Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.

To explain critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. ...

Its supporters deploy a series of euphemisms to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.” Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality. But the distinction is vast and important. Indeed, critical race theorists explicitly reject equality...

UCLA law professor and critical race theorist Cheryl Harris has proposed suspending private property rights, seizing land and wealth, and redistributing them along racial lines. Critical race guru Ibram X. Kendi, who directs the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, has proposed the creation of a federal Department of Antiracism. This department would be independent of (i.e., unaccountable to) the elected branches of government, and would have the power to nullify, veto, or abolish any law at any level of government and curtail the speech of political leaders and others deemed insufficiently “antiracist.”

One practical result of the creation of such a department would be the overthrow of capitalism, since, according to Kendi, “In order to truly be antiracist, you also have to truly be anti-capitalist.” In other words, identity is the means; Marxism is the end.

An equity-based form of government would mean the end not only of private property but also of individual rights, equality under the law, federalism, and freedom of speech. These would be replaced by race-based redistribution of wealth, group-based rights, active discrimination, and omnipotent bureaucratic authority. Historically, the accusation of “anti-Americanism” has been overused. But in this case, it’s not a matter of interpretation: critical race theory prescribes a revolutionary program that would overturn the principles of the Declaration and destroy the remaining structure of the Constitution. ...

In Cupertino, California, an elementary school forced first-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” ...

There are three parts to a successful strategy to defeat the forces of critical race theory: governmental action, grassroots mobilization, and an appeal to principle. ...

We already see examples of governmental action. Last year, one of my reports led President Trump to issue an executive order banning critical race theory–based training programs in the federal government. President Biden rescinded this order on his first day in office...

I have organized a coalition of attorneys to file lawsuits against schools and government agencies that impose critical race theory–based programs on grounds of the First Amendment (which protects citizens from compelled speech), the Fourteenth Amendment (which provides equal protection under the law), and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which prohibits public institutions from discriminating on the basis of race). ...

On the grassroots level, a multiracial and bipartisan coalition is emerging to fight critical race theory. Parents are mobilizing against racially divisive curricula in public schools and employees are increasingly speaking out against Orwellian reeducation in the workplace. When they see what is happening, Americans are naturally outraged that critical race theory promotes three ideas—race essentialism, collective guilt, and neo-segregation—that violate the basic principles of equality and justice. Anecdotally, many Chinese-Americans have told me that, having survived the Cultural Revolution in their former country, they refuse to let the same thing happen here. ...

In terms of principles, we need to employ our own moral language rather than allow ourselves to be confined by the categories of critical race theory. For example, we often find ourselves debating “diversity.” Diversity as most of us understand it is generally good, all things being equal, but it is of secondary value. We should be talking about and aiming at excellence, a common standard that challenges people of all backgrounds to achieve their potential. On the scale of desirable ends, excellence beats diversity every time. ...

Similarly, in addition to pointing out the dishonesty of the historical narrative on which critical race theory is predicated, we must promote the true story of America—a story that is honest about injustices in American history, but that places them in the context of our nation’s high ideals and the progress we have made toward realizing them. Genuine American history is rich with stories of achievements and sacrifices that will move the hearts of Americans, in stark contrast to the grim and pessimistic narrative pressed by critical race theorists.

Above all, we must have courage, the fundamental virtue required in our time: courage to stand and speak the truth, courage to withstand epithets, courage to face the mob, and courage to shrug off the scorn of elites. When enough of us overcome the fear that currently prevents so many from speaking out, the hold of critical race theory will begin to slip. And courage begets courage. It’s easy to stop a lone dissenter; it’s much harder to stop 10, 20, 100, 1,000, 1 million, or more who stand up together for the principles of America. Truth and justice are on our side. If we can muster the courage, we will win.

Boycott Chicago until the Mayor apologizes.

Have the state legislature ban the collection of all racial information, except where required by federal law, and put it in a lockbox when it is collected, so nobody can see it except specific individuals charged with filing it, and make revealing of that information a felony on privacy grounds.
82   Patrick   2021 May 22, 5:33pm  

I think we could improve on that by adopting the French model: the government may never under any circumstance collect racial information.

Everyone is simply a citizen with the same rights as anyone else. The government should have zero interest in what race we are.

Medical professionals may need that info though, because race is an objective medical fact, not socially constructed. This has important implications for treatment.

Ignoring lgbt crap just got them to run cancel culture on everyone. People didn’t speak up for 4 years, and now leftist nazis running around cancelling people for wrong think.


