Jemar Tisby Unleashes Wild Conspiracies About Biden Debate Loss, While Forlorn Kristin Du Mez Looks On

During a late-night episode of the Convocation Unscripted, visibly shellshocked and forlorn hosts Kristin Du Mez, Jemar Tisby, and Robert P. Jones lamented the debate between Trump and Biden and the thrashing that the current President endured at the hand of his challenger.

Tisby, in particular, seemed most affected, insisting that a Trump victory would be “the end of democracy as we know it” because Trump and a GOP administration would ensure that there would never be a fair debate again.

By way of context, Tibsy is the author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism who has an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ woman leading his Christian organization who has praised and platformed a Universalist Anti-Christ pastrix, who suggested that White Republicans support “White Supremacy, Racism, Sexism, Ableism, Homophobia, Islamophobia + Elitism.”

Du Mez is an LGBTQ-affirming Calvin Univerity professor who wishes Christians didn’t take such an immovable and hard line against abortion and has joined rank with apostates and heretics for conferences.

Tisby: Here’s the danger: if Trump wins there will never be a fair debate. And it will go beyond him because he’ll set things up, and his administration will set things up, such that people who do traffic in actual facts and are trying to make actual points based on data, they won’t get there, They won’t get to that platform. Or if they do, they won’t have a chance to win.

And so that’s the danger I think, that people need to see beyond the two hours of debate that we saw this evening. Nothing’s is actually changed in the landscape in terms of our political calculus right? That if Trump wins, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s the end of democracy as we know it.

Which would include not just ‘oh how we vote,’ but even something like debates, which no one even debates, right? Debate is a debate-that’s something, it’s predictable, we can count on, love them or hate it, we know what to expect.

No. Not under a Trump presidency, a GOP administration, not in the foreseeable future if that happens.

Du Mez: So that was more powerful and more coherent than anything I heard in those two hours, right?And then that’s the tragedy here.

Veggie Tales Creator Releases Series Ft. Woke Xtians Complaining About Being Judged

VeggieTales creator and Holy Post podcast host Phil Vischer has gotten beat up on social media over the last few days, and with good reason. The shots have been coming after he criticized a conservative TV network for not featuring LBGTQ characters in films,  compared Christians who oppose legal same-sex marriage to ‘confederate theologians’, and refuses to publicly condemn same-sex marriage, all the while doing so in a smarmy voice that would make even Andy Stanley jealous.

This is on top of knocking creationists as a bunch of dummies, crediting his white privilege for the success of his show, claiming he didn’t know there were such things black Christians until he was an adult, getting upset at Christians for opposing LGBTQ, and most recently coming out as pro-choice.

Now, the Holy Post has released a trailer for a series featuring folks like Lecrae, Kristen Kobes Du Mez, Jemar Tisby, and Russell Moore explaining why they’re still Christians despite being mistreated and ‘unfairly’ criticized for their actions and beliefs by mean and judgy Christians.

They can complain all they want, but each of them holds significantly compromised beliefs on all sorts of matters. For example, Jemar Tisby’s Black Christian Collective organization is run by an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ racist, and Tisby himself platformed and praised an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, queer universalist pastrix who denies the literal second coming of Christ because “the second coming of Christ is you and me.” 

Jesus and John Wayne author Kristin Kobes Du Mez is gay-affirming and has made some statements suggesting she’s pro-choice and thinks abortion should have remained legal, arguing that appointing Supreme Court justices with the intent to overturn Roe V. Wade was a “ruthless display of power” and that she wishes that Christians didn’t take such an immovable unshakable hard line against abortion.

Of course, Vischer would never ask them those questions.

He’d never ask Du Mez “Do you think some of the heat coming your way is because you support same-sex marriage and lamented that overturning Roe will radicalize evangelicals further? Can you see maybe see how some of them might not like that?”

He’d never asked Tisby “Are people justified ragging on you when your organizational head is advising black women not to enter interracial relationships with white people or when she says she’s concerned about the number of black ‘coons’ running for political office because white people are ‘weaponizing’ them?”

If these are the sort of people that Vischer wants us to sympathize with or feel bad for warning against, tugging at the heartstrings for creating lines in the sand, then he’s going to be very, very disappointed.

