It's pretty clear that America has not dealt with all the racism in It's past. If it did there wouldn't be a need for all this today. Racism just doesn't disappear if you don't talk about it.
Talk or accuse? There is a difference. CRT sure seems like your old standby of falsely labeling those who disagree with you as racist. The only thing that has changed is the format.
@@freedommatters2900 There should be both. Talking about racism is always appropriate and so is accusing racists of racism. Racists don't get to decide what's racist and what isn't.

@@edzzz5043 Even when Blacks were Slaves and immediately after slavery, they were still being victimized 24/7. And yet that didn’t discourage them from achieving. Many secretly got themselves educated. They saved and still bought land and farmed it. Being lynched and having their land taken didn’t stop them from trying to buy more land knowing it could be taken away again. Knowing my history inspires us, as it has NEVER hindered me. I‘ve been passed over for promotions while those with less experience and ability were promoted. I had openly white racist teachers in the 70s in TX, but that didn’t stop me. So maybe the problem is your own mentality. The Bible didn’t leave out King David or Peter’s failure in the Bible. Good doesn’t hide the bad biblical history like the US does, because Jesus said we should learn from the past. How can people learn to do better if you hide history. They will be like Trump. For example, he says he doesn’t need to change, and that’s probably because no one has been brave enough to tell him about his past wrongs.

BTW, this commenter is deliberately ignoring the complete title of this video, which makes it clear it is really about reactionary Reich-wing fear mongering for partisan gain by misrepresenting CRT to appeal to the worst elements and darkest natures of people in the GOP. It was not intended to be some kind of crash course on CRT. Moreover, this commenter is disingenuously attributing a false equivalency, as Democrats aren't the ones trying to use it as a culture war wedge issue, only Republicans. And the lady being interviewed is one of the college law professors who cofounded CRT, not a political hack.

she did explain it but mostly a dictionary textbook definition. i know what you're TRYING to say, but you said it wrong. yes she didn't go over the detail and underpinning philosophies guiding crt. you'd have to read several books to get an understand of the subject really not a brief video, which is outside the scope of a news program.
@@justamoogle5268 ...The foundation that supports racism is legislation. The laws written to impose limits and prohibition on a specific group. Cascade down to the stigma that is imposed upon the specific group mentioned in the laws. The prejudicial outlook that ,"well since the law mentions "them" specifically, they must be the problem. Drop down another level to where the stigma has now become a societal norm, "you know they are...", "you better watch out for them because...". Then finally societal acceptance of the "others" being excluded, segregated, wrongfully treated, etc. From the basics I know, about CRT, it has reverse engineered that process to normalise progress in stabilising race relations. Primarily through education and again, legislation. Again, I have only familiarised myself with the 5 basic principles. I recommend you read at least that.

@@GrinchyGreen334 There are two concerns here. One is the content of the courses, the other is how they are implemented. Anti-racism is not history. If you want to learn about the past you should study history via historiography. These courses are pseudo-disciplines with little to no rigor or accountability. Christianity has been around for a long time. Why don't we require students to take Christianity courses in public schools? The answer is that in public schools we shouldn't be requiring one viewpoint or religion over another. The second answer, why we don't teach creationism in science courses, is that it has metaphysical claims that can't be verified. This leads to the second topic. Universities, historically, determine what courses they teach and the courses required for degrees. Academics and experts in each field determine the curricula and then design courses and programs. The State Senate has NEVER told universities what and how to teach - having a political authority, that lacks subject matter expertise, commanding by law that something be taught is absolutely totalitarian. Faculty and staff aren't voting on it. It is top down imposition by fiat. I'm pretty sure, if a conservative government required faculty to teach Christianity, they and the students would be right to resist the imposition.
@@joshualovelace3375 So how is the teaching of a religion the same as teaching factual historic events that are very well documented?? We have no idea what Jesus even looks like but we have pictures of people hanging from trees while surrounded by smiling white people on postcards. We have no idea what Moses looks like but we have whole documentaries about the Jim Crow era. We have proof that the Tulsa burning happened, we have proof that black people were enslaved and treated less than human. We have proof of the “Whites only” facilities. We have proof that I would have been considered Three Fifths of a man. It’s in article one section 2 of the constitution of the United States. We have proof of Housing, and voting discrimination against Black Americans. So how are u comparing teaching real life and actual documented events to a religion?? Every American is not Christian, y’all have to realize that, but every Black American knows or has experienced some form of racism at least once in their lives. You used all those eloquent words and still didn’t say shyt. If you want to learn religious doctrines then go to church where u can learn, Or study theology. It’s not the same and don’t insult my intelligence by making that type of false equivalency. If anything our experience here in America should be compared to that of the Holocaust, which gets no pushback being taught and is never as disrespected as Chattel Slavery. Gtfoh
@@GrinchyGreen334 You missed my point. I'm saying one reason we shouldn't teach a religion as true is because we don't have evidence for it. Chattel Slavery, Racism, Segregation, Lynching, Jim Crow, Redlining; all these morally reprehensible events happened and are historically verifiable. That is History because it can be verified. No sane historian would dispute this. The question is: What do we do about it? We have identified historical problems: Tribalism and Racism. What now is the solution? Finding the best solution is the debate. Post-Modern Theory is a philosophy that is often anti-science and (in my view) makes things worse rather than better.
"We have met the enemy, and he is us!" ~ Walt Kelly "The secret of freedom is educating the people, whereas the secret of tyranny is keeping them ignorant." ~ Robespierre “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” ~ Voltaire "There can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet." ~Abraham Lincoln “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." ~ Charles Bukowski "Everybody has a right to their opinion, but nobody has a right to be wrong in their facts." ~ Bernard Baruch, quoted in 1946 AP article. “It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.” ~ Mark Twain “It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” ~ James A. Baldwin "When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent." ~ Isaac Asimov “If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.” ~ Ulysses S. Grant, 1875 "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” ~ Typically misattributed to Sinclair Lewis, the original source of this quote is unknown, but likely derived from labor activist Eugene V. Debs 1917 quote, "Every robber or oppressor in history has wrapped himself in a cloak of patriotism or religion, or both." Before World War II, Charles Lindbergh typified American heroism with his daring flights, including the first solo transatlantic flight, and his celebration of new technology. He parlayed his fame and heroic stature into a leading role in the America First movement, which opposed America’s entrance into the war against Nazi Germany. In 1939, in an essay entitled “Aviation, Geography, and Race,” published in that most American of journals, Reader’s Digest, Lindbergh embraced something close to Nazism for America: "It is time to turn from our quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. This alliance with foreign races means nothing but death to us. It is our turn to guard our heritage from Mongol and Persian and Moor, before we become engulfed in a limitless foreign sea." The America First movement was the public face of pro-fascist sentiment in the United States at that time. In the twenties and thirties, many Americans shared Lindbergh’s views against immigration, especially by non-Europeans. The Immigration Act of 1924 strictly limited immigration into the country, and it was specifically intended to restrict the immigration of both nonwhites and Jews. Once again, nationalism, aka fascism, has risen its ugly head in America, in European nations, and in some other countries around the world. The fight of good people against ignorance, the fears that sprout from it, the hate which then blossoms, culminating in the bitter toxic fruit of evil, senseless brutalities and deaths, is a constant, never-ending battle we fear, but it is a battle from which we must never shrink. In this era, the likes of Toxic Trump and Marginalized Greene have become the face of the new "America First" fascist movement built up over the last four decades by the GOP, Reich-wing plutocrats, demagogues, and media. But, as with Lindbergh, the American people gradually come to recognize their dysfunctional poison and reject it. Most Americans understand, accept, and appreciate that the enduring strength of America is that we are a nation of immigrants and multiculturalism, a "melting pot" where the best ideas rise to the top, and superficial differences are meaningless in the face of our common humanity and purpose. Most Americans want competent leaders who speak truth, who strive to unite, who are not corrupt, who care about them. So, it should come as no surprise that President Biden is already receiving high marks from the public, while Toxic Trump never managed to rise above even a 50% approval rating. To conclude where begun, the following quotes are submitted for further reflection: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." ~ George Santayana "History doesn't repeat itself. But it does rhyme. ~ Mark Twain "That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history." ~ Aldous Huxley "If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us! But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern which shines only on the waves behind." ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

