Writer Discusses Why He Opposes Critical Race Theory | MSNBC
Thank god MSNBC actually had a counter perspective on for once!
someone with a functioning brain! WOWIE!
They do it often.
@@lookbovine lol!! You are so far down the rabbit hole. The bias on this channel and cnn is blatant. They are an arm of the democrat party. Like fox is of republicans, but they can admit. Fox actually does have some diverse perspectives. Ms and cnn do not

"Knowledge is no burden to carry.....Ignorance is a weight, you can't lift!"
And propaganda clothed in knowledge is Marxism.
I am curious, and I have asked others, does CRT included tokenized POC? Is there room for them in how they help in keeping up the systemic oppression?
@Scientific Methodologist
No life gramps?
Glad to see you at the daycare for the elderly again.
See you again tomorrow old man? 😉
@Scientific Methodologist Democrats in that context were the party of small government, while the Republicans were for a strong, central federal government. Interesting how you left that part out, surely just an oversight and not something central to the way the parties switched positions between WWI and the Southern Strategy.
@Scientific Methodologist *looks around* Oh yeah, and nothing has changed since 1856. 🙄🙄
The Republican'ts are hiding from an investigation into the Jan. 6th domestic terrorism attack on the Capitol -- or does that not count because it was 6 months ago?
They should worry. Instead of the "CRT", students should learn the, "Critical Thinking and Analytical Reasoning Theory".
Yes 🙌🏻 . Ironic it's called critical race theory when it is slavish almost religious dogma that only invites a narrow set of allowed ideas.
Teach that to the advocates of CRT. They dont understand Critical Thinking and Analytical Reasoning Theory
Critical Race Theory is anti-White brainwashing.
It's a curious kind of "choice" when if any White person says anything in support of their racial group they'd better look out for their job, their safety and potentially even their freedom from incarceration.
What kind of CHOICE is that anti-Whites?
The System is anti-White
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White
...and it's getting more obvious every day.
Depends on which *critical* you mean, since it has two different meanings. One is neo-marxist postmodernism seeking to disrupt enlightement order of the west, the other is just the ability to think for yourself. The former is more concerned with power-dynamics, the latter concerned with truth.
The media and lots of liberal professors encourage the sheep mentality. This is why blm is embraced by corporations, the media and leftists.
There is a difference between teaching the truth about what has happened in this country, and teaching to view race relations through a very specific lens. One that is not always accurate, and is in some cases against free speech. The writer in this video is correct, it's pedagogy by another name.
I am a liberal, and believe fully in the concept of police reform, and policies that provide for the betterment of all people. I know as fact that this country has acted in a racist fashion, and still has laws that are racist. All of that needs to be known and addressed. But the way the left is choosing to go about this is very ham fisted, and forget engrained the concept of race. We should be teaching our children how to look past differences so we can build a better future, not further entrenching concepts of identity.
If you want a disgruntled populace, help telling them that society is inherently racist. Or on the conservative side, keep telling them about CRT. This is a perfect example of where the left goes too far. And the writer on this broadcast wasn't even really allowed to make a case.
For the record, there are a number of black intellectuals who are also against CRT. I'd suggest attempting to understand what they're saying, because it's very important to the future of free speech and a non-reactionary public discourse.
I like what you said, but could you explain what laws are still racist?

CRT starts in law school, rapidly spread into other fields, including education.
"Although CRT began as a movement in the law, it has rapidly spread beyond that discipline. Today, many in the field of education consider themselves critical race theorists who use CRT’s ideas to understand issues of school discipline and hierarchy, tracking, controversies over curriculum and history, and IQ and achievement testing. Political scientists ponder voting strategies coined by critical race theorists. Ethnic studies courses often include a unit on critical race theory, and American studies departments teach material on critical white students developed by CRT writers. Unlike some academic disciplines, critical race theory contains an activist dimension. It not only tries to understand our social situation, but to change it."

thank you for the book suggestion
There aren’t “movements” in academics. That quote about it being activist confuses it with Marx...and is wrong.
Critical race theory is impartial and doesn't care about your feelings. Which is why Republicans feelings are hurt, they cannot explain or burry the past away.
How do you people come up with these lies? It's disgusting.
Lookbovine is correct in saying that it is not a "movement" it is just acedemic literature that is applicable to real life scenarios

