Jemar Tisby and Critical Race Theory

I felt it necessary to do a thoughtful and respectful video response to a few questionable beliefs that my brother in the Lord, Jemar Tisby, a prominent Evangelical voice for racial reconciliation, holds regarding racism, equality, and justice.

I start by pointing out that I appreciate Tisby’s passion to see God’s church unite under the banner of reconciliation. Some points presented in his book, How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice, were insightful and beneficial to me personally. In the book, Tisby talks about the need for more AWARENESS, improvement in our RELATIONSHIPS, and an undying COMMITMENT to “dismantle racist structures, laws, and policies” if we hope to bring forth significant change and end racism.

Yet, as I dug further into Tisby’s writings and listened to his teachings online, I came across four red flags you should be made aware of regarding Tisby’s work on advancing racial justice
