How America weaponizes motherhood By Lyz Lenz
July 30, 2020 at 6:00 a.m. PDT In Portland, Ore., a group of moms are being tear gassed as they join protesters demonstrating against racial inequality and police misconduct. Linking arms and positioning themselves between the police and protesters, the “Wall of Moms” chant, “Moms are here! Fed stay clear!” The group was founded by Bev Barnum, a Portland mom, who told BuzzFeed News that she had the idea to form the group after seeing a social media video of federal agents detaining protesters. Her idea was to use her body, her status as a mother, as a shield between police and protesters. … The experience of motherhood in America is a political question just as much as it is a question of flesh. We allow white mothers a sainthood not extended to other types of mothers. … Historically, white motherhood has been used as a cover for inciting racist policies, white flight and school segregation. In “Mothers of Massive Resistance,” Elizabeth Gillespie McRae lays bare how white women have used the term “mother” to justify racial segregation and Jim Crow laws…. Recently, President Trump used similar pearl-clutching language to attempt to prey upon the sanctimony of white motherhood. He moved to repeal a fair-housing rule he claimed would turn nice white suburban towns into crime-ridden cities. It’s a racist appeal, one that signals that the suburban home and its idealistic purity is at threat of an angry Black mob. It’s a trope he’s used before in another way, with his multiple claims that Hispanic men are “rapists” and that Americans had to stop them from coming into our country. The dog whistle is always the purity and sanctity of white women, who get to be pure, who get to be holy and who get to be virtuous as mothers. America also scorns single mothers. I learned this firsthand when I divorced three years ago.
As I’ve pointed out before, Ms. Lenz is a sad lady who believes in the SJW dogmas because it gives her somebody else to blame for her problems.
Meanwhile … the Democrats’ Coalition of the Fringes circular firing squad is further in action. From Oregon Live,
Portland’s Wall of Moms crumbles amid online allegations by former partner, Don’t Shoot PDX
Updated 6:11 PM; Today 3:50 PM By Alex Hardgrave | The Oregonian/OregonLive Portland Wall of Moms, a group formed in recent weeks and quickly recognized as a staple of nightly downtown protests, was accused publicly Wednesday of “anti-Blackness” by leaders of an existing, Black-led community group. Wall of Moms, whose members said they aimed to support and protect other Black Lives Matter protesters near the fence in front of the federal courthouse, announced Friday that its white leadership had rescinded their positions to allow women of color to be in charge. New leaders announced Friday include Teressa Raiford, executive director of Don’t Shoot Portland, Demetria Hester and Danialle James. But less than a week later, Don’t Shoot Portland took to Instagram to urge people against supporting the Wall of Moms, saying that it was no longer working with the moms group. “The lies are finally clear and we are sad but ultimately not surprised that anti-Blackness showed its ugly head,” read the post published on Wednesday by Don’t Shoot Portland, a local Black Lives Matter and mutual aid group founded in 2014. The Wednesday post alleges that Wall of Moms founder Bev Barnum filed for business registrations without consulting the newly instated Black leaders and that the safety of Black members at the nightly protests in downtown Portland was overlooked. The post said that issues of Black mothers’ safety have only come to light in the past 24 hours. Barnum appeared to file three business registrations on Tuesday including one that makes The Wall of Moms a 501c3 nonprofit. Don’t Shoot Portland interpreted the filings to mean that Wall of Moms goal was to get federal officers out of Portland — not to support Black Lives Matter, according to the Instagram post. The newly instated Black leaders were not told about the registrations, according to the post. “None of the Black leadership WOM claimed to implement knew about this,” the Wednesday post reads. “Combined with the lack of care for Black women, we were used to further the agenda unrelated to BLM.” Don’t Shoot Portland’s statement was retweeted on Twitter by the Wall of Moms’ official Twitter account. The Wall of Moms answered a commenter’s question saying, “The founder went rogue. Many of us do not agree with her decisions. And she does not currently have access to this account.”
This sounds like the kind of announcement you’d hear on Third World countries’ national radio stations during chaotic 1970s coups when The Captains overthrow The Colonels:
“The traitor Colonel Menendez has been shot by order of La Junta de los Capitanes. Remain calm and await further official announcements on Revolution Radio.”
It’s almost as if the Democrats’ Coalition of the Fringes needs straight whites to hate to have a hope of hanging together.

vdare--2020-07-30--Trump Admin Says It Will Defy Courts, Accept No New DACA Applicants

