Critical Race Theory

[BoyNextDoor]

All those people that are afraid of CRT do not know what it is. They can't even articulate what they are afraid of.

 

[MartinHeidegger]

Pretty much. Just like the goofballs who fret over teaching Marxism in the classroom. These folks have probably never stepped into a university seminar; it's not what they think it is.

Critical race theory:

Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic movement of civil rights scholars and activists in the United States who seek to critically examine the law as it intersects with issues of race and to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice.[1] Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism.[2][3]

Critical race theory originated in the mid-1970s in the writings of several American legal scholars, including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.[1] It emerged as a movement by the 1980s, reworking theories of critical legal studies (CLS) with more focus on race.[4] Both critical race theory and critical legal studies are rooted in critical theory, which argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors.[5]

Critical race theory is loosely unified by two common themes: first, that white supremacy, with its societal or structural racism, exists and maintains power through the law;[6] and second, that transforming the relationship between law and racial power, and also achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination more broadly, is possible.[7]

Critics of critical race theory argue that it relies on social constructionism, elevates storytelling over evidence and reason, rejects the concepts of truth and merit, and opposes liberalism.[8][9][10]

They don't like that it frames America in a bad light...you should have pride in America.....and say that it's the best country in the world.

They also don't like a large portion of the country and want to secede....

But....MURRICA!!

CRT isn't difficult to understand.

Having said that, it's waaaaaayy beyond the comprehension of Deplorables because they are so threatened and stupid.

Critical race theory:

It is very illiberal....that's why liberty loving folks aren't very fond of that authoritarian racist bullshit.

They don't like that it frames America in a total fantasy light that only exists in the minds of the lunatic left.

FYP

There is nothing racist about anti-racism, and CRT has no particular authoritarian implications. I hope you would not be so ridiculous as to classify, say, affirmative action as "authoritarian."

 

[CornusKousa]

There is nothing racist about anti-racism,

Until it starts discriminating against people based on their 'race' as a way to achieve some sort of social equity or 'social justice'.

You know like Democrats and 'progressive' leftist support.......then it's racist.

and CRT has no particular authoritarian implications.

That must explain the lefts desire to push it at the federal level.

Without the authoritarianism CT goes nowhere, everyone just points at the Civil Rights act and tells ya'll to pound sand as the laugh at you.

You don't get your "social justice" and racial equity without the government putting a gun to white peoples head.

Racist, authoritarians.

I hope you would not be so ridiculous as to classify, say, affirmative action as "authoritarian."

How is it anything but? A handful of control freaks in DC are pushing their racist bullshit on 330 million folks at the end of a gun.

There goes BoBo again.

Poor little BoBo is scared of the big bad Critical Race Theory.

Awwwww

and the very select few that have more than one lightbulb in the head socket to understand it, much like the head Morlocks that psychically control the lesser intelligent masses, hate it because they realize it deconstructs their privilege and threatens the structures that benefit them before and over everyone else.

When everyone gets it, their legacy bullshit is gone and so are all the cushions they automatically enjoy. Especially for their future children. Can't have that happen!

Marxism like fascism is a skidmark on humanity. We've accepted that fascism is garbage. Accept that Marxism is an equally awful idea and move on.

It's not just that. They also don't really care what it really is. They just care about a way to scare gullible white people, and CRT is the flavor of the month in that regard.

No, that wouldn't be racist either. Affirmative action or whatever is not racist.

Well, it's not an equally awful idea. I'll admit it has had equally awful consequences, but that's a different question. The moral premises of Marxism are at any rate more defensible.

Yes, that is definitive racism.

Yes it is.

Just because it's racism YOU LIKE, doesn't make it not racist.

Welcome back my friends to the rant that never ends....

Ah, yet another day of BoBo Wargook lecturin' us on how "White People Are Teh REAL victims here"™.

Another day of the racist old white guy slinging racial slurs because he's too chicken shit to just own up to his own self loathing and hatred of whitey.

And herein lies the problem. The myth of white privilege has been addressed, and in a period of less than a year, a half century of progress has been overturned. It will never be enough, so stop trying. Do you think reparations will settle the score. 1000% no. There is no white privilege. Stop lying to black people. Nobody gives a shit about the color of your skin. If you espouse a culture of violence, you will properly be discriminated against. Discrimination is not bad. We all do it. And stereotypes don't arise in a vacuum. If it looks like a duck, and acts like a duck, it's a duck. Stop looking back. It's stupid. We progress by looking forward. Now blacks WANT segregation. How fucked up is that?

 

[CornusKousa]

Now blacks WANT segregation. How fucked up is that?

And we should let the (D)'s GIVE IT TO THEM AGAIN.

I do not understand either sides need to save the other side from their choices/ideas??

Why not just let them do it??

The RW really needs to secure it's own shit and just give the (D)eez the finger.

If that were true, the "WHITE ONLY" signs would have gone back up all over the South.

The RW does not appear to have, any more, any agenda other than giving D's the finger. The last time the GOP was in total power, controlling the WH and both houses of Congress, it accomplished nothing of importance but a tax cut. During the Obama Admin, it was the party of obstruction and nothing else, and it has now reverted to that role -- no constructive suggestions of any kind, just resist whatever the Dems want done.

Democrats want you to think their wouldn't be majority rule if whites were in the minority. If ethnic majorities were reversed and Democrats were still in control, you wouldn't hear a peep about any oppression of the white minority.

We'll see about that, because that is exactly what is going to happen -- whites will become a minority or at least non-majority in this society, and the Dems will be in control. But it is unlikely even then that "oppression of the white minority" will ever be an actual thing.