@@janicebailey3507 ~ _'Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America'_ by Kathleen Belew (Harvard University Press, 2018) The movement “brought together members of the Klan, militias, radical tax resisters, white separatists, neo-Nazis, and proponents of white theologies such as Christian Identity, Odinism, and Dualism” (ix). What was it about the movement that brought these ideologies together? The promise of violence - rather, the promise that members would get to inflict violence on other people. Belew writes that as the white power movement matured, it became more violent, and “[as] violence came to the fore of the movement, distinctions among white power factions melted away” (60). Belew calls this process “violent community formation” (34). Yet as a social movement, Belew makes a distinction between the white power movement’s “revolutionary violence” and the Ku Klux Klan’s “vigilante violence.” Vigilante violence “served to constitute, shore up, and enforce systemic power” (106). Given that the U.S. government has a long history of “defending vigilante violence by refusing to enforce the law” (99), law enforcement inaction and vigilante violence may be understood together as a case of one hand washing the other. Revolutionary violence, however, sought to overthrow the state. It is the white power movement’s goal of overthrowing the federal government that sets it apart in the history of white supremacy in the U.S.

Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies. The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others. A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants. Banks subsequently refused to offer mortgages to Black people in those areas.
What I want to know is how and why a critical race theorists is the main scholar behind my young kids’ state-mandated critical pedagogy framework (culturally responsive sustaining education). If, CRT is so far removed from anything having to do with k-12, how is it that a scholar so well regarded in CRT circles (Gloria Larson-Billings), also has so much power on what is being taught in public schools? A “critical lens,” the frame work calls it. Understanding the world through a sole “critical lens” defined in the framework as systems of power dynamics and oppressor/oppressed binaries (page 8). How is this compatible with critical thinking, which requires individuals to understand and analyze multiple perspectives (i.e., lenses) at once?

@JZ's Best Friend While Donald is a bully, you cannot point to one single solitary example of Donald Trump doing or saying ANYthing but GOOD things when it comes to African Americans. I, on the other hand, can show you innumerable photos of Trump being with black civil rights leaders even long before he was president. I can point to numerous awards that large black-advancement organizations gave to Donald again even long before he was president. Donald MASSIVELY increased federal money to historically black colleges & universities. Donald advocated & signed legislation that GREATLY and very positively affected MANY incarcerated blacks. Donald actively reached out to African Americans during both of his campaigns and the left mocked him for it. The first people he hosted at Trump Tower immediately after he was elected were black leaders. He dated a black woman. Look it all up...it's all there to be seen. And i could go on. You, on the other hand will produce NOTHING that Donald ever said or did that reflects anything but love for African Americans. The left likes to say that it is "offended."

No CRT is specifically a theory that engages in law. You're misrepresenting what it is. It was founded in law school and as explained in the video if you actually watched, engages with the legal outcomes of racism.

@@salb5610 crt is an offshoot of critical legal analysis/theory which bases the differences between races solely because of white supremacy. Critical legal theory looks more a social and economic explains for legal outcomes. CRT is not limited to legal thought as it is being taught today. Don’t gaslight. When you teach that one group is an oppressor and one group is the oppressed based on skin color alone and use that to explain every difference between racial groups you have passed the line from legitimate legal theory into racial partisan politics. You know exactly why the left seeks to teach this in elementary school. It’s not because it’s some legal theory. I took critical legal theory in law school and I very much know the arguments.

@@neonbible08 Again, CRT as an offshoot of CLT, looks at prejudices existing in the legal system.

Lmao this is a college level class. Trail of tears Harriet Tubman and Tulsa are not taught in schools. You can find out about it when you become an adult or by reading outside of class. If your child comes home and ask you about it more than likely they didn't hear it at school. 😂😂😂
African and black community-centric studies are usually taught in college because that depth of history is never taught at elementary, middle, and high school level educations. Why is this such a surprise to you? I don’t know where you went to school in the U.S., but history is only one course out of many that are taught at those education levels. Remember, there is a LOT of history that has to be crammed into that time slot. Crowding out more meaningful history to make way for Harriet Tubman and Tulsa is misguided and insane. Only a black supremacist would dare to make such a suggestion. If we’re going to start humoring the country’s racists in our education system, it will require granting white racists the same opportunity to highlight their personal heroes in history too (/s). That’s madness. Education fundamentals SHOULD be the education priority at those levels of education rather than the black community’s self-serving political agenda.
@@ShadyCool more meaningful history? Who makes that determination? Harriet Tubman IS significant as were the Tulsa race riots within the historical lore of African Americans. Clearly your perspective reveals the issue in that you would consider such central figures and events within African American history which only exist due to white racism as insignificant. There is a reason that Tulsa represents a key moment within the history of black Americans and not others. I am certain that other minority groups have seminal moments to which history books have either ignored or dare I say whitewashed. How do you define black supremacy? If a teacher teaches about SNCC, Carter G. Woodson the Black Panthers, Nat Turner or Ida B.Wells, somehow they are racist because the curriculum is focused on black history? I would indeed suggest that the names just mentioned are unfamiliar to many middle and high school students yet there is no shortage of non minority historical figures that have been propagandized for generations in the minds of minority students.
To Danny Moua: Racism is not a strictly academic college-level subject. Unlike physics, science or calculus, there is no college-level and elementary-school-level racism. All children, both white and non-white, are learning about racism every day through direct experience, and the nature and quality of their experience is determined by their race. Looking into racism cannot be deferred until college, although children's fragile psyches must be taken into account. Long before college (if they end up going to college), children have already been deeply affected by racism, whether they understand it or not. That’s why critical thinking must be taught at an early age, not only with respect to race, but also with respect to everything.
@@ShadyCool For me it is an error to state that “Crowding out more meaningful history to make way for Harriet Tubman and Tulsa is misguided and insane”. Teaching history is not a matter of cramming a lot of dates and names into innocent brains, is it? Isn’t history taught so that children might understand what shapes humanity, inhumanity, events and actions, and so on, which form the fabric of our lives or the quality of our societies? By excluding people and events such as Harriet Tubman and Tulsa from elementary school history, what is actually excluded is the fact of racism, which affects us all. It would be like excluding the entire industrial revolution from history - not just a particular inventor, invention, process, and so on, but its total impact and implications. Racism is interwoven into the cultural, social and political fabric of many (if not all) nations, not just the U.S. It is not just in the U.S. that a critical eye needs to be cast on what led to present-day divides and conflicts. Racism is not an incidental “side issue”. Whether or not it is taught in school, both white and non-white children are learning about racism through direct experience - and the nature and quality of their experience is determined by their race. That’s why it is critical that critical thinking must be taught at an early age, not only with respect to race, but also with respect to everything.

Read about Critical Theory everyone, the origin of CRT. Maybe you'll see that it's the same thing and they are gaslighting conservatives and liberals like myself who isn't a Marxist. Most people saying that others don't know what it is have a false perception of what it is because they are lied to by their own party members whom are further to the left. Like Critical Theory, CRT offers no solution and helps create divisions.

CRT is against the melting pot idea . . . Black people who adopt "white" values also known as "whiteness" lack "critical consciousness" and "authentic blackness" In order to achieve liberation you must "decolonize" the "white-supremacist" idea of "equality theory".

I got my degree in CRT years ago. Due to the negative presumptions of the field ...our professors worked us EXTRA hard. If we missed more than 2-3 days of class we would be dropped from the course compared to like 2 weeks of class for other majors. The legitimacy of CRT isn't up for "debate". It's simple...do you want students learning the historic judicial system of this country & the INHERENT racial biases embedded in it (which impacts the current status quo), or not?

