The real challenge will be keeping “conservatives” from accepting the Left’s premise ... Again.
Why do we give a crap what the left says about this? We just need to refuse to comply with it.
Their ‘logic’ is so convoluted it doesn’t matter what argument is used. Their sole purpose is to destroy and control.
F that!
I love it when Lefties refer to Critical Race Theory as having been subject to “peer review”.
Critical race theory and its equally evil and corrosive cousin, critical legal theory are steeped in Marxism.
There was a time in America when the rants of lunatics were simply ignored. Sadly over the last sixty years a significant percentage of the population has devolved into depravity. They embrace habitual drug use over sobriety, neopaganism with earth and celebrity worship, homosexuality with all its vile permutations, chronic dependence, and hedonism. The lunatics now have quite a constituency.
“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”
It has nothing to do with fear. It has to do with having dollars taken out of my pocket to pay for something I had nothing to do with. When you talk reparations you have completely lost me. No one who was a slave prior to the Civil War is alive, therefore, no one deserves reparations for being a slave. Moreover, no one who enslaved people prior to the Civil War is alive. Ergo, no one who was a pre-Civil War slaver is available to pay reparations. Getting the government to pay is absurd. The government’s money comes from the People, therefore demands that the government pay reparations is idiocy, since you would be penalizing people who had nothing to do with the decision to enslave.
Here it is from a different direction. I have 7 ancestors who were abolitionists and died during the Civil War in an effort to free the slaves, since this is what the war was about to these people. I want reparations\rewards for their efforts to free the slaves. Pay me. I figure in modern terms, the reward for the sacrifice of their lives in this effort is worth about 4 million dollars in lifetime employment earnings for each of those 7 ancestors. These descendants of slaves owe me 28 million dollars.
“The Washington Post’s Christine Emba claims conservative opposition to critical race theory has less to do with intellectual concerns and more to do with emotivism and fear.”
This is just another example of blowing a horn no matter where he music comes from. A social construct, which is what she is referring to, is something that exists not in objective reality, but as a result of human interaction. And the damning part of racial inequality was originally a concept of the south which housed most of the democrats in the country. So, who created the concept? A vast majority of the use of the slaves was in the south, so the trail is obvious.
So why are the democrat journalists trying to blame the republicans? Smoke and mirrors...and lies to cover their keysters.

You need to care about this because they are going to use it to send you to a concentration camp.
Maybe you misunderstood what I said
What could possibly be more reductionist than the entire Democratic Party platform. Remember Orange Man Bad? It takes just one exception to prove the reductionist CRT wrong.
Because "the Left" currently comprises roughly 48% (and rising) of our voting population.
Moreover, they have also seized control of at least one of our governments three branches (the Executive); have at least parity or better than parity in another (the Legislative); have an overwhelming control of mass media (television and print); are the de facto arbiters of online Free Speech (Google, Facebook, etc.); dominate tertiary education (the universities) and primary and secondary education; and have a powerful ally in many giant corporations ("Woke" American Airlines, Gillette, etc.).
But suit yourself! Go on! Keep "refusing to comply" - right up to the point where they hustle you and yours on to the cattle car.
Regards,
Maybe Fai Mao and I both misunderstood what you said.
Would you care to elaborate on / re-state your standpoint more clearly?
Regards,
That is really well done and painfully true.

So you remember that one billion Euro settlement (for 30 years) that Germany agreed to last week.....for having killed around 75,000 natives out of Namibia around 120 years ago. The payment to go to the Namibian government? The one that the two tribes affected by the killing.....which only number around 12-percent of the population of the country today?
Well....the two tribes are dissatisfied and said over the weekend that the mess is not finished.
The two tribes want 477 billion Euro, over forty years....ONLY for their tribes.
Odds of Germany agreeing to this? Virtually zero.
Odds of a civil war brewing out of this mess? I'd say that we just went from a one-percent chance, to a 30-percent chance.
Blame on the civil war and who started the mess? Well....yeah, it kinda leads back to Germany.
THIS is where the whole *reparations* game will end up.
I once had a disagreement with my (then) wife over a potential purchase. It was, I thought, a trivial matter that she persisted at until it became truly hostile.
The next day she came home from work and declared, “I talked to my friends at work and five out of six agreed that you were wrong”.
My response was, “Since your friends seem so interested in involving themselves in matters that are none of their business perhaps they should pay for your purchase”. Her notion of cobbling up a hackneyed “consensus” just had to be superior to logical considerations.
I learned lessons in both logical fallacies and personal betrayal that day.
Leftist projection - it’s not that you have a well thought out argument based upon facts and logic, it’s how you feel.
To understand “Critical Race Theory”, first understand the “...legitimate, logical concerns with this Marxist-informed school of thought”.
Second, it is useful to understand “Critical Race Theory” without the word “Race”...(i.e. “Critical Theory”). “Critical Theory” means the Western-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, developed in Germany in the 1930s. (See WikiPedia linked below for a primer).
Third, understand Marxists desire to destroy capitalistic societies globally. How would the current “CRT” differ in its aims if it was, instead, “Critical Monetary Theory”, “Critical Sexuality Theory”, or some other “Critical _____ Theory”?
IMHO...CRT = Poopy and CRT adherents are Poopy-Heads
