A major part of CRT is its presuppositions—which it demands you accept, including:
• Racism is engrained in the fabric & system of the American society
• Power structures based on white privilege & white supremacy exist & must be overthrown.
Does this seem like a “boogeyman”? 1
Therefore, "Does racism exist in this situation" is never the right question. Rather, it's, "How is the racism we KNOW is present here working?" CRT demands that you assume racism. Suggesting otherwise is racist. Even asking for evidence is racist. 2/
The only hope of being (partially) justified in the CRT worldview is to:
1) accept its presuppositions, admit the inherent if unconscious racism of all white people & black people who disagree because of "internalized whiteness," 3/
2) give yourself to lifelong penance by becoming an "anti-racist," which means committing to seeing racism everywhere in all people, rebuking it (& them), calling attention to it, & dismantling it. This form of atonement is lifelong.

Still sound like a boogeyman? 4/
If a white person questions any of this he is a racist. If a black person questions this he is dehumanized as not "authentically black." That is, he has a "black body but not a black voice."

CRT is materialistic, Godless, unfalsifiable, & committed to deconstructing society. 5/
Calling CRT out, renouncing it, & warning against it are no more divisive for Christians than is renouncing gnosticism, materialism, bigotry, or adultery. To see Christian leaders suggest otherwise is a commentary on them. Failure to renounce CRT is a dereliction of duty. 6/
Any Christian leader who understands CRT & refuses to reject it is not a trustworthy guide in the battle that is raging. Anyone who promotes it is either too naive to be a leader or has become complicit with the enemy against Christ.

There is no neutral ground. 7/7