But you have to be aware how double standards fuel this so-called “culture war,” for there to be any progress regarding with such conversations. Look at my kids’ own state-mandated culturally responsive sustaining education framework (the booklet for this framework is easily found online). Did you know, btw, that the main scholar behind this type of culturally responsive educational frameworks (Gloria Larson-Billings) is a critical race theorists by any sound definition of that term? As part of the framework’s vision, it aims to make students “social politically conscious” (2 out of 3 of the framework’s bullets listed goals deal with sociopolitical themes). This kind of framework is setting a precedent for any radical political group to politicize education (replace the framework’s “critical lens” for a “biblical lens” to give you an idea of how this would work). Not only that, by favoring a “critical lens,” the framework turn its back on the critical thinking ideals that should be the foundation of students’ education. Ironically, emphasizing a single narrow worldview above all others will not facilitate conversations on controversial topics. In other words, such framework is imposing an ideology on public school students (indoctrination).

The irony is the information is out there, yet right wing media talks around the topic spreading BS when they could speak to an expert. But that is too much like right.
CRT promotes the notion that the fact that a group is measurably superior is proof that everybody in that group is guilty; and, that a group being inferior is proof that everybody in that group is a victim. Further: this principle projects through time; asserting that what happened to the long dead projects onto the guilt or victimhood of the living; even if the living never experienced it at all...........
CRT examines a measurably superior group or outcome and determines if any institutions, not individuals, used illegal or unfair practices and politics to tip the scale. And compounding not CRT says the impact can grow through time. Duh!!
@@olliemck60 Incorrect. CRT presumes to divide the measurements by race. Then it presumes any difference that is in favor of the wrong race is caused by racism. Then it advocates race based legislation. Then it looks at the measurements.

It is a deliberate lie to say that all criticism of CRT comes from Republicans. The most informed and eloquent critics of CRT are Liberals and Independent thinkers. People like John McWhorter, Brett Weinstein, Sam Harris and James Lindsay. I dare the echo chamberists at MSNBC to have on James Lindsay to debate the issue. He would rip your empty talking heads to shreds.
It’s funny how CRT experts are always so vague in describing what are some of the tenants or belief that the theory advocates for. From what I’ve gathered they have these tenants -racism is ordinary not rare -race is a social construct-society places certain meaning to different racial groups either positive or negative. -interested convergence=white voters won’t vote to stop oppressing black people unless their is some benefit to them -counter storytelling/storytelling=challenge hegemonic narratives and centering minority views. -intersectionality=I.e black women vs black men will have similar issues based on racism but different issues in terms of sexism. Some of the founders such as Derick bells suggest that the authors of civil rights legislation from the 60’s knew that colorblind laws wouldn’t help black people and in turn create racial disparities=colorblind laws often have racist intentions. If anyone reading this is familiar with CRT let me know how I did.
totally wrong, this is a summary a student turns in 5 min before the deadline if you were a law school student. Your response is biased af since your making yourself the victim. CRT analyzes how the United States history of racism is embedded in our laws and systems pretty simple, its not saying white people are inherently racist, that's you making yourself a victim. i thought dems were the ones with victim mentality but its the right that's always moaning about cancel culture, I have to laugh really
You got 4 out 6, not bad; however, your prioritizing of CRT advocacy was shaky as you seemed to favor that over CRT's remediation of bias and racism goal. So for grading: You missed #2. convergence; it really relates to governments and institutions, not individuals; for example, the civil rights movement was helped by the cold war because the USA government was losing ground worldwide to Russian propaganda about USA apartheid so the USA reluctantly weakened segregation laws but not necessarily segregation. And while eliminating bias will help the country, depending on achieving racial equity by vote is far-fetched. AS, unfortunately, this country is not a democracy, otherwise, tRump would never have been POTUS, and racism would have been voted out long ago because the vast majority of Americans are NOT explicit racist. You missed 6, because Derrick Bell came to know that what was believed to be the best course of just integration and voting was in HINDSIGHT wrong because reactionary forces reinstituted the racism in other ways. For instance, the goal in Brown v Board was better schools for black children, and that did not happen, especially in black neighborhoods; but some black students got access to better resources by being bussed out of their neighborhoods. And even MLK was beginning to doubt the focus on just integration-based civil rights and started to emphasize economics, and that got him killed. Bell felt that all they got was some integration and rights that were eventually diluted. And integration had negative impacts on black communities: 1. many societally enriched resources moved out of black neighborhoods, 2. it killed black businesses as black consumers diversified their purchases it attracted more affluent suppliers and there was no two-way street. In fact, it happened to my Uncle, who owned a small grocery store, after integration a big box seized the opportunity to come into the neighborhood, and that put him and all the other neighborhood grocers and suppliers out of business, except an Asian grocery store that carried ethnic-specific products. But all in all, you did ok for a newbie. Just remember the tenets are important, but not as important as the goal, which is racial equity.
1:45 That's not entirely true. Or not true at all. It's not just asking questions. It's presuming to have answers. And the idea of "this method of color indifference only worked 80%, so in order to achieve 100% we will go the opposite direction" sounds rather stupid, doesn't it. Making race the most important factor of your identity when there's no reason for it to be, (and re-institutionalizing discrimination based on race in order to make statistics look better) could result in the undoing of that all the progress that has been made. 2:00 And this is a beautiful look into the mind of critical race theory and why it doesn't work. It assumes a whole lot and accuses all it can of racism. So it doesn't care about truth. It is essentially an activist form of pseudoscience. The 'science' is to attempt to interpret statistics in the most damning ways, which any scientist can tell you is very easy to do, and not helpful in the search for truth.
Most important factor!? Jeremiah 17:9! Character not color! CHARACTER NOT COLOR! Bad ideas come from people of all colors. CHARACTER NOT COLOR! May God bless your search for TRUTH.
CRT like any scientific investigation begins with a question, then you do your analysis, develop a theory/proposed solution, do more research/analysis, develop hypothesis/possible solution, more research/analysis, confirmation or rejection, then action or start again. Instead of research racists do try to sell racism as just an excuse, but the facts say otherwise, and that is what scares racists about CRT.; it is factual. So they sell a bunch of low information citizens on the idea that their children in K-12 are being inundated with advanced college-level law and economic concepts. This charade would be hilarious if not so damaging to the country. Here we go again, civil war number 7.
@@olliemck60 Well if it were scientific in practice, people wouldn't have such problems with it. Obviously. But you knew that already. Of course you can't leave that be without calling anyone who sees it for what it is, a racist. The go-to of any CRT proponent.
Good teachers will address these questions as kids ask them. They will do their best. But if you discuss American History you have to discuss the history of American racism.

Went to school, it was in the history books. The CR Theory claims ALL white people are oppressors and ALL people of color are oppressed by white people. No redemption for either side. I'm never letting anyone tell my grandchildren they are oppressed by anyone.
This reminds me of the movie 'A Few Good Men' where the Jack Nicholson character lashes out and says, "The truth?, you can't handle the truth". In this case it is most of American society telling the GQP controlled state legislatures that they can't handle the truth about our country's history of slavery. Truth and reconciliation, folks, truth and reconciliation. The true history MUST be taught without revisionism or sugar coating.
You say the true history must be taught but this lady lies in her interview. She says African Americans did not get the vote for 70 years after the Civil War . which is a bold-faced lie in 1870 the 15th Amendment passed and all men got to vote. It took longer for women to get the vote but it was ALL women not just blacks. If you want people to believe the truth start telling the truth! Don't twist it so it fits your view..
@@billyinthed2958 Actually, Dr.Crenshaw is right; the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote but didn't remove any State laws that prevented black people from voting, so black women were excluded for a long time in many States. It was intentional to maintain the support of Southern white women. Just a little factoid that Reich-wingers think you shouldn't be allowed to learn.
No she is wrong. She implied all people of color did not get the right to vote for 70 years she didn't say anything about women not getting it. I am the one who made the distinction because of her lie.. And implying is misleading so it is a lie. And you shouldn't imply, mislead ,or lie to further your agenda.
what is ironic, is that CRT is not focused on the teaching of the truth of history as much as remediation of the damages that history caused. CRT does not care that slavery be called slavery or forced labor, the damage caused is the issue. I don't care if slaveowners are shamed or not or their descendants are blamed or not; the goal is the remediation of the damages.
Further, she refuses to admit that CRT requires everyone to assume that everything is racist. This creates a self fulfilling prophecy and strong confirmation bias by asking how does racism manifest itself and not whether it exists in any given situation
The rant against critical race theory is pointless given how it's a college elective course that grade schoolers will probably never be exposed to. It's just a new iteration of red meat alarmism like the call against Sharia Law, something else that most people will never deal with in their lives to begin with.