Yeah, this nonsense has been going on for years, since the '60's when the left infiltrated our University college system and since then the CIA has up'd its' game on mind programming students to be dumb failures and worthless zeros so they can be low paid factory workers. The establishment bureaucracy/corporations are not going to be satisfied until nonunion workers are earning what they get in China. That's what they mean by "one world government," and "A new world order," George Bush, another globalist who sold out the middle class and George Bush 2 put America well on the way to losing all our precious civil liberties.

The Republicans, Mitch McConnel, Ted Cruz, Mitt Romey, John (may his soul rest in hell) McCain all Republican globalists who stabbed Trump in the back the first chance they got, are just as bad as Pelosi, Schummer, AOC, and the squad, as well as most Dems, with the possible exception of Tulsi Gabbart. The globalists have all been working hand in hand with the deep state to dumb the population down, and if the dummies fall for critical race theory, then they are too dumb for words. I doubt this will work in the long run. People don't like to think of themselves as a racist. This is the kind of thing that will drive white classical liberals right out of the party. Just keep heaping it on Dems... give them enough rope...

True, that will drive out the remaining grown-up male classic liberals that have not already moved toward Trump. However, the females and adolescent attitude male libs will still be clinging to what gives them meaning - "atonement" and "virtue signaling." If you know everything you have came from dad or hubby, then you can admit your guilt and disparage those that do not. Beats giving away you inheritance, or putting in the effort to actually become productive.

DeSantis to Critics of CRT Ban: Florida Students Will Learn ‘Historical Fact,’ Not ‘Non-Empirical Ideology’

https://babylonbee.com/news/local-christian-parents-pay-university-100000-to-totally-destroy-18-years-of-their-hard-work

BOSTON, MA—According to sources, local parents Dale and Cherie Woodall are shelling out over $100,000 to send their son Dillan to college and utterly destroy every good thing they have tried to teach him for the last 18 years.

"What these parents don't know," said one expert, "is that pretty much all kids who go to college end up more dumb when they graduate than they were when they went in. We're honestly surprised people are still paying for this stuff!"

Studies show that most universities ceased being places of higher learning many decades ago, and are instead Marxist indoctrination centers designed to turn students into mindless activists for radical social revolution.

At college, Dillan's faith will be assaulted on a daily basis, and every value he's been taught will be deconstructed until there's nothing left. When he graduates, he will be a lost, miserable soul who won't be able to get a job and will wander aimlessly through life for 10 years until he rediscovers God again and finds the meaning and purpose he long left behind.

$100K well spent!


One way to fight super-racist CRT: don't pay tuition to universities that teach hate.

I've been reading "Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche, and while it's pretty hard to comprehend, it has some points which seem to apply to the present problem of wokeness.

In section 201:


Finally, when conditions are very peaceful, all opportunity and necessity for cultivating one's feelings for rigor and hardness disappear; now any rigor, even in the operations of justice, begins to disturb men's conscience. Any superior and rigorous distinction and self-responsibility is felt to be almost insulting; it awakens mistrust; the "lambs" and even more the "sheep" gain respect. There is a point of pathological hollowness and over-indulgence in the history of social groups where they even side with those who harm them, with their criminals -- and they feel this way seriously and honestly. Punishment seems somehow unfair...


This reminds me a lot of the weakening of America under our long peace, and the eventual siding with criminals like George Floyd who harm people.

‘Critical Race Theory Is the New Racism,’ Says Texas Public Policy Foundation Scholar
BY TOM OZIMEK May 28, 2021

...Thomas Lindsay, a distinguished senior fellow of higher education and constitutional studies at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, said that there are CRT-inspired programs “being instituted down to the third grade, where they’re telling third-grade children that because of the color of their skin, they are oppressors, meaning that because of the color of their skin, they’re bad.”

“That used to be called racism,” he said. “And unfortunately, critical race theory is the new racism.”

CRT—which espouses the idea that race is not natural, but socially constructed to oppress and exploit minorities—is an offshoot of the quasi-Marxist critical theory social philosophy that was promoted by the Frankfurt school of thought.

Then-President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning CRT training in federal agencies in September 2020, with the White House describing it as “anti-American propaganda.”

After taking office, Biden reversed Trump’s September 2020 executive order and has pushed CRT training on a number of fronts.

Proponents of Critical Race Theory have argued that it’s needed to demonstrate what they say is “pervasive systemic racism” and to facilitate rooting it out.

The Biden administration’s efforts have triggered widespread pushback from federal and state Republican lawmakers, conservatives, and related organizations, as well as parents.

“Parents are incredibly upset that their children are being told that if they’re white, they are by definition oppressors, and if they’re black, they’re by definition oppressed,” Lindsay said in the interview.

