Critical Race Theory Crash Course | Unapologetic Episode 30 

I would like to persuade the open- minded people who have watched this video to seek out other information on Critical Race Theory.

I think we are making this harder to understand than it really is. We are making excuses for what's obvious. It's not rocket science. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you believe it, you'll do it.

Since this was a video made two years ago. I forgive you, Bobby. Critical Race Theory it's simple. It examines the racial bias in the justice system, employment, housing and how race plays a key role economically. It breaks down inequality of a system that wasn't created for black Americans to succeed. Instead it discusses a system created to benefit white people. Now where's the lie in that. 💯

CRT was developed in the 80's as graduate level coursework to study the bias' (intended or otherwise) in our system. It's the study of, not a solution to, racial bias in policy.

I'm trying to learn more about CRT and this was a horrible start for me. Especially as a black Christian...Except for the last maybe 45secs, that was good

Trolling both sides takes a lot of patience, resolve, and a little bit of heart. Hats off, guys.

This would have been much more interesting and productive if you had an African American pastor who is pro-Civil Rights engage in a dialogue with the white anti-CRT pastor here. This is just more preaching to the choir rather than reaching across the aisle to increase understanding. I’d encourage the folks behind this video to consider a follow-up along the lines I’ve suggested here.

2 white guys discussing race theory. If your serious vote a native American for president.

This is one of the least substantive conversations I have heard on CRT. CRT simply states that racism isn’t simply denoted by personal relations but that racism was also embedded in many American social, political, economic, educational, judicial, and financial,. etc, structures and institutions via regulations, policies, and laws as a result of its historical legacy.

Most of what was said was on point, but one noticeable misunderstanding. We all have prejudices/heart issues we need to continuously confess and forsake. But prejudice is not the same as racism. It might have originated in the heart, but it is now ingrained in our American system of oppression. It is also a slap in the face to say these things take time. How much time has already passed?! We don't need more time, we need men and women of God to ACT. Love IS action. So let's not just talk about theories, but ask God how YOU can work toward change, and then DO IT. God bless you for trying to understand.

WHY NOT HAVE PEOPLE FORM BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT INSTEAD OF ONE SIDE

As a negroe, I would like to have a conversation with you on CRT and its importance for my people to know what really happened to our identity in America and why it was taken away from us/hidden

21:45 - I really thought he was going to go into the whole “Jesus is the only answer” cop out. I didn’t think he was going to address what’s needed from the pulpit… this is the IMPORTANCE of HEARING people out. Man this was GOOD good…

Extremely biased views on CRT. It's clear these two are still unable to understand what the other side is truly saying. This conversation is full of pretended, condescending faux humility

CRT certainly isn't in the Bible. We're all equally in a "wrong relationship", "negative standing", with our Creator prior to Salvation. It's a sin problem NOT a skin problem. There's ONLY one race, the human race. ❤️

Very good observations and sensitivity of SELF. What is the self doing, perceiving.

Around 18:00 imagine the slave masters of the south being monolithic in their punitive actions

Wow you guys are super close in proximity!

Brilliant. Well done. Listen and act, don't seek to overthrow. Celebrate diversity, see grace for all. Your preaching has reached someone not in the choir.

All you need to do is read the Maryland Doctrine of Exclusion

Crt seems to be way off topic. You put 1 Indian, 1 African, 1 Asian, 1 caucasian on a team together and tell them to build a fence. Crt goes out the window so long as everyone is putting in some effort. Now as a civilization we have gotten to a point where everyone on the planet can live comfortably, it's only leadership of certain countries that don't allow it in their own countries. The vast amount of knowledge we as a whole have contributed makes it possible. But now we need some really clever thinking and even after free knowledge, improved pastures which literally gives us brain food, there are still people on this planet who through cultural constructs or peer pressure would rather drag the chain instead of help lead the way

The way I see it is that they are trying to fix a heart problem with laws and this will never work as only King Jesus can change our hearts. Thanks for this breakdown brothers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You should be getting your information from a PhD who teaches CRT. Not a pastor explaining what they think it is.