*Why/How they are lying* _“Critical race theory uses its terms in ways that trades off two definitions at once…so when they use a word like ‘critical’, for example, or a word like…even ‘race’, or a word like…say ‘racism’, they actually mean two things at once…that’s why it is that it’s never quite clear what anybody seems to be talking about with ‘critical race theory’…intentionally has been designed to use words in two ways at once and to trade in that equivocation…” (James Lindsay)_ *The definition, from critical race theory scholars* _“The belief that the fundamental organizing principle of society is racism (which they describe as a ‘system of racism')” (James Lindsay)_ Which translates in the thing they call ‘structural/material determinism’, racist systems of power which determine outcomes. Racism is such a system and they teach it to kids. In other words, Jim Crow wasn’t an isolated and overcome experience, it was part of a system and it’s still in place today, even if you don’t see it and they won't ever be able to define it for you. *How they hide* _“…a definition that it’s not theirs, theirs is that it’s a movement within scholarship and activists that challenges the prevailing notion between race, racism and power especially in law..” (James Lindsay)_ For the 'case in point' watch the video above. And it’s true, the origin is the legal system but it branched out everywhere. *EDIT (December 6 2021) - Christopher F. Rufo: **_*"LEAKED: CRT cofounder Kimberlé Crenshaw tells NEA president Becky Pringle that "critical race theory traditionally is a law school class," but is "now the huge container for anti-racist work [and] anti-racist education" in K-12 schools-vindicating my reporting over the past year."_*
You are twisting definitions in a disingenuous way. So CRT has never suggested that systems have absolute control over outcomes…it says that racism is normal and not aberrant meaning it’s not isolated to just one place time or thing…because it wasn’t. It doesn’t posit Jim Crow is still in place it shows that many of the laws of that era are still in place or new laws have cropped up to support certain outcomes. The most important thing is that CRT also says the law can be used to UNDO any racism…meaning the US system has the unique ability to correct itself…its actually a very patriotic view of government. ONLY the constitution allows Americans to make ANY CHANGES in law and puts the will of the people above even itself. It literally has a self destruct clause…
@@KK-ti5sq *”You are twisting definitions in a disingenuous way.”* It’s “THEIR” definition, CRT proponents, not mine. Even if quoting Lindsay, you can bet your house on it. For more enlightenment on “definitions” I would encourage you to go on their website “newdiscourses” and take a look at the carefully sourced from CRT literature cheat sheet they made (Lindsay et al.) for lawmakers. As I’ve already said, it isn’t limited to the legal system. *”…it says that racism is normal and not aberrant meaning it’s not isolated to just one place time or thing”* Yes, Racism is aberrant and isn’t normal, usually isolated to specific things, times, places, people and bahaviours, to be addressed specifically, in specific times, specific places, towards specific people, groups or behaviours. It wasn’t? It is now or at least it has been for a while. The burden to prove the opposite is on you (real, consequential, tangible proof) and colorblindness should be the goal we should strive for, all equal under the law at the purpose of having the same opportunities. Not outcomes, opportunities, and in those opportunities I even include the right to be healthy, which from a conservative point of view is considered “outcome”. *”It doesn’t posit Jim Crow is still in place it shows that many of the laws of that era are still in place or new laws have cropped up to support certain outcomes.”* In other words: Jim Crow is still in place today. But let’s say it’s true and let’s say CRT is limited to the legal system: - why don’t you just address those “specific” laws and put pressure on your local/national representatives to change them? - why don’t you address “specific” unequal treatments or systems and specify exactly how we should change them? It looks like there is a quite favorable administration at the purpose of reaching that goal; - why do you feel the need to educate and divide kids around the country on privilege and skin color, or people in general, when they do not see any of that? - why there are books around called “White fragility” on the unfalsifiable claim that white people are inherently racist and should walk on egg shells around victimized black people, unable to achieve anything in life without the guilty compliance of the white and unaware racist? By the way, concept completely rejected by black people; - and why the very influential author is being paid thousands of dollars to train employees on racist bias? In any case, I’m glad you want to eliminate “affirmative action” because it’s racism into law and discriminates against white and particularly Asian people. It has been specifically built to determine favorable outcomes for black individuals and other particular groups with no reason whatsoever other than arbitrary quotas which do not reflect representation in society, increases racial tensions and discourages meritocracy. Should we dismantle it? That's discrimination into law stuff. *”The most important thing is that CRT also says the law can be used to UNDO any racism…meaning the US system has the unique ability to correct itself…its actually a very patriotic view of government.”* No, it’s not the most important thing it says (read above) and the power of the law to “UNDO” anything isn’t unique of the US, not even remotely. It’s actually an idiotic and/or ignorant statement. There are many legislative systems around the world in advanced and less advanced democracies, all of which have the power to “UNDO” anything they want with the proper support and majorities. Of course, assuming that what you want to “UNDO” is all bad. For example, Italy is a Republic with one of the best Democratic Constitutions in the world which changed many times, like in the US, and they still use laws and codes put together during the Fascist regime but you don’t see “black shirts” walking around rounding up people. They would put you in jail and throw the key away. More or less, the same for Germany. *”ONLY the constitution allows Americans to make ANY CHANGES in law and puts the will of the people above even itself. It literally has a self destruct clause…”* Irrelevant. Read above. All Constitutions do, at least in western societies/advanced democracies. You know, and in the case, to change what you are talking about you just need to vote and elect someone with a piece of paper and a pen, then things would change forever. No kids needed, no books, no schools of thought, no dismantling anything, no skin colors, no CRT. You address injustice where it presents itself and it must be evident, not dreamed about.
@@johna.anderson922 Most Americans do not oppose systems that help give access to minorities who have been systemically shut out of opportunity which is what Affirmative action does…what people are against are “quotas” which are quite frankly a very crude form of Affirmative Action.

You can’t produce one statistic that shows that white people have lost ANYTHING due to laws that don’t favor them. No not all constitutions have a self destruct clause or function the way the constitution does and most of those democracies you are referring were influenced by the constitution. You also can provide NO PROOF that 1) Anyone is teaching CRT in K12 2) That CRT in someone way oppresses White people. I CAN however present empirical evidence to prove the negative impact of systemic racism in the current school system on black children specifically. I can also source empirical evidence that shows there is measurable bias and discrimination in medicine, the criminal justice system, and in the financial system. YOU CANNOT provide ANY empirical evidence that shows White people have been discriminated against systematically and it has resulted in negative impact on them as a group. It doesn’t exist. To that point you as a White supremacist do not like the fact that that in a few year the US will not be a white majority country and the systems that you people depend on to give you merit less advantages based on whiteness will be controlled by people of color.

Again you cannot provide any empirical study or evidence that challenges her work. As far as addressing specific laws that are oppressive it’s interesting that YOU aren’t doing that. You are on this thread doing just the opposite. So if you are so concerned about children and hate, you must have been vocal when we see multiple reports of WHITE teachers abusing black children. For example where were you when elementary school teacher held a mock slave auction in her classroom and made the only black children play the role of slaves while their white classmates bid on them? Or when white teacher is making black children lay in the floor under their desks so they could understand what it was like to be on a slave ship? Or when school districts spent MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to purchase text books that called slaves foreign workers. I guarantee either you ignored those things or you argued they weren’t racist.
@@johna.anderson922 However more to the point…being colorblind is also a white supremacist idea. First of all race as defined isn’t scientific it’s socially constructed. A persons color and culture like their gender is apart of their identity. Why should it be ignored? Being color blind is like saying all food should taste the same. Diversity of thought experience culture is what MAKES US HUMAN. But again the idea of constructing a system that discriminates based on those things is rooted in white supremacy. White people created the labels and definitions.
Just because you fail doesn't mean it's your skin color. If you can't take responsibility for yourself and your actions I pity you. Working hard and a bit of luck, you can make it.
it is not about failure but policies and practices. for instance, my black father a ww2 vet was not allowed to access his gi bill benefits in Oklahoma but his brother in California was. my black great-grandfather could not use the homestead act to acquire land, but 90 million white Americans benefitted from it. the issue crt addresses is systemic discrimination and its impact resulting from institutional policies and practices and has nothing to do with individual cases of success or failure.
An overwhelming majority of people who are passionately for or against anything, cannot give you a cogent, articulate description of what IT is, nor a rational explanation of why they are passionately for or against it. [Spoiler alert. ]
Any effort that places a focus on race is inherently racist. Theses latest efforts started off on the right track - - possible racial bias within law enforcement. It turned to systematic institutional racism which was step way too far. If the media doesn’t back down, any potential for progress will be squandered. I’ll argue the culprit is multidimensional but more a factor of wealthy urbanism than anything mentioned thus far by presumed serious persons.

