What the Critical Race Theory Left Seeks Is the 'Dictatorship of the DOA'
PJ Media ^ | 6-5-21 | Mark Tapscott

...imperative that Americans take seriously the proposal of Ibram X. Kendi, one of the most prominent and influential advocates of Critical Race Theory (CRT).

Kendi appeared in a Politico Magazine video in which he said:

To fix the original sin of racism, Americans should pass an anti-racist amendment to the U.S. Constitution that enshrines two guiding anti-racist principals: Racial inequity is evidence of racist policy and the different racial groups are equals. The amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials (with “racist ideas” and “public official” clearly defined).

It would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for pre-clearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won’t yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas.

The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.

Skip

...he surely means for his words to be taken seriously, being a CBS correspondent and contributor to The Atlantic, a New York Times best-selling author, and a Harvard University scholar. He is also the founder and former director of American University’s Antiracism Center...

This new American Politburo would be staffed solely by “formally trained experts on racism,” which is to say a new priesthood of Kendi clones armed with absolute rule answerable to no one. Kendi’s pointed “no political appointees” reference is a ... indication of how utterly insulated the DOA would be from any accountability remotely resembling a democratic process.

These leftists, in their own words, want absolute totalitarian power, like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, or Iran's mullahs. The ego of these people is absolutely astounding to me.

There is abig goal behind this.

They are trying to create a recognized power structure outside of the legtimate power structures, to control the legitimate power structures.

These people can’t govern, they can’t win office, they can’t get into the power structure the normal way, plus they do illegal things which would get them fined or jailed or both, so they want to force new positions to be filled by them, and demand they receive real authority and salaries.

From these positions they will demand more powerand demand the removal of elected and admin people in govt that do not go along with them.

We have a USSC which hears cases over policies and laws as they may fail to protect equal rights. The remedy is such. That and electing legislators who write bad laws along with unelected bureaucrats who regulate our society with bad policies.

Widespread teaching of critical race theory combined with a widespread drive to “defund the police” will result in a certain race of people being persecuted without consequence.

We’re way to well armed for that to work well.

The flip side is that may be part of the plan.

Sounds like the NFL and NBA would have to recruit many more whites and fewer blacks.

To: DeweyCA; All
I recommend Charles Murray's most recent book, Human Diversity. If you see it in a bookstore, read the introduction, which is only ten pages. It outlines the project, which is to challenge what Murray calls "The Orthodoxy."

The book is a sketch of the current scientific understanding of differences among groups, the differences being the distribution of various traits over large populations. Murray does not want to reignite the firestorm that erupted over The Bell Curve so he largely sidesteps any discussion of IQ. He focuses instead on genetic differences among the races as they relate to disease patterns and treatments, which is a significant issue for biomedical researchers, and differences in interests and temperament between the sexes, measured as average tendencies across large groups. The point is, groups do have significant differences. An exact equality of outcomes is not to be expected.

The problem, however, is that any discussion of group differences as anything other than a "problem" to be solved has become taboo in academia, the media, and the political realm. The assertion of group sameness has become dogma. It can be career ending to challenge it openly. And it is simply false. Murray calls this "The Orthodoxy." From the introduction:

The Orthodoxy

The core doctrine of the orthodoxy in the social sciences is a particular understanding of human equality. I don’t mean equality in the sense of America’s traditional ideal – all are equal in the eyes of God, have equal inherent dignity, and should be treated equally under the law – but equality in the sense of sameness. Call it the sameness principle: In a properly run society, people of all human groupings will have similar life outcomes. Individuals might have differences in abilities, the orthodoxy (usually) acknowledges, except for undeniable ones such as height, upper body strength, and skin color. Inside the cranium, all groups are the same.

The sameness principle theoretically applies to any method of grouping people, but three of them have dominated the discussion for a long time: gender, race, and socioeconomic class. Rephrased in terms of those groups, the sameness premise holds that whatever their gender, race, or the class they are born into, people in every group should become electrical engineers, nurture toddlers, win chess tournaments, and write sci-fi novels in roughly equal proportions. They should have similar distributions of family income, mental health, and life expectancy. Large groups differences in these life outcomes are prima facie evidence of social, cultural, and governmental defects that can be corrected by appropriate public policy.

The assertion that all group differences are the result of racist or sexist policy and culture is simply false. It is a lie. This is not to deny that public policy is irrelevant; bad policy does indeed have bad outcomes, and that is something we should always be alert to address. But we must avoid the reductionist fallacy. The lie is currently being weaponized as a single factor, reductionist explanation of every social difference. This has totalitarian implications because the lie insists on something that will virtually never emerge from spontaneous, natural, social self-organization.

This is precisely why the left has seized with such ferocity on critical race theory and the current gender insanity. The lie creates a standard that will never be met in a free society, because the lie rests on a false model of human nature. If the lie is allowed to drive policy, the result will be comprehensive government control, increasingly totalitarian in reach because every failure to achieve exact sameness will be met by a doubling down on the lie with ever increasing intensity. The left has always hated the concept and operation of a free society. Critical race theory and the gender identitarians have given the left a weapon that is designed to smash every expression of spontaneous free social organization.

Surprise! Leftist, dark skinned democrats demand the use of government to destroy their enemies. Once again, folks, lawfare is the preferred weapon of democrat party soldiers in our on-going civil war II.

There is a name for people who advocate such nonsense. We call them 'Kooks".

The left’s newest conflation...inequity equals inequality.

As long as we allow the leftists to define the terms of the debate, we are always to come up short.

It’s time to bring sanity back to the NATION, and to FEDGOV.

Ah, but the Republican “leadership” doesn’t want to be bothered with the war of words and hard work countering the leftist attack. They will sit back and let it happen.

Kendi... in a Politico Magazine video.. said:

Whoever transcribed Kendi needs to learn how to spell principles.

Much like Bammy, Kendi is quite the constitutional scholar.
