What Is Critical Race Theory, and Why Is It Under Attack?

Here's what you need to understand about the academic concept—and how it's portrayed in political circles.
www.edweek.org www.edweek.org

"The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.

A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants. Banks subsequently refused to offer mortgages to Black people in those areas.




Today, those same patterns of discrimination live on through facially race-blind policies, like single-family zoning that prevents the building of affordable housing in advantaged, majority-white neighborhoods and, thus, stymies racial desegregation efforts."
 
utsherman has no idea, either. He doesn't know what critical theory is or how critical race theory is just critical theory with a focus on race.

It's time, I think, for a little "good trouble".....from Lucian K. Truscott, a 6th generation descendant of the third President of the United States, one Thomas Jefferson.....
You can't rewrite history that is staring you in the face
The folly of the right's obsession with the 1619 Project
Lucian K. Truscott IV
You are looking at a photograph of me and my cousin Shannon Lanier. It’s a photograph that illustrates why the 1619 Project is such a white supremacist’s nightmare, teaching that racism and slavery played a major role in the founding of this nation. It’s a photograph of the truth exposed, at least in part, by critical race theory, an academic discipline that teaches the same thing. It is not only a photograph, it is a fact. It is history staring you in the face, history in flesh and blood, history that cannot be rewritten, cannot be buried, cannot be denied, because we are alive to tell it.
That’s Thomas Jefferson’s grave we’re standing on. We are 6th great grandsons of Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third president long idolized as a founding father of the United States. Shannon is descended from Jefferson’s 36 year relationship – if relations between an enslaved person and a slave owner can be called that – with Sally Hemings, who is his 6th great grandmother. I am descended from Jefferson’s relationship with his wife Martha, who is my 6th great grandmother. Shannon’s great grandmother was enslaved by my 6th great grandfather. We are tied together not only by blood but by the stain of slavery on our family and our country. We are cousins, and we are also blood brothers. We carry in our souls the legacy of the slavery that brought our great grandparents together. We are descendants of slavery. It lives within us.

Who sold your 7th great grandmother into Slavery ???????????

LOL! Blacks and other minorities, who earn enough money, actually live in any neighborhood they please. So I know how everything begins and ends with race, with you, but you are oddly wrong again. You see this isn't racial discrimination, it would be financial discrimination.

Is this actually true? Is it as straightforward as the author presents it?

In the 1930s, most people were considered poor financial risks because of the Great Depression. This seems like another example of rewriting history to tell a narrative that didn't really exist.
 
He’s referring to red-lining. It’s a common Neo-Marxist narrative trope. They inflate something that happened in a few places around the country into something that happened everywhere all the time. It doesn’t matter if it was 100 years ago, the tangential argument is that blacks are poor today because of it. Thus we should address it in policy today because whites are irredeemably racist and everything they have is due to their racism - it doesn’t matter if the people who did it are long dead, whites should collectively hold the guilt.

It’s third rate thinking that is taken way way too seriously

Sad thing is it's working. When you have a proffessor at a major University preaching she hates her whiteness it really has become a sickness and a serious problem. I have a brother who is a college professor and he recently was trying to tell one of my other brother's he had white privilege. It's insane how the universities are brainwashing people.

Red-lining actually continued well into the 1960's

Way to go Florida! Ohio should follow this lead. Would we allow Neo-Nazis to teach white supremacy in our schools? If the answer is no then the same applies to teaching CRT:

Banks are interested in one thing > earnings. If they can make money from a customer it does not matter what color the customer is. We just went through a financial debacle in '08-'10 because liberals forced banks to lend money to non-creditworthy individuals; it was a disaster waiting to happen ...............and it happened. It's not about race; it is about manageable debt loads and being personally responsible for your debts.

The sooner the left stops trying to divide us (again), the better off our world will be. We have about enough.

It's the same thing that's done with abortion where rape, incest, danger to the life of the mother are meant to represent all cases of abortion when it's an inconsequential minority of cases. Most cases are done out of social of financial convenience, which goes back to lack of personal responsibility and accountability, which have no place in a Neo-Marxist world. They do it for two reasons.

1. The majority of people (the sheep) subscribing to the view point are just ignorant or dumb enough to believe it's actually true.
2. The true believers who know this, but can't come out and say it because they couldn't reel in the #1s, so they give some false narrative that allows the #1s to blame someone or something else for their misfortune and shirk the personal responsibility and accountability.

If people aren't responsible or accountable for themselves, then the government gets to step in to do it form them.

Yeah, using redlining as an explanation or definition of CRT is like saying rape is about sex. I mean, yes, but not quite.

CRT is racist and pure neo-Marxist evil. Period.

The Messiah, Barak Hussein Obama, addressed this in an interview this week and I found it amusing and instructive. He was the president who first introduced this garbage into our politics and consciousness. Because it is being strongly resisted and debunked by a broad coalition of folks, his response tactic was mockery. Basically, "We have all of these problems and the Republicans number one issue is critical race theory. Who knew?"

Its classic gaslighting. He introduces the poison into America, and when people identify it as poison, he asks, "Why are you so concerned about this? Its weird."

Uh, Barak, it's because it will destroy a country that we love.

Notice the sophistry. Something he worked very hard to introduce into our culture is now something so insignificant, he alleges, that anyone spending time opposing it is neglecting more pertinent issues.

But we see you, Barak Hussein.

They always do that s**t. Whether it’s defunding the police, racism, socialism, the far left love changing definitions of extreme ideologies to make them seem less threatening.

think a fatal flaw in the implementation of CRT is the racial integration of families.

Heck, my family consists of the whitest people on earth, but I have some cousins with biracial kids, there are Asian, black, and Hispanic kids via adoption. My daughter just married a half-Filipino. My grandchildren will be brown-skinned to some degree. And that doesnt matter to us or anyone we know. Only the leftist nuts pushing CRT think it matters.

The point is that the racial integration of families makes CRT a hard sell because it tells, for example, my grandchildren with more melanin in their skin that their grandparents and mother are their oppressors that have victimized them - but they will only experience love and support.

IOW, CRT is a lie from the pit of hell, and people with integrated families know it is.

If the true goal of CRT is to create empathy, you don’t do that by demonizing people for things they haven’t done. As a Democrat, do you feel guilt over your party being the one to form the KKK, and impose segregation? I doubt it. And we can still have empathy for people suffering under those conditions without pretending Democrats’s behavior from over 100 yrs ago is relevant to Democrats today.

In the absence of real racism folks continue to create fake racism. Note how often this is done by college students. They've been brought up on a CRT diet of white racism is everywhere BS and when they don't actually see it they invent it.
