Critical race theory

[rothschild]

I hate the name Critical Race Theory. I don't think it accurately explains what it means. But according to Sally I make no sense anyway, so she can just skip this post.


Critical race theory, also known as CRT, is an academic concept taught in university sociology classes and at law school. It’s based on the idea that racism is a social construct that is embedded in all aspects of our lives, including in legal systems and policies.

It is not a new concept-it has been around since the 70's.

Some school lessons, antiracism efforts and diversity training, though, might reflect some foundational tenets of critical race theory, particularly that racism is systemic and still influences access to equal justice, education and health care for people of color in the United States.

Critical race theory does not say that any one race is better or worse than another. It merely says that white people tend to benefit from existing social and legal systems in the U.S. -- and that removing disparities requires changing those systems, not just individual people’s hearts and minds.

Critics of CRT claim it discriminates against white people and encourages a victim mindset in which white people are oppressors while students of color are victims.

Critics also claim the teaching of CRT is "un-American".

I think it perfectly describes what we're seeing in the world, here's why: The best known example of it is Black Lives Matter, started by a couple of radical marxist lesbians, one of whom is partnered with a white, transgendered, radical marxist whom she lives with in a white community. So what is the net effect BLM is having in cities that are defunding policing? Violent crime is exploding. But that's not a problem for these radical marxists because they don't live amongst the lumpen proles they profess to be concerned about -- which is a good(?) thing, because if they did they might very well be dead.

So here I am wondering why they didn't call this Marxist LGBTQ+ Lives Matter, because that would at least be honest. They don't care about men like George Floyd, or poor blacks in general. They care about power, and poor blacks are very useful towards that end, which is PRECISELY what critical theory is about.