Being lynched and having their land taken didn’t stop them from trying to buy more land knowing it could be taken away again. Knowing my history inspires us, as it has NEVER hindered me. I‘ve been passed over for promotions while those with less experience and ability were promoted. I had openly white racist teachers in the 70s in TX, but that didn’t stop me. So maybe the problem is your own mentality. The Bible didn’t leave out King David or Peter’s failure in the Bible. Good doesn’t hide the bad biblical history like the US does, because Jesus said we should learn from the past. How can people learn to do better if you hide history. They will be like Trump. For example, he says he doesn’t need to change, and that’s probably because no one has been brave enough to tell him about his past wrongs.

@@lookbovine ~ Exactly. She explained very succinctly what CRT is. BTW, this commenter is deliberately ignoring the complete title of this video, which makes it clear it is really about reactionary Reich-wing fear mongering for partisan gain by misrepresenting CRT to appeal to the worst elements and darkest natures of people in the GOP. It was not intended to be some kind of crash course on CRT.
Moreover, this commenter is disingenuously attributing a false equivalency, as Democrats aren't the ones trying to use it as a culture war wedge issue, only Republicans. And the lady being interviewed is one of the college law professors who cofounded CRT, not a political hack.
The commenter appears to engage in deliberate obtuseness, or willful ignorance, while confusing and conflating things. And one has to wonder, why?
It is an exact explanation. She is one of the founders. What more do you need to be said?
she did explain it but mostly a dictionary textbook definition. i know what you're TRYING to say, but you said it wrong. yes she didn't go over the detail and underpinning philosophies guiding crt. you'd have to read several books to get an understand of the subject really not a brief video, which is outside the scope of a news program.
She explained it well, you just choose to ignore
Can't they just explain what CRT really is? Instead of telling people "if you're against CRT, then you're on the wrong side"

@@justamoogle5268 ...The foundation that supports racism is legislation. The laws written to impose limits and prohibition on a specific group. Cascade down to the stigma that is imposed upon the specific group mentioned in the laws. The prejudicial outlook that ,"well since the law mentions "them" specifically, they must be the problem. Drop down another level to where the stigma has now become a societal norm, "you know they are...", "you better watch out for them because...". Then finally societal acceptance of the "others" being excluded, segregated, wrongfully treated, etc. From the basics I know, about CRT, it has reverse engineered that process to normalise progress in stabilising race relations. Primarily through education and again, legislation. Again, I have only familiarised myself with the 5 basic principles. I recommend you read at least that.

That has encouraged and driven us to collectively make positive changes whenever and wherever we can.

@@joshualovelace3375 AND….What’s wrong with that?? Anti racism is not Anti white, learning about how racism has affected Black Americans is not “ totalitarianism”. Wtf are u talking about?? We learned about your heroes since Kindergarten. Get over it
@@GrinchyGreen334 There are two concerns here. One is the content of the courses, the other is how they are implemented.
Anti-racism is not history. If you want to learn about the past you should study history via historiography. These courses are pseudo-disciplines with little to no rigor or accountability. Christianity has been around for a long time. Why don't we require students to take Christianity courses in public schools? The answer is that in public schools we shouldn't be requiring one viewpoint or religion over another. The second answer, why we don't teach creationism in science courses, is that it has metaphysical claims that can't be verified.
This leads to the second topic. Universities, historically, determine what courses they teach and the courses required for degrees. Academics and experts in each field determine the curricula and then design courses and programs. The State Senate has NEVER told universities what and how to teach - having a political authority, that lacks subject matter expertise, commanding by law that something be taught is absolutely totalitarian. Faculty and staff aren't voting on it. It is top down imposition by fiat. I'm pretty sure, if a conservative government required faculty to teach Christianity, they and the students would be right to resist the imposition.
@@joshualovelace3375 So how is the teaching of a religion the same as teaching factual historic events that are very well documented?? We have no idea what Jesus even looks like but we have pictures of people hanging from trees while surrounded by smiling white people on postcards. We have no idea what Moses looks like but we have whole documentaries about the Jim Crow era. We have proof that the Tulsa burning happened, we have proof that black people were enslaved and treated less than human. We have proof of the “Whites only” facilities. We have proof that I would have been considered Three Fifths of a man. It’s in article one section 2 of the constitution of the United States. We have proof of Housing, and voting discrimination against Black Americans. So how are u comparing teaching real life and actual documented events to a religion?? Every American is not Christian, y’all have to realize that, but every Black American knows or has experienced some form of racism at least once in their lives. You used all those eloquent words and still didn’t say shyt. If you want to learn religious doctrines then go to church where u can learn, Or study theology. It’s not the same and don’t insult my intelligence by making that type of false equivalency. If anything our experience here in America should be compared to that of the Holocaust, which gets no pushback being taught and is never as disrespected as Chattel Slavery. Gtfoh
@@GrinchyGreen334 You missed my point.
I'm saying one reason we shouldn't teach a religion as true is because we don't have evidence for it.
Chattel Slavery, Racism, Segregation, Lynching, Jim Crow, Redlining; all these morally reprehensible events happened and are historically verifiable. That is History because it can be verified. No sane historian would dispute this.
The question is: What do we do about it? We have identified historical problems: Tribalism and Racism. What now is the solution? Finding the best solution is the debate.

Before World War II, Charles Lindbergh typified American heroism with his daring flights, including the first solo transatlantic flight, and his celebration of new technology. He parlayed his fame and heroic stature into a leading role in the America First movement, which opposed America’s entrance into the war against Nazi Germany. In 1939, in an essay entitled “Aviation, Geography, and Race,” published in that most American of journals, Reader’s Digest, Lindbergh embraced something close to Nazism for America:
"It is time to turn from our quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. This alliance with foreign races means nothing but death to us. It is our turn to guard our heritage from Mongol and Persian and Moor, before we become engulfed in a limitless foreign sea."
The America First movement was the public face of pro-fascist sentiment in the United States at that time. In the twenties and thirties, many Americans shared Lindbergh’s views against immigration, especially by non-Europeans. The Immigration Act of 1924 strictly limited immigration into the country, and it was specifically intended to restrict the immigration of both nonwhites and Jews.
Once again, nationalism, aka fascism, has risen its ugly head in America, in European nations, and in some other countries around the world. The fight of good people against ignorance, the fears that sprout from it, the hate which then blossoms, culminating in the bitter toxic fruit of evil, senseless brutalities and deaths, is a constant, never-ending battle we fear, but it is a battle from which we must never shrink.
In this era, the likes of Toxic Trump and Marginalized Greene have become the face of the new "America First" fascist movement built up over the last four decades by the GOP, Reich-wing plutocrats, demagogues, and media. But, as with Lindbergh, the American people gradually come to recognize their dysfunctional poison and reject it. Most Americans understand, accept, and appreciate that the enduring strength of America is that we are a nation of immigrants and multiculturalism, a "melting pot" where the best ideas rise to the top, and superficial differences are meaningless in the face of our common humanity and purpose. Most Americans want competent leaders who speak truth, who strive to unite, who are not corrupt, who care about them. So, it should come as no surprise that President Biden is already receiving high marks from the public, while Toxic Trump never managed to rise above even a 50% approval rating.