Previously : What The Heck Is Going On With DACA ?
The Department of Homeland Security announced this week it would accept no more illegal immigrants who apply for amnesty under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program .
DACA , which legalizes illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors , was reinstated last month by the Supreme Court .
Trump had scrapped it in 2017 and reportedly plans to issue a new rescission sometime soon .
A federal court ordered the Trump administration to accept new DACA applicants following the Supreme Court ’ s ruling .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do no such thing .
`` I have concluded that the DACA policy , at a minimum , presents serious policy concerns that may warrant its full rescission , '' Wolf said in a memo .
DHS plans to “ review ” DACA before proceeding with any new policy changes [ Trump Administration Refuses To Accept New DACA Applicants Despite Court Rulings , by Joel Rose , NPR , July 28 , 2020 ] .
This indicates that Trump is still committed to rescinding the amnesty enacted by Barack Obama .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was reported in early July that the president was expected to issue an executive order rescinding DACA within days..
It ’ s now almost August and there is no executive order .
The president has also made some bizarre comments about DACA , rambling in one interview he wants to offer these illegal aliens a path to citizenship .
The White House later clarified that the executive order will not offer that terrible idea and the president doesn ’ t even have the power to grant that privilege .
White House press secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no timeline for the DACA executive order , but said it would focus on “ merit-based ” immigration .
She also said that the president thinks there should be a legislative rather than executive fix to the issue .
That statement leaves a lot of ambiguity , but it ’ s better than Trump ’ s “ path to citizenship ” comment [ McEnany : Trump would like to see 'legislative fix ' to DACA , order will focus on 'merit-based immigration ' , by Morgan Phillips , Fox News , July 24 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a similarly vague answer this week about DACA .
The refusal to accept new DACA applicants is a good sign , however .
It shows Trump not bowing to the pressure from liberal judges and may still do the right thing .
But he needs to hurry up—the election is less than 100 days away .

The Department of Homeland Security announced this week it would accept no more illegal immigrants who apply for amnesty under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
DACA, which legalizes illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors, was reinstated last month by the Supreme Court. Trump had scrapped it in 2017 and reportedly plans to issue a new rescission sometime soon. A federal court ordered the Trump administration to accept new DACA applicants following the Supreme Court’s ruling. But DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf says they will do no such thing.
"I have concluded that the DACA policy, at a minimum, presents serious policy concerns that may warrant its full rescission," Wolf said in a memo. DHS plans to “review” DACA before proceeding with any new policy changes [Trump Administration Refuses To Accept New DACA Applicants Despite Court Rulings, by Joel Rose, NPR, July 28, 2020].
This indicates that Trump is still committed to rescinding the amnesty enacted by Barack Obama. But it is taking him forever.
It was reported in early July that the president was expected to issue an executive order rescinding DACA within days.. It’s now almost August and there is no executive order. The president has also made some bizarre comments about DACA, rambling in one interview he wants to offer these illegal aliens a path to citizenship. The White House later clarified that the executive order will not offer that terrible idea and the president doesn’t even have the power to grant that privilege.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany [Tweet her] offered no timeline for the DACA executive order, but said it would focus on “merit-based” immigration. She also said that the president thinks there should be a legislative rather than executive fix to the issue. That statement leaves a lot of ambiguity, but it’s better than Trump’s “path to citizenship” comment [McEnany: Trump would like to see 'legislative fix' to DACA, order will focus on 'merit-based immigration', by Morgan Phillips, Fox News, July 24, 2020].
Trump himself gave a similarly vague answer this week about DACA.
Trump, when asked about DACA: We’re going to work with a lot of people on DACA and we’re also working on an immigration bill - a merit based system. — Priscilla Alvarez (@priscialva) July 28, 2020
The refusal to accept new DACA applicants is a good sign, however. It shows Trump not bowing to the pressure from liberal judges and may still do the right thing. But he needs to hurry up—the election is less than 100 days away.

