It was off the charts. full of liberal buzz words and jargon strung together like they were trying to sound like a parody. But they were serious. Where did we go wrong with these kids?

Society collapses and becomes impossible if truth is not a reality, and is not able to be expressed, and is endlessly variable. There are serious philosophical issues here, and they cannot wish them away. That would be anti-intellectual.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

But....but....I'm not racist."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Columbusing
v.
When a white person claims to have 'discovered' something that already existed. Like Columbus did with the Americas. It usually entails taking credit for something that may be part of someone's culture and might already have been there, such as black fashion, African American slang, or twerking and dreadlocks.
Christopher Columbus is acclaimed for having 'discovered' the new world. Him, an European white guy backed by the Spanish crown just waltzed in and took over the land and the people who had been there for thousands of years with their culture and form of life. Him and his men brought illness and suffering and Christianity to the 'savages'.
A similar trend is seen when white, middle-class people move into neighborhoods that are predominantly non-white and of a lower socio-economic level and hype up the prices, kicking out the inhabitants who've lived there for generations. Gentrification is a form of Columbusing.
Whenever a white dude wear dreads, like most white people who don't know the cultural and religious implications of doing so, they are guilty of Columbusing.
The site also defines Christianity as "the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever ..."

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

The definition indicates that Columbusing just means a white person does something.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
