional class warfare
- 32:23
- That's the same eschatological vision that Karl Marx had To quote again, dr.
- 32:29
- Michael J. Doom is from yesterday if indeed racism is found in class relations if indeed racial racism is found in class relations and in the logics and Institutions of capital and you remember he's saying yesterday that in in critical race theory
- 32:44
- Capitalism, I'm sorry in Marxism capitalism is the enemy and in critical race theory capitalism is race is what causes racism
- 32:51
- It's capitalism If indeed racism is found in class relations and in the logics and institutions of capital
- 32:57
- Then any analysis of the construct of race or institutional and cultural practices of racism must be based in a class critique
- 33:06
- Put another way in Marxism analysis in Marxian analysis discussion of race is only critical meaning criticized in Marxian analysis discussion of race is only critical and only makes sense
- 33:22
- When racism is understood as a powerful instant instantiation of capitalism
- 33:30
- Given the relationship between racism and capitalism in a Marxian framework it becomes imperative to theorize how capital works in processes of racialization and racial exploitation and violence in CRT class is most often presented as a dimension of intersectionality in which class
- 33:50
- Alongside such categories as nationality gender and ability is a social identity and descriptor of personal life experience rather than a pervasive and structural exercise of The power of capital unquote.
- 34:05
- So what you have there is a lot of gibberish Talking about how basically fundamentally critical race theory is structured to divide organizing the classes and then pit those classes against one another especially then with respect to How many intersectional victimhood categories they can come up with?
- 34:27
- This is why you have What critical race theory is Subtly accomplishing very covertly is a restriction of free speech
- 34:39
- What I just read to you is exactly what's happening So we'll see it when we read the CRT is most often presented as a dimension of intersectionality
- 34:48
- In which class is a social identity This is why now you're being penalized if you don't refer to somebody by their preferred pronouns
- 34:57
- It's gonna come to a point where you could go to jail for that. That's what's coming You can't even say what you want to say anymore
- 35:08
- Because these social these we have these social identity groups and as these social identity groups are accepted as as as legitimate groups within society
- 35:22
- They get certain civil rights protections Which benefit them, but they're punitive to us
- 35:33
- This is exactly what critical race theory is accomplishing. Are you getting let me just ask Are you guys understanding how broad critical race theory is?
- 35:40
- It's affecting everything It's touching everything What I just read from dr.
- 35:50
- Dumas. These are words that are steeped in the vernacular of a Marxian dialectic
- 35:55
- Critical race theory leverages the dialectical language of Marxism in order to advance the proposition that racism is primarily the fault of capitalism and Ideologically capitalism is the swarm enemy of Marxism But see in critical race theory only white people benefit from capitalism black people suffer as white people benefit from capitalism
- 36:19
- That's why in critical race theory white people are the enemy like I said yesterday in critical race theory The only sin is the sin of being white
- 36:29
- It's like Virgil said earlier like we explained in our whiteness episode the definition of whiteness that I give in that episode is that whiteness is anything that is not blackness and While I'm on that, let me just say this.
- 36:43
- Let me just exegete whiteness for a second white refers to your skin color your ethnicity
- 36:51
- The nest comes in the suffix the NESS comes in as Virgil explained earlier in the way you live your life
- 36:59
- The traditions that you hold the standard of living that you have The number of children that you have the level of comfort in that standard of living that you become accustomed to That's the
- 37:14
- NESS So that's the whiteness That critical race theorists hate
- 37:23
- Because you've acquired that whiteness at my expense that's the interest conversion theory the goal of advancing a
- 37:39
- Marxian dialectical proposition is so that capitalism can be replaced with a more egalitarian system
- 37:45
- Namely cultural Marxism so that the oppressed and modernized classes become the new oppressor classes
- 37:52
- This is what you're seeing happen in corporate America through these DEI officers nine out of ten of them are black female
- 38:00
- They're changing the structure. They're changing the structure.
