1/ The Bible & CRT do not define the issue the same. In fact, the Bible does not mention race or racism at all. We would understand "racism" to be a combination of sinful motives: partiality and hate. CRT does not require the presence of either motive for something to be racist. https://twitter.com/BethMooreLPM/status/1334165583865257985
2/ Racism is assumed in a CRT framework. People are automatically grouped into oppressor & oppressed classes based upon skin color. Reconciliation is only possible by actively fighting for the oppressed. By itself, that sounds good. However, objective proof of oppression is not
3/ required, but rather, should be assumed. In this way, the sins of the "oppressed" are overlooked & the sins of the "oppressors" are magnified. Biblically, pastors should be against partiality & hate. However, adopting ideologies that misrepresent those issues is unacceptable.
