The Escalation of the War Against the White Race – Part 2

In Part 1, I described the pervasive anti-White agenda promoted in public and private schools. But it’s not just in the secular, non-religious schools, but equally inescapable in “Christian” schools. In this article, I share the evidence from a popular “Christian” magazine – Christianity Today.

Specifically, what is the declarative position of professing, biblically-based schools in light of the recent Supreme Court decision against affirmative action in respect to race-based college admissions?

Anti-White Diversity

The following contains numerous reactions from Christian schools from a recent Christianity Today Magazine article: 1

The US Supreme Court ruled against race-based college admissions last month, raising questions about the future of diversity efforts in higher education. But leaders at many evangelical colleges don’t expect the decision to hinder their efforts to promote diversity.

“For most Christian institutions, I don’t think there’s going to be a significant change in our recruiting practices or our admissions policies,” said James Steen, Houston Christian University’s vice president of enrollment management.…

…leaders of Christian colleges told CT they are taking this moment to clearly communicate the biblical heart behind the diversity efforts at their institutions. Pursuing a diverse student body, they say, is part of a larger mission and a critical way they seek to serve their communities.…

The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) statement released after the Supreme Court ruling did not specify whether the decision would affect any evangelical schools. The CCCU noted a variety of views on affirmative action, saying that the decision would be seen as “a tragedy to some and [as] the reversal of a wrong to others.

According to the CCCU, while the ruling “narrowed the specified tools permissible to attain diverse student bodies,” evangelical higher education will nonetheless “continue to value all students, but in particular, as it relates to this case, students of color from the United States and around the world.”

Lena Crouso, CCCU’s senior advisor and fellow for diversity, said the organization’s mission for Christ-centered higher education “requires the essential work around diversity,” whatever the specific admissions process looks like.…

“CCCU strives to support responsive, not reactive, diversity efforts,” Crouso said. …

… [such as] its Commission on Diversity and Inclusion, the Multi-Ethnic Leadership Development Institute, and the CCCU Diversity Conference, held this October at John Brown University. This year’s event will include research and best practices ‘on strategic campus transformation that will meet the needs of all students,’ under the theme “Diversity Still Matters.”

Diversity is important, according to Crouso, because it helps achieve God’s plan for humanity to live in reconciliation with God and each other.

“The continued hope is to resist stereotypical ideas around diverse populations and know that we want the most diversely represented and success-oriented student bodies who seek an education rooted in biblical truth,” she said.…

George Fox University, a private Christian university in Newberg, Oregon, has never considered race in its admissions process. But President Robin Baker said the college has a long-standing commitment to diversity, “which simply will continue.”

“We’re a Christian community. So we argue that we’re trying to reflect the kingdom of God as it is,” Baker said. “Our institutions, when they’re primarily Anglo or white, simply don’t do that.”

Such a vision is largely driven by the vision of the kingdom of God shown in the Book of Revelation,’ Baker said, ‘when the Bible depicts many nations, peoples, and tongues gathered together worshiping God (7:9) ….

“Our diversity argument is an argument that the kingdom of God is indeed diverse and powerful,” he said. “And in order for our students to live in a world that is going to be increasingly non-Western, they need to understand and engage and learn to live in difference.”

In addition to serving and connecting already admitted students, George Fox is working to recruit diverse students and faculty. The college aims to improve its recruitment process by partnering with external organizations and removing unconscious barriers in the application process, said Lindsay Knox, George Fox’s vice president for enrollment and marketing. 1

Diversity Theology

These religious reactions are based in a present-day common theological-based belief that “the gospel” and the Bible itself is for all races. In my book, The Authentic Gospel: Restoring the Original Intent, [HOT] I discuss this prevailing theology and challenge it by the evidence of Scripture. I provide a chapter to capsulate this popular but faulty belief. In that chapter, “The Influence of Evangelical Christian Culture,” I demonstrate how all Judeo-Christian culture is all about “multiethnic” diversity and inclusion. For example, in the March 2021 edition of CT Magazine entitled, “Multiracial Reckoning,” Andy Olsen, Editor wrote this:

Anyone who takes Scripture seriously must also embrace its promise of a coming multiethnic worship community comprising “every nation, tribe, people and language” (Rev. 7:9). In the meanwhile, multiethnic churches will be messy, will often be difficult, and for some today, may even feel impossible. But done right, they offer an environment like none other to model the ways God’s love for his people transcends social status, power structures, and credentials. (p. 7) 2

Popular author, speaker, and adamant advocate for the multi-ethnic gospel is John Piper. He leads the pack to push for the racially-diverse gospel. For example, the following quotes are taken from Piper’s article, “Why Christians Love Diversity”:

How does God’s focus on the diversity of the peoples advance his purpose to be glorified in his creation?

It is an important question to answer for every generation, including our day, when the apparent fears of some white Americans are receiving fresh media attention. Whether the fears are sparked by non-white Muslim refugees, Latino immigrants, or African Americans protesting injustices, what seems to be missing among many Christians, is a solid biblical conviction that ethnic diversity in the church is a beautiful thing, and part of God’s ultimate design for his people …

Perhaps it will be helpful to ponder the reasons why God ordained ethnic diversity and the unified harmony of diverse ethnicities in the family of God. One diverse body. One chosen race. One royal priesthood. One holy nation. One treasured possession. One family. And all of this unity blood-bought. Christ did not die for this in vain.3

Another well-known and respected scholar is John Stott. In the review article, “Our God is a Global God,” Stott is quoted:

“We must be global Christians,” he used to say, “with a global vision, because our God is a global God.” …

Stott recognized an additional benefit that would adorn the truth of the gospel. As the leadership of the global church outside the West was strengthened, resourced, and recognized, then the truly international, multicultural nature of the church itself would be far more visible and more in line with the biblical portrait of the church.4

In my book, I also share direct quotes from major church denominations, mission agencies, and well-known organizations that specifically condemn “racism” and “white supremacy” as their high priority. The problem is, this is not based in reality, but popular conjecture right along with the non-religious world system. There is essentially no difference between that which passes for biblical Christianity and the secular diversity and inclusion worldview.

The Consequences of This War

I close with words from Paul Craig Roberts, a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal:

In the United States the majority of the population remains white despite 58 years of mass immigration of non-whites. Despite remaining a large majority, white Americans are not only being replaced but are being disappeared along with their history.

You no longer see white families in corporate ads. If a family is shown, it is a black man, white woman and mixed race children, or it is an Asian woman, white man and mixed race children. A white family has been given negative meaning as a statement against “diversity.” Diversity has trumped the basis of a nation state, which is a homogeneous population. A diverse, multicultural population is a Tower of Babel, not a nation. Without a common culture, there is not a common interest. Without a common interest, there is no nation, only a geographical boundary. …

Recently, the US Supreme Court ruled that race-based university admissions are impermissible and inconsistent with the 14th Amendment. The ruling is a half century too late. Discrimination against white Americans is now institutionalized. Blacks are a small percentage of the population, but they are over-represented in positions of power. For example, the Secretary of Defense is black. The incoming Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is black. The Superintendent of the US Air Force Academy is black, and all three agree that there are too many white officers in the US military. They have announced an official policy of discriminating against white military personnel by denying whites promotions in military rank. This is a fact, not a “conspiracy theory.” …

White Americans are helpless to stand up for themselves, because half of them–the blue state half–have succumbed to the brainwashing and indoctrination that white people–only white people–are ‘aversive racists’ by birth and skin color, and as such are threats to people of color. This argument justifies restraints on white people, such as second class legal status in order to ameliorate “white privilege.” 5

Perhaps, though, there is a silver lining to this anti-White war. Increasing discrimination against White people will begin to awaken more and more to the reality of what is happening. As they become more aware, they will be searching for answers.

Good news! There are answers and they are based in the Bible, which is their spiritual and racial heritage. And their education can begin with the Covenant Heritage Series of books and the Bible Mastery Boot Camp training course.
