(cont'd from yesterday's post)
In addition to his convictions and values, Ryan has a strong sense of who he is.
"I’m half white and half black. My melanin doesn’t change my worth or my propensity to sin. Yet we live in a culture where we are told that our skin color confers upon us a status that is fixed, assigned by an elite class of humans . . who want us to see everything through the broken lens of “race”—a human construct that has only served to dehumanize us throughout history. As a person with brown skin, I reject my assigned “status” . . ."
He refuses the labels of "oppressed" and "oppressor" used by Critical Race Theory. He refuses the binary identity of guilt or privilege used by CRT: "I wholeheartedly disagree with it because of its dependence on deception and division."
As a Christian, Ryan knows that the sin of racism denies the value and dignity inherent in every human being of every race. We were created in the image of God.