Earlier by Patrick J. Buchanan : Rising Diversity Is Joe Biden 's Worry , Too There is a real possibility that , this coming week , Joe Biden will be selecting the 47th president of the United States .
For the woman Biden picks—he has promised to exclude from consideration all men , black , brown , white or Asian—has a better chance of succeeding to the presidency than any vice presidential nominee in U.S. history , other than perhaps Harry Truman .
In 1944 , the Democratic establishment engineered the dumping of radical Henry Wallace from Roosevelt 's ticket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physical deterioration that he would not last through a full fourth term .
There are other reasons the woman Biden chooses in August may become our 47th president .
If Biden wins , he will be 78 when he takes the oath , older than our eldest president , Ronald Reagan , was when he left office after two terms .
Biden would turn 80 even before he reached the midpoint of his first term .
Moreover , Biden has suffered a transparent deterioration of his mental capacities that was nowhere evident when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paul Ryan in 2012 .
What are the odds that Biden would serve a full term ?
Of our 45 presidents , nine failed to complete the term to which they had been elected .
One resigned ; four died in office ; and four were assassinated .
All nine were succeeded by their vice president .
John Tyler became president in 1841 when William Henry Harrison died a month into office of pneumonia , following an inaugural address of nearly two hours in the cold without an overcoat .
Tyler would effect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his final days in 1845 , fail to win his party 's nomination to a full term , back the secession of Virginia in 1861 , and end his days as a member of the Confederate Congress sitting in Richmond in 1862 .
Mexican War hero and President Zachary Taylor died in his second year in 1850 , to be succeeded by Millard Fillmore , who would go on to become the 1856 nominee of the anti-Catholic , anti-immigrant American Party known to history as the `` Know Nothings . ''
Andrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lincoln at Ford 's Theater a month after Lincoln 's second inaugural .
Johnson would be impeached in 1868 by radical Republicans who wanted a more severe Reconstruction of a defeated and occupied South .
Chester Arthur succeeded James Garfield in 1881 after President Garfield suffered a mortal wound from an assassin 's bullet at a D.C. train station , only months into his first year in office .
Teddy Roosevelt became our youngest president in 1901 when he succeeded the assassinated William McKinley .
In our own time , Lyndon Johnson succeeded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1963 .
In addition to Tyler , Fillmore , Andrew Johnson , Arthur , TR and LBJ , three vice presidents succeeded to the presidency in the 20th century on the death or departure of the men who selected them : Calvin Coolidge on the death of Warren Harding in 1923 , Harry Truman on the death of FDR in April 1945 , and Gerald Ford on the resignation of Richard Nixon .
Thus , of our four dozen vice presidents , all of whom have been white men , nine have risen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fill out a term of the president who selected him .
Yet , with the pandemic crisis , the economic crisis and the racial crisis gripping the nation , what are the unique conditions Biden has set down for the person he would put a heartbeat away from the presidency ?
Biden began his selection process by eliminating and discriminating against whole categories of people .
First , no white men need apply .
Second , no man of any race , color or creed will be considered .
Gender rules them out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years has been a man .
Nevertheless , says Biden , this one has to be a woman .
`` No men need apply ! ''
automatically eliminated 17 of the 24 Democratic governors who are men , including Andrew Cuomo of New York and Gavin Newsom of California , and it eliminated 30 of the 47 Democratic members of the Senate who are men .
In the aftermath of the George Floyd killing and protests , pressure has grown on Biden not only to choose a woman but a woman of color @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If that were a criterion , it would eliminate all but a tiny few of the party 's senators and governors .
What national interest impelled Biden to so restrict the pool of talent from which a possible presidential successor would be chosen ?
Joe Biden would be the oldest man ever to serve as president .
He would enter office with visibly diminished mental capacities .
And he has decided to restrict his choice as to who should inherit our highest office by ruling out the vast majority of the most able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Party .

vdare--2020-07-30--Herman Cain, RIP: "Dark Horse" Candidate Proposed Electrified Fence On Border

