Welcome to the Eric Mataxus Show with your host Eric Mataxus.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our two of the Eric Mataxus show.

If you listen to our one first, I would say you did a good thing.

If you're listening to this hour first, hey, shame on you. One comes before two. What are you thinking?

I'm going to talk to John's Mirac, but if that's not crazy enough, I'm going to talk right now to Kevin McCullough. Many of us know him as votes, Sadamas.

Hey, votes, Sadamas. Can you tell us? Albin and I were talking. We're launching a campaign for this month for Christian solidarity international.

People always say, what can I do? What can I do? Well, one thing you can do is give something to tremendous causes.

Christian solidarity international. They're involved in so many things. What is your relationship with them? How do you know?

Let me tie together what we were discussing the last hour and with what we're going to discuss here.

Because when the discussion about critical race theory comes up and it's coming up everywhere, it's in your school district, it's in your church, it's in your community, it may be in your home, you're having family members argue about this, you have parents arguing with kids, everyone is discussing this right now.

One of the things I love to do, Eric, is to wink at them back and say, really, what have you done to bring about social justice?

And I'll just let some time pass and little pregnant pause just kind of sit there because it's funny for most of these suburban white women that are really the ones that are pushing CRT harder than anybody else in the country.

They just, there's like this gobsmacked look that comes over their face and they don't know what to say and they're like, well, what am I supposed to do? They think that by arguing about, you know, whether or not they come from racist white people that they're doing something to actually help people of color as they would like to call it today.

So I colored people so I didn't say that people of color color people suddenly is a bad thing, even though it's the National Association for the advancement of colored people now we're supposed to say people love color.

But I love to ask them that question and watch their brain kind of explode momentarily and not have anything to say back and then I say, so you think that I'm fairly conservative and you probably think I'm pretty narrow minded and in my view of the race issue.

And I'm probably disagree with you on a bunch of it. But what if what if I could show you something that we do and my listeners do that I'm confident you could do that would make a difference and I get to tell them about the slave liberation project in Sudan.

And actually literally turn these these hate oriented arguments into an opportunity to not only radically change their mind but show them something that's being done. And we've talked about it on your show before Eric, but here in the summertime it is not any less important to remember that after the Sudanese civil war came to an end there were hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese Christian women and children that had been taken into slavery.

And being held captive in northern Sudan and when the when the world powers that helped you govern the end of the Sudanese civil war decided to split it into two countries.

They didn't do anything to address the plight of the slaves.

And think about that. Think about what you just said I want my audience to think how astonishing there was a gruesome civil war in the Sudan.

When the powers that be were able to end it they said, Oh, as part of the deal, we're not going to do anything about the slaves ladies and gentlemen slaves in 2021 slaves.
