Being Critical of Critical Race Theory

“
Come on people now. Smile
on your Brother. Everybody get together. Try to love
one another.
Right now,” -
words from the old 1960's Youngblood's song, 'Let's Get Together'
Lately we've been bombarded with the
words Critical
Race Theory
(CRT). Those three words have taken over the political discourse, the
media, and have made dangerous inroads into all levels of our school
system...both public and private schools as well as colleges and
universities. Now teaching young impressionable minds that the actual
science behind what constitutes
“race” is
not “biologically
natural,” CRT
claims
instead that “race”
is
a "culturally invented, socially constructed entity" derived solely to
exploit and oppress people of color...especially those scientifically
classified as Negroid... folks more commonly referred to as black
people...and that it does so while serving the interests of white groups
and institutions who deliberately perpetrate the negative stereotypes
regarding people of color especially if it meets both their needs and wants.
And
those who adhere to this nonsense...you can google CRT's history and its partisan political beginnings...also believe that
both U.S. law and mainstream legal institutions...most especially our
appellate judicial system...are inherently racist with their sole
reason for being but to create and maintain social, economic, and
political inequalities between white and black Americans, with
so-called
“brown, yellow and red Americans” thrown in for
good or bad measure...depending of course upon one's personal point
of view and/or prejudices. And some take what is but a twisted and
diluted form of the Marxist-oriented
“critical theory”...a
theory where judicial decisions are mainly influenced by nonlegal
factors...as in political factors...instead of by set legal precedent
and reasoning...and take it even one step further by claiming that
being racist in America is a normal way of being amongst white people
and not the exception, but that it is also a quite common and
ordinary experience shared by most people of color, especially by
black people.
But the truth is that like most
liberal-speak,
Critical Race Theory
is but a pandering political dialogue manufactured primarily to make
excuses for the what is perceived by liberal sorts to be gaps in
income, wealth, education, employment, and social status between
white and black America, as well as to take blame off those who not
only make bad personal choices but who refuse to take any responsibility
for their own actions. Instead, CRT chooses to place blame on the
whole of what they call
“white social structures,” with
its adherents claiming it's overt across the board discrimination by
white folks against people of color no matter a given individuals
actions, words, or deeds to the contrary.
But nothing could be further from the
truth for, I believe, what Critical Race Theory really is trying to
do is propagate the idea that racism in America is not just an
in-you-face obvious for the TV cameras occurrence but that it is
stealthily “indirect, subtle, and systemic,” and
that the fault lies solely within the population of white America. I
also believe that the end game of CRT is not now nor has it ever been
to actually end racism but to keep the momentum of hate going by
manipulating black folks into becoming a faction driven by
veiled suppression that the “powers that be” can forever
control.
Now being used by the Democrats in an
effort to help divide our country even more than she already is,
Critical Race Theory downplays the need for black Americans to
understand that racism, whether it's self-perceived or it's real,
remains the stuff that fuels much needed political fodder. And like
everything else the Democrats do, CRT actually aids in the ideological
enslavement of black people, and does so as a means by which to
garner their votes. In fact, everything the Democrats do is about
votes for votes equals power and power equals control...neither of
which the Democrats intend to surrender.
Remember, it's power and control above
all else that is the Democrats “god,” if you will, and
what the Democrats want is for the talked down to masses to not only
believe but to accept as fact that racism will only go away via the
enacting of so-called “color-blind” laws, policies, and
practices...the very crux of Critical Race Theory. And when that is
coupled with the concept of “white guilt” only then, they
believe, can all races receive “equitable treatment” under
the law along with the overcoming
of individual racial biases.
And
Democrats want us to believe that racial healing must begin with the
securing of reparations...the supposed first baby step towards
“equitable treatment”... a
supposed key objective of Critical Race Theorists.
And while “equitable
treatment” should
mean that all folks, no matter their skin color, receive equal
opportunities to reach a specific objective or goal, the fact is that
under CRT certain “considerations”
must be in place to equalize the playing field for people of color.
And this basically means that no matter the fancy words being pushed
forward, “equitable treatment”
is not now nor will it ever be "equal treatment" under the law, not when
policies are enacted that allow specific “considerations”
for one group of people over another group of people.
Simply, CRT is
affirmative action on steroids.
Also
know that no law enacted nor policy or theory dictated can stop an
individual from hating if that is what one is so inclined to do. In
fact, mandating laws or teaching theories with no tangible substance
or truth actually allows for racism to gain momentum courtesy of
folks who, while never racists before, have now after witnessing
certain minority folks actions, words, and demands become so. And the
securing of reparations is but one example, for why should black
folks who were never slaves be given monies from white folks who were
never slave owners. And besides, reparations itself is racist in
nature as it singles out a specific group of people...black
people...for special “consideration,”
basically negating the concept of "equal treatment" for all...and isn't
equality what it's really all about...or is it?
And
it's these very freedoms that separates us from other
countries...freedoms that are ingrained in us throughout our
formative school years, thus it's here in America's schools where
Critical Race Theory is the most dangerous. Why...because in
brainwashing our youth into believing politically generated fiction
instead of well documented historical facts, generations of
independent thinkers are lost. And it starts with CRT's premise that
racism is indeed an integral part of everyone's everyday life...read
white folks here...and that even people who claim not to be racists
still can make "bad choices" that help to fuel racism on.
Such
nonsense indeed because except for a certain segment within the
minority of America's black minority population, the color of one's skin does
not dictate how one lives their lives nor does it become the excuse
given for failures in life. Simply, skin color is not the first thing
the vast majority of Americans, black Americans surely included, think of
upon awakening nor is it the last thing thought of before drifting
off to sleep, yet the color of one's skin alone is the driving force
behind the mindset of those who adhere to Critical Race Theory
thinking. And now sadly, due to political skulduggery, it's also
become the mindset of those who want to brainwash our children into
believing white skin is bad and black skin is good...white skin is
something to be ashamed of while black skin is something to be proud
of.
In
other words, Critical Race Theory itself is not only racist in its
very concept, but it actually helps to promote racism by making
"implied racism" a part of each and everyone's everyday life.
And
while some states have embraced this nonsense and passed legislation
allowing this what amounts to indoctrination to be taught in both public
and private schools, other states...predominantly red states...have
banned Critical Race Theory on the basis that it not only tries to
promote the idea that white people have had an advantage
at birth, but that it plants “the seeds of self-hatred in America's
children,” while pushing forward the left's ideology that “white
people are born as racist oppressors and that black people are born
as victims.”
In fact, I'll even go one step further and
say that Critical Race Theory not only pushes forward a politically
driven divisive and mentally harmful agenda...a hateful agenda especially
harmful to impressionable youth...but that CRT helps to breed a new
generation of racists in its teachings of “white
privilege.”...teachings which actually separates people based
upon race, the very antithesis of the long fought for idea of
inclusion.
But most important of all, Critical Race Theory tries to rewrite
America's history by the foretelling of a future that they alone will
determine and do so by only focusing on the bad while ignoring all of
American history's good. And by ignoring basic human nature and
societal norms, CTR willingly draws attention to the negative in order
to make said negative become the absolute truth forgetting that there
are always two sides to every story. One person's truth can be another
person's lie, yet the fact is that history alone remains static...it
cannot be changed for what was...was. Learn from history's mistakes
but don't try erase the past for to do so negates who we are today
and who we might become in the future.
Simply, black is black, white
is white, mix them together and you get all shades of gray... not such
a bad thing now is it.
