The latest battle front in the culture wars is over Critical Race Theory (CRT), a dangerous concept that makes race the prism through which all aspects of American life should be analyzed. Recently, stories about corporation inculcation of CRT among employees, and the embrace of CRT in core curricula of grade schools starting as early as kindergarten, have caused a severe backlash and clash of ideologies that have initiated a national debate and fight over this dangerous and controversial policy.
Advocates for CRT (CRATs) specialize in sweeping generalities and vague assertions to sneak in a dangerous racist concept in order to advance their cause. Here are a few tips on how to engage CRT zealots in debate about this regressive and racist theory:
TIP 1 — Win the Crowd, Not the CRT Advocate
Forget trying to prove to the CRT advocate that CRT is a bad idea. It's a waste of time. Those people are hopeless and will never give up. Instead, talk away from the advocate and toward the other people in the discussion (e.g., the parents at a PTA meeting, the corporate management and colleagues at work, the readers of social media, not the poster). They are the people who need to understand why CRT is a dangerous idea that must be dumped in the trash bin of history.
TIP 2 — CRT Is the Crude Bigotry of Simpletons
Say it once, say it again: Critical Race Theory Is the Crude Bigotry of Simpletons. When "white people are bad" is asserted, just cut them off at the pass and establish ground rules by saying these exact words: "I won't engage in the crude bigotry of simpletons, but I will..." And remember Tip 1: speak to the crowd.

Excellent ideas. Thanks.

Exactly, point and sputter means the debate is over.
Very good ideas. Thanks for posting.
I find the most effective argument (which has the benefit of being true) is to acknowledge that on average blacks have a worse position in America than whites, and to then start talking about all the Democratic policies that continue the problem.
I am now seeing Leftists ignore the CRT is even a thing, that is is all just made up by conservatives and Fox News. I am not joking. Forget what you plainly see all around you, this is made up, is the evolving narrative.
Screw them. I just ask them if their biological father ever helped them tune their carburetor or took them hunting or fishing, or if their chimping out and resisting arrest ever got them off with only a verbal warning from the police.
Bingo!
CBoS. I like it, however CRT is after all a theory based pretty much on CBoS. Pretty much a great big nuthin burger. The crap of the day, till the next pile is discovered by CBoS.

Remember when Jessie Jackson led Stanford students in a chant: “Hey, ho, Western Civ has got to go”?
The Left wants to destroy Western Civilization and Western Man (aka whiteness).
One of their tenets is that discussion and debate is forbidden. It’s a sign of weakness.
Rd later.
