Critical Race Theory
Recently there are a lot of hoo hahs of very aggressive promotion and strong resistance re Critical Race Theory
What I noted is this CRT is not the typical "racist" thing but a more complicated ideology.
What are your views [for or against] on Critical Race Theory?

The term 'critical' in CRT [flawed] can be traced to Kant via Marx.

Re: Critical Race Theory
This is my take:
- Throughout the Developed (Western,First-World, etc.) world, racial injustice is a big problem.
- There are those who want to address the problem. Broadly speaking, these are on "the Left".
- There are those who want to sweep the problem under the carpet and keep things the way they are. Broadly, these are on "the Right".
- Many people are in the middle and have little idea of what the f*ck is going on here. These are mostly well meaning white people.
- CRT is a name for the combined attempts of sincere people to understand and address the problem.
- The Left see CRT as good and necessary.
- The Right insist that CRT is unnecessary and devisive.
- The people in the middle don't know who to believe, but are naturally attracted to the "Why can't we just all get along?" pablum in which the anti-CRT message is inevitably packaged.

Re: Critical Race Theory
It's a load of anti-science bollocks cooked up by 'academic' wankers with Aspergers syndrome who have nothing better to do than write incomprehensible garbage that makes them feel terribly important. Probably the same creatures who have come up with the disgusting racist and meaningless term 'white privilege' that morons are throwing around on social media in order to stir up division and resentment where there was previously none. The only people who EVER mention a person's 'colour' (or lack thereof) are rabid racists. It has NEVER come up in a conversation with ANYONE in my ENTIRE LIFE. Woke wankers are the rudest, most obnoxious people on the planet.

Re: Critical Race Theory
My view in a nutshell is that
(1) Only individuals can be racist
(1a) a parenthetical to the above is that individuals who are racist are far less common than many would have us currently believe
(2) Individuals who are racist can enact laws and private sphere policies that are anchored in their racism, and that others who aren't racist then follow, sometimes for many years, decades, etc. afterwards, often without realizing that there was something racist that motivated the law or policy
(3) The laws and policies in (2) are worth identifying, analyzing and reversing/abolishing as much as possible
(4) Aside from this, focusing on racism and "over-parsing" things as racist, as is a tendency at present, actually fuels further racism rather than quelling it.

The video of George Floyd's encounter with Derek Chauvin was the moment when one of the main reasons why we can't all "just get along" became clear to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear.

So, thank you.

Your Honest answer will, partly, EXPLAIN WHY 'you' have the views that 'you', OBVIOUSLY, have here.
By the way, 'what', EXACTLY, is; "a load of ..."?
And, furthermore, the way "mickthinks" wrote about this, "his" is the most clear cut and comprehensible view I have seen so far in regards to this.
So, the "incomprehensible garbage" can ACTUALLY be made 'comprehensible'.

Could this just be BECAUSE of the country, culture, and kind that you converse with?
And, do you REALLY BELIEVE 'the rest of the world' is JUST LIKE 'your own little world'?

If yes, then 'we' have VERY DIFFERENT VIEWS on what a 'racist' is, EXACTLY.
So, because 'you' focused on 'racism' here, 'you' have ACTUALLY fueled further 'racism' rather than quelling 'racism', correct?Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:19 am (2) Individuals who are racist can enact laws and private sphere policies that are anchored in their racism, and that others who aren't racist then follow, sometimes for many years, decades, etc. afterwards, often without realizing that there was something racist that motivated the law or policy

If no, then does that mean your (4) claim is not correct?
But if yes to the first question here, then does that make 'you' MORE of a 'racist', then you previously realized?

I talked about what "mickthinks" wrote. And, I said what I did, contrary to YOUR BELIEF, NOT because 'us' two are wankers, but because of the ACTUAL WORDS USED.
I suggest if you do NOT agree with, or do not like, some or all of those words, then just express which ones, AND THEN just explain WHY.

No question mark there you racist little prik. It's not even worded as a question. It's worded as a snarky assumption with creepy undertones.
You seem to have a big problem with the english language.

Re: Critical Race Theory
If you say and BELIEVE so, then 'it' IS SO.
As I was saying, we then OBVIOUSLY have a VERY DIFFERENT VIEW of what the words 'racist', and 'racism', mean and refer to.

LOL, the topic is asking us what we think about critical race theory.
You made a CLAIM, which, if you are Honest, you would HAVE TO CONTRADICT, or ADMIT is NOT CORRECT.
Being asked about what you just think about "critical race theory" does NOT mean that you HAD TO MAKE A CLAIM LIKE:
Aside from this, focusing on racism and "over-parsing" things as racist, as is a tendency at present, actually fuels further racism rather than quelling it.
You are OBVIOUSLY 'focusing on racism', at present. So, either YOUR CLAIM here is CORRECT or NOT CORRECT.