@@janicebailey3507 ~ _'Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America'_ by Kathleen Belew (Harvard University Press, 2018)
The movement “brought together members of the Klan, militias, radical tax resisters, white separatists, neo-Nazis, and proponents of white theologies such as Christian Identity, Odinism, and Dualism” (ix). What was it about the movement that brought these ideologies together?
The promise of violence - rather, the promise that members would get to inflict violence on other people. Belew writes that as the white power movement matured, it became more violent, and “[as] violence came to the fore of the movement, distinctions among white power factions melted away” (60). Belew calls this process “violent community formation” (34). Yet as a social movement, Belew makes a distinction between the white power movement’s “revolutionary violence” and the Ku Klux Klan’s “vigilante violence.”
Vigilante violence “served to constitute, shore up, and enforce systemic power” (106). Given that the U.S. government has a long history of “defending vigilante violence by refusing to enforce the law” (99), law enforcement inaction and vigilante violence may be understood together as a case of one hand washing the other. Revolutionary violence, however, sought to overthrow the state. It is the white power movement’s goal of overthrowing the federal government that sets it apart in the history of white supremacy in the U.S.

CRT propaganda machine in full swing
Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.
The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.
A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants. Banks subsequently refused to offer mortgages to Black people in those areas.
something tells me this is not how its being taught...Did you know John Wayne grew up a democrat and then changed when he saw what was going on?
What I want to know is how and why a critical race theorists is the main scholar behind my young kids’ state-mandated critical pedagogy framework (culturally responsive sustaining education). If, CRT is so far removed from anything having to do with k-12, how is it that a scholar so well regarded in CRT circles (Gloria Larson-Billings), also has so much power on what is being taught in public schools? A “critical lens,” the frame work calls it. Understanding the world through a sole “critical lens” defined in the framework as systems of power dynamics and oppressor/oppressed binaries (page 8). How is this compatible with critical thinking, which requires individuals to understand and analyze multiple perspectives (i.e., lenses) at once?

No CRT is specifically a theory that engages in law. You're misrepresenting what it is. It was founded in law school and as explained in the video if you actually watched, engages with the legal outcomes of racism. CRT is not a nefarious new ideology, it's just another lens to view/critique the US legal system. This is another example of academic language and theorising becoming a target of those who want to wage a culture war.
@@salb5610 crt is an offshoot of critical legal analysis/theory which bases the differences between races solely because of white supremacy. Critical legal theory looks more a social and economic explains for legal outcomes. CRT is not limited to legal thought as it is being taught today. Don’t gaslight. When you teach that one group is an oppressor and one group is the oppressed based on skin color alone and use that to explain every difference between racial groups you have passed the line from legitimate legal theory into racial partisan politics. You know exactly why the left seeks to teach this in elementary school. It’s not because it’s some legal theory. I took critical legal theory in law school and I very much know the arguments. It’s not a look at history it’s a intentionally racist theory.
@@neonbible08 Again, CRT as an offshoot of CLT, looks at prejudices existing in the legal system.

Lmao this is a college level class. Trail of tears Harriet Tubman and Tulsa are not taught in schools. You can find out about it when you become an adult or by reading outside of class. If your child comes home and ask you about it more than likely they didn't hear it at school. 😂😂😂
African and black community-centric studies are usually taught in college because that depth of history is never taught at elementary, middle, and high school level educations. Why is this such a surprise to you? I don’t know where you went to school in the U.S., but history is only one course out of many that are taught at those education levels. Remember, there is a LOT of history that has to be crammed into that time slot. Crowding out more meaningful history to make way for Harriet Tubman and Tulsa is misguided and insane. Only a black supremacist would dare to make such a suggestion. If we’re going to start humoring the country’s racists in our education system, it will require granting white racists the same opportunity to highlight their personal heroes in history too (/s). That’s madness.
Education fundamentals SHOULD be the education priority at those levels of education rather than the black community’s self-serving political agenda.
@@ShadyCool more meaningful history? Who makes that determination? Harriet Tubman IS significant as were the Tulsa race riots within the historical lore of African Americans. Clearly your perspective reveals the issue in that you would consider such central figures and events within African American history which only exist due to white racism as insignificant. There is a reason that Tulsa represents a key moment within the history of black Americans and not others. I am certain that other minority groups have seminal moments to which history books have either ignored or dare I say whitewashed. How do you define black supremacy? If a teacher teaches about SNCC, Carter G. Woodson the Black Panthers, Nat Turner or Ida B.Wells, somehow they are racist because the curriculum is focused on black history? I would indeed suggest that the names just mentioned are unfamiliar to many middle and high school students yet there is no shortage of non minority historical figures that have been propagandized for generations in the minds of minority students.
To Danny Moua: Racism is not a strictly academic college-level subject. Unlike physics, science or calculus, there is no college-level and elementary-school-level racism. All children, both white and non-white, are learning about racism every day through direct experience, and the nature and quality of their experience is determined by their race. Looking into racism cannot be deferred until college, although children's fragile psyches must be taken into account. Long before college (if they end up going to college), children have already been deeply affected by racism, whether they understand it or not. That’s why critical thinking must be taught at an early age, not only with respect to race, but also with respect to everything.
@@ShadyCool
For me it is an error to state that “Crowding out more meaningful history to make way for Harriet Tubman and Tulsa is misguided and insane”. Teaching history is not a matter of cramming a lot of dates and names into innocent brains, is it? Isn’t history taught so that children might understand what shapes humanity, inhumanity, events and actions, and so on, which form the fabric of our lives or the quality of our societies? By excluding people and events such as Harriet Tubman and Tulsa from elementary school history, what is actually excluded is the fact of racism, which affects us all. It would be like excluding the entire industrial revolution from history - not just a particular inventor, invention, process, and so on, but its total impact and implications. Racism is interwoven into the cultural, social and political fabric of many (if not all) nations, not just the U.S. It is not just in the U.S. that a critical eye needs to be cast on what led to present-day divides and conflicts. Racism is not an incidental “side issue”. Whether or not it is taught in school, both white and non-white children are learning about racism through direct experience - and the nature and quality of their experience is determined by their race. That’s why it is critical that critical thinking must be taught at an early age, not only with respect to race, but also with respect to everything.

Hello there ☺️
Dude.
It's not about you. It's about a 400 year old system. Americans with their hyperindividualistic focus almost never think or see the bigger picture. It always comes down to "them" and/or their personal experience.
With that extremely narrow view, your country will either get to equality at glacial speed or not at all.
Unfortunately, with your history I think the smart money would be placed on not at all.
Hello 👋
@Tatt Bass remove us workers and you will starve
Are you an institution? The theory is about institutions not people. It’s not psychology, it’s legal history.
I wish that kids and adults would actually learn about CRC and intersection and how our legal system has impeded Racial Justice accross America?
Ms. Crenshaw...thank you!!!
@@fenwan2405 as I stated previously 🤣...CRT is a form of analysis that is primarily used in graduate studies like education, law, etc. Or think of it like logic...you study the principles of logic and you apply the principles of logic to legal writing/thinking or math. Simple stuff. I don't know why everyone is getting wedgies over this!😂😂😂

Read about Critical Theory everyone, the origin of CRT. Maybe you'll see that it's the same thing and they are gaslighting conservatives and liberals like myself who isn't a Marxist. Most people saying that others don't know what it is have a false perception of what it is because they are lied to by their own party members whom are further to the left. Like Critical Theory, CRT offers no solution and helps create divisions.

I got my degree in CRT years ago. Due to the negative presumptions of the field ...our professors worked us EXTRA hard. If we missed more than 2-3 days of class we would be dropped from the course compared to like 2 weeks of class for other majors. The legitimacy of CRT isn't up for "debate". It's simple...do you want students learning the historic judicial system of this country & the INHERENT racial biases embedded in it (which impacts the current status quo), or not?
Spot on!! It's amazing how people acknowledge that they are ignorant then publicly fight to remain ignorant, and want everyone else to be as ignorant! Just wow! But the thing about the younger generation is that you make something controversial, it becomes popular with them.

Did you know, btw, that the main scholar behind this type of culturally responsive educational frameworks (Gloria Larson-Billings) is a critical race theorists by any sound definition of that term? As part of the framework’s vision, it aims to make students “social politically conscious” (2 out of 3 of the framework’s bullets listed goals deal with sociopolitical themes).
This kind of framework is setting a precedent for any radical political group to politicize education (replace the framework’s “critical lens” for a “biblical lens” to give you an idea of how this would work). Not only that, by favoring a “critical lens,” the framework turn its back on the critical thinking ideals that should be the foundation of students’ education. Ironically, emphasizing a single narrow worldview above all others will not facilitate conversations on controversial topics. In other words, such framework is imposing an ideology on public school students (indoctrination).

