BRETT: The issue of critical race theory is popping up seemingly everywhere, and not just in the world of academia. It\u2019s popping up in the popular culture as well, and there are people who are being targeted as a result of critical race theory — and are being stifled — who are not just part of the patriarchy or the traditional white institutions of power.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One of these people has stepped forward to speak about this, and his name is Dr. Voddie Baucham:<\/a> “Why Anti-Rracism Zealots Are Trying to Silence Black Voices Like Mine — As a Christian minister, I\u2019m used to being stifled when I talk about my religion outside of church. If I bring up faith in Jesus Christ, the guardians of the secular public square are quick to inform me that my religion is strictly a private matter.<\/p>\n

“But these days I\u2019m stifled not because of the religion I practice but because of one I reject: the religion of anti-racism, which is now the established church of academia, government, the media and business.” What\u2019s left? What is there? “One dogma of this new religion is that America ‘needs to have a conversation\u2019 about race. But Americans have been talking about race since at least the 1860s.<\/p>\n

“Nobody is trying to avoid talking about race, but many are trying to control what is said,” he notes. “Nobody is trying to avoid talking about race, but many are trying to control what is said. The elites of our society urge us to ‘elevate black voices,\u2019 but it is important to understand what they mean. They don\u2019t want to elevate all black voices, but only those who subscribe to the creed of Critical Race Theory.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t avow that our society is infected with systemic racism and that white supremacy, white privilege, and white fragility are the root of all of the problems that black people face, then you are a heretic,” writes Dr. Baucham. “Your consciousness is ‘white\u2019 and therefore oppressive, no matter how black your skin may be.”<\/p>\n

He notes, “I am a descendant of slaves and a child of the Great Migration, but antiracists will tell you that I\u2019m not really black. I suffer from internalized racism, they insist; I\u2019m trying to ‘curry favor with white people,'” he says in quotes. “They dismiss me and other black nonconformists as sellouts, traitors, or Uncle Toms who are ‘skinfolk, but not kinfolk.\u2019<\/p>\n
