Is this a Valid Definition of Critical Race Theory?

[dixon01767]

The fact is that, as post pointed out, Fox News has mentioned CRT nearly 1,300 times in 3 1/2 months, and so now through some baffling coincidence, conservatives are enraged over CRT.

There is no group more obsessed over race.

It's funny that those viewers aren't upset at being so transparently suckered, but here we are.

???? You approve of indoctrinating kids with CRT in schools. IF conservatives felt the same, they would then have been suckered. They dont and are opposed to CRT in schools.

You posted that you went to law school, so why is this so difficult for you to grasp? "The money" behind this "psy-op" as all other "donor class" RWE investments, is expected to pay off. The goal, as always is lower taxes, less tax compliance enforcement, less regulation.
The "Op" is worn thread bare, predictable... divert attention by scape goating the least powerful in the society. Money is power.

"Conservatives haven’t had a lot of high-profile, practical victories lately, ways they can show their supporters that their side is winning important battles. Democrats took the White House and control of Congress, Obamacare is remains in place, same-sex marriage is legal, and those on the right fear they’re losing every cultural conflict. So if you can’t defeat a real enemy, why not take on an imaginary one?

Thus it is that “critical race theory” — an academic approach to understanding the way race operates within systems and institutions — has become the new conservative bugaboo. Though it is no more a topic taught to children than post-structuralism or computational quantum chemistry (if you ever encountered it before this year, you probably went to grad school), the entire American right is now donning its battle gear to fight this threat to their children’s education and way of life. The fact that this is a phantom threat is essential to understanding how the strategy works.

Not sure of the relevance of all of that. I and many others at the school were engaged in vigorous debate over Critical Race Theory in 1989-90. Same debate parents with children in school are now having over the validity of CRT, now that it has come to them.

CRT is a part of that school of thought, and it creates racism, it does not stop it or address it.

Rubbish.

CRT explains how systemic racism in America still exists today despite the passage of time and civil rights laws.

CRT explains - and demonstrates - how systemic racism is hardwired into American society and culture.

A contemporary indicator of systemic racism is the disparity in COVID-19 deaths in the US.

Racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality wider than reported, study finds

More than a year into the pandemic, the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 among racial and ethnic minorities in the US has been well documented. But a new study reveals that previous research has underestimated the true extent of racial disparities in COVID-19 deaths -- as well as the extent...

CRT explains nothing. It simply attributes ANY racial disparity to racism.

Vitamin D Levels Tied to COVID-19 Risk for Black People​

Compared to people with lighter skin, Black people have more melanin in their skin, which affects the body's ability to synthesize vitamin D.

Does Vitamin D Deficiency Pose a Special Risk for Black People?

It’s possible, scientific research shows. More melanin in the skin may impede vitamin D synthesis in the body. Here’s what you need to know if you are a Black person concerned about low vitamin D.

Critical Race Theory is the latest right-wing freakout. As usual, righties can never demonstrate the harm caused by their latest target of hate. Instead of admitting that their argument falls flat yet again, they turn up the volume as loud as they can to drown out all rational thought. This is how righties operate now.

The way I understand CRT goes something like this particular example: blacks were excluded de facto from the GI Bill, something that helped create/strengthen the US middle class. That exclusion meant a lack of accumulated wealth that was passed on to heirs and has an effect on our lives today. Thus in this instance, racism had a lasting effect. There are other historical examples I imagine scholars might offer. None of this says that all whites are racist, or any of the other things some folks are freaking out over.

Once again, a YouTube Source I find of interest bringing up a topic of valid discussion.

This young psychologist (and member of a knitting society, who knew that was political?) has put forward an interesting definition of Critical Race Theory.

I post the video, but will also post the Definition below it for discussion purposes:



Here is her definition:

"1. Critical Race Theory is an Ideology started in academia in the 1970's that says racism exists everywhere - in every person and system - and the job of the critical theorist is to assess HOW (not if) racism occurred in any circumstance. Racism is always ASSUMED to have occurred.

2. Another way to think of critical race theory is this: it's the opposite of what Martin Luther King preached. It is the idea that we should judge people on the basis of their race, that race is the only thing that matters about them, not the content of their character."

She goes on to explain how this is problematic as if one starts with a conclusion that racism has occurred and one work's their way back from that initial conclusion, that is confirmation bias in action. You'll only look for information that supports your conclusion.

Worse, you will dismiss any information that does not conform to your expectations. You will look until you find something that confirms your expectations, and disparage anyone who does not agree/conform with the conclusion.

The poll question is:

Do you agree with this definition, and analysis:

Yes.

No.

Other, explain.

CRT is by and large camouflage for Identitarian ideology and propaganda. Basically it makes racisms ok again, at least that is the impact, which I believe is intentional.

It's nearly impossible. Fascism believes in forced stratification, and stratification requires forced division.

I agree, I was just speaking of a situation where someone denounced that fascist belief. Interesting fact: one of my best friends is a former white supremacist who is now a liberal. He even had the FBI come to him one day and asked if he'd be a mole for them.

You are either lying or could not comprehend his argument. And while his argument was clunky it was clear what he was saying: Selling electronics (e.g. phones, computers, etc) mined by slave children in developing countries should be considered the moral equivalent of possessing child pornography.
