Anti white is too narrow

It's anti-merit
It's anti-Christian
It's anti-capitalism
It's anti-truth
It's anti-responsibility
It's anti-accountability
It's anti-liberalism

CRT can be summed up simply as a race-centric way of viewing society wherein you begin with the premise that racism is present (regardless of topic). People aren't people, they're groups battling for power. You're not individual white and black people you're either oppressor or oppressed. Guilt is collective. Victimization is collective.

Math is racist. So is two parents? And work ethic? All white supremacy?

Where is this stuff decided? Where is ground zero on these ideas? It must be a blast to sit around and think of the most off the wall stuff and watch the public just go with it so as not to offend the "oppressed".

My kid is going to be in school in a few years. I'm thinking of scaling back my housing situation and transportation needs to afford the 500.00 a month private school. Only bad thing is my kid will be at a loss when these public schools pump out woke sjw's on a mass scale.

Is it possible to navigate a society like that being normal?

What are we doing?

Yes, but they want you to think that you are alone and that it is impossible....so give up.

“But rather than abandon their Leftist political project, Marxist scholars in the West simply adapted their revolutionary theory to the social and racial unrest of the 1960s. Abandoning Marx’s economic dialectic of capitalists and workers, they substituted race for class and sought to create a revolutionary coalition of the dispossessed based on racial and ethnic categories.”

The article isn't good a explaining the origins. First, it wasn't the 90s. I encountered it in the late 80s. Second, it was immediately followed (early 90s) with the feminist version. But instead of following the name CRT with FT it was called Female Jurisprudence.

Both had the same goal. To destroy observable comparisons between POC to whites (race) and males to females (gender).
Those observable comparisons put white males in the position of dominance.

Short story:
Proposition: Blacks are more prone to crime and have lower IQs.
CRT: No, because all those studies are by whites and are influenced by white bias and white standards of what intelligence is and what crime is.

Female Version:
Proposition: Men invented everything we enjoy today.
Female Jur: No, because women weren't allowed to invent anything due to oppression by men.

Following CRT and FJ we saw the massive revision of history text books in the 1990s. So, if you looked at a HS American history text in 1995 you saw all these blacks and women who did almost nothing. But they were there to meet the quota.

What it is is a way for some to place blame at the feet of others for all their problems.

Put it in a book. As Chris Rock once said, knowledge is like kryptonite to certain people.

Add this Prager U video to the thread done by James Lindsay, who is basically the point person for all that is important to know about our new woke overlords.

Would be awesome to have a stickied thread with lots of links to things like this...

Thats the thing. If white peepo have been able to completely oppress Black people (without slavery in place) for 150 years… wouldn’t that make them… well… superior?

Let me be clear! I’m NOT making the claim that whites are supreme. But it would seem to be an obvious inference if CRT were a valid hypothesis (it’s not).

You see the inferiority argument all over the place in modern CRT. Misnamed “anti-racists” want to end advanced education programs because the have low Black enrollments. But isn’t that saying, they can’t get or stay in those programs?

I refuse to believe skin color makes them incapable of competing with any other racial group. Being non-white hasn’t slowed down the asians from participating in those programs.

One word sums up CRT...Envy. It's the 2021 version of 'Cain and Abel'.

Race is determined by a particular set of Genes; Genes determine particular physical and intellectual strengths and weaknesses in all Lifeforms. These characteristics have zero to do with Morality, as such is determined by MLK's "content of character" criteria.

A strong attempt by Lucifer to equalize it's self with God. Will crash and burn, after running it's course.

Fight it by telling them to sit down and shut up, don't apologize, call them racists, and walk away.

Ohhh and important to step up for people being attacked

Damn, this was a good post and a very concise way to sum up the Critical Race Theory movement.

I - as well as others of all races I've gotten to know throughout the years in my profession - believe that race relations were at the best they'd ever been about 5-10 years ago. Something clicked when Trump got elected that turned the race baiters up to 10 and made them go into overdrive, and full-on insanity has ensued since then.

We're more divided than we've been since the 60s when it comes to racial issues, and there's no reason for it other than the media and academia focusing on it constantly. I'd venture to say that there's less true racism now than ever in this country, but you wouldn't believe it if you only listened to the news or your professors.

It's so, so, SO deeply saddening to me that kids as young as 5 are being taught to believe that you're either oppressed or the oppressor, and it's mostly drawn by racial lines. White kids are being made to be the enemy, while all other ethnicities are being made to hate them and view them as the enemy. No matter what anyone says the curriculum entails or ignores as far as painting a target on one race, this is 100% the case; kids are taught that all white people are bad and guilty of oppressing other races.

I don't understand how they can't see the end result here - that racism will be the worst it's been since slavery existed if they continue down this path.

They are literally pushing for segregation and the victimization of white peoples, making them out to be hated and the ills of society. We're on our way back to before the civil rights movement, just with a different twist. Minorities will push for and WANT to be segregated from whites, and whites will be made to be the boogeyman.

Within the next 50-100 years we will revert back to the pre-civil rights era and it'll be cheered, until it all goes to shite and everyone wants harmony again. It's fricking crazy, we were supposed to have learned from our mistakes and judge everyone based on character instead of color.
