Critical race theory has become the philosophic foundation supporting a Marxist communist agenda sweeping American society, according to philosophy professor Jason Hill.

Acting as racial managers or agents for African Americans, practitioners of critical race theory (CRT) are after power and aim to “destroy all those foundational values, all those codified values, and principles that we use in times of crisis,” Hill said in a recent interview with Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders” program.

Critical race theorists “want to first erase personal identity, then erase history, erase those codified values to usher in a new, what I would call, Marxist communist agenda in our society,” he added.

CRT’s view of America as systemically racist is “a misperception of reality,” Hill said. This central proposition—that the oppression of African Americans still persists today—is then used to justify CRT practitioners speaking on behalf of all black Americans, depriving the community of their own agency, according to Hill. But these activists don’t actually care about uplifting the black population, he added.

Alabama Representative Mo Brooks, discussing Critical Race Theory in the military, condemned the ideology, insisting earlier this year that it dangerously promotes Marxism and racism.

“It teaches people to discriminate against each other based on their skin pigmentation. That is wrong. It tries to divide Americans based strictly on skin pigmentation, calling one group the oppressor class, the other group the oppressed class and recommends that the so-called oppressed class, again based strictly on skin pigmentation” Brooks said. “It is strictly race-based and encourages the so-called oppressed race to rise up and do what is necessary to eliminate the oppressing race. And that is racial division of the worst kind.”

“Any time you use a broad brush like this where you condemn one group of people solely based on their skin pigmentation, and you elevate another group of people solely because of their skin pigmentation, that’s wrong because, in America, you’ve got all ethnicities, all skin pigmentations that are in all segments of life, OK? Wealthy, middle-class, poor, president of the United States, United States senators, congressmen, governors — we don’t divide ourselves based on race or ethnicity evidenced by economic activity and how well people are doing regardless of race. But Critical Race Theory punches that right in the nose,” he underscored. “It eliminates the idea that you can achieve a lot in America if you just seize the opportunities you have with the God-given talents you’ve been blessed with.”

Answers In Genesis, in their article, “Three Biblical Problems with Critical Race Theory,“ exposed the anti-Biblical nature of CRT.

“The first biblical problem for critical race theory is that it’s built on an unbiblical category of the word race,” the AiG article explains. “We all descended from our first parents, Adam and Eve. The Apostle Paul tells us, ‘And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth.’ (Acts 17:26). Paul restated what God had previously stated in Genesis 1:27, ‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.’ God did not create separate Indians, Irish, Nigerians, or Egyptians. Instead, God made two people, and from those two people, every other human being descended. Every person is united by our same first parents, and we are members of one race, the human race.”

“The second biblical problem with critical race theorists is their insistence on ethnic superiority and discrimination against ‘whites,’ which many actually admit,” the article states. “CRT-inspired theorists, ministers, and actors overtly aim to elevate some ‘races’ over other races and discriminate in the process. This is the very definition of racism or biblical ethnocentrism.”

“One ‘race’ is not better than another ‘race.’ We are all made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). God didn’t create ‘blacks’ or ‘whites’ in his image. All people, regardless of skin color, were made to reflect the Creator’s image,” they underscore. “Through Christ, the former ethnic barriers are being torn down. In speaking about the traditional animosity between Jews and Gentiles, the Apostle Paul wrote, ‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus’ (Galatians 3:28). Thankfully, Christ unites people from different backgrounds. He does not divide and discriminate as in CRT, which is why critical race theory is anti-biblical.”

“The third and final biblical problem with critical race theory is its religious nature. CRT, in short, is a religion at odds with biblical Christianity,” the ministry continues. “It has a new original sin: racism. Instead of pointing people to the Fall of Adam and Eve recorded in Genesis 3, crits point to the core ‘sin’ in society as racism. Thirdly, CRT defines a new law: the ‘Work’ of Antiracism. It’s not enough to be against racism. One must actively fight against racism as an ‘anti-racist’ in their religion.”

“We don’t have to follow the false religion of critical race theory to have hope for ethnic tensions to fade,” they conclude. “God has given us an opportunity to be reconciled to himself through Jesus and the good news of the gospel. Moreover, Christians have a robust, biblical worldview that acknowledges distinctions between ethnicities and promotes ethnic reconciliation. God has graciously given us a solution to racism and division between people groups through Christ. There is no reason to be swayed by critical race theory. We have everything we need in Christ.”

When Jesus’ disciples came to Him and asked, “What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Jesus explained to them that one of the signs that would precede His coming would be “nations” rising against “nations.”

The word “nations” found in this verse (Matthew 24:7) is from the Greek word “ethnos,” where we get our English word for “ethnicity.” Therefore, this verse can also be read that “ethnicity shall rise against ethnicity” in the last days.

Racism is not new. However, what is new to our generation is the fabricated racism taught in schools, espoused by media and reiterated by politicians. This stoking of division will, in the not too distant future, lead to genuine widespread racism. Racism is a sin, we are all created in the image of God. Creating division and hatred is a sin (Prov. 6:16-19, Luke 11:17, 1 John 2:9). All of these things are deeply rooted in a rebellion against God, His Word, and His design.