Herman Cain , just died of the China Virus .
Cain was a `` dark horse '' candidate in the 2012 presidential race .
The expression `` dark horse '' has no racial connotations naturally , but when Dave Weigel wrote `` I interviewed the dark horse 2012 GOP presidential candidate ... '' he got a Tweet questioning his usage of the term .
He replied that it was the term Cain used himself , and later wrote The reason Cain was a `` dark horse '' ( i. e. an unknown , outsider candidate ) was that , like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a corporate CEO , entrepreneur , and motivational speaker with , as Weigel put it , `` as much experience in elected office as Wendell Willkie ! ''
He was n't politically correct , and on the campaign trail , questioned about his knowlege of international affairs , he said he did n't know who the President of `` Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan '' was .
Herman Cain had some great qualities , and also many of the problems of Black Republican candidates , but let 's remember that in the 2012 election , he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than a lot of white Republican candidates , and in favor of Voter ID , to prevent voter fraud .
He also proposed an electrified border fence .
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Saturday that part of his immigration policy would be to build an electrified fence on the country ’ s border with Mexico that could kill people trying to enter the country illegally .
The remarks , which came at two campaign rallies in Tennessee as part of a barnstorming bus tour across the state , drew loud cheers from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rally .
At the second stop , in Harriman , Tenn. , Mr. Cain added that he also would consider using military troops “ with real guns and real bullets ” on the border to stop illegal immigration .
The remarks were among the most pointed yet by Mr. Cain about illegal immigration , and they come as he is enjoying a surge in national political polls on the back of his victory in a recent Florida straw poll .
They also follow on remarks made by Representative Michele Bachmann on Saturday during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in which she also advocated a border fence .
It is not the first time that Mr. Cain has floated the idea of an electrified fence .
He has told the story many times of a caller to his former radio show who chastised him for talking about building a border fence , saying that such an idea was impractical .
Mr. Cain often says he told the caller that he had recently returned from China , and if the Chinese could build the Great Wall then America could build a border @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama remarked that some Republicans seemed to want a moat filled with alligators in addition to a fence , Mr. Cain responded by saying that he would indeed add an alligator-filled moat to his proposed fence , which would be topped with electrified barbed wire .
In his remarks on Saturday , Mr. Cain appeared to go a step further .
Speaking to a rally sponsored by the Roane County Tea Party , Mr. Cain said that part of his plan would be to “ secure the border for real ” with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be 20 feet high .
It ’ s going to have barbed wire on the top .
It ’ s going to be electrified .
And there ’ s going to be a sign on the other side saying , ‘ It will kill you — Warning . '
” At an earlier rally , on the campus of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville , Tenn. , he added that the sign would be written “ in English and in Spanish.

Herman Cain just died of the China Virus. Cain was a "dark horse" candidate in the 2012 presidential race. The expression "dark horse" has no racial connotations naturally, but when Dave Weigel wrote "I interviewed the dark horse 2012 GOP presidential candidate..." he got a Tweet questioning his usage of the term.
He replied that it was the term Cain used himself, and later wrote
There is a political message here, and it is “Hey, dominantly white audience – I am the least PC person you will ever meet.”
The reason Cain was a "dark horse" (i. e., an unknown, outsider candidate) was that, like 2016 victor Donald Trump, he was a corporate CEO, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker with, as Weigel put it, "as much experience in elected office as Wendell Willkie!"
He wasn't politically correct, and on the campaign trail, questioned about his knowlege of international affairs, he said he didn't know who the President of " Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan" was.
Herman Cain had some great qualities, and also many of the problems of Black Republican candidates, but let's remember that in the 2012 election, he was against illegal immigration, which is better than a lot of white Republican candidates, and in favor of Voter ID, to prevent voter fraud.
He also proposed an electrified border fence.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Saturday that part of his immigration policy would be to build an electrified fence on the country’s border with Mexico that could kill people trying to enter the country illegally. The remarks, which came at two campaign rallies in Tennessee as part of a barnstorming bus tour across the state, drew loud cheers from crowds of several hundred people at each rally. At the second stop, in Harriman, Tenn., Mr. Cain added that he also would consider using military troops “with real guns and real bullets” on the border to stop illegal immigration. The remarks were among the most pointed yet by Mr. Cain about illegal immigration, and they come as he is enjoying a surge in national political polls on the back of his victory in a recent Florida straw poll. They also follow on remarks made by Representative Michele Bachmann on Saturday during a speech on illegal immigration in Iowa, in which she also advocated a border fence. It is not the first time that Mr. Cain has floated the idea of an electrified fence. He has told the story many times of a caller to his former radio show who chastised him for talking about building a border fence, saying that such an idea was impractical. Mr. Cain often says he told the caller that he had recently returned from China, and if the Chinese could build the Great Wall then America could build a border fence. Last summer, after President Obama remarked that some Republicans seemed to want a moat filled with alligators in addition to a fence, Mr. Cain responded by saying that he would indeed add an alligator-filled moat to his proposed fence, which would be topped with electrified barbed wire. In his remarks on Saturday, Mr. Cain appeared to go a step further. Speaking to a rally sponsored by the Roane County Tea Party, Mr. Cain said that part of his plan would be to “secure the border for real” with a fence. “It’s going to be 20 feet high.