VP of Jermar Tisby’s Org Slams White Women For Singing at Beyoncé Concert: ‘It’s a Black-centered Space’

Ally Henny is the LGBTQ-affirming, openly pro-choice Vice President of Jemar Tisby’s Black Christian Collective Organization. We’ve written about her in the past after she advised black women not to enter interracial relationships with white people. She said she’s concerned about the number of black ‘coons’ running for political office because white people are ‘weaponizing’ them. 

She also said that white children are racist after observing THIS normal playground behavior, that white people enjoy the viral ‘It’s Corn!’ video because they’re racist, and then accused a nine-year-old girl of engaging in problematic behavior” by wearing a “black hairstyle” and therefore being guilty of being white supremacy and “cultural appropriation.” She’s also claimed that gender normativity is rooted in transphobia.’

In a recent Facebook post, she criticized ‘women of pallor,’ ‘people of whiteness’ ‘palm colored folk’ (Hennyesque slurs for white women) for singing during a Beyoncé song, scolding them for ‘not being able to read a room.’

Because she’s one of the Tisby’s more deranged disciples, Henny notes that because the white women sang during the ‘mute challenge’ portion of the concert, they ‘did the maximum for the most points possible’ by entering into a ‘Black-centered space’ while not being ‘being mindful of how they showed up.’ She also laments that the women’s behavior is a ‘microcosm of how people of whiteness treat Black spaces and culture.’

What is the ‘mute challenge?’ People explains:

The mute challenge occurs during Beyoncé’s performance of “Energy,” particularly when she utters the line, “Look around, everybody on mute.” Like a game of Simon Says, the entire crowd stops what they’re doing and goes silent, with some even “freeze framing” and being completely still….The moment of silence usually lasts about five seconds before the music revs up again and Beyoncé continues with the rest of the song.

And for this, Henny’s disdain for white people shines through and is made manifest:

Jemar Tisby Rides the Segregationist Robin DiAngelo Gravy Train

The recent Scott Adams segregation controversy yielded Adams a large amount of much-deserved vitriol from those who pointed out that the suggestion that white Americans should “get the f*** away” from black Americans is an inexcusably racist statement that reflects an unacceptable ideology that Christians should reject. Adam’s defended himself by claiming that he was a victim of cancel culture, which would be a valid defense if he wasn’t canceled for making a statement that is genuinely racist. 

Adam’s words and the consequent cancellation of his Dilbert comic strip by numerous outlets were widely talked about by the mainstream media, because Adams hails from the conservative end of the political spectrum. A nearly identical statement by leftist race-baiting CRT advocate and author of White Fragility Robin DiAngelo, went relatively unnoticed, as media pundits gave DiAngelo a pass. DiAngelo advocates for black against white racism, while Adams advocates for white against black racism. 

One might question why DiAngelo is allowed to peddle segregation and remain unscathed, while Adams received just condemnation for his statements. The answer lies in the statements of many CRT advocates, such as Jemar Tisby, who believes that black people, or white people like DiAngelo who shill for leftist race baiters, do not have the ability to be racist because they lack power. According to Tisby, a leftist evangelical grifter and liberation theologian riding on the secular racial grievance gravy train of Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, people cannot be racist unless they have power. This is the classic formula for critical race theory: power plus prejudice equals racism. 

Jemar Tisby has benefited greatly by grifting on the popularity of Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi. Tisby founded the Witness: Black Christian Collective, an organization built on the very segregationist premise described by both Scott Adams and Robin DiAngelo; the racist idea that people of certain ethnicities should self-segregate and create spaces for themselves that exclude people of other ethnicities. Essentially, Tisby’s CRT philosophy, expounded upon in his book The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism, is a retread of DiAngelo’s secular White Fragility, baptized in the waters of Christianese. Tisby describes this pursuit on his personal website.

“In 2017, the Reformed African American Network became The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. We acknowledged that, although we had been trying to get a seat at the white evangelical table, there were too many decision-makers and gatekeepers who wanted Black people present but did not care to listen to their perspective. The cost of having a seat at this table was assimilation to the dominant white cultural norms and theologies. We walked away and started to build our own table. 

While this was happening institutionally, it has also been happening for me personally. I am continually learning what it means to lean into my own liberation.”

The only requirement to write for Tisby’s The Witness is black skin. The site claims to be centered around the concerns of Black Christians, but the basis for theology is not rooted in the objective truth of scripture but rather subjective blackness-centered personal experience. With such a vague aim, even a non-Christian could write for the blog, as long as they claim to “center the concerns of Black Christians.”

