In this 2 minute clip, I overlay the actual words from the source Voddie sites so you can see what he does.
Whether you have read @VoddieBaucham Fault Lines or are concerned about #CriticalRaceTheory , this is a must watch.
Please retweet as this needs to get out.
A cartoon about my father from the 1960’s.
At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States.
Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but invoke him now to deter justice and truth.
This is just the beginning of a wave of reckoning, healing and restoration. The spirits of our children have finally reached the world for justice. Brace yourself. Sit with this. Hope is rising.
Wear a mask.
Even when you think you don’t need one, wear it anyway.
Wash your hands.
Even if you think you don’t need to, do it anyway.
Stay home as much as possible.
Even if you think you don’t need to, do it anyway.
Let’s protect one another.
@jennylbenson I have been listening so far. It’s been sad and interesting and a little satisfying actually. I am glad someone is saying this stuff out loud AGAIN.
The community of ?Aq'am, a member of the Ktunaxa Nation, says 182 unmarked graves were discovered using ground-penetrating radar to search a site close to the former St. Eugene's Mission School. https://t.co/OXbGNVAbte
“The American church will not be able to hide from its history of complicity in the treatment of Indigenous peoples— and the ongoing colonization Indigenous peoples continue to face today.” Op-Ed @KaitlinCurtice at RNS

An unspoken reason why #CriticalRaceTheory causes panic and fear in so many white and Christian circles is because #CRT intentionally centers and amplifies the voices of people of color.
We do not talk about Indian Boarding Schools in the US. We do not talk about history of genocide and forced assimilation. We do not acknowledge that colonization is ongoing.
But as Indigenous peoples we are still here.
We don’t forget.
"Off the reservation"
"Indian giver"
"Circle the wagons"
"Send in the cavalry"
"Too many chiefs and not enough Indians"
These are only a few examples of violent, racist language aimed at Indigenous peoples. Just stop.
The reason white evangelicals are opposed to #CriticalRaceTheory is b/c it runs counter to the myth of American exceptionalism. And American exceptionalism is the coping mechanism for a nation in deep denial of its genocidal past and its current racist reality. #UnsettlingTruths
Rick Santorum’s horrific comments against Native Americans should earn him an immediate firing from CNN. And what’s this ‘we’ stuff Rick, your dad’s name was Aldo and he came here on a boat from Italy, your Mom was Irish descent. You’re an immigrant like the rest of us asshole.
