Is this a Valid Definition of Critical Race Theory?

[Geoist]

that.... actually reinforces the point I was making....

Which reinforced my point.

One of CRT's claims is that white people don't get to criticize it because structural racism and blindness; it makes minority spokesmen more effective.

Ah, so conservatives supported identity politics all along.

Everyone, don't be fooled by the fact she's a psychologist and looks like a butch lesbian.

And you're worried about racism...

Critical Race Theory would more properly be called "The Grand Unified Theory of Cultural Failure".

Since the beginning of time man has looked for grand theories that explain everything. We all want that cosmic bumper sticker that perfectly explains everything we must know in this world. CRT has become that bumper sticker for the "woke".

The fundamental premise is "Your failure is not your fault but, rather, due to the systemic roadblocks intentionally put before you by white people". The fact that your presentation in ebonics at the board meeting was only a failure because you're black. The fact that everyone also disapproved of the cracker moron from accounting that spoke hillbilly and constantly dropped f-bombs is immaterial because everything is really about race. The racial chip on your shoulder is viewed negatively because society is pre-programmed by honkeys to hate you. The academic chip on the multi-degreed Walmart shelf stocker isn't part of the equation.

The other thing that CRT requires, and it's based on the first thing, is that society change to accommodate you. The idea that you should change to accommodate society is simply one of those racist constructs intended to keep you down. The only way we can overcome racism, according to CRT, is to destroy society as it is and rebuild it in ways that outcomes are guaranteed and not based on the inherent racism of white society. We call that "equity" and opposition to that concept is proof of racism.

Lotsa "losers" in the failed, white male dominated, crony capitalist "casino," systemic failure. White America reacted by 58 percent of
them voting for Trump a second time. If Trump and his white identity politics cult does not succeed in their anti-american effort to put an end to standing aside and letting voters vote and respecting the result of the vote, violence will slow but not stop the future, a governing coalition 40 percent white and 60 percent voters of color.

How difficult could it be to do worse than this?

No, that is not accurate.

Charles Murray Says Black People Have Lower IQs Than ...​

Always amusing when the guy who claims that a certain sect of Jews have the highest on average IQ, Orientals the next highest, whites the next highest and blacks the next highest, is a white supremacist. If we measure IQ by the results of IQ tests, hes stating a basic fact. Did you imagine some other method of measuring IQ that would prove him wrong? Or is it that anyone who speaks of such FACTS is a white supremacist.
Blacks are on average, taller, have longer arms and legs, higher bone density, more muscle mass and males have a higher testosterone levels. Am I a racist for speaking of such things?

 

[dixon01767]

Critical Theory came out of the Frankfurt School of communist/socialist ideology. It is designed to sow division and dissension in society, to isolate and create battling groups.

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

This is the problem I see. This is the problem I oppose.

Yep. One of my lefty college professors had us read "One Dimensional Man" by Marcuse. "nourish oppositional thought and behavior through promoting radical thinking and opposition". Facts are irrelevant to them if they hinder achievement of their goals. They dont want us to see all this racism they speak of because it exists, but instead to promote radical thinking and opposition to bring about their dreamed of collapse of capitalism.


Marcuse champions non-integrated forces of minorities, outsiders, and radical intelligentsia, attempting to nourish oppositional thought and behavior through promoting radical thinking and opposition. .....

The intelligentsia is a status class of educated people engaged in the complex mental labours that critique, guide, and lead in shaping the culture and politics of their society.

Modern industrial societies have furthermore created an "affluent society", which in increasing comfort have disguised the exploitative nature of the system, and have therefore strengthened means of domination and control. Modern "affluent society" therefore limits opportunities for political revolution against capitalism.....

I would disagree and recite the Great Moderate-the Late David Broder's comment from over 30 years ago where he noted the goal of the US Left went from transforming the USA into another USSR (after the fall of the wall) to seeking to balkanize the USA into warring ethnic special interest groups. crap like reparations, or affirmative action are both symptoms of that disease

I'm not familiar with Broder, but if his claim to fame is postulating that the left want to turn the US into another USSR, then he not only wasn't great, he was an idiot.

... timed out of my previous post....

She is well educated, in general. She has a PhD in psychology. Unfortunately, she wants us to respect her expertise on a matter that is much closer to sociology, political science, history or maybe even the law, not psychology. Hence, her "well educated" credentials really do not apply. There is no evidence that she actually understands the subject matter upon which she wants us to listen. In this particular matter, there is no evidence she has any expertise whatsoever. Her credentials are very much questionable.

There is also ZERO evidence that she "wants to bring us back together".... I think there is much more evidence she wants to whitewash the issue with obfuscation.

Why are we even listening to what she has to say?

You have a choice.
Don't listen.

Now back to our regular programming.

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.

??? No LMAO because its factually not.
Ive never seen a video completely own itself like this LMAO

good grief this spoon feed false narritve from tinfoil hat nutters is cracking me up

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Are there any public school districts that have actually adopted a "Critical Race Theory" course or curriculum?**
One might think that since this is such a white-hot burning issue, Trumpers would have compiled a list of those school systems already.

**This is the fourth time I have posted this question, never received an answer.

 

[trixare4kids]

And you're worried about racism...

If she was a leftist promoting CRT, he would have never made a disparaging remark about her looks.

If leftists didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all...

 

[AGENT J]

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.

its not all rights, just the extremists that are freaking out
Ive literally had righties ask me if THEY were missing something when they hear or read other righties freaking out over this and they don't get what the freak out is about LOL

I tell them its because they are NORMAL . . there's nothing to freak out over

It's as "grass roots" an "issue" as "vote fraud"... The best manipulation wealthiest RWE political donors can buy... Garbage in,
neutered IRS tax compliance performance, non-stop legislated tax reduction for the wealthiest, out. 50 U.S. senators, many from states the wealthiest would never consider visiting, let alone residing in, with a "red line" on the issue of any tax increases, whatsoever, as they promote regressive "use" and fuel tax increases instead of historically justified, renewed progressive taxation to fund vitally needed "old school" infrastructure rehab and protection!

Did you have a point you wanted to make? Did you want to dispute any claim? Or just whining about people speaking of such facts?

 

[Yakshi]

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.

Please tell me where I shamed her for her looks. Do you think saying someone looks like a butch lesbian is an insult?

Perhaps lesbians can answer if they find the term offensive.

I think she does a superb job of boiling down a lot of mumbo jumbo about CRT into a workable and understandable information. Particularly the contrast between CRT and MLK. The excerpt videos I’ve seen of a CRT training session reinforces her points completely.

 

[Bullseye]

I'm glad the video says whatever CA wants to hear, but I'd think that it'd make more sense to listen to a proponent of CRT.



But then....

I’ve done that several times, at least as much as I could take, and I guarantee it doesn’t doesn’t make more sense, at all. I kept going back because I was convinced I was missing something important; but I finally gave up.

 

[Bullseye]

If I recall, that woman is a psychologist who teaches workers to be more subservient to their corporate overlords.


Yup:

So, just like CRT trainers, eh? “be less white”?