He also praised House Bill 3979, which passed the state Senate on May 22 but, as of Thursday, had not yet been finalized as some amendments continue to be scrutinized. While the bill doesn’t mention CRT by name, it apparently aims to ban the quasi-Marxist ideology in public and open-enrollment charter schools.

According to the bill text, teachers, administrators, and employees from state agencies, school districts, and open-enrollment charter schools are prohibited from teaching students that one race is inherently superior to another race or sex or that an individual is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive by virtue of his or her race or sex.

Lindsay said the bill “prevents any teaching of students and any teacher training that uses racial scapegoating or racial stereotyping or sexual scapegoating or sexual stereotyping.”

He added that the measure also does several things “on the positive side,” namely requiring all Texas students to study the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Federalist Paper essays 10 and 15, excerpts from Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” and the first Lincoln-Douglas debate.

“That’s going to give them that information about our founding principles that they’re going to need to understand current events,” Lindsay said.

He said the Texas bill came in response to the Biden administration’s April proposal to fund history and civics programs that promote Critical Race Theory or related curricula.

This is the heart of the CRT movement's cultural strategy – deceive society into embracing a fundamentally dishonest premise about human dignity, and build a prejudiced, neo-racist kingdom from there.

Rufo demonstrated how to defeat it, and we'd all be wise to learn.

Does anyone think it might be somewhat effective if a trend of "mirror comments" started to take place, where whenever we see a black make an anti white racist statement, we make the same statement right back to them, but flip the words black w/ white?

It would highlight the fact that extreme racial double standards exist in both whats social acceptable, as well as social media banning / enforcement.

Liberal Jews promoted hatred of white people, because most liberal Jews still blame all white people for the Holocaust. All white people. Not just Germans. Not just Nazis in particular.


Yep, Jewish Currents is the newest form of Morgen Freiheit, which backed the Hebron Massacre (b-b-but, Jews were fine under Arabs) and of course the Molotov-Ribbentropf Pact.

https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/america-s-elites-are-terrified-of-hillbillies/

At the core of this elitist fear of Hillbillies (aka Po White, Rednecks, or Trailer Park Trash) is the elite’s realization that these denizens of rural America enjoy an almost genetic immunity to today’s race-based, politically correct narrative. Yes, the Dukes of Hazzard County folk may not be the brightest bulbs in the chandelier or especially well-informed politically, but when they hear mendacious anti-American lies, they may as well be rocket scientists. They admire America for what it is, not according to some bizarre ideology cooked up in a faculty lounge. Unlike timid elected officials, these people are not afraid of expressing “offensive’ views.

Imagine, for example, if some well-paid “race educator” showed up at Audie Murphy High School in bucolic West Virginia to instruct students on their toxic white privilege. He would be, of course, expensively dressed and paid $5,000 for his efforts. He’d inform youngsters that slaves built America, that black crime is entirely due to systemic white racism, that payment of reparations is a moral obligation, and all the rest of the critical race theory (CRT) religion. Keep in mind that most of these “privileged whites” in this area of West Virgina are dirt poor, have family who have died of drug overdoses, suffer from chronic alcoholism, and face long-term unemployment.

He would not receive a warm welcome. His audience would consist of patriotic Americans who refuse to accept the blame foisted on them by CRT. And, unlike over-socialized Ivy League students, they would express their “hateful” views face-to-face. No doubt, the “educator” would report back that he has uncovered rampant white supremacy, a bastion of the KKK, and all the rest that terrifies the liberal elite. A more accurate assessment is, of course, that our race hustler has uncovered a nest of unbelievers happy to speak the unspeakable truth.

Hillbillies refuse to be placated by the elite’s permission to run wild and grab free stuff. No member of the White Trash Community will have their political grievances satisfied by looting Farm and Fleet or upsetting tables at a Cracker Barrel.

The Hillbilly Community is not easily bought off with elite-supplied goodies such as overpaid jobs as professors of Appalachian Studies or campus directors of outreach dedicated to targeting underserved rural populations. Nor are they willing to sacrifice personal freedom (and self-respect) to qualify as affirmative action hires. Chuck Yaeger would never have enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces if they lowered standards to fill diversity quotas.

Participants in the Jan. 6 event are dangerous because they are unbelievers. They cannot be bribed into drinking the fake, racial grievance Kool-Aid at a time when being a “good citizen” means embracing falsehoods, it is this honesty that truly does make them dangerous.

This young black girl speaks logically about why she hates CRT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeHqZT-NsxE

Unsurprisingly, she said she's south african, and moved here to LA 8 years ago, so the toxic black american culture has not destroyed her. Another of many cases I've seen where black immigrants behave totally differently than American blacks, running circles around them and oddly succeeding in the "oppressive systemically raycist american society".