CRT attempts to identify the problematic dynamics that are present in a rigged socioeconomic structure, legal system, education system, etc. After identifying these problems, CRT attempts to solve them *not* by advocating for equality, unity, compassion, opening strong lines of communication, etc. but by largely reversing the script and targeting white people instead of black people. This is insanity. As Einstein wisely said, “You can’t solve problems by using the same type of thinking that created them.” CRT essentially says that being white is a problem and is bad. Sound familiar? It sounds just like what white people who are racist would say about black people. CRT passionately advocates for school curriculums to teach white kids, and their white parents, that being white automatically makes you ‘bad’, ‘mean’, ‘guilty’. Sound familiar? Racism revolves around associating the color of one’s skin with notions that are learned early in life. It is very, very, long over due that systemic racism is addressed, but doing so via CRT is only going to deepen the divide between people of different races. What’s happening is horrifying. Seriously. This belongs in some type of dystopian fiction novel where a massive unethical experiment is conducted to see if the roles of the oppressed and the oppressors can be flipped. If the goal is equality, as it should be, then people need to become colorblind to race!

I am homeschooling my son I didn't teach CRTC. What I did teach him about was the history of the world. The hardest part of learning history is the last 100 years of history. The CCP was started by a teacher in China and followed Marxist doctrine that killed millions. The USSR was started based on Marxist doctrine and again millions were killed. Laos tried to use Marxist doctrine and again millions were killed. Cuba rounded up all educated people and killed them based on Marxist ideas. In all cases the first generation was enthusiastic until after the revolution when the people realized communism is hell on earth. The next generation until present hate the idea. If you are debating CRTC and it is based on Marxists ideas you obviously don't know your history. No person that knows history would want their children and grandchildren to live or be killed in a communist country. I don't care if it hurts feelings this is extremely important study the last 100 years of world history. Any doctrine that uses Marxist ideas is a hard no it does not matter what race you are communism is really bad for every race!

I think we forget that “theory” means hypothesis and more an idea that isn’t even proven per se. The teaching this theory is just teaching the ideas of an idea. So idk where I stand on supporting it but I will say, it’s presented as theory and not fact. Which should be atleats an okay thing as long as we clearly expressed this is a theory. But idk where I stand on it anyway.

Until the end of the video I would’ve never thought this video was created by a pastor… You relayed the truth without pushing and forcing your views down other’s throat‘s… I am not speaking on my experiences of all pastors but majority of them. They tend to force their views and opinions down other’s throat‘s… It normally does not take me long to go onto the next video. This one caught my attention from the start and I just wanted to say thank you. 👍

Anyway, it should be said: BEST video about CRT: Hbomberguys 'Sargons Petition: A Measured Response'!! Check it out. Second-Best: Wisecrack.

Read Voddie Baucham Book Faultlines. He address everything from a very clear and biblical view.!

Diablosiron is to divide and that is what Satan wants. One is easily overtaken, two back, to back can take on many, and a rope of three strands can hold many times its own weight. We do not wrestle flesh and blood, but dark forces and principalities. Here is what we do. Be not for or against change, but be the change you want to see. Don't become so obsessed with a thing, that you become that thing.

What’s wrong with people learning about the existence of racism? Isn’t “reverse racism” an acknowledgement of racism? 😐🤷🏾‍♂️

Is there a Critical Stock Theory?

Interesting how the entire subject is based and referenced from the start of the Bible.

Did I just hear the term..... Reverse Racism???? I'm disappointed. That is not a logical concept, especially with there being multiple definitions of racism. The term reverse racism is dismissive to the struggle of the residue that slavery left behind. If it weren't so you wouldn't be talking about it right now, we would all have an understanding that it is important to be educated about our short comings as a society so we don't keep repeating them as we have. If we are truly sons and daughters of God we would lead with Love and have open hearts to understand before we formulate opinions and respond.

Ugh… you guys are way overthinking things. Jesus couldn’t have simplified things for us more by directing us to love God and to love one another.

Racism is a sin no matter what your ethnicity is. It should be repented of by each individual just as any sin committed . Gods word stands alone and can't be substituted . It needs no help defining sin and doesn't need any help confronting man's sin nature. Anyone who will try to justify slavery of any ethnic group is misguided. The Bible tells us we all sin and come short of the glory of God. We all were created in the image of God and should be treated accordingly. Focus on Jesus Christ and what he did for each individual on the cross . One day there will be peace , equality and absolutely no prejudice or racism after the 2nd coming of Chtist when he rules this earth. Racism is a sin that can be repented of and to tell anyone they have committed a sin they can't be forgiven of other than blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unbiblical. Jesus Christ is the answer for all our sins.

