Critical Race Theory is just another racist construct used to justify mistreatment of others based solely on the color of their skin.
There is an interesting (and telling) consequence of the propagation of Critical Race Theory (CRT) throughout the collective American intellect, creating a dissonance that fuels the continuation of the very ideas CRT claims to banish.
The elements and expressions of racism alleged by CRT to be inextricably woven into the fabric of American society have indeed existed in the past, and some elements have survived to the present day. However, CRT misplaces blame for both origin and perpetuation of the offensive constructs and prescribes remedies that ensure that these pernicious mindsets never leave the public's consciousness.
The 17th- and 18th-century arguments made to justify not only slavery, but ill treatment of blacks in general were based on assumptions of racially determinable measures of inferiority. It was widely held that blacks were intellectually inferior to whites, needing the "firm hand" of slavery to guide them toward a productive life, as they were genetically incapable of charting a successful course on their own. This paternalistic view suffused much of the scholarship of that era, leading to a raft of pseudo-sciences dedicated to the illustration of racial inferiority and the bolstering of the slavery-as-benevolence myth.
CRT recognizes all this; indeed, proponents of CRT study these constructs with intense effort. Yet...
They fail to make the connection between the offensive "benevolent slavery" argument of two centuries prior and the continuation of that same construct through the bigotry of low expectations that animates the welfare state and all left-wing racial policymaking.

Someone also needs to tell these leftists that socialism and communism is slavery to the state.
‘Woke utopia’, the end of the West & a new cult - James Lindsay interview
Truly brilliant, {genius really}, analysis of “critical race theory.”
Why watch it? If you don’t want your guilty white family to be herded into a gulag or a gas chamber by the rampant Woketarians, you seriously need to watch and understand this.
“James Lindsay is a US academic with a background in math and physics. He co-authored the book Cynical Theories which takes a deep dive into the woke movement and its academic roots. Lindsay was also involved in the Grievance studies affair where a group of academics submitted fake papers for peer review to shine a light on poor standards and postmodernist ideas.”

If whites are inferior now, does that mean white men all have big dicks ?
There has to be SOME upside here?
Buahahahahahaha!
That James Lindsay video is a must watch! The link you provided starts at a key area of the interview. I watched the whole thing last night and I will probably watch again later today. James is very well informed about the origins and terminology used by the “Critical Theorists” as well as the new use of race in this corrupt ideology.
And dividing a population is still nothing more than a variation of the old "divide and conquer" strategy, with the ultimate goal being nothing more than just a not-so-good old fashion totalitarian government instead of a representative one (in our case).
And it ALWAYS ends the same way.
It should be called Criminal Race Theory instead because all it is causing is a crime wave that those who believe this BS think is justified.
While the old fashioned communists (folks like Obama, the media, the Democrats, and Ruling Establishment) break the country apart in an effort to establish their totalitarian rule, there is a bigger shark circling just out of their sight.
Chy-Nah.
It looks like China is letting the domestic commies rip us apart (preparing the ground, if you will) before they step in and take over publicly.
Yes, he’s brilliant.
Much of being a prosperous person involves making good decisions. I have known several people who always seemed to have financial and personal problems. When I discussed it with them it was clear to me that they were consistently making bad choices when there were clear good and bad options. When I offered advice to make the good choice option in things they were currently doing, many of these people visibly shuddered. I don’t know what you do when some people seem so determined to make the very decisions that cause them to fail. Making good decisions has nothing to do with skin pigmentation.

wow, how did that multiple click happen?
MLK said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. Radical leftist want to destroy King’s dream and replace it with “Separation Theory”, that is every single group should have it’s own drinking fountain and destroy everyone elses. Charles Barkley is right, the politicians are creating a Frankenstein monster out of the dead parts of racism...
