Critical race theory (CRT) maintains that the United States is founded on racial supremacy and oppression. The US Constitution, legal system, and institutions, according to critical race theorists, are inherently racist. Unequal outcomes, they suggest, are a reflection of systemic racism.
America’s material achievement and economic growth, critical race theorists argue, has only been achieved through exploitation and coercion. The free market, far from elevating the condition of all Americans, is a tool of extortion.
Critical race theory is perhaps best thought of as a form of Marxism. Old-school Marxists divided the world by class—capitalist oppressor versus oppressed workers. Critical race theory is a new variant of Marxism that divides the world instead by race—race oppressors versus oppressed races.
The old-school Marxist solution was revolution. The workers, they advocated, should unite to overthrow an inherently exploitative system and build instead a new socialist society with top-down design. In pursuit of this idea, the twentieth century saw a series of Marxist revolutions, including those in Russia (1917), Cuba (1959), Ethiopia (1974), and Cambodia (1975), in which millions of people died. The workers’ paradise never quite emerged.
Critical race theorists in America today also seek to overturn the existing order. In the space of only a few years, this radical idea once confined to university campuses has started to take hold in mainstream society, including among big corporations, HR departments, government bureaucracies, and even the US military.
As an outsider who has only recently moved to America, I have a profound appreciation of what makes America the greatest republic on earth. As such, I believe critical race theory is profoundly harmful. Rather than encouraging young Americans to appreciate their country’s remarkable moral and material achievements, it invites them to lose confidence.

It’s a Marxist theory and the only good communist is a ______ communist.
CRT will morph, again and again.
Conservatives will always be catching up and responding.
I like how you think. I’ll be keeping an eye on you.
Lady Justice should remove the blindfold and blind them with the sword.
“Critical race theory is perhaps best thought of as a form of Marxism. Old-school Marxists divided the world by class—capitalist oppressor versus oppressed workers. Critical race theory is a new variant of Marxism that divides the world instead by race—race oppressors versus oppressed races.”
It was called CT, Critical Theory. Oppressed working class revolt. But the working class in USA had it too good.
Now it is CRT, Critical Race Theory. Oppressed Blacks.
Marxists gotta do what marists gotta do.
Its emphasis on division by race means it share that with National Socialism - Nazis!
Laugh and ridicule it
“CRT will morph, again and again.”
It is nothing more than hating whites based on envy. Any form of socialism uses envy to hate another group. Given enough time, the number of people left approaches one.
Ignore it and teach our kids real life skills.
“Its emphasis on division by race means it share that with National Socialism - Nazis!”
CT had nothing to do with race. CRT was developed by white dudes not to keep races separate but to cause the blacks to start a revolution
“CRT will morph, again and again.”
CT morphed into CRT. What would be next?
Remember what the Lord said about trees and fruit?
Corrupt tree, corrupt fruit.
CRT is a fruit of the poisonous tree of Marxism and nothing good can come of it.
Rather than encouraging young Americans to appreciate their country’s remarkable moral and material achievements, it invites them to lose confidence.
And that my friend is the whole idea behind it.
How can you defend something you have no confidence in?
It’s why they start with the children.
On the Jan. 6 “Democrats Wallow in Victimhood Day,” Kamala know-nothing stupidly equated J6 w/ 911 and Pearl Harbor.
Kamala Harris and the Dem hit squads have spent the last 30 years attacking the United States as racist, oppressive, homophobic, xenophobic, etc.......decrying it’s formation by “evil religious white men to oppress anyone who was unwhite.”
But on Jan 6, she, and the Party of Never Miss a Political Opportunity, suddenly “saw the light.”
The knee-jerkers crassly played the “give a damn card.”
Harris: “What the extremists who roamed these halls sought to degrade and destroy was not only a building, hallowed as it is,......they were assaulting the institutions, the values, the ideals that generations of Americans have shed blood to establish and defend.”
Too bad they don’t govern as if they believed all that.
Teach all of US history…warts and all
It is critical theory ( a communist world view) that is the problem
I was just thinking about this yesterday, how the left marginalizes their political dissent to the point of hatred, then using any and all labels to justify their hatred.
The division in the country will grow and grow. According to the left, conservatives are capable of nothing but hate speech. They are all intrinsically and extrinsically racist. They are homophobic adding all ___ic they can construct. Religion will all be hate speech and longer be able to exist. They wont be able to raise their own children because we cant parent them the way we see fit. Conservatives are no longer political opponents, they are national adversaries, filth, the cause of the national decline. And then they will move to cancel us. First with speech, then with ability to assemble, then with finances. Then with whatever is remaining. The second amendment is our only hope of not allowing this to happen. Our political system is not exactly dead yet, but I can clearly see the celebrated removal of the constitution in my lifetime.
You missed it.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.
The thing is the left always need to marginalize one group. Once they eliminate one group, they will move to another and rinse and repeat.
I don’t see them removing the Constitution. They will just change the definitions like they did with “vaccine” and “gain of function”.
Currently, it would be difficult to be a conservative without being a Christian.
I see wonderful conservatives like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro and Dinesh D’Souza that are not Christians. Conservativism is about principle, reason, persistent search for truth, and intelligence. It spans religions. That being said, for me, Christianity is my foundation.
