Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@mrestimated says : Wow, the shouting is hard to listen to. Why is he yelling at the audience?>> <<@howardowens721 says : I applaud Frank for his robust attack on racism. For an overview of Critical Theory, this is a good introduction for anybody who isn't familiar with it. Those aren't the parts of the video I disagree with. I think he gets Biblical justice wrong. Yes, one element, in specific contexts, God's justice is not something you want to experience, but there is another aspect of God's justice that we want to experience -- that is our Kingdom commission to bring order to chaos, by feed and clothing the poor, visiting the widow and the prison, caring for the forigner, loving our neighbor That is God's justice, too, some thing MAGA Christianity loves to ignore. Regarding systematic racism, I think Frank glosses over an important point. Past sins have resonance today. Redlining in the 1950s, which Frank discusses, reverberates today. It robbed many black families of building generational wealth. We shouldn't ignore the injustice, though I don't have a good policy idea to address, but to act like it doesn't matter has its own kind of cruelty. He's wrong about Obama and his assertion that Obama repealed or "gutted" Clinton's reforms. Obama left the reforms on the books but allowed states to experiment with work requirements to try to achieve better outcomes. It's flat out wrong to say, even three years ago, "now we're paying people not to work." Under TANF, adults in most states still face time limits and are typically required to work, job-search, or participate in approved activities to keep benefits; unconditional lifetime cash assistance of the pre-1996 kind no longer exists. Frank misrepresents Jefferson's "wall of separation." The Danbury Baptists were complaining about their state’s quasi‑established Congregational order; Jefferson used the letter to signal opposition to church–state “alliances” and to explain why, as president, he would not issue official religious proclamations (fasts, thanksgivings) modeled on British practice.  In drafts of the letter, he even wrote of a “wall of eternal separation between church and state,” then toned the wording down, but the point remained: he wanted clear institutional separation to protect liberty of conscience from civil authority. The Supreme Court first drew on Jefferson’s metaphor in 1878, and more famously in 1947, quoting his “wall of separation” line as an authoritative explanation of the Establishment Clause’s meaning.  Modern courts do not treat the phrase as if it were text in the Constitution, but as a powerful summary of the idea that government may not establish religion or interfere with its free exercise, while individuals and churches still remain free to speak, vote, and advocate in public life. Frank has a blind spot when it comes to MAGA Christianity. He thinks that when the walls start closing, Christians will pull together on primary issues and set aside secondary issues. But the biggest secondary issue today in the church is politics. We're deeply divided. There are tens of millions of faithful Christians, and I'd like to include myself in that number, who totally reject MAGA Christianity. In my discussion with some of that MAGA crowd, I know there are those among them who won't accept me as a fellow Christian because I don't support their leader.>> <<@beeetsbyRay says : The premise of this whole presentation is false, CRT does not explicitly state anywhere that they strive to achieve “equity of outcome”.>> <<@Addeladlestj says : Paul was a charlatan and liar. The gospels were written many decades after jesus' death in a language he did not speak by people who never met him in lands he never visited. The events of the old testament are almost entirely fictional.>> <<@salsafirejrivera1037 says : The young lady at the 1:28 mark is speaking from an emotional point. I’m a Latino that grew up in the inner city in the 80’s and eventually learned to stop making excuses for MY actions. The “severe suffering” the she spoke about was prevalent in the 40’s, up to parts of the 80’s. Racism still exists, I’m not naive, but not like in those years. We ALL have the same opportunity to advance in America!!>> <<@salsafirejrivera1037 says : They view contradicts itself in one sentence. Whoopi says, you have to teach the “correct” history and can’t deny the fact that white people owned slaves, but failed to mention that blacks owned slaves as well.” Hypocrisy at its best!!>> <<@TheAnimeMusicHistorian says : 1:32>> <<@micheleriley4514 says : JESUS was against religious hypocrisy and social injustice. He was against systems of oppression and practices . Romans 2:11 there is no respect of persons with GOD. James 2:9 if ye are a respecter of persons ye commit sin and convinced by the law as a transgressor. In 1808 the Slave Bible was created to keep them in control. They took out the Old testament and parts of the New Testament. Roe vs Wade was a decision written by a Republican Jurist appointed by Nixon. Critical Race theory was at first a college course>> <<@DaddyKratos911 says : Breaking down statues isn't keeping history is it?