Ethnocidal 'Critical Race Theory' is upon us like white on rice
2020-09-12
[Mercer at WND] Critical Race Theory is the "remedial" lens through which America's race reality is refracted.

Look hard enough and the need for this subintelligent theoretical concoction becomes abundantly clear:

It's on the playground and in the classroom. Watch for the bossy white kids.

It's in businesses and boardrooms, where microaggressions tumble from the mouths of their white mothers and fathers.

It's in government departments, brought about by the few whites who haven't been weeded out by quotas and set-asides for "oppressed" minorities.

So WTF is it?

WIKI sez: Critical race theory (CRT)[1] is a theoretical framework in the social sciences that examines society and culture as they relate to categorizations of race, law, and power.[2][3] Developed out of postmodern philosophy, it is based on critical theory, a social philosophy that argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors. It began as a theoretical movement within American law schools in the mid- to late 1980s as a reworking of critical legal studies on race issues,[4][5] and is loosely unified by two common themes. Firstly, CRT proposes that white supremacy and racial power are maintained over time, and in particular, that the law may play a role in this process. Secondly, CRT work has investigated the possibility of transforming the relationship between law and racial power, as well as pursuing a project of achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination more broadly.[6]

By 2002, over 20 American law schools, and at least 3 law schools in other countries, offered critical race theory courses or classes which covered the issue centrally.[7] In addition to law, critical race theory is taught and innovated in the fields of education, political science, women's studies, ethnic studies, communication, sociology, and American studies.[8] Important scholars to the theory include Derrick Bell, Patricia Williams, Richard Delgado, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Camara Phyllis Jones, and Mari Matsuda.

Critics of CRT, including Richard Posner and Alex Kozinski, take issue with its foundations in postmodernism and reliance on moral relativism, social constructionism, and other tenets contrary to classical liberalism.

#4 Posner and Kozinski ought get wise. There is no amount of reason and rhetoric sufficient to thwart this crap, it is gibberish BY DESIGN. Thus you either accept it and seek it's advantages or make yourself crazy trying to unravel it.


Yes, it's the classic "Surely we can reason together" mentality of feckless intellectuals.

It's the price that "conservatism" has paid for farming out the "movement" to these scribblers.

#6  CRT is an offshoot of the overarching Critical Theory, which comes to us straight from Frankfurt School Socialism.

#3  I think the undescended testicles problem extends to more than just cougars and not just in California.