@@tabbsbrand75 I’m sorry you’re so upset that we’re pushing back against the racist nonsense that’s being taught to children in public schools. But that sounds like a you problem. If you’re this upset by our opposition to racism, maybe you should try being less racist.
So funny how the same people stuck on going back to a "better time" don't want to discuss what actually happened during the "good ole days" that made today look the way it does.
Why not just teach history? Don‘t label it. Give an accurate and honest recount of what happened. It ain‘t that difficult.
Totally true. No white washing of our history. Just leave the opinionated conclusions of CRT out of K-12 education.

@@moisesmontecillo7570 Looking at power dynamics rather than objective facts. Rewriting definitions like racism=power+prejudice.

@@Brandwein42 Wow. Well articulated. Ive always had an issue promoting teaching based on subjective reasoning in a K-12 setting.
I don't think white people want their kids to know that white adults called six-year-old Ruby Bridges the n-word and choose to pull their kids out of school for a year when she desegregated elementary schools in Louisiana. And they sure as heck don't want them to find out that the white 13-year-old designated as the Youngest Freedom Rider actually tipped off those civil rights workers to the planned KKK attack (I think her dad or another relative was in the Klan, which is how she found out) on them.

It’s reminiscent of white privilege, BLM and defund the police. The names along are off putting to a lot of people and don’t accurately reflect what they actually mean. People get defensive and emotional, in response. Sometimes it’s the messenger and not necessarily the message.

CRT is a university course, people don't understand that Republicans and other conservatives are hijacking the term because it sounds scary. No K-12 child is taking CRT, that is for graduate school. What the Republicans and conservative groups are really trying to do is stop history from being taught. They don't want to come to grips with the messed up things many of their ancestors did to gain and maintain their wealth and power. Because if they found out the hard truth it would be harder to justify their support for this broken system that America has.
It’s 2021 and descendants of enslaved Africans are still marching, kneeling and protesting 18th century racism and white supremacist ideology and you’re making a million excuses to oppose equality and to avoid doing the work it would take to eradicate it.
But it seems white America is content to keep pretending that a civil rights act, not EQUAL RIGHTS, but “civil” rights act is the equivalent to disavowing and eradicating racism and white supremacist ideology; making atonement and restitution for the centuries of government sanctioned and taxed enslavement, mental/physical torture, family separation, denial of education and cultural knowledge and religion, the still unpaid slave labor transformed this newly formed nation an economic powerhouse… and for perpetuating centuries of systemic racism onto the descendants of enslaved Africans.
Racism isn’t hereditary or natural, there’s no way it could still exist without a large portion of the “silent majority” supporting, teaching and passing it down to each generation since the 18th century…. But with 30+ million poor white people in America and the majority of middle class whites are closer to the poverty line than wealth, they’ve traded away the majority of the nation’s wealth to the 1% in exchange for some societal perks and a ridiculous fantasy white supremacy.
It takes a tremendous amount of determination and persistence sustain 18th century ideology to the current day….it will take that same level of determination and persistence to end it. If white people think it’s uncomfortable addressing racism….imagine facing it.

Of course, for those of us in STEM majors, sociology was a very easy fuzzy study, and we were not perverted by their pathetic misuse of logic.
I am Irish, c.70% of the female population of Iceland has Irish DNA and 70% of the male population of Iceland has Viking DNA (west Norway to be precise). Why did this happen? Slavery, Irish women were enslaved and transported to Iceland. This is all fact.
Let me be clear I am all in favour of educating children on the historical account of slavery, of the civil war, that is was wrong and that all forms of racism is wrong etc, all that makes sense to me. Also all in favour of educating people on issues like "be nice to all people be polite to all people treat all people well" no issues at all.
What I am absolutely against is forcing schools in Iceland to teach their children and in particular the male white children that their society is built on enforced slavery of women backed up by male aggression and oppression. It serves no purpose, it does not help anyone it would only create anger, bitterness and resentment in both Ireland and Iceland.
I would humbly submit that what is happening in the US re teaching kids to hate teaching kids to be ashamed of who and what they are is simply wrong on all counts.

