For instance, Critical Race Theory rejects the biblical concept of impartiality by labeling colorblindness as racist. Naturally, that encourages partiality or racism against white people.\u201d\u201cCritical Race Theory also rejects the gospel\u2019s proclamation that all people fall short of the glory of God. Instead, they believe white people are uniquely evil and non-white people are uniquely innocent,\u201d he added.Former Secretary of State and current Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice also dismantled the ideology in a recent interview with ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View.\u201d\u201cOne of the worries that I have about the way that we\u2019re talking about race is that it either seems so big that somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s very productive,\u201d Rice said. \u201cOr black people have to feel disempowered by race. I would like black kids to be completely empowered, to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that, I don\u2019t have to make white kids feel bad for being white. So somehow, this is a conversation that has gone in the wrong direction.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
