    The Eugenics Movement bears a striking resemblance to Critical Race Theory. An academic movement used to justify using violence against honest, peaceful people. The central theme of the justification being the fact that people measure differently from one another. They both cherry pick statistics that support their preformed conclusions. They both ignore real causes of their measurements in favor of their own sophistry. The more things change; the more they stay the same.

    • @ImageofGodvideos
      @ImageofGodvideos 8 месяцев назад

      The eugenics movement required the belief that races are biologically real and that racial/biological differences are the cause for intellectual, moral, cultural, and other differences. The idea of race as a social construct, which critical race theory starts with, is the exact opposite. They are radically different in their foundational beliefs about race. I see a resemblance in how you characterize them, but I don't see a striking resemblance in how each academic theory has been implemented. CRT does not justify using violence against honest, peaceful people. Also, applying data to a theory is normal research for any discipline. Critical race theorists debate the meaning of statistics, they disagree with one another, and they don't come to the same conclusions. You say both ignore real causes. What do you see as the real causes of racial groups measuring differently from one another in, for example, wealth?

    • @michaelpcoffee

If you think you own something somebody else has; you'll have to prove it. You don't think wages are wealth. Does that mean that everybody like me has no wealth?

    The assertion that an entire race is conspiring to oppress and subjugate the victim class is right out of the nazi playbook. The assertion that history is being suppressed is thoroughly debunked by the fact that the history in question is common knowledge, and always has been. "More important, as critical race theorists we adopt a stance that PRESUMES that racism has contributed to ALL contemporary manifestations of group advantage and disadvantage along RACIAL lines, including differences in income, imprisonment,health, housing, education, political representation, and military service. Our history calls for this PRESUMPTION." "Words That Wound: Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech, and the First Amendment" by Matsuda, Lawrence III, Delgado, and KIMBERLE' WILLIAMS CRENSHAW Those are their words from their intellectual papers: It is the entire foundation of the premise. CRT promotes the notion that the fact that a group is measurably superior is proof that everybody in that group is guilty; and, that a group being inferior is proof that everybody in that group is a victim. Further: this principle projects through time; asserting that what happened to the long dead projects onto the guilt or victimhood of the living; even if the living never experienced it at all........... CRT uses history and statistics to justify using government force to implement racial discrimination. CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other. Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race. All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical. The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination. All the rest is academic. My answer is no.

      @@michaelpcoffee I'm sorry if I miscommunicated. I did not mean to imply that you were mystified by quoting the video description. However, I do think that your original comment is throwing around buzz words that trigger emotions rather than make substantive points. Perhaps you have read a great deal and understand CRT, but you are not writing in a way that shows you got this from those who write CRT. When you describe them as "CRTists," you are using a term most commonly found in writing against CRT, not "crits" the term most often used by crits themselves (Delgado and Stefancic, CRT: An Introduction, p. 27). When you equate CRT to nazi propaganda, I think anyone would find it hard to believe that this comes from crits themselves. And the connections to Marxist class warfare are something very often found in writing meant to trigger a gut-reaction of opposition to CRT, whereas crits themselves debate the connections to Marxism in diverse ways including indebtedness (via critical legal studies), salient difference (in the focus on race missing from Marxist class analysis), and self-critique (from those who are more Marxist in their analysis). Your other comment makes some sense, and I responded to it on the other video.

      Hi, Michael. I think I understand your frustration. You don't want the government to impose laws, policies, or practices that treat people differently on the basis of their race. That makes sense to me even though I don't feel the same desire. In the past, as I imagine you know, the U.S. government has forcibly enforced discrimination through blatantly racist laws and racist implementation of policies against people of color and in favor of White people. A core element of critical race theory is about understanding that history, the ways part of that history continue into today, and how the consequences of that history might be improved. It seems like you are taking examples of what you consider to be the worst application of the theory, and then dismissing all critical race theory based on that. About your specific points: Many critical race theorists define racism based on outcomes, as you note. The point is not to figure out who is a victim, nor to reach a "verdict." If you believe that races are not inherently or fatalistically different in anything other than appearance, then meaningful differences in racial groups come about because of social, political, economic, or historical factors. So, the question is, what factors have caused those differences, and which ones might be changed to lessen those differences? Today (as opposed to before WW2), the vast majority of people who address these problems do not think biology explains those differences (which is why eugenics is no longer a popular solution). Most conservatives say the problem is cultural: the so-called "oppressed" need to fix their cultural deficiencies to achieve greater success. On the left, many people influenced by critical race theory say the problem is racist people and policies: we need to educate people to be less racist and use race-based policies to redress wrongs. If I am correct, you don't like that strategy. However, critical race theory is not a religion where everyone has to agree on the same doctrine. In fact, the guy so many consider the founder of CRT, Derrick Bell, wrote in agreement with your point: should you support the government using FORCE to implement racial discrimination as a way to help victims of racism? With a couple of key ideas he developed, he said a resounding "NO," like you. His reasons are most likely different from yours, but he wrote about, for example, a "racial preferences licensing act" that won't force companies to implement affirmative action in hiring--they can hire whomever they want. If you read about the details, you probably won't like that policy. But, it is part of the larger idea of interest convergence (and racial realism) that he developed. If you understand interest convergence and how it might influence people's strategy in their struggle for racial justice, you'll see it is very different from using government force to bolster the perceived need of a "preferred race." Touré Reed has a great book called Toward Freedom: The Case Against Race Reductionism that is very much in sync with the idea of interest convergence (although he never uses the term). In short, he says we should have policies that substantively benefit the vast majority of people in the U.S., which is the majority of White people. Such policies will disproportionally benefit Black people because Black people are disproportionally harmed by current policies, but (like you) he believes race-based remedies aren't a viable solution. All of this is to say, one can agree with your operative question and do so through the lens of critical race theory.

