It is divisive, but so is looking at a black person and pre-judging them based on the colour of their skin.
You mean like labeling them as victims that need special treatment and having standards lowered for them because they're black? Is that what you're referring to?
We know both are wrong. One isn't wronger than the other. Christians should be just as worked up when we see racism happening to someone that is not our skin colour. As Christians we should be a voice for justice for all, not just get worked up when now we are experiencing what others have before. It's wrong all around. What is needed now is empathy on both sides. Not just "they have a yucky attitude, so I can have one too". It's hard to turn the other cheek but someone has to be the bigger person. Imagine if CHRISTIANS the world over, of all ethnic backgrounds, led the example together? What would that do to this world?
The post of mine you responded to was in reply to the OP about how CRT "rubs Christians the wrong way". Here's something written by a black person who also sees how divisive it is:
"CRT is not curriculum, but a movement of the radical Left to use false charges of institutional racism to con Americans into thinking our history was, and remains, foundationally racist — a tactic within a strategy to move the country toward the tyrannical, self-serving Left.
It encourages people to despise traditional values that nurture safety, opportunity, and prosperity. By turning our backs on historical truth, we allow leftists to work their destruction into our fabric deep enough to change the color of the thread — from red, white, and blue to dark, shadowy, and dismal. With its underlying assumption that all white people are racists, CRT is itself racist."
