What is Critical Race Theory?

[One Brow]

The answer to the question at the top of this thread is that modern critical race theory is a construct to extract money from those insecure about racism.

There is always more money in reinforcing social oppression than opposing it. If proponents of CRT were really in it for the money, they'd go the route of Thomas Sowell and Candace Owens.

It isn't a solution.

Correct. It's an analysis of the deeply embedded problems. Analyses and solutions are fundamentally different.

It is actually the opposite and dwells endlessly on events of the past to reinforce the racist mindset today.

You are all the evidence needed that an unwillingness to examine race critically reinforces the racist mindsets.

LOL. Thomas Sowell and Candace Owens make nothing compared to the heads of BLM. As for who is reinforcing what, that is a point I think you have backwards. Do you think cosmetics companies and fashion houses are truly combating body insecurities by positioning themselves as the ones who are working to make girls pretty?

I accept that you are profoundly ignorant.

Your thinking here is at your usual standards.

I think they reinforce body insecurities by their advertising. Similarly, I accept that you would never notice racism if it was not being pointed out to you. You seem to think that speaks highly of you.

Exactly! Cosmetics companies, fashion houses, and race hustlers employed in the CRT/DEI industry are reinforcing the insecurities that get them paid even as they claim to be doing the opposite. All use a Utopian vision which in reality only serves to increase insecurities in their customer base. CRT is made by racists for racists. Racists are their customer base.

... race hustlers employed in the Heritage Foundation and Daily Caller are reinforcing the insecurities that get them paid even as they claim to be doing the opposite.

FIFY.

All use a Utopian vision which in reality only serves to increase insecurities in their customer base.

There's nothing utopian coming out of CRT.

The Heritage Foundation and Daily Caller is made by racists for racists. Racists are their customer base.

FIFY.

The projection is strong with this one.

The only thing on the list that bugs me is cultural appropriation. That's such a load of crap. Without cultural appropriation throughout human history there would be no culture, like at all. So much for us being a melting pot.

I think there is a sort of middle ground but I have absolutely seen things called cultural appropriation that I don't think is. I also see things pointed out that I may not have recognized that I would call cultural appropriation.

I'm gonna keep making tacos, Thai food, Italian food, whatever. I think food is a type of communication. I want a full exception made for food.

And music. And entertainment in general. And sports. I mean you trace nearly any human activity back far enough and you find someone else started it somewhere else in some form. If it's really a thing we're all guilty of it from time immemorial.

I think mockery is it's own thing. There is real appropriation but it isn't found in a taco.
