We have all heard about it unless you are living in a cave, which you probably still heard of it. Critical Race Theory is trying and making its way into schools, institutions of higher learning, corporations. So what is CRT (Critical Race Theory). Critical Race Theory (CRT), is defined by Encyclopedia Britannica as: intellectual movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.
Basically it is the theory that all white, caucasian etc are inherently racist even if they do not realize it. Many states are banning this BS because it is basically racism in another form against another race, whites. Republican controlled states are starting to ban this from being taught in schools in their respective states. Almost everyone has seen the slides that schools and corporations have been forcing people to sit through. It just blows my that people actually think this is a good idea and will help solve the racial divide in the United States. Here are some examples of how the be “Less White”:
- Be less oppressive
- Be less arrogant
- Be less certain
- Be less defensive
- Be less ignorant
- Be more humble
- Listen
- Believe…. (Believe what, I am not sure-Vic)
- Break with apathy
- Break with white solidarity
This kind of bullshit is the kind of thing that will create a even greater divide than there already is. Back in 2009 when President Obama took office I had hopes that he could do some good and start bringing people together. Mind you I did not vote for him but I did not hope for his utter failure either. Sadly he created an even bigger divide in my opinion. Nowadays it seems everything is racist. This burden really falls on the Law Enforcement Officers around the country. They are expected to make split second decisions and even when they get it right they are still called racist for example, a black man actively shooting at them or someone else. If that officer shoots the suspect and if it completely justified by evidence from bodycam, witnesses, etc. they will still be called racist.
The worst part is that the lamestream media are complicit with all the hate and racism happening. They fuel the flames and get people so worked up next thing you know we have riots, businesses burning all in the name of getting those ratings. As I am sure you are aware the media makes enormous sums of money when this type thing happens. Let’s be honest, rioting, burning cities and businesses makes more money than a wholesome story about puppies enriching the lives or elderly people.
Do I have the answer to how to solve this racism problem in the country, certainly not however I am quite confident that this approach of CRT will not work and just fan the flames and create a deeper divide. All it does in my opinion is to remove racism from one group to another. I have feeling I am not the only one that feels this way.