Teaching about slavery and the injustices America as a nation has committed in the K through 12 classroom that has nothing to do with critical race theory. Nothing whatsoever the people who created who develop the models to explain critical race theory they weren’t even thinking about teaching children they were trying to educate adults who were looking to become lawyers.

Even if we were to all agree on what the liberal definition of CRT is, that's hardly the point people on the right are making.

CRT rejects objective, neutral, and balanced as white value, advocates subjectivity and political activism.
"A major theme of critical race theory reflects the colored intellectual's persistent battle to avoid being rendered inauthentic by the pressures of adapting to the white world and, instead, to take an oppositional stance by relying on one's true existential life, which is rooted in a world of color even though not stuck there...
As a reflection of authenticity, critical race scholarship also rejects the traditional dictates that implore one to write and study as a detached observer whose work is purportedly objective, neutral, and balanced. In the classic sense of "professing", critical race scholars advocate and defend positions."
Fran Olsen points out that traditional scholarship's appearance of balance presupposes a status quo baseline that hinders both understanding...

Someone needs to explain to chucklenutz CRT isn't taught to children anymore than Heisenberg's Wave Function.
Anti-Racism is the most favorite slang term for CRT bc schools know that if they call it what it is, parents would throw a fit. And they already are. Thats why apologists like you defend it.
Then why are the teachers unions involved? Or did that completely ignore that fact?
CRT is a bit of a misnomer. It is an umbrella term for:
Whiteness
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
Antiracism
Or anything that holds that one's race is the individual's primary identity.
Ibrim X. Kendi is famous for the phrase anti-racism. It essentially believes that discrimination is it needed to correct past discrimination. He also believes that America is a fundamentally racist country.
So this book he talks about is connected to CRT,..in what way,..🤔
one step forward, three steps back
"Not My Idea" is written by Anastasia Higginbotham, who is not connected with CRT, but instead writes developmental books for children in a way they can understand on an array of topics, not just race. It has gotten rave reviews from not only teachers, but many, many parents, as well. Christopher Rufo is not any kind of expert, but just another grifter that found a niche in the Reich-wing to exploit. Here, he dishonestly attempts to conflate one (White) author's attempt to teach children to think about race in our everyday lives----who was inspired by another author, Toni Morrison, not CRT----with CRT. He also falsely conflates a liberal suburb of Chicago, Evanston, where the book is being used as part of the curriculum, with the whole Chicago school system.

I was thinking the same thing.
Yes, there are two Americas - left and right. And despite the erudite representatives of either side, the distance between the two keeps growing.
CRT considers black nationalist as part of racial politics.
"Whatever the intentions and psycho-cultural needs of black integrationists in the past, it should now be apparent that the exclusion of a nationalist approach to racial justice from mainstream discourse has been a cultural and political mistake that has constrained the boundaries of racial politics."
--Race-consciousness by Gary Peller
Trump has made white nationalism a part of national politics. CRT critics seem to want to ignore that fact. Well they would, wouldn't they?
True. One of CRT's pioneers is Kimberlee Crenshaw who is said to have been associated with Black Nationalism and feminism for decades.

No one wants to teach CRT to children the same way we don't teach contract law to children, they're not in the legal profession.
The Manhattan Institute (Republican think tank) recently chose CRT to be a boogey man for the midterms even though its been around for years and really does nothing on its own. What you've been told about CRT is part of an open astroturf campaign.
One example of where CRT could be applied is around the USDA farm loans program which currently gives preferential treatment to white farmers over black farmers. You can lookup "Pigford v. Glickman" for more. Just one example of many for some context.

What many commenters have wrong is that CRT is NOT just about knowledge. If CRT was only about introducing more Black history into schools, then I would be all for it. It truly is a shame that most of us didn’t learn about our very racialized past, apart from the civil rights movement, but CRT is not about introducing objectivity. It is expressly a subjective method, and it promotes a narrative with the hopes of implementing equitable policy. Equity can be a great thing, but if everyone is made totally equal without any room for personal responsibility or merit, our society will crumble.
Hold up right there tho, youre claiming CRT is about equity when it's not. Im sorry but its not what you think it is.
@@MrLTLB i know that CRT is technically just a legal theory (one that promotes equality of outcome might I add), but CRT has become an umbrella term that represents the growing trend in institutions, corporations, and schools, to train employees and students to get rid of their perceived racial biases and inequities.

