Flashback article: The Scourge of Left Racism in American Christianity

I have written in days past about the impact of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in American Christianity, yet there has not been a coherent article looking at it. After so long, I have decided to revisit the issue with, hopefully, clearer sight. In this article, I have decided to relook at the issue of what I am calling 'Left Racism,' to show the infiltration of ideas spawned about in CRT into American Evangelical Christianity. Far from the more 'extreme' versions promoted by Jemar Tisby, 'moderate' forces have co-opted ideas from CRT and have attempted to rebrand their views as being "biblical," a synthesis between the 'extreme' godless CRT on the Left and the racism on the right (as if Leftists in history have never been racist before!).

In this article entitled "The Scourge of Left Racism in American Christianity," I define the term "Left Racism," and lookk at three examples of this insidious form of racism: David French, Mika Edmondson, and Justin Giboney and the AND campaign. All of them teach or act according to Left Racism, which I defined as:

Left Racism: Any view that discriminates against any race or ethnicity in viewing and/or treating them negatively due to perceived structural or systemic factors, under the guise of social justice.

The article can be read here.

Now, I do know there is a current resurgence in right-wing racism, aka fascism. But so far that has been limited to the Internet, and its growth would not be possible without Left Racism breeding racial resentment in the first place. I do not think it needs to be said that Naz-sm is absolutely unbiblical, and the rehabilitation of Hi-ler reprehensible. It should not need saying that one can criticize Winston Churchill, without praising the F-hrer.