Jemar Tisby Suggests White Republicans Support “White Supremacy, Racism, Sexism, Ableism, Homophobia, Islamophobia + Elitism”

Jemar Tibsy, the author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism who has an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ woman leading his Christian organization and who has praised and platformed a Universalist Anti-Christ pastrix has retweeted a particularly ugly tweet from activist Tami Sawyer, accusing white Republican voters of all sort of vile invectives.

“I want tomorrow’s punditry to be focused on how 50+1% (or more) of white voters support white supremacy. That’s the headline. Not what Black + Latinx voters did or didn’t do. Let’s discuss the majority’s commitment to racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, Islamophobia + elitism.”

The tweet was ‘liked’ by a couple hundred, most of them having their personal pronouns and trans and queer creds in their bio. Another person who liked the Tweet? Jemar Tisby, suggesting that he’s picking up what she’s putting down and finding himself in lock step with the statement.

Tisby likes to show himself a scholar and reasonable man able to think deeply and fairly about these issues but we know nothing could be further from the truth. When you’re compromised with hate, it never stays bottled up and hidden for long.

Witness BCC VP Says Child with Braids is ‘Culturally Appropriating’ Black Hair Styles+ Evidence of White Supremacy

While Jemar Tisby and his supporters go around complaining and raging that a college he once spoke at repudiated one of his messages for being too progressive and having “divisive racial themes,’ the LGBTQ-affirming, openly pro-choice Vice President of his Black Christian Collective Organization is out slinging racial accusations again, this time accusing a nine-year old girl of engaging in
problematic behavior” by wearing a “black hairstyle” and therefore being guilty of being white supremacy and “cultural appropriation.”

For context, this is the same woman who advised black women not to enter into interracial relationships with white people, then she said that she’s concerned about the number of black ‘coons’ running for political office, because white people are ‘weaponizing’ them. She also said that white children are racist after observing THIS normal playground behavior and that white people enjoy the viral ‘It’s Corn!’ video because they’re racist.

She explains:

Okay, so this comment irks my soul so I’m going to talk about it. So the commenter is right. I don’t own the hairstyle. However, it is a problem whenever people from the culturally dominant group (white people) do things that racially marginalized people don’t get to do.

When black people wear their hair in a style similar to what that child was wearing in that video, not even in fashion colors, but in natural hair colors, we’re told that we violate dress codes, that we are unprofessional. We are essentially not allowed to wear a hairstyle that we invented as a people.

The child’s age doesn’t make a lick of difference. In fact, white supremacy is being solidified for this child at the tender age of nine. This child is learning at the tender age of nine that it’s okay to appropriate people’s culture because you really want to.

This is where white entitlement begins; when white adults teach white children that black people’s boundaries don’t matter.

Beth Moore Joining Jemar Tisby For Conference about ‘Racism in the WHITE Church’

CRT advocate Jemar Tisby is joining forces with Beth Moore and Beth Allison Barr for a conference at George W. Truett Theological Seminary on February 16-18, where they will speak on how to ‘confront racism in the white church’ and ‘seek God’s justice.’ Other speakers will include Vann Newkirk, II, the Senior Editor of The Atlantic, and Mia Moody-Ramirez, Department Chair & Professor of Journalism, Public Relations, and New Media, Baylor University. 

Sadly, there is no possible world in which this conference will illuminate a single soul or do anything other than chum the waters of racial intolerance by throwing a few fish heads to the progressive faithful.

To recap two of the keynote speakers and their troubling history on race and commitment to justice:

Jemar Tisby

Jemar Tisby Hired by Ibram X. Kendi to be His New ‘Assistant Director of Narrative and Advocacy’
Jemar Tisby Asserts Orgy-Loving, Jesus-Denying, Serial-Adulturer is a ‘Very Strong Christian’
Jemar Tisby’s VP says that Black Women Should Not Date or Marry White Men
Jemar Tisby’s Black Christian Collective Promotes Pro-Choice Ally Henny to Vice-President

Beth Moore:

Beth Moore Says all the Southern Baptists who were ‘Sexist’ Towards her Were Also Racist
Beth Moore Claims ‘White Supremacy’ is Running Rampant in ‘Much of the Church’
Beth Moore Scolds 6 SBC Seminary Presidents for Signing Anti-CRT Statement
Beth Moore Claims the SBC is Racist and Doesn’t Want Black People in ‘Powerful Positions’

The event is sponsored by a few progressive organizations, such as The Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing, but one name we hadn’t heard before is Mia Moody-Ramirez. She’s a Black Lives Matter-loving, personal-pronoun packing she/her whose pro-choice beliefs and support for abortion is a clear sign that she doesn’t care about justice at all.