NEA didn't say anything about supporting CRT - NEA said they would support teachers in how they teach HISTORY (and won't let them be silenced by parents who don't want their kids to learn about slavery). No public school has CRT in their curriculum
@@grumpywitcher Actually that's not true, but a great talking point pushed by CRT proponents. **July 6 - The National Education Association (NEA) recently convened for its annual representative assembly, where it debated and advanced a number of resolutions, including one that would launch a campaign to promote CRT in the 14,000 school districts it collaborates with.
The language of the item was explicit in its support for the doctrine, saying, “We oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project.” It also included a provision to jumpstart a study into that “critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society.”
New Business Item 39 aims to arm union members with the knowledge and resources to combat “anti-CRT rhetoric” and promote curricula infused with the ideology in their school districts.

Critical Race Theory is a legal framework and philosophical theory that asserts:
1) "Race" is a social and legal construct (think One-Drop or a Black man is 3/5 a person) 2) The legal system is used to maintain White Supremacy, both through laws themselves and through the application of laws by police and courts.
CRT is not taught in K-8 curriculum because it is an advanced field of study that requires an understanding of American history and law.
However, high schoolers can understand the basics of CRT and should be learning about:
- slavery laws, the one-drop rule, the 3/5 Supreme Court ruling,
- the 13th Amendment,
-Jim Crow segregation and anti-miscegenation laws,
- redlining and voter suppression,
- the War on Drugs, police brutality and killing, discriminatory sentencing, etc.
The history of race and racism in America is a LEGAL history. CRT is something that most socially aware people already know, and it needs more informed advocates to defend it from White hysteria, rage, and disinformation.
CRT is something beyond k-12 and is far too complicated a concept for it to even need to be considered by children. If you need CRT, you’ll be in college. Learning history of slavery and oppression has nothing to do with CRT and children do need to learn about racial and sexist oppression, but without having to label an oppressive group and an oppressed group. Children of ANY race shouldn’t need to be labeled as racist or victimized. Come on! CRT is too complex to need to be taught to children and no child of any color should be labeled in the way CRT labels.

Generally agree, although my primary education taught that the British looked upon America and its other colonies as ways to expand their land holdings and power, and was used to exploit the indigenous peoples and their lands, and that the people in its colonized lands tended to be neglected by the British government and denied representation.
As Eileen pointed out already in her reply here, it wasn't just the British who colonized America. Most of the present-day southwestern United States was Spanish colonies; we stole 1/3 of Mexico from it in the Mexican War. The Russians colonized Alaska. The French had holdings in what is now America, as well, not just in Louisiana, but along our border with Canada. The Dutch had colonies along the northeast coastline in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, claiming land stretching inland for a good distance into parts of eastern Pennsylvania and New York.

There is a difference between denying our racist history, and not supporting CRT. I full well recognize our discriminatory past, as well as present practices and norms of racism. I support policies that eradicate those practices, reform our police, etc. I support teaching our histories accurately (no one seems to talk about American Indian rights or histories in 2021...).
But I don't support CRT. It improperly distills the complexity of a society through only the lens of race. It further entrenches identity based on racial lines as well. It tells people how they should feel, act and think about a topic. And if you don't agree you're a racist or a Nazi - as I have been so charitably described once online for simply trying to have a conversation on this issue.
It's easy to call out the simpletons who don't understand policy in general for not endorsing CRT. But that's not a valid argument for those that do. You're making the assumption that the only way to be against it is to not know it.

Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism. America has been racist since before ever becoming America. While we have struggled to make our society less racist over the centuries, there remains vestiges of our racist past. CRT doesn't mean that all white people are overtly racist, but it does help us to think about how racism still persists in society and people, knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or unwillingly. This is merely the latest culture war for the Reich-wing is trying to gin up, making CRT the boogeyman for their flock of fascist sheep to fear. Evidently, Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss couldn't gain much traction as wedge issues. Unwittingly, they are demonstrating and proving the whole point of CRT and the need for it to be studied.
“America has been racist since before ever becoming America”
CRT rejects legal discourse
"The CLS (critical legal studies) emphasis on DECONSTRUCTION as the vehicle for liberation leads to the conclusion that engaging in legal discourse should be avoided because it reinforces not only the discourse itself but also the society and the world that it embodies."