WHO RUNS THESE THEORIES, AT RISK GROUPS: aranoia, schizotypy, narcissism, and insecure attachment,[3] or to a form of cognitive bias called "illusory pattern perception" WIKI

No everything flows from the Gospel. Not the other way around!

Of course a christian apologist is going to have this stance. There is little chance for him to objectively evaluate CRT with this level of initial bias. Quite ironic.

When CRT say America is inherititively racist it's not saying that it's inherited biologically. But rather it's pass down or taught from generations to generations. We all inherited behaviors and traits that we pickup from our parents. And racism is one of them.

It would help to define what it is before talking so much about what it influenced and how much..what is critical race theory?

It would be better if you explore these issues both from a biblical perspective and a secular one. We don't really need to tie the solution to a certain religious belief, but good job nonetheless.

So…they don’t know the studies of crt very well

I really appreciate the discussion. There were some great points. Respectfully, I find there to be quite a bit of hypocrisy in both the social and religious components in which is supported and discussed. The acknowledgement of unfair practices, but the hesitation to confront them...is what has allowed them to prevail this long in our society. The Christian church supported and built most of the societal institutions based upon race, such as poll taxes, the convict lease system, Jim Crow laws, redlining, encampment, etc. And now to deflect and shy/run away from seriously addressing them; and just call upon Jesus... isn't creating a physical, living change for those you mention faces discrimination; past and present. And the above, is how the past and present privileged argue against changing a self righteous and beneficial system. Once again, I really appreciate the dialogue. May God bless you. 🙏🏾

He doesn't see where systemic racism is embedded but feels he understands CRT enough to not support it

Interesting - began to clear the fog which is CRT....

What he didn't speak about is CRITICAL RACE HISTORICAL FACTS, not theory.

I'm superior! I don't care what color you are to me I am more superior then you. Walk through life like a victom, you prove my point!!

Wow. This saddens me to the point I’ve contemplated turning my back on these so- called church leaders and the faith!

If teaching Critical Race Theory in schools is wrong, then CGT, i.e., "Critical Gender Theory" is egregious. Critical Race Theory is alleged to teach the country is founded upon systemic racism. Critical Gender Theory, i.e., feminist studies is based upon the theory that the country is founded upon systemic sexism. Given that white women have been equal participants with white men in the promulgation of racism, feminist studies should be far more offensive than CRT. White women were instrumental in slavery and owned almost half of all slaves and half the wealth when slavery ended. White women received reparations for free slaves - freed slaves received black codes and segregation supported by white women. The fact that people are accepting of one theory of systemic oppression which lacks any substantive or economic basis above the other theory which is supported by thousands of laws and court decisions basic speaks volumes about which theory has more validity.

6:08 you better park it for a few seconds a human implies a hued man or colored man whereas the antonym for that would be neanderthal which means one that neander's or one that wanders around as they have wandered and too many people's backyards and settle for what they have whether it was given freely or not there are some that would chop off your hands when being given things free in order to make sure they get everything oh and the lieu of profit it is not every white man but those that know better have been taught that it is okay also I think this is what critical waste theory is about mainly

Why don't you have the person who came up with CRT on and ask her, Kimberly Crenshaw. This guy is just coming up with his own views which are incorrect?

I hate how close they are sitting in front of each other.

CRT is for intellectual; not the average every day person.

Very informative

*Critical Species Law

11:50 - 13:13: “There are some things…” Those things are sin, which God hates. You’re being soft on those sins because they’re not a part of your White Evangelical Christian culture. You’ve attempted to understand CRT-a theoretical framework taught in law schools-because your culture sees teaching actual American history (which is being conflated with CRT) as an important enough threat to their comforts and status quo. How have you attempted to understand something 99% of us will never understand, but you haven’t taken the time to understand the reason for the race conversation: Racism. You know systemic racism exists, as you softly alluded, but it’s not important enough to you and your culture to actually understand and challenge! Now take a look at the Southern Baptist Convention and ask yourself why it is falling apart. It’s because your Black neighbors aren’t important enough for you to know and love. By the way, racism is about human inferiority/superiority. In American history the devaluing of African slaves was strategic for justifying their brutalization in slavery for economic gain. Today, the American church needs to take a good look in the mirror and feel God’s anger from Psalm 7:11.

