Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. It’s time for this to change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.
In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict.

During the 20th century, a number of regimes underwent Marxist-style revolutions, and each ended in disaster.

But rather than abandon their Leftist political project, Marxist scholars in the West simply adapted their revolutionary theory to the social and racial unrest of the 1960s. Abandoning Marx’s economic dialectic of capitalists and workers, they substituted race for class and sought to create a revolutionary coalition of the dispossessed based on racial and ethnic categories.

Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs, and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks, and school curricula.
There are a series of euphemisms deployed by its supporters to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.” Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality.

This article explains what is going on in a way that everything makes almost perfect sense.
We are in the midst of a communist/Marxist revolution and Critical Race Theory is the enemy's weapon of choice.
Good article!
Critical Race Theory is just another tool in the commie toolbox to take us down. Plain and simple.
It is a cancer that has metastasized such that it has spread to every city, town, and hamlet in the U.S. through our schools and colleges. And it has completely infected our military and government institutions.
And the enemy is your democrat party voting neighbor, friend and family member.
Call it what you want. It’s systemic elimination of Whitey and Christianity, after separating Whitey from his money.
Yes. Critical Racists are just re-packaged Neo-Marxists if the Marcuse type.
In 1928 Stalin determined that America is too well off to be destroyed by the standard Communist propaganda of class warfare. So they decide, that the way to defeat America is to create racial divisions. Critical Racists are the latest example of this Stalinist project.
the world’s worst idea that just won’t die
Under Marxism, religion of any kind (not just Christianity) will be replaced by the state and there are plenty of Whities pushing Critical Race Theory.
The Elites and Globalists behind CRT all almost all white. They are using CRT to take control, not to get rid of whitey.
What people don't understand is that after the revolution is over, troublemakers, misfits, undesirables, and underperformers of ALL colors will be "dispensed with."
Inner city kids who are currently fighting on the "front lines" will be the first to go to the gas chambers.
It is at the core of our being.
Jehovah (and Christ) want(s) us to think for ourselves and then choose the right way (Righteousness, as it is known) out of reason because it is the only path to freedom.
The Dark Side wants us to shut up and do as it tells us.
That’s true, but I think a lot of our neighbors and family members don’t realize they are being used by the communists. They don’t recognize that they have been brainwashed.
I worked in Executive Compensation for a large part of my career. I have an MBA Finance and didn’t have much in common with my HR partners. I was the outcast of the team. Always trying to bring up ‘pay for results’ and using sports analogies. They avoided debate, and spoke in platitudes
I no longer give a pass to the “useful idiots” who put tyrants into government. Regardless of why they do it, they are still responsible for doing it.
I’m guessing Hillsdale College has a flood of applicants this year. If my children were college-aged, this is where they’d be going without a doubt.
I won’t pay tuition money for my kids to be indoctrinated and made to be ashamed for who they are.

There's also the influence of foreign decolonization and revolutionary movements and the complicated relationship between the white student revolutionaries of the 1960s and 1970s and the nonwhite activists and masses they claimed to support.
That's the toughest part. I've read where it can take 10 good years for the brainwashing to wear off. They've been exposed to media, Hollywood and the American education system for two decades.
I've tried to reason with family members - especially young ones - to make them realize that we are in the government's cross-hairs. Their answer is: "You are a conspiracy theorist and evil Republican!"
I've given up on them. The brainwashing is too entrenched, some people have to find out the hard way. Problem is, we'll all go down together.
What is interesting about critical race theory is the premise that different races are genetically predisposed to certain behaviors and it is permissible to judge them on a basis of some being superior to others. Those beliefs are fundamental to good old fashioned racism that justified slavery and Hitler’s concept of the super race. What is old is new again.
