It is both funny and tiresome when some shiny bit of jargon or a
sharp name is whipped out in a discussion like a zip-gun in a knife
fight. "You don't believe in social justice issues, huh? You must not
know about CRT (Critical Race Theory)!"
...yeahhhno...
I
am indeed woke enough to understand it, and am familiar with it's roots
all the way back to the hoary old fabricators like W.E.B. DuBois before
it got modern chrome. I also am woke enough to understand that just
because you put chrome on a cheap shank, it is still garbage.
CRT
and other social justice philosophy of it's ilk are still, at the end
of the day, just another form of postmodern relativism and Marxist
hallucination alloyed into a cheap substitute for rational thought. The
CRT problem is that: "structures, policies, practices, and norms
resulting in differential access to the goods, services, and
opportunities of society by race . . . It is structural, having been
absorbed into our institutions of custom, practice and law, so there
need not be an identifiable offender." This is a nonsensical idea,
divorced from facts or evidence, leaving all the oppressive power in
whomever can squeal victim loudest, with whatever fabricated narrative
they choose.
What flavor of "'splaining" by the advocate is it, when I already know about the theory and still disagree with it?