    It seems to me that it might be helpful to remember just a few decades ago when divorced Christians were shunned from the church, who were considered sinful and therefore not able to be fully apart of Christian community. By and large, the Christian church has moved beyond this black and white way of approaching Christian ethics in the face of millions of lived divorced Christians' experiences. The parallels are not exact. Nobody is born "divorced". But it is an example of getting beyond the need to be judgemental before being in fellowship with other Christian sisters and brothers who don't match our idea of the Christian ideal. In reality, there is no Christian ideal, other than remaining ready -- "My heart is ready." -- to acknowledge with Peter this truth : "You are the Christ. You are the Son of G-d."

    I can relate to the point about personal understanding being a "journey." God found me when I was in my mid-20's; but for the next 50 years I continued to believe in evolution because that is what I was taught in college. Then I examined the data for the first time, initially the geologic column, and quickly realized that the evidence for a global flood is overwhelming. So what I formerly believed to be a moral story, became a historical fact. Dan

      Preston went at length talking about how God did not intend for same-sex couples. Why? Because procreation is built into the design. Of course you can disagree, but saying that "it's just not holy" is disingenuous. And Justin's view is also "someone's interpretation of scripture."

      ​@@cget but not everyone is built to procreate. That is fine. Why force 100% of people to abide by a standard they themselves cannot naturally fill. It would be one thing if a straight person chooses not to have children, but same-sex attracted people like Justin are not simply choosing to engage with the same sex, they are born or instinctively just like that. Why judge someone by a standard they naturally don't fill? It'll be like Butterflies saying humans are sinful for not flying. We weren't made that way, so it rings hollow.

    • @cget
      @cget 6 месяцев назад

      @gachamansama3703 What do you mean by "not everyone is built to procreate?" And no one said anything about forcing anything. The question is over whether or not the Bible supports same sex relations. Whatever conclusion the viewer draws away with, it's their choice to conduct themselves however going forward. And I think you mean that Justin is choosing to not engage with the opposite sex. If that's what you meant, that's also not true. He wants and seeks a relationship with a man.

    Its really fascinating to watch how hard Christians have to struggle to make sense of their bronze age superstitions in a modern context. They 're super concerned about offending audience members by outwardly saying that being homosexual is not allowed, that polyamory should be illegal, or any other things that in a modern context obviously make no sense and in which people should be free to engage in if they want. So they couch their language in friendly banter and jokes and act is if this is just a friendly academic seminar, giving extremely verbose answers to simple questions, all in an attempt to obfuscate the simple truth. That they are openly discriminating against gays, trans people, polyamorous couples, and beyond. Or he pretends that talking to audience members beforehand (29:30) can somehow undo the damage their words will have, as if all you need is a therapy session. I think the audience can see through these obvious attempts at obfuscation. They should have at least been honest, they simply think there is no room for LGBT members in the church. Don't pretend you are accepting them when you're not.

    People from the begging of Bible stories told around campfires have used the stories to prove cultural norms, intertwining the two. Genesis 2 makes woman UNEQUAL in many patriarchal evangelical churches. It's lovely that Preston now thinks we women are EQUAL! That kind of rethinking, I hope, will also cause a rereading of the challenging "anti-gay" passages in both Leviticus and Paul. (Please remember that the Old Testament does not present an ideal of "marriage between a man and ONE woman.")

That it was somehow a "third sex" both of these things were in Preston's response but it kinda skirted around everything that Justin said

    The woman talking about marriage had a very warped feminist perception of marriage as set forth by God. Marriage was never about demoralizing women. Men are to love and honor their wife. A man is to love their wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Nothing more needs needs to be said, there is nothing more beautiful than that. I actually don't feel either of these men gave solid answers to any of the questions. Very watered down Christianity. Lets just tweek the Bible to suit our desires. That's just bad theology.
