I Am Not White: Obliterating Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is the ultimate in explicit racism: It has race at the very center of its name, and at the core of its curriculum. Its corrupting influence on education, government, our military, and organizational principles of all kinds, public and private, is becoming pervasive.

CRT threatens to turn our country into something so corrupt that it becomes a grotesque caricaturey of its founding principles, purposes, and standing as the greatest country in the history of humanity and the world. There is a simple way to prevent this.

Here, I must note that “simple” is not the same as “easy.” It is a simple thing to quit smoking; you simply don’t put the next cigarette in your mouth -- forever. However, it’s not easy: You have to beat the nicotine addiction, and the social habit.

Likewise, quitting CRT is simple but not easy. But let’s start with a primary point: Most of us are not what we are forced to identify as. In my case, I am not White. Nor are people such as me White. As regards “people of color,” more and more are rejecting CRT, and they are going on record in television interviews, school board meetings, university showdowns, and more. Many non-Whites (for lack of a better term) are rejecting racism, that is, the segregating of people based on skin color; the assignment of beliefs, behaviors, and various levels of “privilege” -- or complete lack -- based on skin color. It is heartening that people of all stripes are, increasingly, rejecting CRT.

Your ancestors must have been from either, Italy, Portugal or Spain. Am I correct?

I am a naturalized citizen. My late dad's ancestor was from Sweden. He was a major during the 30 year war (1618-1648) He and his brother stayed in Germany. He met a woman from Bishofsheim /Rhoen mountains and married her. His brother moved to a different area and stayed there. My Dad's ancestor was very successful and the family became the richest family.

However they lost everything during the big inflation in the 1920s. My grandfather died when my dad, who was the youngest boy was 12 years old. He was born in 1912.

CRT is really an explanation of why minorities as a group, principally blacks, do not excel economically in the society of American opportunity. Economic failure results in a host of other societal ills, such as criminal activity. CRT believes that all racial groups are equally capable on an even playing field and should perform equally to whites. They equate an uneven playing field to “white privilege”.

Upon examining the premise of equality of capability and the societal construct of the playing field, there are two possible conclusions, either the premise of equality of capability is false, or indeed the economic playing field is biased in favor of whites.

The elephant in the room says that much has been studied regarding the lesser innate intelligence of American blacks. The “Bell Curve” and other studied around the world have come to this conclusion. It does not mean the black Americans are less human or less valuable in the eyes of God. So I pose that the premise of equality of capability is false. Why should this not be possible? White men can’t jump.

The minority standing on the sideline only see the outcome of the creativity, dedication and hard work of those that choose to compete. He assumes that all those people have succeeded with capabilities similar to his. This is an error. But his conclusion is that the playing field must be tipped in favor of the whites. What to do?

The best revenge for minorities against White Privilege is to compete and succeed. If you believe that the "playing field" is not level then you have two choices, compete anyway and work even harder to succeed, or go find another playing field.

The other playing field would be to succeed within your own minority community. Black owned businesses in Black neighborhoods, buying from Black distributors and producers.

Minorities will never find a solution in expecting whites to tip the playing field in their direction. The two groups have a completely different view of the field of competition. I think that whites go about their lives competing on the field of life and don't even see the blacks on the sidelines. Blacks stand on the sidelines and have no idea how to get on the field. For some reason they think they need to ask permission of the whites to play?

Just step on the field and compete! Or don't. It’s up to you. But don't blame it on whites if you can't.

Statistics can confuse the issue and muddy the waters.

Each individual person has strengths and weaknesses.

The “trick” is for each person to take full advantage of their strengths and minimize the negative impact of their weaknesses.

Whining and blaming just does not cut it, and people who do that (no matter _who_ they are) just have to add that to their list of weaknesses.

I have a dark European complexion and tan really well, my wife is Irish, so she is white-white.

My daughter used to tell her (homeschool) classmates that her mother is white and her father is brown. True.

(Thank God I’m not white?)

Indeed. Not only did I not know I was white until I was 12, the fact is that when I “tan” I get very dark brown and am often mistaken as “Indian”, “black”, or whatever and no one in asmall stores (like gas stations) will honor my checks even with identification.

I do think the shorter time we take to integrate fully and become equally “brown” in all its manifestations of brown, the more quickly with crap like CRT be gone.

I saw the ‘blacks on the sidelines’.

Lost two promotions to them. Accounting jobs.

In each case, I quit the job & went elsewhere.

Each of those ‘promoted’ persons didn’t last 6 months.

They couldn’t do the job—either in volume of accuracy or speed & efficiency.

I went out on my own & never looked back.
