Being Critical of Race Theory

I’m going to sum up Critical Race Theory in three words: It’s whitey’s fault.  That’s it.  That’s all you need to know.  If you can remember that, then you’ll have mastered the entire concept behind Critical Race Theory (CRT).

It’s pretty simple really, everything else you hear about CRT are just mental gymnastics to create some strange illogic to make every problem everywhere appear like it’s whitey’s fault.

Here’s an example:

“So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does not require a white person to perpetuate it.”

That remark came from a paper authored by Jennifer Ho, a Professor of Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder. 

You can see from her title that she’s very interested in CRT.  So much so that she’s made it her job to study it.  She’s quite likely one of the world’s foremost experts on CRT.  So her words have weight, at least in the CRT community.

Keep that in mind as you read the rest of this.  There are people, like Ms. Ho, whose job it is to teach other people to believe this shit.

I’ve heard a lot of absurd things in my life, but few are more absurd than CRT.  The idea that white supremacy is to blame for everything bad action by everybody is ridiculous. 

But what, exactly, is white supremacy?  Luckily for us, she shared her definition:

“White supremacy is an ideology, a pattern of values and beliefs that are ingrained in nearly every system and institution in the U.S. It is a belief that to be white is to be human and invested with inalienable universal rights and that to be not-white means you are less than human – a disposable object for others to abuse and misuse.”

Yeah, I had to read it a couple of times too.  I almost said I had to read it a couple of times before it made sense.  But I could read that quote from now until hell freezes over, and it still won’t make any sense.

But, let’s for the sake of argument say that black people believe they’re inferior to white people.  Could the reason be because that’s what they’re constantly being told?  I mean, what other message could you be sending by saying that black people are too stupid to get an ID and that they can’t think for themselves?  Come on man!

Critical Race Theory is race-baiting, plain and simple.  Its proponents want everyone to believe that whitey is to blame for everything bad that anyone has ever done or experienced.  It gives bad actors of any color a built-in excuse for their bad behavior.  CRT mistakenly assumes there are only two types of people in America, white and everything else.

In recent months, we’ve seen a drastic increase in the number of crimes against Americans of Asian descent.  The media doesn’t like to talk about this, but a good many of the crimes have been committed by black people. 

According to Ms. Ho (I’ll continue to leave the joke unsaid), if a black person attacks a yellow person, it’s because the black person thinks that white people are superior.  See what I mean?  That makes no sense at all.

What makes more sense is that the black person is attacking the yellow person because the black person thinks he’s superior to the yellow person.
