CBS Evening News rounded out their broadcast Wednesday by highlighting a ultra-leftist Unitarian Universalist church’s efforts to weed out racism. “We end tonight with a new treatment for a disease that has afflicted this country since its birth,” touted CBS Anchor Scott Pelley, “John Blackstone now on curing racism. One step at a time.” That’s right, a racism twelve-step program that’s seriously called “Racists Anonymous.”
The two minute, 38 seconds long report started with testimonials from some of the participants, “I'm Morgan and I'm a racist… I'm Bonnie, and I'm a racist… I'm Darryl, and I'm a racist.” “Participants in the multiracial group try to become more aware of their own biases,” John Blackstone went on to explain (something the media should probably do).
“Pastor Ron Buford started the weekly meetings last November at his congregational church in Sunnyvale, California, after watching town after town get eaten up by hate and violence so often borne out of prejudice,” reported Blackstone as he showed a series of images of violent anti-police protests and riots.
“Black lives matter has made wonderful impact in so many ways, but this is a different approach,” Buford told Blackstone, “That's right. Instead of talking about other people's racism, to say, it's me.”
The “racist” known as Morgan explained to Blackwell that he didn’t know he was a racist until he started attending the meetings, “I hadn't considered myself a racist coming here, but once we got into these discussions, it started me thinking, maybe there is a little bit of racism in everybody. And that I was one of them.”
Ironically, the Unitarian Universalist Church is an active participant in the radical divestment from Israel movement popular on liberal college campuses. The divestment from Israel movement has long been associated with an anti-Semitic sentiment which sides with Palestinian terrorists. The organization’s own divestment resolution states:
Israel’s nearly half-century-old military and governance systems for maintaining its occupation dominate all aspects of Palestinians’ daily lives, leaving them powerless, as a people without a country, without the rule of law, and without rights, including the most fundamental human and legal rights.
