Either way we are commanded to be separate from the world and to seek the kingdom not america.That's like saying this is an apple not a fruit.
The United States of America is a Democratic Republic, a democracy.
I get that it’s positing that changing the questions we ask when we ask ourselves* like, “why is the current political situation like it is?”, there’s going to be a lot of reasons, we will argue over “what to do” like we always have done. This is what politics is, keeping your nation together even though we fight constantly.When an ideology tells you, "Everything else is a lie, listen only to us," that's not a valid tool. That's what cults do.
If it fits known facts better than “history” why is that “bad”?That's not what Critical Theory does. Critical Theory merely tosses out history as false and creates its own narrative.
You’re new here, hi, and welcome!Either way we are commanded to be separate from the world and to seek the kingdom not america.

I’m sure that we will have many pleasant encounters on these forums!
Did you know that if you tick the little gray circle under an avatar you can check each poster’s general info.
Can you show me where this is claimed in CRT? And I do not mean that you link to me to sources where people say that CRT says this/is it's basis, but an actual source.The basis of CRT is that white people can never be anything other than oppressors, and that any and every system, history, or concept invented by white people is a tool of oppression. That's why math and punctuality are racist.
Race, Racism and American Law by Derrick Bell.Can you show me where this is claimed in CRT? And I do not mean that you link to me to sources where people say that CRT says this/is it's basis, but an actual source.
So these are the source(s) or just books that talk about CRT? The second seems to be a secondary source based on name, but thank you.Race, Racism and American Law by Derrick Bell.
Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement by Kimberlé Crenshaw
Also, read up on the basics of Critical Theory and the Frankfurt School from any number of sources.
History over the last few centuries shows that white men/white governing/actions,And since you seem to know your sources, can you point out one where they specifically say that: "white people can never be anything other than oppressors, and that any and every system, history, or concept invented by white people is a tool of oppression"?
Because let's face it, you are otherwise just leading a wild goose chase for a goose that probably doesn't exists.
You expect that actual quote to appear somewhere?So these are the source(s) or just books that talk about CRT? The second seems to be a secondary source based on name, but thank you.

It would be as sad if people knew who was really what race they are , I personally will let the Lord of creation tells me what I and my ancestors have Lost or had stolen, in the mean time, BECAUCE no one in this life will know by LOOKING AT ME OR DNA TESTING me what race i am AND WHAT I AND MY ANCESTORS HAVE LOST OR HAD STOLEN . SO ALL OF IT IS GARBAGE AND PURE EVIL JESUS WILL REWARD US BY HIS KNOWLEDGE OF EACH OF OUR INHERITANCES AND WHAT WE HAVE HAD STOLEN . BUT ONLY HE KNOWS AND IT WILL BE YOUR LOSE IF YOU DO NOT WAIT FOR HIM TO REWARD.History over the last few centuries shows that white men/white governing/actions,
has destroyed many souls, wiped out many peoples, many species of animals worldwide on land, in sea and in air; not producing much of anything helpful except temporary deceptions to trick the world ..... it is not good what has happened, no, not good for people's souls, nor for crops, nor for the soil of the usa/ planet .....
Oh, it may well not be only whites..... so what ?
Choose whichever posting style you like, but I tend to gloss over those written thusly.It would be as sad if people knew who was really what race they are , I personally will let the Lord of creation tells me what I and my ancestors have Lost or had stolen, in the mean time, BECAUCE no one in this life will know by LOOKING AT ME OR DNA TESTING me what race i am AND WHAT I AND MY ANCESTORS HAVE LOST OR HAD STOLEN . SO ALL OF IT IS GARBAGE AND PURE EVIL JESUS WILL REWARD US BY HIS KNOWLEDGE OF EACH OF OUR INHERITANCES AND WHAT WE HAVE HAD STOLEN . BUT ONLY HE KNOWS AND IT WILL BE YOUR LOSE IF YOU DO NOT WAIT FOR HIM TO REWARD.
HE SHOWED ME BY EXAMPLE ^^^ BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS I HAVE HAD STOLEN IN THIS LIFE TIME, NOT COUNTING WHAT MY ANCESTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PASS TO ME BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE IT WAS STOLEN BY THEM AND THEIR THOSE WHO WISH TO TAKE MORE. I HAD TWO INHERITANCES STOLEN FROM ME BY MY OWN FAMILY. SO JESUS GAVE ME A SPECIAL GIFT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THOSE THEFTS AND FOR THE NEXT AGE. A REALLY AWESOME REWARD AS I TRY VERY HARD TO FORGIVE , OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
BECAUSE THE GIFT HE WILL GIVE ME IS SO MUCH GREATER THAN ANYTHING I HAVE LOST OVER AND OVER AND MANY TIMES GREATER THAN ANYTHING MY ANCESTORS LOST OVER AND OVER. IT IS A GIFT WHERE I CAN MAKE MYSELF AND MY ANCESTORS RICH AS THEY WANT TO BE OR NEED TO BE. AND CAN use THAT Gift FOR ANYONE I WANT TO USE IT FOR.
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY EVERYONE WORK ON FORGIVING AND LET OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN REWARD YOU AND GIVE YOU YOUR OWN INHERITANCE THAT HE PLANNED FOR YOU SINCE BEFORE TIME. SO LIKE SCRIPTURE HINTS AT , JUST LET THEM STEAL IT AND FATHER WILL GIVE YOU 100 TIMES, THATS HIS PROMISES. JUST WAIT FOR HIS PLAN NOT YOURS !
Yes, that is what "CRT says this" would mean. That the theory would say that somewhere. Otherwise this sounds like your and other peoples faulty interpretation.You expect that actual quote to appear somewhere?
Read the books.
If you suspect someone else's interpretation is faulty, then examine the source yourself. Otherwise you have nothing to speak from but ignorance.Yes, that is what "CRT says this" would mean.

So you choose a leader who has literally no interest in the kingdom and could not take his eyes off owning the entire world if he tried.Either way we are commanded to be separate from the world and to seek the kingdom not america.
It's a two-way street. There can't be a discussion about your interpretation without knowing the basis for it.If you suspect someone else's interpretation is faulty, then examine the source yourself. Otherwise you have nothing to speak from but ignorance.

The main idea is that it is not an empire with an emperor nor a monarchy with a king., at least up until now.That's like saying this is an apple not a fruit.
The United States of America is a Democratic Republic, a democracy.
So you've got nothing to back that interpretation. Because every time I hear that one, it's always a person who describes themselves as either right-wing or conservative. But no one who I've seen talk for CRT so far has made that kind of a claim. So it seems to be that you're just making a strawman to prance about. No worries, I will be checking those books, but judging by your avoidance of pointing out anything specific where that kind of a claim, I doubt I will discover much.If you suspect someone else's interpretation is faulty, then examine the source yourself.
