Critical Race Theory is one branch of Critical Theory, the philosophy of the Frankfurt School, a group of atheistic, Marxist intellectuals who moved to America and settled in elite universities and think-tanks. Critical Theory holds that no principle of civilization should go unquestioned. It treats Western traditions, including Christianity and the Bible, as either arbitrary or part of an ancient conspiracy to keep power in the hands of wealthy, straight white males, and it sets out to deconstruct them. Its adherents spread their ideas by undermining language and by placing disciples in schools, universities, media, politics, and government, forming generation after generation of progressives. Critical Race Theory begins by assuming America is rotten to the core, founded on white supremacy and patriarchy. It teaches that race is a social construct meant to uphold white privilege, that one's identity group determines how accurately one understands the world, and that racism is so pervasive that every interaction between a white person and a person of color is marked by an imbalance of power. It is the philosophy behind modern social justice, Antifa, and Black Lives Matter, which together account for most of the violent unrest across the country. Race is the tip of the spear after feminism and homosexuality failed to overthrow the constitutional republic. It is a conscious Marxist attempt to destabilize the West and create the conditions for a revolution against capitalism. It is about power, not race. Because Marxism is driven by hatred of God, this movement fits Paul's end-time description of men who have a form of godliness but deny its power, and it is a sign of the times that Christians must discern.
