Critical Race Theory is currently getting a ton of attention on the national and international stage, which is long overdue, but there are also many misconceptions about it. Here are five questions that many people are asking about Critical Race Theory along with straight answers, explanations, and a raft of proofs from the Critical Race Theory literature itself. My hope is that people will be able to use these proofs to show people that Critical Race Theory is every bit as bad as its critics contend.
Since these proofs run rather long in some cases, here are the questions and answers as a summary:
1. Is Critical Race Theory racist? Yes.
2. Does Critical Race Theory advance the vision and activism of the Civil Rights Movement? No.
3. Does Critical Race Theory say all white people are racist? Yes.
4. Is Critical Race Theory Marxist? Yes and no.
5. Is Critical Race Theory an analytical tool for understanding race and racism? No, not really.
Question: Is Critical Race Theory racist? Answer: Yes.
Critical Race Theory begins by asserting the importance of social significance of racial categories, rejecting colorblindness, equality, and neutrality, and advocating for discrimination meant to “level the playing field.” These things lead it to reproduce and enact racism in practice. It also explicitly says that all white people are either racist or complicit in the system of racism (so, racist) by virtue of benefiting from privileges that they cannot renounce.

Question: Does Critical Race Theory advance the vision and activism of the Civil Rights Movement?
Answer: No.
Critical Race Theory refers to that vision as “traditional approaches to civil rights” and calls it into question. The Civil Rights Movement called for living up to the foundational promises of the United States (and other free nations) and incrementally changing the system so that those original ideals were met. Critical Race Theory rejects incrementalism in favor of revolution.
“Critical” as in criticize and find fault and place blame on what radicals want to tear down. Critical Race Theory is nothing but a tool. It is a wrecking ball to destroy Western Civilization.
CRT has infiltrated every level of American society. It will require a Herculean effort to root it out and destroy it at this point.
“advocating for discrimination meant to “level the playing field.”
The crab bucket mentality writ large. Don’t anybody do better than me; it’s racist!
The title of the article should have been : Five Big Fat Ugly Truths About Critical Race Theory
1) No, it is not “racist” because it is a weapon against white people. The concept oof racism was invented by communists as a means of attacking what was a white and Christian establishment. It has never been a set of neutral principles. That’s why DR3 is a terrible rhetorical strategy.
Nearly all of what is called “racism” that occurs in real life (as opposed to in something Hollywood produces) is normal human in-group/out-group behavior. The Left pathologizes normal behavior all the time.
2) Yes. Critical Race Theory is simply a continuation of the Civil Rights Movement. Martin Luther King was not a gun-totin’ Republican. He was a communist. He made a speech that made a huge generation feel better about themselves, allowing them to feel morally superior to their square parents. Jesse Jackson didn’t “lose his way” at some point, nor did John Lewis. The Civil Rights Movement was always about destroying the white and Christian establishment. Black people were merely a tool.
The people who opposed the Movement (which included William F. Buckley, Jr. and Senator Barry Goldwater) said that this forced integration would wreck the schools and cities. I guess history taught those racists a lesson. Lol.
