We all learned about this (as well as the history of slavery, the Great Compromise, the civil war, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement in our history classes and has been weaved into our culture. Critical Race Theory is not history, and it is barely theory. It's ideology; and it’s radical, racist, deceitful and false ideology, to boot.
But to truly perceive CRT at its essence is to know that more than an ideology or weltanschauung, it is praxis. It prescribes a certain kind of activism; it presses its acolytes into service to be on a perpetual seek and destroy mission. It fashions its social justice warriors into heat-seeking missiles enflamed with a white-hot apoplexy and fueled by resentment and envy. Its aim is to problematize everything we’ve inherited from our civilization in order to undermine and sabotage it.
It begins with the premise that every white person is a racist or supremacist, an oppressor, and an enemy. It saddles them with the burden of all the sins of all our forefathers, and it affords no road to forgiveness and harmony, but rather only a hostile and treacherous road to surrender or worse.
But perhaps even more piercingly, CRT is—like the New Green Deal—merely one front being fought in the perpetual Marxian movement’s war on Western Civilization. Commies have been playing blacks for dupes since early in the twentieth century (read Ralph Ellison’s classic Invisible Man) and making them useful foot soldiers in movement that aims to abolish the American Way and demolish Western Civilization in order to build upon its ruins a new world according to a new egalitarian blueprint (not yet determined) that promises to run so perfectly that it won’t matter whether people are good or bad, lazy or ambitious, smart or stupid, capable or savage.
Critical Race Theory adds nothing to our great Melting Pot but a portion of poisonous resentment and a splash of subversive bile.