- 38:09
- That's that's one way that they do it We're gonna bring DEI into your workplace in a 1941 book titled
- 38:20
- Reason and Revolution written by the German Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse Marcuse is broadly regarded as the founder of modern
- 38:27
- American Marxism Marcuse who lived from 1898 to 1979
- 38:35
- Was one of them a quote one of the most prominent members of the Frankfurt School, or what was called the
- 38:41
- Institute for Social Research In the book Reason and Revolution Marcuse had this to say about the function and purpose of the
- 38:48
- Marxian dialectic quote The historical character of the Marxian dialectic dialectic embraces the prevailing negativity hold on let me stop gibberish alert gibberish alert
- 39:01
- Nonsense alert this if you thought
- 39:07
- Robin Henderson Robin Henderson Espinosa's quote was bad talking about Midwifing Shalom Listen to this
- 39:19
- Marcuse says the historical character of the Marxian dialectic embraces the prevailing negativity as well as the negation
- 39:27
- The given state of affairs is negative and can be rendered positive only by liberating the possibilities imminent in it
- 39:34
- This last the negation of the negation is accomplished by establishing a new order of things
- 39:40
- The negativity and its negation are two different phases of the same historical process straddled by man's historical action
- 39:48
- The new state is the truth of the old But that truth does not steadily and automatically grow out of the earlier state
- 39:55
- It can be set free only by an autonomous act on the part of men that will cancel the whole of the existing negative state
- 40:13
- Listen, I'm just as lost as you guys are But again, that's just another example of what what
- 40:19
- I was saying earlier this morning it's just pseudo academic gibberish the negative negates the negation
- 40:27
- I mean So so so none of that made sense and it shouldn't have really not none of that should have made sense
- 40:37
- You know, don't worry. You're not alone. I don't know what that means either But that's just an example of how you need to I like to I like to describe myself as a
- 40:47
- Godfather apologist So what I mean by that? If you've seen the Godfather movies,
- 40:54
- I forget if it's in part one or part two where young Michael Corleone says to one of his Hirelings there.
- 41:01
- He says my father taught me one thing. He always taught me to keep my friends close and my enemies closer So that's what
- 41:07
- I mean when I said my Godfather apologist because I keep my I read my enemies. I read my enemies
- 41:16
- That's how you become a better Theologian and a better apologist against worldviews like critical race theory you read the critical race theorist.
- 41:26
- Yeah, you're gonna make them more money But what you can do is establish a little legitimate street cred as being being a subject matter about what these folks believe
- 41:35
- And what they teach because you're reading them in their own words So that's what I mean when I say I'm a Godfather apologist because I keep my enemies close.
- 41:42
- I Read my enemies Bert and I we study our enemies In critical race theory the prevailing negativity
- 41:53
- To quote Marcuse is systemic racism. That's the prevailing negativity To use a term that Marcuse just used
- 42:00
- Remember what Marcuse said he said that the new state is the truth of the old The new state is the truth of the old in critical race theory the truth of the old is that America is as racist today as it was in the 1860s
- 42:16
- Reproblematizing reaching back in history grabbing a settled issue Grabbing a settled issue bringing it into today and reproblem top reproblematizing that issue as if it hasn't been settled
- 42:37
- What's the term version at Stacey Abrams? She's running for governor in Georgia right now.
- 42:42
- She likes to hop on the turn voting voting voting rights or voting Voting suppression voter suppression.
- 42:56
- There's no voter suppression Her to said this yesterday. There's not a place He if you're a registered voter and you're black in the
- 43:02
- United States, you can go vote. You know what? White voter has to be registered to Where's the suppression?
- 43:13
- Where's the suppression? So you got people like Stacey Abrams? let me reach back in 1965 when black people couldn't vote bring that in 19 into 2022 and Yell at the top of my voice in front of a microphone and act as if black people still can't vote
- 43:29
- Well the suppression just like that That's what they do reach back.
- 43:37
- Let's bring it up redlining
- 43:44
- Well can't get a house black person can't get a house because you know white person got a house But black person getting cow what a black person had a credit score of 340.
- 43:56
- Listen. I was in banking for over 20 years I that's just how the mortgage business works Maybe you didn't get that house because your credit score is so low.
- 44:07
- Maybe it had nothing to do with the color of your skin But nope, let me reach back there bring that up.
- 44:17
- So the truth of the old is Reproblematizing the truth of the old is that America is inherently and irreparably racist
- 44:33
- It always has been and always will be Let's see critical race theorists believe that they can liberate the possibilities by establishing a new order of things
- 44:42
- This is what you just heard me read from Marquees and therein lies the eschatology of critical race theory
- 44:49
- To bring about an entirely new order of things like I told you earlier Eschaton is not just the end of something.
