Johnson posted a video of Anyabwile at an evangelical conference in 2010 preaching a message called, “Fine-Sounding Arguments: How Wrongly ‘Engaging the Culture’ Adjusts the Gospel.” Along with the video came Johnson’s caption: “Before he became an agitator for the radical left wing #BlackLivesMatter movement, Thabiti Anyabwile was arguing for a more biblical, gospel-centered approach.”26 As Anyabwile pointed out in his blog post, Johnson’s implication was that speaking about racial justice somehow indicated a drift away from the “true” gospel.
