During the third week of April 2021, I learned that Dr. William Amarquaye (Nii Amaa on FB) was publicizing on FB that I was behind an anonymous website designed to fight against Critical Race Theory so that he could use that as an opportunity to slander me. I had once considered William a friend. He even occasionally visited my church and our men’s study. That all changed when a mutual friend (deacon) left our church (Sep. 2018) after violating his vows and refusing to reconcile with the families of our church under the direction of the officers. For a reason unknown to anyone in our church, William pegged me as the bad guy behind the whole thing. At first, he wasn’t upset with me upon hearing that our friend left. Apparently though, some things were told to him - possibly by our friend - that changed his mind. Not once did he ever reach out to me or the officers of the church to hear the other side. He just ran with it and that was the end of our friendship.
When I learned that Dr. Amarquaye was bad-mouthing me on FB, my immediate response was to let it go. But then I got to thinking…his antics parallel much of what goes on in discussions about racism, critical race theory, social justice, and the like. There is a conspiratorial mindset behind much of the anti-racist rhetoric in the church. Many people simply do not care to hear all the facts. They do not care to hear the other side of the story. The worst is assumed, and then they act accordingly, slandering people’s names in the process. And it is not just cops and politicians who are their target - pastors, teachers, professors, authors, “white evangelicals”, “blacks” who don’t think like they do, dead Reformed men - nobody is off limits to their speculations and slander.
After seeing this go on for the last 10 years, especially with the rise of “Black Lives Matter,” I have had enough. Seeing what Dr. Amarquaye said about me caused me to pull the trigger on something that I've been wanting to do for awhile.
I have created this blog (https://racehustlers.substack.com) and FB group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/racehustlers) to document the infiltration of race hustlers into the Christian community, and to promote material (podcasts, videos, articles, sermons) that addresses them. Some of this will be original material. Some of it will be material from others that I believe will be beneficial to you.
There are many Christians who recognize the foolishness of race hustlers, but have been intimidated to "stay in their lane" or to keep quiet altogether, for fear of being labeled a "racist" or a "coon." Perhaps that is the reason for anonymous websites. But i have never been afraid of the race bullies. I'll never forget when someone on a Christian hiphop forum accused me of being a "racist" for pointing out the logical fallacies in "white privilege theory." Others joined in and made every attempt to paint me as a “racist.” But i never caved in.
This is the game they play. And i refuse to play it.
I hope to not only provide a lot of material against this type of stuff, but grow a large community of like-minded believers to encourage each other in this fight. You are not alone. The race hustlers have a strong and large army…mainstream media, pastors, professors, government schools, big tech…you name it. But with Christ, we are the majority. Peace.