- 44:56
- It's the beginning of something else Critical race theorists will usher in this new order by canceling the whole of the existing negative to quote
- 45:08
- Marquees again that is the existing capitalist racist systems and structures and institutions and Reconstructing them in the likeness of the intersectional utopia that they envision
- 45:22
- Such as the goal of Marxist organizations such as Black Lives Matter So when you understand the
- 45:29
- Marxian dialectic you also understand that the term council culture Council culture is not just some politically correct moniker concocted by the liberal mainstream media the term council culture is pure unadulterated
- 45:41
- Marxian dialectical language and Such as the attraction of Marxism to critical race theorists
- 45:52
- Council culture is Marxian vernacular For a new social order.
- 46:02
- This is why you risk having your social media accounts shut down Because they want to establish a new social order.
- 46:12
- Council culture is just a way to disguise it see council culture as offensive and maybe as a as Alerting a term as it is
- 46:23
- It's not as offensive as Saying yeah, I want to bring in a new social order.
- 46:34
- We'll leave that up to the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum I hope you guys are keeping an eye on them
- 46:43
- Klaus Schwab and his wife I tweeted Klaus Schwab too. Told Klaus Schwab on Twitter about a month ago
- 46:54
- Klaus Schwab comes out bragging in a video saying the future belongs to us. I reminded him that it doesn't
- 47:02
- I reminded him that he is only God's puppet. I reminded him brother. You're closer to meeting
- 47:07
- God every day You're already in your 80s. What are you bragging about? So what's gonna happen is whatever future you think you control you're gonna die and then leave that future to somebody else
- 47:15
- Then what are you gonna have? Well, I'll tag anybody. I don't care. I don't care who it is
- 47:26
- Critical race theory views capitalism as the enemy of the oppressed particularly of black people and therefore it must be replaced with a more intersectional and egalitarian system and since only white people benefit from capitalism and Predominantly again at the expense of black people right interest convergence then they too that is white people must be removed from their positions of power and privilege as UCLA Law School professor
- 47:55
- Cheryl I. Harris writes in her seminal white paper titled whiteness as property I want you to write this down.
- 48:01
- The white paper is titled whiteness as property whiteness as property Whiteness as property
- 48:11
- Cheryl that's C -H -E -R -Y -L Cheryl middle initial middle initial
- 48:17
- I as an igloo Harris H -A -R -R -I -S
- 48:22
- Cheryl I. Harris Cheryl Harris published this paper whiteness as property in the
- 48:31
- June 1993 edition of the Harvard Law Review Virgil gave you a very sort of succinct definition of whiteness.
- 48:41
- Here's a more expanded context of that idea By Cheryl I.
- 48:46
- Harris quote because the law recognized and protected expectations grounded in white privilege
- 48:52
- These expectations became tantamount to property that could not permissibly be intruded upon without consent as the law explicitly ratified those expectations in continued privilege or Extended ongoing protection to those illegitimate expectations by failing to expose or to radically disturb them
- 49:14
- The dominant and subordinate positions within the racial hierarchy were reified in law
- 49:21
- When the law recognizes either implicitly or explicitly the settled expectations of whites built on the privileges and benefits produced by white supremacy
- 49:32
- It acknowledges and reinforces a property interest in whiteness that reproduces black subordination
- 49:42
- Conversely Michael Harrio in an article titled white people are cowards Published in June on June 19th 2018 on the website the root said this quote
- 49:55
- Everyone knew that slavery was evil Everyone knew that Jim Crow was evil Everyone knew that lynching was evil.