My new movie review is of Mr. Jones , the story of Gareth Jones who helped break in 1933 the story of the Ukraine famine that was being covered up Walter Duranty of the New York Times and the rest of the Western press corps in Moscow .
Peter Hitchens writes : But in some ways the most telling account of it comes in ‘ Assignment in Utopia ‘ , by Eugene Lyons , first published in 1938 .
I see from my scribblings in my copy of the book ( London , Harrap , 1938 ) that I first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was just beginning to be a regular reporter on Eastern Europe , and five years before my own assignment in Utopia , which began in June 1990 .
It greatly influenced me at that time and since .
Lyons , a disillusioned Communist ( disillusioned by his experience of the USSR ) was the Moscow Correspondent of the United Press , then one of the great international news agencies , in the Soviet Capital in in 1933 .
It is fairly certain that the totally cynical New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , had other deeper reasons for helping to suppress the story – an approaching diplomatic recognition of the Soviet regime by Franklin Roosevelt , which he wished to encourage , or had in some way been persuaded to support .
But most of the correspondents knew they had to please The Soviet State , which could have kept them from reporting the approaching trial of British engineers , working for Metropolitan Vickers of ‘ Metro-Vick ’ on absurd charges of espionage .
This would of course have wrecked their careers .
In those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature was confined to the USSR and other despotisms .
Nowadays modern Western states also have their own ways of rewarding or punishing those media and journalists who please or annoy them .
Here is Lyons ’ s account , which is on page 574 ( my emphases ) : ‘ The need to remain on friendly terms with the censors at least for the duration of the [ Metro-Vickers ] trial was for all of us a compelling professional necessity .
‘ Throwing down [ Gareth ] Jones was as unpleasant a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in years of juggling facts to please dictatorial regimes – but throw him down we did , unanimously and in almost identical formulas of equivocation .
Poor Gareth Jones must have been the most surprised human being alive when the facts he so painstakingly garnered from our mouths were snowed under by our denials .
The reporters in Moscow knew there was a famine in Ukraine , they just weren ’ t trumpeting it to their readers .
Lyons felt that Jones over-emphasized his personal trip to Ukraine as the source of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d heard a lot about the Ukraine famine from Lyons and other reporters in Moscow .
But , also , Jones had been to Ukraine a couple of years before when the hunger was getting going .
Plus the Ukrainian exile press was covering the story in the West .
Still , Jones ’ announcement on March 29 , 1933 of a famine in the southern Soviet Union caused a bit of a sensation in the West .
‘ The scene in which the American press corps combined to repudiate Jones is fresh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the evening , and Comrade Umansky [ the Kremlin censor ] , the soul of graciousness , consented to meet us in the hotel room of a correspondent .
He knew that he had a strategic advantage over us because of the Metro-Vickers story .
He could afford to be gracious .
Forced by competitive journalism to jockey for the inside track with officials , it would have been professional suicide to make an issue of the famine at this particular time .
The Soviets , after inviting in Western firms , like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a half-dozen British Metro-Vickers engineers as spies to hold as hostages .
Presumably , the Soviet logic was that if anybody decided to burn their future career in reporting from the Soviet Union over the Ukraine famine , their employers would be extra-mad if they did at a time when they were supposed to be reporting on this M-V trial .
There was much bargaining in spirit of gentlemanly give-and-take , under the effulgence of Umansky ’ s gilded smile , before a formula of denial was worked out .
‘ We admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in roundabout phrases that damned Jones as a liar .
The filthy business having been disposed of , someone ordered vodka and zakuski [ Russian hors d ’ oeuvres ] , Umansky joined the celebration , and the party did not break up until the early morning hours .
the head censor was in a mellower mood than I had ever seen him before or since .
He had done a big bit for Bolshevik firmness that night .

The Soviets, after inviting in Western firms, like Ford and Metro-Vickers, had just arrested a half-dozen British Metro-Vickers engineers as spies to hold as hostages.

PORTLAND, Ore. — I’ve been on the front lines of the protests here, searching for the “radical-left anarchists” who President Trump says are on Portland streets each evening.
I thought I’d found one: a man who for weeks leapt into the fray and has been shot four times with impact munitions yet keeps coming back. I figured he must be a crazed anarchist.
But no, he turned out to be Dr. Bryan Wolf, a radiologist who wears his white doctor’s jacket and carries a sign with a red cross and the words “humanitarian aid.” He pleads with federal forces not to shoot or gas protesters.
“Put your gun barrels down!” he cries out. “Why are you loading your grenade launchers? We’re just standing ——”
And then they shoot.
Dr. Wolf, an assistant professor at Oregon Health Sciences University, helps at a medic stand operated by volunteers from the medical school. Could they be radical-left anarchists? No, they’ve imposed order on the anarchy of the street by establishing qualifications for field medics and a hierarchy among them, so that any badly injured protester will immediately get the right kind of care.

vdare--2020-07-31--MEMO FROM MIDDLE AMERICA: Southern Baptist Convention Leaders Adopt Black Lives Matter Heresy. Time

MEMO FROM MIDDLE AMERICA: Southern Baptist Convention Leaders Adopt Black Lives Matter Heresy. Time For Christians And Patriots To Secede.