CRT promotes the notion that the fact that a group is measurably superior is proof that everybody in that group is guilty; and, that a group being inferior is proof that everybody in that group is a victim.
Further: this principle projects through time; asserting that what happened to the long dead projects onto the guilt or victimhood of the living; even if the living never experienced it at all...........
CRT examines a measurably superior group or outcome and determines if any institutions, not individuals, used illegal or unfair practices and politics to tip the scale. And compounding not CRT says the impact can grow through time. Duh!!

Incorrect.
CRT presumes to divide the measurements by race.
Then it presumes any difference that is in favor of the wrong race is caused by racism.
Then it advocates race based legislation.
Then it looks at the measurements.

He would rip your empty talking heads to shreds.
What about Thomas Sowell.
Mehdi Hasan never disappoints - excellent guests and dialogue.
It’s funny how CRT experts are always so vague in describing what are some of the tenants or belief that the theory advocates for.
From what I’ve gathered they have these tenants
-racism is ordinary not rare
-race is a social construct-society places certain meaning to different racial groups either positive or negative.
-interested convergence=white voters won’t vote to stop oppressing black people unless their is some benefit to them
-counter storytelling/storytelling=challenge hegemonic narratives and centering minority views.
-intersectionality=I.e black women vs black men will have similar issues based on racism but different issues in terms of sexism.
Some of the founders such as Derick bells suggest that the authors of civil rights legislation from the 60’s knew that colorblind laws wouldn’t help black people and in turn create racial disparities=colorblind laws often have racist intentions.
If anyone reading this is familiar with CRT let me know how I did.
totally wrong, this is a summary a student turns in 5 min before the deadline if you were a law school student. Your response is biased af since your making yourself the victim. CRT analyzes how the United States history of racism is embedded in our laws and systems pretty simple, its not saying white people are inherently racist, that's you making yourself a victim. i thought dems were the ones with victim mentality but its the right that's always moaning about cancel culture, I have to laugh really
CRT is an advanced study. Go to law school to learn more about it.
You got 4 out 6, not bad; however, your prioritizing of CRT advocacy was shaky as you seemed to favor that over CRT's remediation of bias and racism goal.
So for grading:
You missed #2. convergence; it really relates to governments and institutions, not individuals; for example, the civil rights movement was helped by the cold war because the USA government was losing ground worldwide to Russian propaganda about USA apartheid so the USA reluctantly weakened segregation laws but not necessarily segregation. And while eliminating bias will help the country, depending on achieving racial equity by vote is far-fetched. AS, unfortunately, this country is not a democracy, otherwise, tRump would never have been POTUS, and racism would have been voted out long ago because the vast majority of Americans are NOT explicit racist.
You missed 6, because Derrick Bell came to know that what was believed to be the best course of just integration and voting was in HINDSIGHT wrong because reactionary forces reinstituted the racism in other ways. For instance, the goal in Brown v Board was better schools for black children, and that did not happen, especially in black neighborhoods; but some black students got access to better resources by being bussed out of their neighborhoods.
And even MLK was beginning to doubt the focus on just integration-based civil rights and started to emphasize economics, and that got him killed.
Bell felt that all they got was some integration and rights that were eventually diluted. And integration had negative impacts on black communities: 1. many societally enriched resources moved out of black neighborhoods, 2. it killed black businesses as black consumers diversified their purchases it attracted more affluent suppliers and there was no two-way street. In fact, it happened to my Uncle, who owned a small grocery store, after integration a big box seized the opportunity to come into the neighborhood, and that put him and all the other neighborhood grocers and suppliers out of business, except an Asian grocery store that carried ethnic-specific products.
But all in all, you did ok for a newbie. Just remember the tenets are important, but not as important as the goal, which is racial equity.
You didn't think the grievance industry was going to break their own rice bowls, did you?
Kudos for the 'Sand Pebbles' reference.
1:45 That's not entirely true. Or not true at all. It's not just asking questions. It's presuming to have answers. And the idea of "this method of color indifference only worked 80%, so in order to achieve 100% we will go the opposite direction" sounds rather stupid, doesn't it. Making race the most important factor of your identity when there's no reason for it to be, (and re-institutionalizing discrimination based on race in order to make statistics look better) could result in the undoing of that all the progress that has been made.
2:00 And this is a beautiful look into the mind of critical race theory and why it doesn't work. It assumes a whole lot and accuses all it can of racism. So it doesn't care about truth. It is essentially an activist form of pseudoscience. The 'science' is to attempt to interpret statistics in the most damning ways, which any scientist can tell you is very easy to do, and not helpful in the search for truth.
Most important factor!? Jeremiah 17:9! Character not color! CHARACTER NOT COLOR! Bad ideas come from people of all colors. CHARACTER NOT COLOR! May God bless your search for TRUTH.
CRT like any scientific investigation begins with a question, then you do your analysis, develop a theory/proposed solution, do more research/analysis, develop hypothesis/possible solution, more research/analysis, confirmation or rejection, then action or start again. Instead of research racists do try to sell racism as just an excuse, but the facts say otherwise, and that is what scares racists about CRT.; it is factual. So they sell a bunch of low information citizens on the idea that their children in K-12 are being inundated with advanced college-level law and economic concepts. This charade would be hilarious if not so damaging to the country. Here we go again, civil war number 7.

CRT is NOT history. It is disinformation and a lie to claim that CRT is black history.
CRT is a framework of interpretation.
This reminds me of the movie 'A Few Good Men' where the Jack Nicholson character lashes out and says, "The truth?, you can't handle the truth". In this case it is most of American society telling the GQP controlled state legislatures that they can't handle the truth about our country's history of slavery. Truth and reconciliation, folks, truth and reconciliation. The true history MUST be taught without revisionism or sugar coating.
We dont have slavery in the USA. Nobody is a slave. You want to create racial tensions in order to take down America.
You say the true history must be taught but this lady lies in her interview. She says African Americans did not get the vote for 70 years after the Civil War . which is a bold-faced lie in 1870 the 15th Amendment passed and all men got to vote. It took longer for women to get the vote but it was ALL women not just blacks. If you want people to believe the truth start telling the truth! Don't twist it so it fits your view..
@@billyinthed2958 Actually, Dr.Crenshaw is right; the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote but didn't remove any State laws that prevented black people from voting, so black women were excluded for a long time in many States. It was intentional to maintain the support of Southern white women. Just a little factoid that Reich-wingers think you shouldn't be allowed to learn.
No she is wrong. She implied all people of color did not get the right to vote for 70 years she didn't say anything about women not getting it. I am the one who made the distinction because of her lie.. And implying is misleading so it is a lie. And you shouldn't imply, mislead ,or lie to further your agenda.
what is ironic, is that CRT is not focused on the teaching of the truth of history as much as remediation of the damages that history caused. CRT does not care that slavery be called slavery or forced labor, the damage caused is the issue. I don't care if slaveowners are shamed or not or their descendants are blamed or not; the goal is the remediation of the damages.
Well now MSNBC can join CNN. 😂 😂
They have been 1 in the same for a while!!
Fun fact: the MS part of MSNBC means Microsoft owns it

