Large parts of the white church still defend systemic racism and oppose CRT as antithetical to the gospel. Some do not.

This article articulates, if incompletely, a biblical basis for opposing systemic racism. The Bible also calls for national repentance.

This built-in, normal anti-Black hiring discrimination is a part of what Critical Race Theory examines in its pedagogy. The current attacks on #CRT and #DEI are designed to preserve white preference in hiring and prevent Black career advancement.

Both the Robert’s Court & the Trump Executive Branch recognize discrimination against BIPOC students only if it closely resembles pre-Civil Rights era discrimination — but recognize it against white students as anything that “makes them feel bad.”

#CRT is necessary.

The Roberts Court is willing to remedy discrimination against people of color (POC) only when it strongly resembles racism during the pre–Civil Rights Era. But the Court is willing to remedy discrimination against white claimants even when it takes more modern, more novel, more improvisatory forms.
Race in the Roberts Court
When it comes to people of color, the Roberts Court treats “racism” as if it is an objective fact — out there in the world, apparent to anyone who stumbles upon it. The Roberts Court invites observ

Although CRT deals with legal and structural, as opposed to personal racism, when the personal racist is a politician — his/her impact on legal & structural racism is front & center — and is in CRT’s wheel house. #CRT is needed now more than ever.

This is a great documentary of how urban renewal destroyed the prosperous Black business area of West Ninth Street in Little Rock, AR. U.S.laws have always been — and still are, anti-Black. This tenet of #CRT is factual. History should be taught, not outlawed.
