How is that relevant to this conversation?
I have already told you why the Oneness view of God's nature is not coherent. There is interpersonal activity between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Oneness view is like a puppetmaster putting different puppets on his hand and pretending like they have relationships. Anyone who wants to can go back and review what I"ve already said.

Here's a page by a young lady who advocated critical theory earlier in her life, but has rejected it due to the unbiblical teachings:

"Woke ideology" involves critical theory within the Church.
Here's a video explaining this :
Unfortunately groups such as the Gospel Coalition and Southern Baptist Convention are promoting elements of critical theory in their teaching. Matt Chandler, JD Greear and Thabiti Anyabwile have also made remarks indicative that they support this false ideology. These individuals are people I respected at some level at one point, but if I was a pastor of a church, I would mark them as having aberrant theology at this point.

Here's another news item related to this issue...
Scott Volland, a pastor in Mississippi, claimed that his church (The Heights) fired him due to his promotion of Black Lives Matter, including supporting Black Lives Matters protests and removing statues.
Apparently he decided to take this to the media in protest.
I have a lot of problems with this man and his approach.
One, the church itself has good reason to avoid the Black Lives Matters movement. As outlined in other posts, this movement is a racist movement that promotes homosexuality, transgenderism, and abortion, as well as the elimination of capitalism. They are a cultural Marxist organization.
However, the implication that the media (and the pastor) promotes is, I believe, meant to claim that this church is racist. As any thinking Christian can see (and those might be rare today), there are plenty of good reasons to avoid association with this movement besides racism, and in my opinion the church board was right to dismiss him.
Two, this alleged "pastor" (the word means in essence "shepherd") is placing his former congregation under the possibility of destruction of property or perhaps having their lives threatened. Would a real shepherd do this?
True, he is not receiving a paycheck from them anymore, but he should care about their well-being, and should be smart enough to realize that BLM thugs might attempt to burn the church or harm the members.
In my opinion, his credentials should be pulled, or at the very least, he should be under strong church discipline if he is part of an association that practices church discipline. Unfortunately, in the USA, just about any person with the desire can become a pastor, regardless of his character, education or stability.
I am extremely disappointed that the media is instigating this sort of conflict within our society...I am not for one moment fooled by their complicity in this Black Lives Matter rioting and looting.
As for Scott Volland, I suspect he is nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has shown his willingness to toss those under his care under the bus, so I don't think that I would want to be shepherded by him. A lot of guys like this are wanting to position themselves as "valiant defenders of the truth" when in reality they are opportunistic wolves. Beware, folks.

This isn't "critical race theory" you are describing.
Its RACISM you are describing.
If you belong to a certain RACE then you deserve certain PUNISHMENT. If you belong to a certain other RACE then you deserve praise and support.
That's racism in a nutshell.
That's why they hate the term All Lives Matter. They want this to be about race. Because they themselves are racist.
Those who are not racist don't care about race and UNDERSTAND that the sins of the individual belong to the individual and DO NOT belong to the Whole Race.
If you are white and you think all black people hate you, why would you think that unless you are RACIST? Because you hate all of them they must all hate you. It absolutely works in reverse with ANY and ALL races.

Whats sad is all the other deaths/killings.. don't get talked about. What was it yesterday a 2 y was killed. And a 13y girl (another one) hit in the head with a bullet.
What I liked.. was watching black people (I say black because so far they have been the only ones) saying the people watching what happen to floyd should be charged. I was like.. WOW.. thats exactly what I was thinking. So many times in my life.. I do run in..where the rest just watch. I could careless it was cop.. anyway.
Its just.. shocking/crazy how ALL the other deaths get no voice by the left media.
As for google.... they have always been like this.

My question is more rhetorical than anything else, designed to stimulate true thought.
As for sides, I am not, nor will I be political since there is not a one politician I like enough to cloud my faith in the King. Actually, today, I do not care for any politician.. You see, they are politicians albeit from a grass roots movement or the tried and true established parties. Noe: true is simply an expressive modish description.

"Social justice movement" focuses on EQUAL OUTCOMES and not EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
For instance, if you work your butt off and earn 100,000 a year, and I am lazy and receive 20,000 a year, you have to give me You have to give me 40,000 a year so that we have equal outcomes....no matter how lazy I am.
This is especially true if I am an oppressed person, such as a minority or sexual pervert (homosexual or transgender).
Same thing with all power...you have to surrender your power if you are part of the "oppressor class" and give it to me, if I am a minority...
In fact, CRT or SJW is basically about power AND wealth.
And, if someone with your same skin tone oppressed someone with my same skin tone 200 years ago, you have to pay me "reparations". It doesn't matter if that person was your ancestor or not..all that matters is the skin tone. For example, if an Amish guy (who never held slaves) lives in the USA, he needs to pay reparations simply due to his skin tone.
But, they ignore the fact that a black man, Anthony Johnson, was one of the first slave owners in the USA.
