At a Glance

Like many critical theories, Marxism sees the world as defined by a struggle between oppressors and victims. In Marxism’s case, it is the struggle between the rich and the poor. While that isn’t necessarily bad, Marxism misses the point and blames capitalism for the world’s struggles instead of pointing to the true solution—God. Today, we react to the documentary “Uncle Tom II” and discuss how Marxism is infiltrating black communities and steering people away from God.

And it's tragic when people believe these lies and spread these lies. But our fight isn't ultimately against them at all. In fact, we're called to love these people.

Uncle Tom II

Uncle Tom II is an odyssey depicting the gradual demoralization of America through Marxist infiltration of its institutions. The film explores how this deceptive ideology has torn apart the fabric of society while using black America as its number one tool for its destruction. From Executive Producer Larry Elder and Director Justin Malone, comes the continuation of their highly acclaimed film, Uncle Tom (2020). Uncle Tom II will take the audience deeper into black America’s often eradicated history of honorable men, entrepreneurship, prosperity, faith, and patriotism, to its current perceived state of anger, discontent and victimhood. Uncle Tom II unveils the Marxist strategy of creating false racial tension between Americans, with its ultimate goal of obtaining power, destroying capitalism and replacing God with government.
Quotes

“This was part of a deceptive plan by the Marxists, to do this in order to foment the kind of oppression that would allow their strategies to somehow take root.” John (17:58)

We disagree vehemently with these kinds of ideas, but ultimately, they are people being used by Satan.”  John (19:04)

“And it’s tragic when people believe these lies and spread these lies. But our fight isn’t ultimately against them at all. In fact, we’re called to love these people.” Scott (21:43)

“So where do you derive meaning and purpose in a Marxist worldview? A lot of it comes through materialistic ends. In a biblical worldview, it’s being a follower of God. And you see that in the Church throughout history. Would you rather have a lot of money or a strong family? Would you rather have freedom or perfect equity in black America? In the Jim Crow days, that was an extremely evil time, systemically evil time. And yet you saw these thriving families, where babies were actually born into the world. In black America today, 50% of babies are aborted before they even make it here.” Luke (34:09)

“As we’ve always known, this idea of whether it be empires, they first implode from within before they are defeated from the outside. So this idea that America needed to be conquered from within through the education system, through the breakdown of the family, through fomenting division, all of this weakens the infrastructure of the country and ultimately, its economic ability to defend itself. And we are seeing the effects of that today, no doubt.” John (43:10)

“I think the first thing we do is step back and pray. And we realize that it’s only by the grace of God, that that we are here at all. And it’s only by the grace of God that this kind of thinking can be thwarted.” John (45:27)

“We should have that same passion to see—not lies that are destructive—but biblical truth sewn into the culture, for the good of our neighbors and for the blessing of our nations. So we should have that same kind of zeal, strategic mindset, and commitment to working the long game, and focusing on these key institutions of family and of education.” Scott (1:05:00)
