No such thing as “black racism”. It’s just racism.

Can't. Same as Black Liberation Theology. They are interchangeable.

Let's talk it out, what makes CRT racist?

I think CRT is evil, and I think it's arguably racist, but I think it's a good thing for this board to have good answers on, hence the devil's advocate routine.

It’s the new “Jim Crow”! Seems we have learned and evolved past such things!

I've got my own theory on race but I can't talk about it. I'd probably get the ax.

This is a good point. CRT itself isn't exactly "racist." It's just wrong and enables victimhood.

Put clearly, CRT is the belief that racism (against minorities is the assumption) is baked into legal, political, educational, and societal structure. Therefore it's incumbent upon all to counteract this by giving advantage to the minorities that don't actually suffer under these purportedly racist systems.

This is indeed a factual lie. If this were the case almost all white people would dominate all others all the time, but average whites get outclassed by harder working immigrants and minorities all the time. CRT is pure victimhood where there is no victim.

The idea that all poor statistical outcomes for blacks can be explained by whitey’s racism.

It’s a movement rather than what we think of as a theory. And it’s designed to bring a Marxist revolution through standard Marxist theory. It’s probably closer to a religion than political theory.

Essentially, CRT (and it's offspring, DEI) teaches that every system created by whites is racist ("systemic racism") because whites are inherently oppressors and blacks are inherently victims of white oppression. In other words, (according to CRT/DEI) you can't separate a white person from their drive to be an oppressor nor can you separate a black person from their being victimized by white oppression.

To ascribe behaviors intrinsically to race, especially behaviors so deeply entwined as CRT/DEI opines of the victim and oppressor statuses, is definitively racist.

Though they use power structure, the idea that some people can be racist and others cannot seems fairly racist on the surface when its used to marginalize thoughts from a particular race.

Correct. The idea we are born into "systematic racism" (on the oppressor side) by birth seems pretty racist on the surface.

Funny thing, it started in Law School where its weaponized.

CRT is supposed to be a critical (contributing to the whole) ideal instead of some stand alone philosophy.

They've turned an approach into a pseudo religion.
