What does Critical Race Theory teach?

Already have and the tiny percentage of the falsely accused has no effect upon that fact.

 

It was clear long ago that by your and Kendis definition, ANY racial disparity negatively effecting blacks is labeled racism. Even when it has nothing whatsoever to do with the color of their skin.

 

What nonsense. From the foreword of "Not my idea", a book about "whiteness" for grade school kids.

“White people have a very, very serious problem, and they should start thinking about what they can do about it . ."

"Racism is a white person's problem"

 

The more people learn about CRT, the less they like it.
The Existential Threat of CRT: State-Sponsored Racism

Ken Blackwell, Townhall

". . . As a native Ohioan and a former mayor of Cincinnati, it pains me to see how critical race theory is used to both reframe our history, our conversations and even alter the courses of action we must take to improve the lives of all of our children.

I denounce this educational fad, not as a Black man, but as an American.

Allow me to explain just one way in which critical race theory undermines — rather than upholds — educational aspirations in Ohio and in the United States.

Leading critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi declares that “Racial discrimination is the sole cause of racial disparities in this country and in the world at large.” That statement was written in his book, “Stamped From the Beginning,” and is also prevalent in the version of the book he put out for kids: “STAMPED: Racism, Anti-Racism and You.” That version also makes clear to our children that “Racist ideas, along with economic greed, are central to the formation of this nation, its laws, policies, and practices. Meritocracy and the American Dream narrative are rooted in whiteness.”. . . "

 

Historically capitalism + racism are interlinked, which is why I call them the conjoined twins + historians like me call them “racial capitalism” in the singular. But some self-described forms of “antiracism” are not anti-capitalist, which in my book means they’re not antiracism. Kendi

Basic neo marxist indoctrination intended to dismantle capitalism.

Progressive Craziness Of The Day: Critical Race Theory In K-12 Schools And Corporations
October 23, 2021/ Francis Menton

• 
  Yesterday I attended an in-person program at the Manhattan Institute with the title “Deconstructing Wokeness in K-12 and Corporate America.” There were two panels and a speech totaling close to three hours.
  
  
• Presenters included something of a who’s who of the movement opposing the spreading cancer of Critical Race Theory in schools and corporations: Christopher Rufo and Jim Copland of the Manhattan Institute, Vivek Ramaswamy (author of the new book Woke, Inc.), Paul Rossi (the guy who blew the whistle on CRT at Grace Church School, who is currently affiliated with the Educational Liberty Alliance), and Asra Nomani (Vice President of Parents Defending Education).
  
  
• Finally, after more than a year and a half in virtual purgatory, we have resumed in-person events to discuss issues of public policy.
  
  
• The huge difference between in-person and virtual events is that at in-person events you get to meet the people who take important roles in contesting these issues. In addition to the presenters, several other notable participants in recent events showed up at yesterday’s event, for example Andrew Gutmann (the parent who blew the whistle on CRT at the super-snooty all-girls Brearly School on Manhattan’s Upper East Side) and Maud Maron (mother of four kids in New York City public schools, who spoke out against CRT and for her trouble has been ostracized at her job defending indigent criminal defendants at the Legal Aid Society).
  
  
• But for today I’d like to highlight the work of Rufo.

You... you're not the only right-winger here struggling to understand the difference between what institutional racism is, and what just plain ol' racism is. But you are the only one who still struggles to get it even after it has been explained to you... no less than five times.

 

There's quite a difference. Racism is real. Institutional racism is imaginary.

 

Studies, analysis and reports on the OP beg to differ. Your unsubstantiated denial of reality not withstanding.

 

Sorry, but they don't.

 

I understand completely and made no mention of "institutional racism" in my post you chose to quote and respond to.

 

Are you paying attention at all? You were responding to a statement ABOUT institutional racism!! And you did it in a thread ABOUT institutional racism!!

It's nothing personal, dude. But you keep responding without even bothering to understand what you are responding to. It's ... just a waste of time. Please don't expect me to waste it any longer....

 

AND CRT ascribes blame to white people for institutional racism.