As an evangelical Christian I respect my Southern Baptist brothers and sisters in Christ and the good work they do .
I hate to see them led astray , above all by their own treacherous leadership .
My advice : Free your local church from the Wokeness that has infected the Southern Baptist Convention : secede !
—as your forefathers did ; and as many SBC congregations are already doing again .
The Southern Baptist Convention , the largest Protestant denomination in America , is generally thought as conservative because it is orthodox on questions of Baptist faith .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and a fellow-traveler with the openly Marxist Black Lives Matter .
( See here , here , and here for what other VDARE.com authors have said about the SBC 's Amnesty enthusiasm . )
And , not coincidentally , SBC is declining in membership : “ For the 13th consecutive year , the Southern Baptist Convention reported a drop in its membership ” [ Southern Baptist Convention continues statistical decline , Floyd calls for rethinking ACP process , Staff Reports , Baptist Press , June 4 , 2020 ] .
But the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cure itself because stems from depraved Southern Baptist higher education .
Thus Dr. Tom Buck , a Southern Baptist minister , has warned that Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary ( SEBTS ) is now teaching “ standpoint epistemology , ” which means you can interpret the Bible the “ Western way ” or the “ African way ” [ BUCK : Cancer growing in Southern Baptist Convention seminaries , Capstone Report , July 16 , 2020 ] .
“ There is a cancer in our convention , and if we don ’ t wake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late , ” Buck warned his coreligionists in a twitter thread .
The cancer , Capstone reported , is “ radical subjectivism ” and a “ Biblical hermeneutic that is culturally relativistic.
” Meanwhile , Southern Baptists ’ flagship educational institution , Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville , Kentucky , recently pink-slipped Dr. Russell Fuller after 22 years .
A professor of Biblical Hebrew , Fuller literally wrote the textbook used to teach the language , so he was no lightweight .
Fuller ’ s son , David , revealed why the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Email him ] canned his father : And who is Matthew Hall ?
Paradoxically , he ’ s a confessed racist : Hall has reached “ Peak Wokeness , ” as One News Now observed .
[ Seminary leader reaches peak wokeness : ' I am a racist ' , August 9 , 2019 ] In May , Professor Fuller divulged that SBTS is teaching critical race theory [ BREAKING : Former SBC Professor breaks silence about Identity Politics at SBTS , Capstone Report , May 16 , 2020 ] .
Perhaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Abilene , Texas , recently expelled student Ashleigh Brock , but not for denying fundamental doctrine or spreading heresy , or even a night of drunken revelry , but for pointing out BLM ’ s hypocrisy .
And that is heresy in the new Church of Wokeness .
On June 24 , Brock posted a nine-second TikTok video ridiculing BLM and its fellow travelers .

And “ stats ” don ’ t matter ?
What “ stats ” might those be ?

• The “ stats ” that show blacks are much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Or the “ stats ” that belie the charge that police have a systemic bias against black men ?
• How about the stats that 70 percent of black births are out of wedlock ?
The truth , of course , is that “ Black Lives Matter ” is a blood libel on white America .
But Greear is saying that truth doesn ’ t matter , a dangerous thing for a Christian leader to say .
So how does J.D .
Greear get around BLM ’ s Marxist opposition to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BLM has been Marxist from its beginning [ BLM Co-Founder Admits ; “ We Are Trained Marxists , ” Freedom Forum , July 2 , 2020 ] .

And of course , Southern Baptists—Baptist Southerners—have twice as much to prove !

SBC does not control the autonomous local congregations , nor does it own their local property—unlike the Episcopal church .
A Southern Baptist church in Anytown , U.S.A. can secede from SBC and declare its independence .
Do it now !

