Ath­letes in Action (AIA) Pro­motes Marx­ist “Jus­tice Resources”

Ath­letes in Action (AIA) the sports out­reach arm of Cru (for­mer­ly Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ) has gone beyond sports actions and Chris­t­ian actions and have start­ed pro­mot­ed resources for “jus­tice” actions. In AIA’s “Jus­tice Resources” infor­ma­tion you can find all kinds of woke gems being pro­mot­ed, here are a few that are list­ed:

• Book: The Cross and the Lynch­ing Tree by James Cone – James Cone is a known pro­mot­er of Lib­er­a­tion the­ol­o­gy (a the­ol­o­gy that is based on Crit­i­cal Race The­o­ry) Check out this video from Jon Har­ris on dis­cussing it.
• Book: Woke Church by Eric Mason – While the name of the book is pret­ty self incrim­i­nat­ing Mason also has claimed that “White­ness has caused blind­ness of heart,” as the Ene­mies With­in: The Church film revealed. Mason also preached a ser­mon enti­tled “A Bib­li­cal Case for Repa­ra­tions.” In that ser­mon, he pro­posed that the U.S. Gov­ern­ment pay tuition for all black stu­dents in Amer­i­ca, fund his­tor­i­cal­ly black col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties, and reim­burse all black peo­ple who have paid stu­dent loan debts. More than that, he has also advo­cat­ed for “psy­cho­log­i­cal repa­ra­tions” involv­ing pay­ment for 200 years of coun­sel­ing.
• Book: The Col­or of Com­pro­mise by Jamar Tis­by – Yes, the same Jamar Tis­by who claimed Jesus “entered into our expe­ri­ence so that He could iden­ti­fy with us and express sol­i­dar­i­ty with us.”
• Pod­cast: 1619 – Yes, the pod­cast that gave birth to the dread­ed 1619 Project that teach­es:
  • That Amer­i­ca was found­ed as a slave-ocra­cy
  • The moti­va­tion of the Found­ing Fathers in 1776 was to con­tin­ue slav­ery
  • The enu­mer­at­ed ideals in the dec­la­ra­tion of inde­pen­dence — specif­i­cal­ly that all men are cre­at­ed equal — were false when they were writ­ten
  • Cap­i­tal­ism is a form of slav­ery
  • And teach­es inac­cu­ra­cies like, “Our Dec­la­ra­tion of Inde­pen­dence, signed on July 4, 1776, pro­claims that ‘all men are cre­at­ed equal’ and ‘endowed by their Cre­ator with cer­tain inalien­able rights.’ But the white men who draft­ed those words did not believe them to be true for the hun­dreds of thou­sands of black peo­ple in their midst.” Three of the Five drafters of the Dec­la­ra­tion of Inde­pen­dence — Roger Sher­man, Ben­jamin Franklin, and John Adams — didn’t own slaves and Ben­jamin Franklin became the pres­i­dent of the first abo­li­tion­ist soci­ety and a great many oth­ers of our found­ing fathers opposed slav­ery.

As a per­son who grew up going to AIA bas­ket­ball camps every sum­mer grow­ing up, this news that AIA has sold out to the social jus­tice false gospel is, to say the least, very dis­ap­point­ing.