What is reverse racism?

It would have helped me accept the validity of the presentation in there had been a person of color as one of the speaker/presenters. Secondly, while I certainly appreciated you daring to try to address the issue It was not an unbiased assessment obviously, since one of the speakers acknowledged he was against CRT. Nonetheless, thx for the crash course. Pastor TL Rogers

Can you guys please revisit this topic but have a black pastor/christian give their perspective? While there is truth in some of what you guys have said, you are missing some other things because you can only view the world as white men. I am a Latino/Black Christian, I do not share the same perspectives that you guys have about racism. I do not feel like this perspective of CRT can truly be understood unless you have some christians who are experts in CRT speak on it.

This country was founded on sinners, Biblically. According to Exodus 21:16 "And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." All have sinned. Romans 3 tells us that "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" The Bible tells us that the if we continue in the Word we shall be disciples and the truth shall make us free according to St. John 8:32. Second Corinthians 4:1-4 "Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." As Christians people should be able to come together honestly and respectfully, knowing that God created man in his image.

Distorted view. That’s not what critical race theory is you’re bringing in other ideologies that distort what is actually written about it. You sort of mention that it is the study of systems, and they use that form of study to determine why there is such a disparity between ethnicities in our country after the civil rights movement. It examines things such as education, financial systems, political systems, and a bunch other systems you get the point. It is also taught to graduate students in law school not little kids. Why is it so hard to believe that there is systemic racism? We’ve had systemic racism for 90% of the existence of America. Jim Crowe didn’t go away altogether, it’ll probably take another hundred years for it to erode properly. Robyn D’Angelo is not one of the authors of critical race theory, but it’s interesting how her literature demonstrates how there is white fragility on the subject of racism, and how quickly something can be twisted because of white fragility. You didn’t own a slave, but you still vote, and you vote for things that clearly continue to hurt people of different ethnicities and in communities that are “White “. Allowing cocaine possession to Carry a lighter sentence than possessing crack cocaine, is an example of how a system targets people from a certain community. Heroin is killing young whites at an alarming rate, And now we are discussing getting people drug treatment instead of throwing them in jail, when blacks have been saying that about their community for years, but I guess a black life doesn’t matter.

He’s so hung up on CRT being about overthrowing. CRT is about understanding how law and policy created inequality and oppression. The solution is not to overthrow, it’s about rewriting law and policy for equity. I about puked when I heard the question of CRT opposed to the Bible.

Black slavery still exists in Africa let's not talk about it !

It’s a direct attack on the Image of God! Galatians 3:28

Start w revamping the Constitution

Is the Bible a white structure?

CRT will allow white folk to comment about race/slavery without brown folk laughing

Critical Race theory is an extreme version of the Bible. God is natural. Everything under the sun has already been done. It's simple. Base nations are largest groups black white red yellow etc., then smaller groups of people and Bi-racial now, and from the past. Bi-racial can remix and become a small group or join A base nation an take on roles or both ways. Its just like chat rooms different avenues. Things simplified. There has to be people from the different groups to teach their values, etc. God likes order, he's not extreme, but things that hurt everyone's salvation, makes him angry. People that never grew-up Christian in life gets a choice, everyone gets a choice. The world obeys the laws of physics, so people die, children might die, but they have a choice to choose salvation. God has a set time to return, that's why he doesn't fly in and save everybody. God with us Christ is not into side shows. he was tempted to make side show. God give people purposes. Historical evidence points to whites having African ancestry 12000 years, they probably have less now, they moved out of Africa. But they always was Caucasian another group.

Wow! What a wonderful and intelligent conversation between two, good Christian men. We can all learn something from this! Thanks guys!

Critical chasing ghosts theory.

Can blind people be racist?

22:31 glad someone allowed poc to take the pulpit. Wouldnt know what to do without the white fathers blessing

Beliver here...What are these guys credentials? Do they have references for the relationship between Marxism and CRT?