>> <<@DaddyKratos911 says : No gifted classes...... Yea see what happens>> <<@DaddyKratos911 says : His mom had an open casket>> <<@rsempel1 says : the one with the one talent I believe is a non believer who was contrary to christian faith because he willingly hid the money while he could have gone to a bank and have interest at the end. Also the end of the one talent person is apparently hell. So I believe the 1 talent person was a person who was against God in his or heart thats why he hid the talent and made up an excuse for his or her behaviour and that made this person end up in hell.>> <<@Understimated. says : I was afraid to click this, however, I am 28, black, female and married to a white man. I began seeing the issue with CRT mind set when people said I cant have an opinion because I have a white husband. It became personal and I faced the reality that something was very very wrong. I never saw it until it was placed on me.>> <<@andrewelsey7741 says : Dr I’m sorry but you’re going to hurt many people but leading those against CRT>> <<@johnsanabria3279 says : Minor date mistake: It had to be Dec. 26 1944, not 1945.>> <<@tineye7755 says : "There are only two races: the race of decent people and the race of indecent people. Precisely because we know that the decent are in the minority, each individual is called upon to strengthen and support this minority." -Viktor Frankl>> <<@kaylajones1689 says : no one will see this comment but on the off chance, i just have to mention that the way intersectionality is being framed here is a deliberate demonized misrepresentation of a relatively simple and neutral concept, that being that it’s important to consider all aspects of identity when trying to understand how oppression works.>> <<@Heavy.is.the.head83 says : Racism is the most protected and defended sin in Christianity today. Furthermore, while blacks fought (and I do mean a literal fight) for civil rights they experienced dogs and firehoses, lynchings, and riots. The Christian outcry concerning "reverse racism" is for our hurt feelings and discomfort when they demand justice. We conveniently forget this is a RESPONSE to what they have gone through.>> <<@edwardwilliams8261 says : Derwin Gray calls CRT a straw man. I’m not sure why you use him as an example of race relations. I understand that he has an integrated church but he doesn’t see a problem with CRT.>> <<@Les-i7e says : You dont have to beileive in a God. To be a good person.>> <<@bernardhenderson1146 says : First you have to acknowledge that there was wrong done and continues to be done... They use to go to church in the AM and kill at night...>> <<@echoftw says : Ben Shapiro is not a straight white male...>> <<@rocketscientisttoo says : Yes, we Americans have had a horrible history of racism but it was not from the beginning. I just watched a Charlie Kirk "Turning Point" event at Fullerton, California where he pointed out that Vermont abolished slavery in 1777 two years after Ben Franklin held the first anti-slavery convention in Philadelphia in 1775, and that 9 of the original 13 colonies independently abolished slavery before the Constitution was ratified in 1787.>> <<@Soft_Dusty_Rhodes says : I have a major problem with one thing: I've never heard my pastor talk about race, ever, and there's no racial messaging anywhere in the documentation and imagery around the church. Yet, the congregation is composed of many different groups, everyone gets along, and no one ever finds the need to bring up skin color. It's probably majority white, but so is the country, why is that a bad thing? Our congregation well represents the ethinic makeup of the area as a whole, which means our church appeals to all groups equally, and all without ever mentioning skin color. I would not attend the church Frank was talking about, because I believe hiring a preacher based on skin color IS racist, and frankly if people refuse to attend a service with a pastor of a different color than them, isn't that an indication that they themselves have the racism problem? Why would we cater to that? What we should be doing is treating everyone equally and preaching the gospel, not appealing to racists. Honestly, what's so hard about that?>> <<@Ladynilow says : I’m not impressed with this at all, he is going around in circles , he says everything that a rational person would agree with (even the oppressed person) but somehow manages to end on the conclusion only privileged folks would come to ( the people he identified as oppressors) which includes himself - then he identifies this problem as the oppressed refusing to use logic?? What !! 😂when the truth is he has a thick wall of cement in his ears, even though he is listening and parroting what is being said , he actually doesn’t understand what is being said by the groups he claims are irrational. Which makes him irrational 😂 but only on this subject, he is usually the most rational person in the room>> <<@Scandalous420 says : Title says CRT vs Christianity... proceeds to talk about Critical Theory. Those 5 fundamentals are not CRT. Thanks for the Sowell quote... describes magats to a T.>> <<@HankThomas-c9l says : I think the most racist thing that anyone can say is to call another person racist.>> <<@Enfectius says : So that's why discriminating Muslim is not racism because we know they are evil.>> <<@mashah1085 says : If the Bible is "clear on opposing slavery"...how did Southern white Christians explain keeping slaves? There should have been NO WAY for them to interpret the Bible saying slavery was "okay"...none at all.>> <<@ptortland says : CRT is right out of Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rules For Radicals.” Pitting people and groups against each other is a great way to undermine society and concentrate power in the hands of a few. It’s exactly what the Nazis did in Germany.