Critical Race Theory, or CRT, apparently originated in law schools as a tool for looking at laws through a racial lens. Now, as long as it’s not the only lens being used, I don’t have a problem with it. After all, there are laws that were created for racist reasons (see also: gun control).
The problem with CRT is that it’s often the only lens some people want to use and they’re using it everywhere.
Robin DiAngelo has made serious bank thanks to CRT. And over at the Foundation for Economic Education, they opted to take a look at some of the works kafkatraps one can find in CRT.
DiAngelo's biggest claim is that, if you're white, you're automatically and unavoidably racist. Now to be clear, DiAngelo doesn't mean that all white people have a conscious anti-minority bias. Rather, she claims that all white people employ racist assumptions and patterns that harm people of color and display an underlying bias.
To quote DiAngelo: "racism is unavoidable and…it is impossible to completely escape having developed problematic and racial assumptions and behaviors." Speaking of herself (DiAngelo is white), she says, "I also understand that there is no way for me to avoid enacting problematic (racial) patterns."

I dreamed that we would one day live in a society where Democrats quit trying to make the rest of us feel guilty over their own racist past.
OK, I give up. It is what it is.
And if there is nothing I can do about it, I can’t change it. So, it does them no good.to complain about it.
The left simply say crt is simply a grad school discussion, as though that makes it legit. Why is it even taught in grad school?
A question:
As a small business owner, does BLM, CRT, etc. make me more likely, less likely to hire a minority? Or is it just neutral?
Can a question be racist?