Because grade school teachers don't know what Critical Race Theory (CRT) is, how can they teach it? The subject requires a sophisticated analysis of how the law affects race from many vantage points ie., voting rights & suppression, policing, incarceration, education, school finance, housing access, healthcare access & outcomes, etc. Reforming institutions, structures and systems undermining racial equity is the goal. CRT doesn't involve targeting White school children or Asians, for example, nor personalities like "Bull" Connor, Donald Trump or David Duke. So, one may ask why is CRT an issue? Let me answer it thusly: It would honor Americans to refrain from carrying water for Donald Trump and his acolytes, who are perpetrating a cynical, race-based disinformation campaign targeting Native Black Americans via Critical Race Theory, Voter Suppression and Black Lives Matter, the purposes of which are to divert attention from his vast state-federal legal troubles and fortify his base so it supports such shenanigans, to gain political power they could not otherwise with integrity obtain--which takes into consideration decreasing GOP demographics, to undermine American democracy and, many believe, instigate a race war. The breath and depth of this Trumptonian treachery is horrific for being based on lies, which many believe with cult-like devotion. But as he showed America before he became the most powerful man in the world, dude is wholly unsuited for being anything, except the perfect Russian asset. Stated differently, sociopaths are not a remedy. And the memory of Jim Jones helps prove it. With due respect. (KFB 8.24.21)

We are tired of people trying to separate and conquer for political reasons or monetary gain for their book they are trying to sell.
As America becomes more diverse, CRT will be taught. Arguing against it will only popularize it.
** CRT advocate using racial discrimination to fight racism
The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discimination is present
discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

Rufo is not just a "writer" -- he's a conservative activist. When I see "writer" that's just a quick jump to expert or scholar; the fact he's a conservative activist should be disclosed up front, so that your viewers have the proper context before hearing his arguments. There's a HUGE difference between hearing from an education scholar and say, Charlie Kirk.
Well said!!
What is "radical"? It is people living on the streets, not having food, not having shelter. What is radical? It is not earning a living wage working full time while corporations make billions and don't pay enough taxes.
Okay, just read that book. I think it's not bad. Maybe the simplified terms can cause some confusion, but if you read, or know of, Toni Morrison than you could likely understand her intent wasn't racist or malicious against white people, but the idea that white is pure, clean, good...the actual color and the symbolism attached to it, not so much as a race. Whiteness refers to the symbolism of the color. Seeing white as good, black as evil and dark. Pretty good author overall trying to teach parents (not teachers) how to discuss current events on the news with their kids. I think I would have benefited from this book as a child...it shows care and understanding (racism as a choice, not an inheritance). Maybe the gun law related stuff might be the more sensitive issue...but we're not talking about that apparently.
"Things happening in Illinois and Chicago."
Christopher - You can simply say Illinois (state) which captures Chicago (city). Geography should be taught in schools for sure!
Critical Race Theory is anti-White brainwashing.
It's a curious kind of "choice" when if any White person says anything in support of their racial group they'd better look out for their job, their safety and potentially even their freedom from incarceration.
What kind of CHOICE is that?
The System is anti-White
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White
...and it's getting more obvious every day.
Your sidestepping the issue. I suggest you look at the issue with an open mind.
Just curious.. was the book he mentions actually written by a critical race theorist??
So he doesn't think race has been a major force in the history of the United States? Has he ever heard of The American Civil War?, Jim Crow? The sharecropper system? Prison slavery?, The 1964 Civil Rights Act?, The 1965 Voting Rights Act?, Voter suppression laws being enacted now that are specifically targeted at Black communities? Or, if he has heard of those things, why does he not want that history to be taught to appropriate aged students during their public school history classes?
Right Wingers trying to cancel American History 😂
This one could legitimately be entitled “Christopher Rufo DESTROYS Princeton’s Eddie Von Jr” or whatever his name is.
The fact that in school I never learned about the Tulsa Massacre or the truth about the Alamo tells me that there has been and continues to be a concerted effort to whitewash history. CRT can help reverse this situation.
Very well said!