>> <<@allenbrininstool7558 says : There is no CRT, it’s an ultra right wing political conspiracy theory>> <<@normLoue says : Turek is a racist and white supremacist.>> <<@N34stryker says : How about getting rid of affirmative action as that is blatant discrimination and belittles the minorities that benefit. It's unconstitutional.>> <<@dustencross357 says : The color of my skin is white, however i get pulled over by the police all the time. Explain that....?>> <<@patriciaguerin3663 says : Frank is misrepresenting CRT. CRT is looking at how laws affect race. Conservatives are calling all attempts at teaching racial history and anti racist theory wrong. Christianity is as irrational as any other theory. It has no claim to reason.>> <<@socialsigh says : An oppressed group must be liberated... Isn't that what the Messiah was supposed to do for the Jewish people?>> <<@jeremykoch777 says : I think your audience would quietly admit that Trump is their commanding officer.>> <<@gaynorkelly9413 says : EXCELLENT presentation....I felt lost as a Christian of colour that only heard 'crickets' in the church as the world seemed to fall into chaos after the George Floyd issue. Thank God....Jesus and his Word are my foundation. At least now, I know people on Youtube I can turn to.>> <<@IgnisInternus says : If anyone else is interested in this subject, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is also an excellent speaker on how uniting through Christ can help look and move past racism.>> <<@ewuraamaetruwaasam7084 says : Nice presentation, but the way you handled slavery in the Bible is some way. If slavery in the Bible was voluntary, why were there laws about hitting slaves, etc? If there were laws about hitting house help today, how would you respond?>> <<@ramonpooser2434 says : There’s an enormous problem with critical race theory. It’s severely flawed, and it’s a subject matter that many people don’t care to discuss. Since CRT is what it is it’s an excuse to discuss and dismiss the topic of race as it relates to CRT that otherwise few white people care to talk about anyway. So crank up a discussion about CRT or Black Lives Matter and the subject can be crossed off the bucket list. The Bible says too much about race for the same old games of bigotry, ignorance and prejudice to be used in the place of needed critical Christian thought.>> <<@chrispatillo840 says : I’m disappointed in you frank you didn’t do your homework to quote mLK and not what he said months before his death smh you know better and to really think just teaching our history of what happened in slavery and how whites where not acting like how Jesus taught but of the devil to treat my people this way is disrespectful if you want to learn the truth and not guess ask those who know what it Reid and not spread this false narrative of Republican political propaganda>> <<@tracyavent-costanza346 says : @07:22 while preaching to the choir I assume that frank is expecting some kind of jeezus-ian response from the seats. the trouble with which is that this "commander" was executed around AD33 and is still dead. hiro was fortunate that at least suzuki could FIND HIS OLD COMMANDER and get him to the islands where hiro was. otherwise he had no one to directly take a stand-down order from. I doubt that the emperor would have done it, since he was pretty much no longer serving and hiro would not have likely known his face anyhow. really frank's elaborate story is a false parallel but what else is new with his dramatic style.>> <<@tracyavent-costanza346 says : @4:18 no, that is not the least bit unheard of in the USA. it is just couched in different terms. parents of indoctrinated children, often bid them to go and die for jeezus. The branch davidians and the waco whackos were among those whose children were expected to die for the cause along with everyone else. nor it is historically unique since spartans were typically told to return from battle with their shields or upon them.>> <<@tracyavent-costanza346 says : @1:34 on december 26th 1945 world war II was over. VJ day was 14 august 1945. god gave us the miracle of internet search engines sometime after his divorce from the jews I guess.>> <<@tracyavent-costanza346 says : @frank @0:22 if you are "trying to get away from it", then why do you 1) claim your book to be a standard for how "right" you are to judge everyone else 2) claim your book to have come from some magically moral authority 3) claim your book to magically survive intact and monolithic 4) claim your INTERPRETATION of it to be somehow sacrosanct 5) conveniently ignore the history of vile acts by your ideological forbears 6) constantly attempt to restore the political power of your cabal despite their historical record of conduct>> <<@Zatarra48 says : Great advice to be found here.>> <<@derekardito2032 says : That's the very core of religion, to cause division, it's the cause of every conflict ever involving the western world, spreading its poison east as shown in the present Ukraine/ Russia, and Palestinian conflicts. Frank himself has even made bigoted ,racist, derogarory remarks of Palestinians in favour of Jewish Zionist.>> <<@Puntycocoa says : Love this>> <<@AlohiLiora says : Not a Ben Shapiro fan. He's a hypocrite. Anyone who goes along with white and black as races are hypocrites and add to this racist country lol the least racist nation? Hm hm hm let us see.>>
