He is engaged in a runoff election against Republican Herschel Walker to retain the Senate seat. The election is scheduled for December 6.<\/p>\n<p>Warnock, as the head of Ebenezer Baptist Church, had close ties to the PNBC and served as the chairman of the convention\u2019s Social Justice Commission as recently as 2018.\u00a0Later that year, he <a href=\"https:\/\/religionnews.com\/2021\/08\/05\/warnock-progressive-national-baptists-focus-on-voting-rights-during-annual-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delivered<\/a> the keynote address to PNBC\u2019s annual meeting.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the PNBC passed a \u201cResolution in Support of Critical Race Theory.\u201d The resolution states that CRT is \u201ctaught primarily at Law Schools\u201d and is not taught at all in any elementary or high schools in the U.S. Warnock\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/religionnews.com\/2021\/08\/05\/warnock-progressive-national-baptists-focus-on-voting-rights-during-annual-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delivered<\/a> the keynote address to PNBC\u2019s annual meeting the year the resolution was adopted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCRT is not a racist theory,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnbc.org\/assets\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pnbc-resolutions-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resolution<\/a> states. \u201cRather, it asserts that a true understanding of the history and evolution of this country cannot be fully grasped without giving thoughtful consideration to the way in which sustained, systemic, institutional racism has been at work in every aspect of American life since before the nation was even formed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resolution also suggests that the year 1619, when the first slave ship arrived on the shores of what would become the United States, is as equally defining date in U.S. history as 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed, and 1787, when the U.S. Constitution was written.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPNBC goes on record acknowledging, consistent with the core principle of CRT, that racism is not the behavior of a single white person. Racism is the use of political power and social conformity by one group that creates systems that have historically afforded white people an unfair advantage,\u201d the resolution states. \u201cThe problem for CRT is not individual white people, but the presumptions of white supremacy and the inherited benefits of white privilege that have been at work in this country for more than four hundred years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Warnock <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/senate-democrats-show-their-support-for-critical-race-theory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted<\/a> against an amendment that would restrict federal funding from being used \u201cto promote critical race theory or compel teachers or students to affirm critical race theory in prekindergarten programs, elementary schools, and secondary schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In part, Warnock\u2019s 2021 keynote address to PNBC focused on election laws in Georgia and what he claimed was voter suppression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t check what they\u2019re doing in Georgia, they\u2019ll be able to nullify the votes and the voices of the people after they have already been cast,\u201d Warnock <a href=\"https:\/\/religionnews.com\/2021\/08\/05\/warnock-progressive-national-baptists-focus-on-voting-rights-during-annual-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the delta variant of Jim Crow voting laws. The only inoculation is federal legislation and the only way that happens is for God\u2019s people to stand up. So thank you, Progressive, for standing up. Thank you for bearing witness to God\u2019s love and God\u2019s justice in the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