Stir this up with Jemar Tisby’s own tolerance for baby murder and Beth Moore making her best Kyle J. Howard impression and you have a hot cauldron of inanity and irrelevance where anyone who cares about racism in the church should not imbibe, lest they find themselves theologically roofied by these troublers of the brethren.

Witness BCC VP Says White Children are RACIST after Observing THIS Normal Playground Behavior

While Jemar Tisby and his supporters go around complaining and raging that a college that he once spoke at repudiated one of his messages for being too progressive and having “divisive racial themes,’ the LGBTQ-affirming, openly pro-choice Vice President of his Black Christian Collective Organization is out slinging racial accusations faster than Kyle J Howard can Say ‘Twaumatize.’

For context, this is the same woman who advised black women not to enter into interracial relationships with white people, then she said that she’s concerned about the number of black ‘coons’ running for political office, because white people are ‘weaponizing’ them. Now, she’s getting more an more extreme, sharing:

So two years ago, my family moved from Missouri to the south side of Chicago in order to get away from racist white people. So we went from predominantly white context to all black everything. Like I rarely interact with white people like at all. So whenever I’m around white people now, I see racism much more acutely than I did back in the day.

I was at an activity with one of my kids today and I was able to observe just how much white kids are socialized into white supremacy.

So in two separate instances, I watched white kids treat black kids like they were invisible. In the first incident a white kid literally crawled all over this black kid trying to see what he was doing on a mobile device, no respect for his bodily autonomy at all whatsoever.

The second incident, I watched two little white girls treat a little black girl like she didn’t exist. They would look at one another, they were talking, they would look at one another. She would say something they would glance and then they would look back at one another and just keep talking. It was really hard to watch. And I know that somebody’s gonna hop in the comments and say, ‘well, kids will be kids, this is how kids’ This ain’t it. In both instances, it was clear that these white kids did not see these black kids as full human beings and worthy of dignity and respect.

Jemar Tisby Asserts Orgy-Loving, Jesus-Denying, Serial-Adulturer is a ‘Very Strong Christian’

Appearing on the June 1, 2022 episode of the ChurchLeader Podcast with Ed Stetzer, Jemar Tibsy, who has an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ woman leading his Christian organization, explains that someone can be a”very strong Christian” despite being a sexual pervert, serial adulterer and one denies the virgin birth of Jesus.

Stetzer: Are you saying then you share a lot of the same theological beliefs you had before? Am I misstating this? However, it’s been pushed out, and now you’re understanding more deeply the black theological tradition, and maybe some of the fact that that may embrace some of those issues differently? I’m trying to help myself understand what’s your answer.

Yeah. So think about it this way. A lot of times in predominantly white Christian settings, the starting point for theology, for sermons, for teaching is the resurrection. And that makes sense. The starting point is a lot of times Paul’s epistles, right? In the very sort of logical, propositional way, Paul explains his theology.

Understandable, it’s all Bible. You know, we learned from it all. In the black church tradition, oftentimes the starting point is the Exodus, the literal liberation of enslaved people. Oftentimes the starting point is the Old Testament and the prophets who speak against injustice, who call out the powers that be for mistreating and abusing their power.

Right. So it’s, it’s all the same Bible, it’s all the same faith, but because of our lived experiences and locations, we have sort of really foundational pillars that really shape our public engagement with justice issues.

So I’m trying to be in the line of a Martin Luther King Jr, of a Fannie Lou Hamer of a Medgar Evers, all very strong Christians who saw integrally the connection between Jesus and justice.

What I have faced in predominantly white settings is a highly individualistic understanding of the world, and particularly racism that doesn’t really give due attention, in my view, to the issues of policies and systems and power when it comes to racism.

Very strong Christian?

Martin Luther King Jr. was an absolute scumbag by any discernable standard. He was a womanizer who routinely cheated on his wife. He participated in orgies, treated women like sex objects, and alleged;y laughed while a woman was raped in the same room as him.