Above, SBC President J.D. Greear [Tweet him] explained the right way to love Black Lives Matter
Earlier: MEMO FROM MIDDLE AMERICA: Woke Southern Baptist Bureaucrats Move To Crush Local Church Rebels. Rebels Fight Back.
As an evangelical Christian I respect my Southern Baptist brothers and sisters in Christ and the good work they do. I hate to see them led astray, above all by their own treacherous leadership. My advice: Free your local church from the Wokeness that has infected the Southern Baptist Convention: secede!—as your forefathers did; and as many SBC congregations are already doing again.
The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in America, is generally thought of as conservative because it is orthodox on questions of Baptist faith. But alas, it is now “Woke” and a fellow-traveler with the openly Marxist Black Lives Matter movement. (See here, here, and here for what other VDARE.com authors have said about the SBC's Amnesty enthusiasm.)
And, not coincidentally, SBC is declining in membership: “For the 13th consecutive year, the Southern Baptist Convention reported a drop in its membership” [Southern Baptist Convention continues statistical decline, Floyd calls for rethinking ACP process, Staff Reports, Baptist Press, June 4, 2020]. But the Wokeness disease isn’t likely to cure itself because it stems from depraved Southern Baptist higher education.
Thus Dr. Tom Buck, a Southern Baptist minister, has warned that Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) is now teaching “standpoint epistemology,” which means you can interpret the Bible the “Western way” or the “African way” [BUCK: Cancer growing in Southern Baptist Convention seminaries, Capstone Report, July 16, 2020].
“There is a cancer in our convention, and if we don’t wake up soon it’ll be too late,” Buck warned his coreligionists in a twitter thread. The cancer, Capstone reported, is “radical subjectivism” and a “Biblical hermeneutic that is culturally relativistic.”
This is being taught at @SEBTS. The school is teaching a hermeneutic based on standpoint epistemology. Hermeneutics is not static but is “dynamic“ - it changes based upon your cultural context. This view isn’t just in error, it’s flat out dangerous! @DannyAkin, what say you? pic.twitter.com/cEq5tLtcVW — Tom Buck (@TomBuck) July 16, 2020
Meanwhile, Southern Baptists’ flagship educational institution, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, recently pink-slipped Dr. Russell Fuller after 22 years. A professor of Biblical Hebrew, Fuller literally wrote the textbook used to teach the language, so he was no lightweight.
Fuller’s son, David, revealed why the school’s provost, Matthew Hall [Email him], canned his father:
David Fuller warned there is a serious problem of radical leftist thinking at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He wrote of his father, “He [Dr. Fuller] is unafraid to take a stand for orthodoxy even if it means losing his job. He condemned publicly the wicked social justice movement that now rages among the faculty and leaders of Southern Seminary.” [BOMBSHELL: Fired Professor’s Family Breaks Their Silence about Mohler and SBTS, April 24, 2020].
And who is Matthew Hall? Paradoxically, he’s a confessed racist:
David Fuller said, “And in a final twist of irony, he was fired by the man he opposed so forcefully from being promoted to provost for his radically liberal views, the self-avowed racist, Matt Hall.” Hall is a self-avowed racist. He incredibly claimed on video, “I’m a racist. … I’ll struggle with racism and white supremacy till the day I die.”
Hall has reached “Peak Wokeness,” as One News Now observed [Seminary leader reaches peak wokeness: 'I am a racist', August 9, 2019].
In May, Professor Fuller divulged that SBTS is teaching critical race theory [BREAKING: Former SBC Professor breaks silence about Identity Politics at SBTS, Capstone Report, May 16, 2020].
Perhaps even more shockingly, Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, recently expelled student Ashleigh Brock, but not for denying fundamental doctrine or spreading heresy, or even a night of drunken revelry, but for pointing out BLM’s hypocrisy. And that is heresy in the new Church of Wokeness.
On June 24, Brock posted a nine-second TikTok video ridiculing BLM and its fellow travelers. It contrasts the reactions of “People when a BLACK person kills another BLACK person” (indifference) and “People when a BLACK person kills a WHITE person” (indifference), to “People when a WHITE person kills a BLACK person” (fire and outrage) [Student ousted from Christian school for TikTok ‘hate speech’ criticizing Black Lives Matter, by McKenna Dallmeyer, Campus Reform, July 1, 2020].
.@HSUTX says they are investigating a TikTok video posted by a student, which the university says is “deeply disappointing.”
Tonight on @KTXS_News — hear what other HSU students have to say about this controversial video.https://t.co/SZY1DchW0S — Daniela Ibarra (@DanielaIbarraTV) June 24, 2020
Of course Ashleigh’s video was attacked by Left Twitter. And two days later, HSU President Eric Brentmyer [Email him] addressed the university in a video.
It was a “deeply disappointing and unacceptable social media post by one of our students,” he said, which is “not reflective of the Christian values of our institution.”
Never did Brentmyer prove that Brock said or did something biblically or doctrinally unsound or evil, or “not reflective of our institution.” Instead, he intoned “we do not want to condone behavior that questions people’s worth, their value, their dignity, or their equality.”
