Critical Race Theory: A Cult of Anti-White Resentment (Why is it widely sermonized in our colleges?)
American Thinker ^ | 03/22/2012 | By John T. Bennett

When asked by CNN's Soledad O'Brien about the definition of critical race theory (CRT), Emory Law Professor Dorothy Brown offered the following: "Critical race theory seeks to explain judicial decisions by asking the question, What does race have to do with it?" CRT simply "looks at race in America," professor Brown stated. That's a bit like saying that a religious zealot just "looks at" theology.

Critical race theorists do not merely look at racial questions. Like zealots, they give answers; they preach a doctrine, seek converts, and condemn nonbelievers. Indeed, CRT is the primary source of Orwellian "hate speech" proposals.

On CNN, O'Brien next asked Professor Brown whether CRT is "all about white supremacy," as Joel Pollak of Breitbart.com asserted previously. Brown replied, "No, it's nothing about white supremacy."

Yet Professor Brown should know precisely what role white supremacy plays in CRT. In her own published work on CRT, Brown wrote that CRT "seeks to highlight the ways in which the law is not neutral and objective, but designed to support White supremacy and the subordination of people of color"1. She then cites Emily Houh, who defined CRT thusly:

First, critical race theory seeks to expose the entrenchment of White supremacy and the reality of the continued subordination of people of color in the United States (and throughout the world). CRT, as Prof. Brown wrote and cited, certainly does have something to do with white supremacy.

As a law student at Emory University, I was assigned CRT readings in several elective courses -- namely, courses in hate speech and feminist legal theory. According to the Derrick Bell Reader, edited by CRT proponent Richard Delgado, CRT's "founding members" are professors Delgado, Derrick Bell, Kimberle Crenshaw, Mari Matsuda, Charles Lawrence, and Patricia Williams.

From all I have read about Obama’s life and associations, from his marxists mentors, to his terrorist friends and supporters, to his Liberation Theology, to his Critical Race Theory education, one thing is clear to me.

That is that Barack Hussein Obama is an avid anti-American racist, who despises this nation, what it was founded upon, the free market, our constitutional repblican form of government and way of life...and who, at the deepest recesses of his core, wants to fundamentally change and destroy the American way of life and dream and replace it with a command economy and centralized government with he and his cronies in complete control.

He is going about doing that methodically and with a will. When you understand this simply truth about the man and those around him, his actions make ssense and come into clarity.

You have to remember the biggest picture -
the left has always sided with the forces of anti-Christ.

“White” culture is really Western Judeao-Christian culture.

And, yes, communism is one of many anti-Christ movements in this world.

The proponents of CRT and especially Obama will most certainly reap the whirlwind.

Several old adages come to mind:

"Don't start nothing, and there won't be nothing."

"Be careful what you ask for."

"What goes around, comes around."

"Don't mess with a sleeping giant."

There are many things that appeal to human sin nature.
And the left capitalizes on all of them.

Jesus commanded us to LOVE one another.

Satan and his followers hate us, red yellow black and white!

Critical Race Theory is nothing more than Marxism applied to race. Marx said "All struggles are class struggles." Change it slightly and the statement becomes "All struggles are race struggles."

CRT simply describes the world exclusively through a racial lens, just as classic Marxism describes it through a fictional lens of class (economic) inequality.

You have to understand the mindset of these individuals. Like all leftists, wealth is not something created by the sweat and toil of people working to better their lot in life. For these people (radical leftists), wealth just is. Or if there is wealth, it was all created by poor people. Rich people never did anything to earn their riches...they just took it from poor people. (Take my word, there are countless leftists who believe that nonsense.) Now try and explain to me how people who supposedly had no wealth (the present wealthy) could take riches away from the present poor. Wouldn’t the now-rich have been the poor and were simply taking what was rightfully theirs from the past-rich? It’s as “logical” as what these lunatics have concocted.