You should actually read some of the articles for yourself and interact with the ideas instead of letting other people “describe” CRT for you. You can find CRT articles on line

This is an excellent and unbiased explanation of CRT. Thank you for this very helpful teaching on such an extremely relevant issue in our culture today.

He is talking around the topic and keeps talking about feminism. The American system and structure are racism realistically. The American middle class was built in a racist fashion. White people got housing loans. Black people were denied housing loans purely based on the color of their skin. The GI bill could’ve somewhat bridged the gap in racial/ethnic disparities and white fragility failed it.

YT people…

Notice how most comments are being posted by people who obviously didn't watch the video.

Y’all are going to get punished for the work of y’all fathers, doesn’t matter how much y’all apologize, justice will be served

Racism isn’t biblical it is a tradition of European men originally called the European cast system. Colossians 2:8 King James Version 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Y’all are wrong about the Bible and it’s point of view of race relations

I too love the communist manifesto

After all that he doesn’t explain what the theory is? To claim the society is systematically racist is simple. Saying how , a little harder……….. I would say the fear of being sued has helped control people’s behavior. I encourage everyone to keep a camera in you pocket. It might be a big payday. Can you think of a better way to make money than to take it away from a racist.

Completely incomprehensible

Seems this is even explained with some kind of trick involved, it's easy if you explan onthe terms to educate not influence toward a opinion. This guy isn't straight. How about this we all have heard history now let's tell individual stories, let opinions be made by thought process, history with a twist of truth. I would want to know more stories of people of color or immigrants from. Other countries. The past is lesson on mistakes not need to be repeated, can't change what is kept secret.

Racism is illegal. Get audio/video recorded and a good lawyer. The “settlement” is the best way to deal with racism.

Is this a far right channel or unbias? Thanks

Dear Black people: Do not waste your time listening to videos like this. Make sure your people don't look at present day results that were set in motion throughout the history of this country, and feel inherently inferior. Teach them that poverty kills and your people were pushed to the bottom rung on this country before the laws were made equal. Then teach them that even if European Americans began to worship the ground that African Americans walked, and started to believe that they were inherently inferior to AAs, only a widespread and sustained effort to improve our economic standing in this country is going to change our disproportional results in this county. It doesn't matter how many EAs agree with CRT, the history of this country, the confederate flag, etc. Heaven is after death. So while you are living, understanding capitalism is how our people prevent slow extinction. Any person who isn't teaching you how to survive in a capitalistic system, while you struggle at the bottom of it, is wasting your time: irrespective of their skin color. disproportionately for AAs due America's history of oppressing AAs to the bottom and our inability to collectively climb out from the bottom. Yes we need more time and have only been completely free for 50 or so years, but we are free and we have work to do. See you at work!

Great episode. 👍

I would not use the term racism, I would use the Biblical term of self-righteousness. In other words if someone says what do I think about racism I should respond do you mean self-righteousness?

Please add Scripture to all your arguments.

Communism helps 🤗

What animal in nature that god made, are not racist ??

What a load of garbage 1. first Critical theory was not created nor used by Carl Marx - it was developed as a study on social constructs of mainly culture and literature. It was originally taught in Frankfurt, Germany. The fact that this is being put out as a formal criticism of Christian group is even worse. Answer this question "did God give man free will?" then ask "did God give you free will to take away others free will?" if you believe he did then finally ask yourself "how is me taking away others free will make me like Jesus?" Lastly CRT is taught in Graduate Level School, Law School, it is NOT taught in College, High School, Junior High, or Elementary. It is not a system of government rather a study of how government works.

Nonsence. Crt is not about "overthowing" anything. Its about looking at our system critically so we can evolve our system.

Apparently,,people keep coming up with different answers on this subject, but how did the Bible in there. it’s too much,, how would crt critical religion theory go in any country, 😅I’m done done with this bull,,keep looking back y’all

As soon as Marx was brought up, you knew this was a biased talk...haha!

Dont need these junk jargon to say.. equality and progress by ability. That's it. Simple. Now erase corruption in police force and politics govt. Good luck with that one....

This dude is painfully uninformed when it comes to CRT and other theories.
