Does Critical Race Theory Make Sense, Or Is It Senseless?
Creative Destruction Media ^ | 12/5/2021 | Pete Blaber

Posted on 12/05/2021 5:40:39 PM PST by Beave Meister

Imagine a scenario where a college student walked into your office and proposed teaching youand your people a “theory” that he came up with about Witches? “Critical Witch Theory” he’d explain, has three central tenants: 1) Witchcraft and sorcery are central components of American life. 2) To end witchcraft we must segregate all people as either witches or non-witches. 3) Since all witches are inherently evil we should categorize all people based on whether they are evil or non-evil.” What do you think?

Albert Einstein taught us that a theory can never be proven, only disproven. A theory stands until proven false which is why the Theory of Relativity still stands today. What about ‘Critical Witch Theory”?

With Einstein’s words of wisdom top of mind most of us wouldn’t bother asking for examples that prove witchcraft and sorcery are central to American life, nor would we bother asking what kind of biologic criteria he will invent to categorize every human on the face of the earth as either evil or non-evil. Instead we’d go right to the foundational knowledge upon which the theory stands “Witch’s,” and explain that: no Witch DNA has ever been described, discovered, or identified; no empirical examples of “Witchcraft or Sorcery” have ever been witnessed, recorded, or validated, and although it’s been over 300 years since the Salem Witch Trials, they serve as a cautionary reminder of the way fear-driven false accusations can manipulate the way people think and act toward each other (Note: between 1692 and 1693, more than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft—”the Devil’s magic”—and 20 innocent people were executed[1]).

Of course it “makes sense”, that’s why it’s so powerful in such a short time.

Lots of things in history have “made sense”, without being true.

Americans are constantly confronted with the unresolved question, “Why are blacks the way they are?”

CRT provides an answer, and it actually has a subliminal appeal to whites, because CRT teaches that whites are in control, IN THE SENSE THAT blacks are the way they are because of something whites do, or something whites don’t do.

This gives whites a way to improve the situation, by doing something they currently don’t to change blacks, or stop doing whatever it is they do now that makes blacks the way they are.

The alternative - that blacks are the way they are because that’s how they are made, creates hopelessness in American whites since the post-1964 arrangements are unsatisfactory and there’s not a damn thing whitey can do about it.

Extremely weak comparison.

Critical race theory is not documented in the Bible.

Witchcraft is.

And the likes of Michael Aquino, Anton LaVey and Marina Abramovich provide empirical evidence of witchcraft.

As does Carl Jung.

What about Critical Vaxx Theory? Same thing. Group A needs to be culled from the main group because Group B believes them to be toxic or have brought some kind of perceived harm to Group B, no matter what the facts are. Both Group A and Group B can catch the virus, both can transmit the virus, both can die from the virus. But Group A must be shunned by society because THEY have brought ill upon us all. blah blah blah

CRT is really an attempt to explain why minorities as a group, principally blacks, do not excel economically in the society of American opportunity. Economic failure results in a host of other societal ills, such as criminal activity. CRT believes that all racial groups are equally capable on an even playing field and should perform equally to whites. They equate an uneven playing field to “white privilege”.

Upon examining the premise of equality of capability and the societal construct of the playing field, there are two possible conclusions, either the premise of equality of capability is false, or indeed the economic playing field is biased in favor of whites.

The elephant in the room says that much has been studied regarding the lesser innate intelligence of American blacks. The “Bell Curve” and other studied around the world have come to this conclusion. It does not mean the black Americans are less human or less valuable in the eyes of God. So I pose that the premise of equality of capability is false. Why should this not be possible? White men can’t jump.

The minority standing on the sideline only see the outcome of the creativity, dedication and hard work of those that choose to compete. He assumes that all those people have succeeded with capabilities similar to his. This is an error. But his conclusion is that the playing field must be tipped in favor of the whites. What to do?

The best revenge for minorities against White Privilege is to compete and succeed. If you believe that the "playing field" is not level then you have two choices, compete anyway and work even harder to succeed, or go find another playing field.

The other playing field would be to succeed within your own minority community. Black owned businesses in Black neighborhoods, buying from Black distributors and producers.

Minorities will never find a solution in expecting whites to tip the playing field in their direction. The two groups have a completely different view of the field of competition. I think that whites go about their lives competing on the field of life and don't even see the blacks on the sidelines. Blacks stand on the sidelines and have no idea how to get on the field. For some reason they think they need to ask permission of the whites to play?

Just step on the field and compete! Or don't. It’s up to you. But don't blame it on whites if you can't.

“CRT provides an answer”

CRT evolved from CT.

That was a very good read, but read it all in one go. If you’re on your phone and your screen turns off or you navigate away, a subscription pop-up appears when you navigate back to the page.

Super annoying.

No, you have this all wrong. Democrats decided to use a technique called IDENTITY POLITICS back when President Johnson proposed the WELFARE STATE as a means to maintain Democrat power. Since then, Democrat thinking has always been cast in a container of victimhood and victim groups who need government support and supervision.

So, as you said, the problem of this “not working” gets more acute each year as the supposed victims are not allowed out of their ghettos or to advance via systematic destruction of all of the precursors to success. (Family, Stability, Safety, Independence, Property Ownership) Anyone who read David Horowitz’s book “Radical Son” should remember what he had to say about “Women’s Liberation” which was very much a Marxist stalking horse that offered easy sexuality for guys and identity and freedom for women at the cost of their very lives. It was couched in terms much like Black Lives Matter that became logic traps that exist today.

Still Democrats have a huge problem selling their program, especially when you look at Democrat majority cities that are hell holes, every one. And, that problem is both, finding someone to blame and maintaining their hold on the intellectual communities that support these organizations. CRT is aimed squarely at the economic elites trying to misdirect their attention from the deep racism that is inherent in their assumptions that minorities NEED AID to survive and thus they feel compassion but also contempt for these same folks who are “damaged” somehow transgenerationally from SLAVERY but not from FATHERLESSNESS and CHAOTIC HOME LIVES and POOR SCHOOLS.

Blacks especially but other minority communities have serious problems that are baked in over 60 years now due to the Great Society and its intentional distruction of the powerful and resouceful families in both the Black and “Poor White Trash” communities. Beyond this, a poor understanding of the dynamics of personality underlies the generalizations that the ignorant apply to RACE but are instead implications of a different balance of strengths then what the “intellectual” class enjoys.

But, it has nothing to do with RACE and everything to do with family history, values and interpersonal support systems that GOVERNMENT is the most poorly equiped to salvage. However, churches who actually believe in God and make it their mission to save souls end up saving the whole person, their families and thier communities. No other answer will work, and the Govement isn’t a factor and shouldn’t be.

Americans are constantly confronted with the unresolved question, “Why are blacks the way they are?”

Most don't allow themselves to get to that question. Simply because we all know and like the small percentage who want to live among and live like us.

That is where the real issue is.

So, the conclusion is the, oh I dunno, let's be generous and go with the talented 10th idea, the 90% who aren't "like us" must somehow be the fault of something we did.

It's when you allow yourself out of that box of thinking that things become clear.
