Is this a Valid Definition of Critical Race Theory?

[Bullseye]

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.

Funny thing is if you change “right-wing” with “left-wing” and your post becomes a true statement.

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.

CRT has been on the radar of most conservatives for well over a decade. It's merely refreshing to see someone in the media actually bringing it to a more broad audience.

You , unsurprisingly, totally missed his point.

He has no point, his posts are as blunt as a basketball.

It's just a boogeyman that Fox decided to play on repeat over a thousand times to drown out the insurrection attempt.

No one they ever meet will ever experience CRT, not even in a seven stages of Kevin Bacon kind of way, but they are deeply victimized by it, and that gives them the happy farts.

...And, they don't seem to ever notice that they are predictably herded like cattle into resenting and scape goating those on the rungs of the socio-economic ladder below them, a reflexive focus in the opposite direction from those who they vote for to bankrupt their grandchildren and AWAY from the financial sponsors of those politicians, the RWE donor class who the rubes not only do not see as their facts driven political opposition, but who they actually identify with and venerate!

A busted out "populist" movement resulting from a disinfo manipulation investment successful beyond the wildest dreams of its financers, from Scaife to the Koches to the Mercers.

And to achieve their goal, Fox News trained them over decades to be suspicious of other mass media sources, local, state, and federal government, science, economics, and so much else, but especially libs . . . and to insta-matically qualify as a lib, you simply need to point out how Fox News is manipulating them.

But once they classify you as a lib, they won't believe anything you say.

They're fully insulated. Fox, a news organization, has somehow conditioned them to embrace ignorance.

No, it hasn't.

It certainly has been. Perhaps the easiest search you could do is of Glenn Beck in 2009. He ended up insinuating that Obama was racist while discussing CRT and then apologized. Beck's commentary was one of the first to hit mainstream but it certainly wasn't the first.

-edit-
I'll do you one better. Here's a link to my earliest post mentioning the subject (on this forum) back in 2013. - https://debatepolitics.com/threads/...o-love-you-baby.155307/page-2#post-1061604189 - I discussed it quite a bit on boards I frequented before this one.

They should go back to complaining about Mr. Potato Head

Hahahaha

I forgot about that!!!

It just hasn't.

Tucker's great replacement, with a nudge and a wink to white power, wasn't working, and the defense of the insurrection made viewers feel guilty.

But Fox hit the jackpot with CRT, which no one you ever meet will ever experience. But oh, that feeling of victimhood and just because you're white--oh, that's crack cocaine to white conservative seniors.

Nearly 1,300 times in 3 1/2 months, Fox talked about it--so much so that you are here claiming that it has been on the radar of "most conservatives for well over a decade."

What a load of horseshit. You guys seemed to have more respect for yourselves when you were stamping your feet over Mister Potato Head.

So perfect

It's perfect that that picture can be such a brutal comment about the gullibility of Fox viewers simply by stating exactly what Fox News is doing.

Only cowards could be scared of headlines like those.

It’s taught in elemental and high schools. At least for now; parents are beginning to yell “What the hell is this shit?"

So typical of the moonbats.

Even when given direct evidence that you're wrong you insist on being right. So be it. It's your world, baby, I just live here.

"Mentioned once by Glenn Beck and then quickly walked back" isn't exactly the strong argument.

It has clearly taken hold recently as the right's latest boogeyman. The sheer volume of energy right wingers are putting into this right now proves YOU wrong. How many state legislatures took up this issue in 2009?

And there it is. Yet another example of #2 in my sig.

"2. Everything that righties accuse others of doing, they do or enable themselves. Every single thing."

 

[Phys251]

OK but with 70 Million people who voted for Trump, I bet there is at least one, and that defeats your claim. Do you think the people who voted for Biden are as equally divisive?

Turtle is desperate to find an exception to what he knows deep down to be true.

 

[Phys251]

I think it's possible for someone to denounce Trumpism and embrace the idea of bringing people together. But I don't see how it is possible to be a Trump supporter and an advocate for peaceful coexistence at the same time.

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

The alternative are "kitchen table issues" but the RWE donor class is paying for the opposite, further tax reduction, and tax enforcement and regulatory reduction, so... White Identity Politics, it will continue to be. - antiWIP

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/06/18/why-conservatives-keep-creating-imaginary-enemies-fight/

Opinion by Paul Waldman Columnist
June 18, 2021 at 1:29 p.m. EDT

"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.





“We will eventually turn it toxic,” wrote the conservative think-tank fellow who played an important role in birthing this effort. “The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’” Turning outrage into action, a wave of bills have been filed in state legislatures that either explicitly or implicitly ban the discussion of critical race theory in schools. Among states where such bills have recently passed are Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Idaho and Iowa. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) promised to “make sure there’s not a single school board member who supports critical race theory....”

Critical Legal Theory is taught in law schools. I attended law school late 80s when Critical Legal Studies transformed into Critical Race theory for all of academia.

In the educational field specifically, CRT was adopted as a framework that emphasizes the centrality of race, racism, and White supremacy in describing educational structures and social practice (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995; Yosso, 2005).