If that wasn’t bad enough, King was a heretic. He denied the Virgin Birth, denied Scriptural inerrancy, had very troublesome views of the atonement and was by all accounts a theological liberal. For example, here’s a paper from King denying the Virgin Birth and calling the resurrection “historically and philosophically untenable.” From start to finish, King denied the fundamentals of Christianity, practicing a liberation and social-gospel theology.

Yet Tisby dscribes him as a “very strong Christian.”

It’s almost enough to make you think he doesn’t even know what it means to be one.

Jemar Tisby’s VP says that Black Women Should Not Date or Marry White Men

While Jemar Tisby and his supporters go around complaining and raging that a college that he once spoke at repudiated one of his messages for being too progressive and having “divisive racial themes,’ the LGBTQ-affirming, openly pro-choice Vice president of his Black Christian Collective Organization is out there explaining that she would advise black people, especially black women, not to enter into interracial relationships with white people.

Speaking as a guest on the April 13 episode of the Bad Seminarians podcast, Ally Henny, who helps run Tisby’s Witness BBC and whom he knows full well has trash views on abortion and same-sex acceptance, told guests that there are too many risks and downsides for a black woman to enter into relationship and then marry and date a white man, and that they just shouldn’t do it.

Host: “What advice would you give to a person entering into an interracial relationship? A white person, actually. And then on the other side of that, on flip side, what advice would you give to a black person entering into an interracial relationship?

So the black aspect of it, particularly for black women: don’t do it. DON’T.

And I feel like that answer needs some explanation, perhaps did some disclaimers or caveats or something like that, but my knee-jerk reaction is: DON’T DO IT

She says this is true for those who enter into a relationship for the purpose of being in an interracial relationship, because “you can create the scenario for yourself where you start fetishizing people based on how they look. And not just on how they look, but on perceived benefits, just whatever perceptions that come with being in an interracial marriage or relationship.” She also cautions black women from using dating apps where they may match up with white men, because there’s no way of knowing if they’ve ever espoused racist beliefs.

What ‘racism’ is undefined of course. For many in this crowd, wanting to limit immigration or voting for Trump, or being pro-second amendment, listening to Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, or even just being a member of the Republican Party is proof of one’s racism.

But I get that, you know, a lot of folks like to use dating apps and you know, maybe just out of ‘I liked this thing on their profile’, or ‘hey, you know, they are kind of cute’, or whatever your decision-making process is... (but) if you are making the decision purely on this person and their race and not on other things, you’re gonna end up in a position where you are going to be hurt or disappointed, or both because of weird expectations, or whatever.

The other aspect of the DON’T’ is it comes with the caution. And I think that this is particularly true for black women in relationships. The ‘DON’T’ is caution because of safety. You just simply do not know where these people are from, you don’t know where they’re coming from. And so if you’re going to enter into that, you got to ask the questions.

You got to ask the hard questions. You got to ask the ‘have you ever used the N-word’ question? ‘Have you ever used the N-word publicly on an app on a website? What are your affiliations? Who do you know? What type of spaces are you in?’

And honestly, like in this world that we’re in, you can Google people and you can dig around and you can’t find everything out. And so there’s just an aspect for me that I say, like, DON’T DO IT. There is again, to the point of fetishes, there are white men out there that have fetishes that regard black women. And so I mean, if you’re into that, then you know, I’m not gonna knock it like if you’re cool with that, but you could just find yourself in a really difficult space with that.”

Henny says that oftentimes, even if the white man is not a racist, his family might be.

I know a lot of people, black women in particular, who have ended up in situations with their in-laws that have been very damaging, and that have been very traumatizing. People who have married into literal racist families. And that’s the thing and then you talk about like you if you’re going to have kids or something like that, and you’ve got, you know, Memaw over here who’s racist, and you’re going to bring your biracial kids, your black biracial kids around the grandparents who are racist?

And you see this type of thing on the internet all the time, where it’s like, ‘his man was racist, and then he has a biracial granddaughter now or his kid adopted a black kid, and now he’s not racist anymore.’

No, he just likes that black kid.

Maybe it did change his heart. You know, I believe in God. And I believe that God can change people’s hearts or whatever. But I’m just always looking at that situation, Like, why would you put yourself in that situation? Don’t put yourself in that situation to be with somebody unless that person is going to disavow their family…

(More than likely) You’re going to find yourself in situations where you’re coddling racism, where you’re coddling racists, where you’re having to deal with that and it just in the long run ends up being damaging and ends up being frustrating.