- 50:02
- Everyone knows that any kind of injustice or inequality is evil These things persist because most white people don't actively fight to eradicate them
- 50:12
- What does that remind you of? It should remind you of a point Virgil made yesterday Well, it's not enough for you to just be when he was referencing to be the on your belay and people like Ibram Kendi It's not enough for you to just say you're not you're not a racist or that you're anti -racist
- 50:29
- You must get involved in the work. So they've set this new moral standard for you to meet
- 50:36
- He says these things persist because most white people don't actively fight to eradicate them and most white people don't actively fight to eradicate
- 50:43
- Inequality and injustice because they usually benefit in some small way interest conversions
- 50:51
- The southern economy was built on evil slavery Jim Crow laws maintained a national order with white people firmly planted atop the social hierarchy
- 51:00
- By the way, Jim Crow was not national. Jim Crow was not the law everywhere Systemic injustice keeps black people in their place, but it also
- 51:10
- Comforts white people to know that the big black boogeyman are being kept behind bars
- 51:16
- Unquote when you when you really boil it down critical race theory is not that complicated
- 51:25
- It's an idea that blames white people for everything. I gave you a one sentence definition of critical race theory yesterday
- 51:35
- Critical race theory is an idea that posits that racism is the normal everyday experience of people of color in America You can add to that the critical race theory is an ideology that believes that white people are the problem of the blame for everything every problem that exists in this country
- 51:56
- Critical race theory is as demonic a worldview as I've ever seen Critical race theory and Marxism have a lot in common
- 52:07
- But what makes critical race theory especially devious is that it uses stories and narratives to weaponize historical grievances like slavery
- 52:16
- Jim Crow and redlining and pits people of different socio -cultural and Economic backgrounds against one another so as to paint
- 52:24
- America Meaning white evangelicals Especially as Being just as systemically racist and oppressive today as it was in the night in the 1860s
- 52:38
- I'm gonna hit on this narratology again This is why in situations where when a black person is pulled over by the police
- 52:46
- What critical race theorists want to do and this was this is what gave black lives matter a lot of life
- 52:53
- When they first got going is that you can take that one person's experience get it on CNN and Then everybody else is adopting and imparting that one person's epistemology epistemological reality as the reality of every black person
- 53:11
- That's what happened with George Floyd George Floyd was the one who was killed in Minneapolis But the narrow the narratology that have that accompanied that react that incident
- 53:27
- Made George Floyd vicariously representative of every black person in America That's how narratology works
- 53:36
- No one was rejecting that narratology because who would want to reject it and then be accused of being a racist
- 53:42
- That's how critical race theories work because they know if you're a white person, you're not gonna be called racist So you're not gonna challenge the narrative at all
- 53:49
- And that's how the narrative gains traction Because it goes unchallenged For all this talk of anti -racism.
- 54:02
- The reality is that there is no anti -racism in critical race theory It's quite the opposite in fact in critical race theory anti -racism is the new racism
- 54:11
- Because if you're not involved in anti -racist work you are racist So even anti -racism is inherently racist
- 54:22
- Critical race theory is merely cultural Marxism by another name. It's a hate -filled ideology that is rooted in vengeance unforgiveness covetousness envy
- 54:32
- Vindictiveness and revenge that pits image bearers of God of various shades of melanin and socio -economic standing against one another under the guise of reparative justice and Equity in a sermon titled place for the word the
- 54:49
- Prince of preachers Charles Haddon Spurgeon said quote the truth is as old as the everlasting hills
- 54:55
- Therefore dear friends be not touched with that With that madness of always seeking after some new thing
- 55:03
- Did you ever hear of new gold To all intents and purposes all gold that is worth having is old
- 55:13
- Conversely in a sermon titled questions and answers concerning Zion Spurgeon said this quote I cannot agree with those who say that they have no that they have new truth to teach
- 55:24
- The two words seem to me to contradict each other that which is new is not true
- 55:31
- It is the old that is true for truth is as old as God unquote
- 55:41
- Pontius Pilate asked what is truth? I said in my part one of this message that that is the question we need to be asked not what is critical race theory
- 55:50
- What is the truth? What is true? That's the question The Apostle Paul said to Timothy in 2nd
- 55:57
- Timothy 4 verses 2 through 4 Virgil Hit on this in his earlier message preach the word
- 56:06
- Be ready in season and out of season reprove rebuke Let me stop right there that Admonition that part of the admonition is what is getting the evangelical church in so much trouble today is nobody wants to be rebuked
- 56:24
- Nobody wants to be reproved Let's be nice Don't make waves make friends
- 56:35
- I'm right now in my head. I have that old song from that old Barney children's show in my head
- 56:44
- You're welcome, it's now in your heads, too You didn't think that was gonna be alone and having that jingle in my head
- 56:50
- But that's why the evangelical church is in so much trouble now such a sentimentalist
- 56:58
- Entity now everything's feelings. Everything's emotions based. Nobody wants to be reproved.
- 57:03
- Nobody wants to be reviewed rebuked But Paul says preach the word be ready in season and out of season reprove rebuke
- 57:11
- Exhort with great patience and instruction for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctor
- 57:17
- But wanting to have their ears tickle They will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own
- 57:25
- Desires and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to miss critical race theory is a myth
- 57:41
- The myth critical race theory is not the truth It is a lie from the pit of hell and you must learn everything you can about it
- 57:49
- So that you will know how to reject it and help others to reject that as well. All right,