 

John McWhorter crushes "woke" theory.
‘Woke Racism’—A Review

". . . In his new book, Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America, John McWhorter demonstrates that there is far more Martin Luther than Martin Luther King in today’s anti-racist movement. McWhorter, a linguist and a professor at Columbia University, is a critic of luminous intelligence, and his book’s apparently oxymoronic title plays on Robin DiAngelo’s (equally oxymoronic) Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm. DiAngelo’s dubious contention is that white progressives are often more injurious to the cause of racial equity than skinheads or bedsheet bigots, because their racist transgressions are the result of well-meaning ignorance. McWhorter asks the corollary: can even those supposedly enlightened and self-appointed champions of anti-racism (whom he calls “the Elect”) think and act in ways that harm black America?

McWhorter identifies three waves of anti-racist activism in the United States, the first of which was the fight against slavery and legalized segregation. The second was the struggle against racist attitudes, which sought to instill the idea that racial prejudice was a moral defect. The current strain of anti-racist activism constitutes a “third wave,” and like any movement in an advanced stage, it is characteristically decadent. The Elect’s ideology, like so much contemporary social justice, is a grotesque contest of elite moral exhibitionism, inordinately preoccupied with policing speech and regulating behavior. It is fundamentally performative and, above all, pretentious, in both the etymological sense of the word (to pretend) and in its common usage (attempting to impress). . . . "

 

CRT and Performative Filth

Yale incident was weird.

The second-year law student, a member of both the Native American Law Students Association and the conservative Federalist Society, had invited classmates to an event cohosted by the two groups. "We will be christening our very own (soon to be) world-renowned NALSA Trap House … by throwing a Constitution Day Bash in collaboration with FedSoc," he wrote in a Sept. 15 email to the Native American listserv. In keeping with the theme, he said, the mixer would serve "American-themed snacks" like "Popeye’s chicken" and "apple pie."

And the black students freak out over the use of the term "Trap" house. ?????? As if somehow blacks own the word. Higher ed is putting out a crop of delicate as a friggin flower graduates.

 

Weird indeed.
The Contretemps at Yale - Steven Lubet, RealClearEducation

 

Well, they pretend to be "flowers", what the actually are, are bullies. "Cry-bullies" in this case, but bullies nonetheless and they need to be responded to like the abusive bullies they are. Haul their asses into court and try to get them in front of juries and defeat them at the ballot box. Don't yield an inch, it only inflames them, and their demands escalate.

 

Revealing that "basic-bitch-American themed snacks" isn't even noticed, but "Trap House" offends the blacks" AS IF a drug house could only be associated with blacks.

 

Condoleezza Rice, the first Black female secretary of state, who now heads Stanford University’s Hoover Institution — and who, by her account, attended segregated schools in the Deep South — was a guest last week on “The View.” When asked about the critical race theory debate, she said, “One of the worries that I have about the way that we’re talking about race” sometimes these days is that “somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past.” She added, “I don’t think that’s very productive.” Of course, as she and we know, there’s more to the critical race theory debate than that. But about the strain of educational philosophy that looks to raise students’ awareness of racial injustice, she said that for Black kids to be empowered, “I don’t have to make white kids feel bad for being white.”

Writing for The Grio, the longtime cultural critic Touré offered a piercing reply, calling Rice a “soldier for white supremacy” and saying that white people today, including children, “should cringe at what their ancestors did.” If school curriculums include the harshest aspects of America’s history, he argued, “I really don’t care if learning this makes white kids feel bad — and if it doesn’t, then they are too heartless.”

I know of no one, including myself, who feels personal guilt about the horrific abuses of slavery perpetrated by whites on blacks. But I recognize it as historical fact. And also recognize the lasting effects. Should whites "cringe at what their ancestors did?” How could we not? Should school age kids be kept from learning about the atrocities to spare their delicate feelings? No. But that is what Repubs in some states are trying to do.

 

Of course! What part of "racism" don't you understand?

 

I agree with you on this. Capitalism in the US has been and remains racist. It is among the most systemic of racist issues.

 

No, the blame is there. CRT just brings what's there to light. It defines, describes, and analyzes systemic racism so that it can be eradicated.

The Toll Critical Race Theory Takes On Our Children

Alveda King, Newsweek

". . . My uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., wouldn't recognize this regressive version of the civil rights movement. Nor would his life and leadership mean anything to today's critical race theorists. He preached a vision of the world which focused on character, not skin color. To today's critical race theorists, my uncle was hopelessly naïve. They reject the vision that the civil rights movement fought for, and they will not stop until our institutions are torn down and remade. . . ."

 

There is no systemic racism, unless one was to label these BLM and CRT Marxist enthusiasts as being the modern day version of what one would describe as those representing a systemic racism movement.