Of course, this is nonsense. Miss Brock merely exposed the hypocrisy of those who care about some victims but not others.
Capstone summed up the insanity:
Truth is now racist. … Apparently, truth and wit are not “Christian” values at HSU. But throwing a young student to the Woke Mob is. Whatever happened to protecting those under your care? Or tolerance? Oh well, there is a Woke Mob to please and whatever it says is racist is racist. Culture Jihad is right. This is the fruit of the Wokening of the Southern Baptist Convention. [RACIST! Southern Baptist university cancels student for telling the truth, by Capstone Report, June 26, 2020]
For more evidence of how woke the SBC is, look no farther than J.D. Greear, SBC’s president [Tweet him], whose photo is at the top of this article.
In a video address to the entire denomination, the SBC president explained the proper way to think about BLM, its riots, and ideological agenda. Reformation Charlotte aptly explained it in the headline: SBC President Urges Christians to Ignore Facts and Statistics and Instead Chant Marxist Slogans [June 10, 2020].
After the 11-minute mark, Greear addressed BLM:
[W]e need to say it clearly as a Gospel issue: Black Lives Matter. Of course black lives matter. Our black brothers and sisters are made in the image of God. Black lives matter because Jesus died for them. Black lives are a beautiful part of God’s creation and … we would be poorer as a people without them. [2020 SBC President’s Message Addresses Diversity, Missions, Unity, Abuse Prevention Word and Way, June 10, 2020]
OK, but what’s Greear leading up to?
“And by the way, let’s not respond by saying oh well all lives matter. Of course all lives matter,” he continued:
[Let’s spare each other the quotation of stats right now. You know if you talk to some black friends, you’ll know that they can tell you about their experiences, how some of them can be quite different from others in our country. We want rights and privileges to be extended to everybody.
What? All lives matter but really only black lives matter?
And “stats” don’t matter? What “stats” might those be?
The truth, of course, is that “Black Lives Matter” is a blood libel on white America. But Greear is saying that truth doesn’t matter, a dangerous thing for a Christian leader to say.
So how does J.D. Greear get around BLM’s Marxist opposition to the traditional family?
[T]he movement and the website has been hijacked by some political operatives whose world view and policy prescriptions would be deeply at odds with my own. But that doesn’t mean that the sentiment behind it is untrue.
“Hijacked?” BLM has been Marxist from its beginning [BLM Co-Founder Admits; “We Are Trained Marxists,” Freedom Forum, July 2, 2020].
“I do not align myself with the Black Lives Matter organization,” Greear continued, “and I think saying bold things like defund the police is unhelpful and deeply disrespectful to many public servants.”
But as a practical matter he is aligning himself with BLM.
At SBC’s annual convention in June, Greear urged SBC to “retire” the historic Broadus gavel with which it has opened meetings since 1872. The gavel is named for John A. Broadus, slave-owner who supported the Confederacy and helped found Southern Baptists Seminary [J. D. Greear Urges SBC to Retire Historic Gavel from Slaveholding Preacher, by Adelle Banks, Religion News Service, June 10, 2020].
“Here we were, a convention of nearly 48,000 independent, autonomous churches, meeting in a city that has been filled with [a] horrific history of civil rights abuses, making historic moves in the areas of diversity, abuse, and mission, using a gavel named after a Southern Baptist who owned slaves and was deeply involved in our founding,” he said.
In other words, the leader of America’s biggest Protestant denomination is demonizing his church, founded by sincere Christians who were concerned about real problems, and their country.
Why the Baptist leadership’s radical shift left? Most likely, elite Baptists yearn for respect from secular society, which they sure won’t get for opposing abortion and same-sex marriage. Thus, they go overboard on the race issue.
And of course, Southern Baptists—Baptist Southerners—have twice as much to prove!
All patriotic members of Southern Baptist churches should be appalled.
There’s a solution: secession.
Baptists believe in “local church autonomy,” as Greear himself said. SBC does not control the autonomous local congregations, nor does it own their local property—unlike the Episcopal church. A Southern Baptist church in Anytown, U.S.A. can secede from SBC and declare its independence.
My advice to Baptists: Get your local congregation out of the Southern Baptist Convention. Free your local church from the growing “Wokeness” infecting the Southern Baptist Convention.
Become a free congregation, responsible only to God and each other, not to woke charlatans like J.D. Greear and Eric Brentmyer.
Wouldn’t that be great?
Do it now!

“[Shouting] I’m so tired of it. I am so tired.

A fun correction in the New York Times on their version of this story:
Did the New York Times just confuse George Floyd with George Michael of “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” fame?
Or was his hit “Karma Chameleon?” Or maybe “While My Guitar Gently Weeps?” Perhaps Mr. Floyd’s hit was “Another Brick in the Wall?”
Somebody should ask Joe Biden to help straighten out the NYT’s confusion. [Comment at Unz.com]
