If the Liberty University logo wasn’t everywhere, I would never believe such a thing as this video exists. What is there to say? Popular culture, which is totally reinforced by academia from kindergarten upwards, will inevitably win over young minds. And with no strong adults to fight its assault, the kids don’t stand a chance.

It makes me wonder about the state of Bob Jones University. When Jones gave in to the squealing over the ban on interracial dating, I was aghast that there could be not one, not ONE academic institution to which parents could send their children with the knowledge that miscegenation would not be promoted or given a blessing. I wrote to Jones at the time, identifying myself as a black, encouraging him not to give in. But, of course, the administration did give in.

The poison of PC wins on every score. White adults soon become too afraid even to criticize the low-grade garbage called rap and hip hop, even though there have been movements among blacks themselves to eliminate this detritus. Of course, the apologists for this Liberty University video will probably brag that there are no dirty lyrics referring to such things as “hos,” but it’s the very genre itself that lowers cultural standards. It’s a genre that was born in filth. Shouldn’t this kind of college be in the business of elevating the spirit, instead of simply acting as a copycat of society’s worst features?

Woe to the black kid who thought that she would find respite in a Christian setting from this cacophony that she’s been exposed to throughout her teens. And, then again, might this promotional piece act as encouragement to those black males who dream of hooking up with a Blondie?

This “music” is a throbbing, animalistic evocation of copulation.

I agree.

Pharmacy school exposes students to a few traditional Latin expressions, terminology derived from a dead language, so as to represent an unchanging meaningfulness. It’s the same Latin physicians learn in medical school to codify the understanding between writer and interpreter of a prescription.

In pharmacy school, though a dying art, we also learn compounding to specifications, in making powders, suppositories, pessaries, filling capsules, and mixing liquids, ointments and creams. Using elements of the mysterious apothecary system, the lingo of old-fashioned medicine, docs wrote out how to make a prescription that included several ingredients.

Along with the other requirements noted in the fine Spencerian hand, an abbreviation identified a hand-compounded prescription using a fancy gussied up italicized ‘M’ and ‘F’ to denote weights or volumes of ingredients to be measured out and mixed. It was our expertise to interpret what was desired and how to mix it, which ingredients to grind together or mix first, and whether to incorporate a diluent within a mortar and pestle, use a spatula on the glass block slab, a spot of glycerin, listen for the sound of the ‘snick’ as we triturated the paste into the petrolatum base. The ‘F’ meant fiat or ‘let it be made’ to That ‘M’ was the Latin abbreviation for the word misce referring to ‘mix’, the basis for the derogatory term ‘miscegenation’.

Use of the term ‘mixing’ when referring to people dehumanizes them much the same way as suggest my sons should be carefully plucked out and segregated from others much as in Father Mendel’s research to separate wrinkled peas from smooth peas. The insult is no less offensive if anyone from one heritage uses it to describe others.

Miscegenation means the mixing (misce) of races (genus). I agree it’s a cold term that suggests genetic engineering.

Elizabeth Wright writes:

Use the much disliked term “miscegenation,” and stand back and get ready to hear expressions of concern about offspring (smooth peas or wrinkled peas).  Although government should not treat its citizens differently according to ethnicity, etc., individuals still retain the right to make choices, not only when it comes to choosing to mate with members of their own group, but in passing on such preferences to their children. In a free society, there should be institutions and organizations where such a choice can be openly exercised. Exercised, without apology or pretense.

Of course, I suspect that as this multicultural circus moves along, ultimately there will be laws to force interracial marriage, especially on whites.  After all, “diversity is strength.”  Such places as Liberty University will, no doubt, be in the forefront of helping the cause.

The basic problem with American Protestantism is that with the exception of the Southern Baptists and a few of the smaller denominations, the upper leadership of the mainline Protestant denominations began rejecting the faith more than a hundred years ago. This resulted in the “fundamentalist” movement as an effort to hold on to the truth of Christianity, but it also meant that theologically conservative Protestantism began abandoning the historic denominations, seeing them as hopelessly corrupt and worldly. Most of the largest and most energetic Protestant churches are now non-denominational, either literally or else in the sense that they do not advertise their denominational affiliation.

The result is that Protestantism has mostly cut itself off from the ways of their ancestors and the wisdom of the ages, the liberals by outright repudiation of Christianity and the evangelicals by repudiation of their denominational heritage.

This leaves evangelicals at the mercy of the latest fads, both theological and sociological. Having no tradition except the slogans of Protestantism (e.g., “We have no creed but Jesus”), evangelicalism is constantly looking for the Next Big Thing. And since liberalism has recently consolidated its hold on American society as a whole, it makes sense that evangelicalism is opening its doors to liberalism and all that goes with it, including acceptance of a degenerate popular culture.

There are Protestant churches that are faithful to their heritage, and although they are few and far between, I think that they will have an increasing influence among serious Protestants, that is, those looking for a substantial faith that actually teaches what Jesus and the Apostles taught.
