My view of racism isn’t derived from Critical Race Theory. It’s based on what the Bible says about love, hatred, injustice and abuses of power.

That biblical frame is applied to historical facts, elders’ insights, my experiences & the thoughts of giants like Fredrick Douglass.

If elements of CRT happen to align with that understanding then so be it. I’ll continue to denounce the parts that are unbiblical and affirm what’s sound. That’s what Christians should do with any theory or system made by human hands.

Centering the problematic parts of CRT when Black Christians have been faithfully addressing the issue for hundreds of years before CRT was around is a way of discrediting the entire conversation. It’s overly simplistic and evasive. The root of that strategic diversion is evil.
