I can't believe we haven't discussed this hot topic yet. I really hadn't read much about it until The Gov of Florida said that he would ensure that none of the Florida schools taught "Critical race theory".
The basic premise explains why only a white person can be racists and that all white people are racists because they are white.
I can't imagine anything more racist than CRT (Equal for sure but not more than). The entire premise of the theory is racists. And we had federal agencies teaching this as part of their D&I training. That is just crazy.
Defined by Britanica:
Critical race theory (CRT), the view that the law and legal institutions are inherently racist and that race itself, instead of being biologically grounded and natural, is a socially constructed concept that is used by white people to further their economic and political interests at the expense of people of colour. According to critical race theory (CRT), racial inequality emerges from the social, economic, and legal differences that white people create between “races” to maintain elite white interests in labour markets and politics, giving rise to poverty and criminality in many minority communities. The CRT movement officially organized itself in 1989, at the first annual Workshop on Critical Race Theory, though its intellectual origins go back much further, to the 1960s and ’70s.
