Critical race theory was the hot topic on Fox News this summer. Not so much anymore.

Sound familiar?

Do you remember what the hottest topic on Fox News was this summer? If you guessed a more than 40-year-old theoretical framework for understanding the impact of structural and systemic racism, called critical race theory, you are right.

In June, the term was mentioned 993 times during Fox News programming, including overnight rebroadcasts of daytime and prime-time shows. In July, it was mentioned 921 times. That was after being mentioned only 132 times in all of 2020.

But the network seems to have largely moved on from critical race theory, which conservative activists and right-leaning media companies identified as a pressing threat as part of a backlash to the calls for greater attention to racial disparities that followed the police killing of George Floyd last year.

The theory, which holds that racial inequality is woven into contemporary institutions and legal systems, affecting people of color throughout their daily lives, is mostly fodder for law school discussions.

But vociferous critics of critical race theory have sought to conflate it with far less ambitious efforts in K-12 schools to promote diversity and discourage racial bias. As the cable news debate got hotter, the rhetoric began spilling over into school board meetings in places such as Loudoun County, Va., triggering outbursts and confrontations — and spawning more cable news coverage of the topic.

In August, however, critical race theory was mentioned only 325 times on Fox News. And in September, the theory was mentioned only 150 times on the network’s programming.

Their viewers are aware of just how fucking racist you and your tribe are.

Moving on.

So??

Is there a point??

 

[ll74]

Bud still talks about it.

 

[Earthlyone]

Lots of things have simmered down a bit since summer last year. Don't black lives matter any more??

Lately, it's only when I remind how upset he is about it.

Not an election year.... no.

 

[RoryN]

Their entire M.O. is "onto the next outrage" because none of their outrages survive on their own merits for very long.

They'll never be over it - but they know they've lost.

If black lives matter, why do so many black men kill other blacks? Why do so few black men marry the mothers of their children, and raise those children properly? Blacks are far more likely to be killed by other blacks than by whites.

 

[The_Trouvere]

Diversity with blacks can only be achieved by lowering standards for blacks. Why is that beneficial?

We already have plenty of diversity with Jews and Orientals in high positions. They earn their high positions with high IQ power.

Christ...lol.

He enjoys bragging about this shit he makes up in his head.

 

[BidudeinWi]

Christ...lol.

Everything he said is true and that’s all ya got! As predicted, you’re intellectually empty!

 

[Philthy_Phil]

The truth about american history scares deplorables. They would rather cling to the myth that america was always such a great place.

The point is that anti-racism, including CRT, is not racist, and is not a code word for anti-white.

A direct and total lie on both counts.....rationalwiki's denial is confirmation of this.

"In the U.S and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white."

Well, that's not false, and not itself racist, and attention certainly should be called to it.

Trouvere is the kind of racist who still buys the old racial pseudoscience. Discounting cultural and sociological factors, he believes in a hierarchy of strictly hereditary "IQ power" among different racial groups, with whites and Asians ranking at the top.

That's because he's A: a dumb asshole and B: 127 years old.

But more intellectual than most racists, to whom their racism is more a matter of simple visceral loathing of the other.

Of course it's false and it's wildly racist. Congrats, you're an anti-white racist.

No, racist lies don't need extra attention beyond being exposed for the racist bullshit it is.

It is a sociological fact that white Westerners are so socialized.

 

[CornusKousa]

No, it's a racist opinion.

Just because a bunch of racist lefties back it, doesn't make it a sociological fact.

I'm sure not even you would dispute that white Westerners were socialized to believe in their own racial superiority as recently as 1960. When did it change?

Oh yes - he most certainly would.