*Why/How they are lying*
_“Critical race theory uses its terms in ways that trades off two definitions at once…so when they use a word like ‘critical’, for example, or a word like…even ‘race’, or a word like…say ‘racism’, they actually mean two things at once…that’s why it is that it’s never quite clear what anybody seems to be talking about with ‘critical race theory’…intentionally has been designed to use words in two ways at once and to trade in that equivocation…” (James Lindsay)_
*The definition, from critical race theory scholars*
_“The belief that the fundamental organizing principle of society is racism (which they describe as a ‘system of racism')” (James Lindsay)_
Which translates in the thing they call ‘structural/material determinism’, racist systems of power which determine outcomes. Racism is such a system and they teach it to kids. In other words, Jim Crow wasn’t an isolated and overcome experience, it was part of a system and it’s still in place today, even if you don’t see it and they won't ever be able to define it for you.
*How they hide*
_“…a definition that it’s not theirs, theirs is that it’s a movement within scholarship and activists that challenges the prevailing notion between race, racism and power especially in law..” (James Lindsay)_ For the 'case in point' watch the video above.
And it’s true, the origin is the legal system but it branched out everywhere.
*EDIT (December 6 2021) - Christopher F. Rufo: **_*"LEAKED: CRT cofounder Kimberlé Crenshaw tells NEA president Becky Pringle that "critical race theory traditionally is a law school class," but is "now the huge container for anti-racist work [and] anti-racist education" in K-12 schools-vindicating my reporting over the past year."_*
You are twisting definitions in a disingenuous way. So CRT has never suggested that systems have absolute control over outcomes…it says that racism is normal and not aberrant meaning it’s not isolated to just one place time or thing…because it wasn’t. It doesn’t posit Jim Crow is still in place it shows that many of the laws of that era are still in place or new laws have cropped up to support certain outcomes. The most important thing is that CRT also says the law can be used to UNDO any racism…meaning the US system has the unique ability to correct itself…its actually a very patriotic view of government. ONLY the constitution allows Americans to make ANY CHANGES in law and puts the will of the people above even itself. It literally has a self destruct clause…
@@KK-ti5sq
*”You are twisting definitions in a disingenuous way.”*
It’s “THEIR” definition, CRT proponents, not mine. Even if quoting Lindsay, you can bet your house on it. For more enlightenment on “definitions” I would encourage you to go on their website “newdiscourses” and take a look at the carefully sourced from CRT literature cheat sheet they made (Lindsay et al.) for lawmakers. As I’ve already said, it isn’t limited to the legal system.
*”…it says that racism is normal and not aberrant meaning it’s not isolated to just one place time or thing”*
Yes, Racism is aberrant and isn’t normal, usually isolated to specific things, times, places, people and bahaviours, to be addressed specifically, in specific times, specific places, towards specific people, groups or behaviours. It wasn’t? It is now or at least it has been for a while. The burden to prove the opposite is on you (real, consequential, tangible proof) and colorblindness should be the goal we should strive for, all equal under the law at the purpose of having the same opportunities. Not outcomes, opportunities, and in those opportunities I even include the right to be healthy, which from a conservative point of view is considered “outcome”.
*”It doesn’t posit Jim Crow is still in place it shows that many of the laws of that era are still in place or new laws have cropped up to support certain outcomes.”*
In other words: Jim Crow is still in place today. But let’s say it’s true and let’s say CRT is limited to the legal system:
- why don’t you just address those “specific” laws and put pressure on your local/national representatives to change them?
- why don’t you address “specific” unequal treatments or systems and specify exactly how we should change them? It looks like there is a quite favorable administration at the purpose of reaching that goal;
- why do you feel the need to educate and divide kids around the country on privilege and skin color, or people in general, when they do not see any of that?
- why there are books around called “White fragility” on the unfalsifiable claim that white people are inherently racist and should walk on egg shells around victimized black people, unable to achieve anything in life without the guilty compliance of the white and unaware racist? By the way, concept completely rejected by black people;
- and why the very influential author is being paid thousands of dollars to train employees on racist bias?
In any case, I’m glad you want to eliminate “affirmative action” because it’s racism into law and discriminates against white and particularly Asian people. It has been specifically built to determine favorable outcomes for black individuals and other particular groups with no reason whatsoever other than arbitrary quotas which do not reflect representation in society, increases racial tensions and discourages meritocracy. Should we dismantle it? That's discrimination into law stuff.
*”The most important thing is that CRT also says the law can be used to UNDO any racism…meaning the US system has the unique ability to correct itself…its actually a very patriotic view of government.”*
No, it’s not the most important thing it says (read above) and the power of the law to “UNDO” anything isn’t unique of the US, not even remotely. It’s actually an idiotic and/or ignorant statement. There are many legislative systems around the world in advanced and less advanced democracies, all of which have the power to “UNDO” anything they want with the proper support and majorities. Of course, assuming that what you want to “UNDO” is all bad. For example, Italy is a Republic with one of the best Democratic Constitutions in the world which changed many times, like in the US, and they still use laws and codes put together during the Fascist regime but you don’t see “black shirts” walking around rounding up people. They would put you in jail and throw the key away. More or less, the same for Germany.
*”ONLY the constitution allows Americans to make ANY CHANGES in law and puts the will of the people above even itself. It literally has a self destruct clause…”*
Irrelevant. Read above. All Constitutions do, at least in western societies/advanced democracies. You know, and in the case, to change what you are talking about you just need to vote and elect someone with a piece of paper and a pen, then things would change forever. No kids needed, no books, no schools of thought, no dismantling anything, no skin colors, no CRT. You address injustice where it presents itself and it must be evident, not dreamed about.
@@johna.anderson922 Most Americans do not oppose systems that help give access to minorities who have been systemically shut out of opportunity which is what Affirmative action does…what people are against are “quotas” which are quite frankly a very crude form of Affirmative Action. Yes Asians are subject to white supremacy which is why even they are more educated than white people there is still measurable disparity between them and their white counterparts. You can’t produce one statistic that shows that white people have lost ANYTHING due to laws that don’t favor them. No not all constitutions have a self destruct clause or function the way the constitution does and most of those democracies you are referring were influenced by the constitution.
You also can provide NO PROOF that 1) Anyone is teaching CRT in K12 2) That CRT in someone way oppresses White people. I CAN however present empirical evidence to prove the negative impact of systemic racism in the current school system on black children specifically. I can also source empirical evidence that shows there is measurable bias and discrimination in medicine, the criminal justice system, and in the financial system. YOU CANNOT provide ANY empirical evidence that shows White people have been discriminated against systematically and it has resulted in negative impact on them as a group. It doesn’t exist. To that point you as a White supremacist do not like the fact that that in a few year the US will not be a white majority country and the systems that you people depend on to give you merit less advantages based on whiteness will be controlled by people of color.
@@johna.anderson922 DiAngelo’s work on white fragility is NOT completely rejected by black people. Not that a group believing in something has ever been basis for determining whether something is valid when it comes to peer reviewed research. Again you cannot provide any empirical study or evidence that challenges her work.
As far as addressing specific laws that are oppressive it’s interesting that YOU aren’t doing that. You are on this thread doing just the opposite. So if you are so concerned about children and hate, you must have been vocal when we see multiple reports of WHITE teachers abusing black children. For example where were you when elementary school teacher held a mock slave auction in her classroom and made the only black children play the role of slaves while their white classmates bid on them? Or when white teacher is making black children lay in the floor under their desks so they could understand what it was like to be on a slave ship? Or when school districts spent MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to purchase text books that called slaves foreign workers. I guarantee either you ignored those things or you argued they weren’t racist.
@@johna.anderson922 However more to the point…being colorblind is also a white supremacist idea. First of all race as defined isn’t scientific it’s socially constructed. A persons color and culture like their gender is apart of their identity. Why should it be ignored? Being color blind is like saying all food should taste the same. Diversity of thought experience culture is what MAKES US HUMAN. But again the idea of constructing a system that discriminates based on those things is rooted in white supremacy. White people created the labels and definitions.
Just because you fail doesn't mean it's your skin color. If you can't take responsibility for yourself and your actions I pity you. Working hard and a bit of luck, you can make it.

Bs.
If that was the case the world would be filled with rainbows
You don't believe you're a 🌈?
it is not about failure but policies and practices. for instance, my black father a ww2 vet was not allowed to access his gi bill benefits in Oklahoma but his brother in California was. my black great-grandfather could not use the homestead act to acquire land, but 90 million white Americans benefitted from it. the issue crt addresses is systemic discrimination and its impact resulting from institutional policies and practices and has nothing to do with individual cases of success or failure.
@@olliemck60 That system is gone.
I think she explained this very well. It’s that simple!
Absurd and historically incorrect.
Has the media forgotten its job
An overwhelming majority of Americans are against teaching this. I guess they are all wrong and these race baiters are right.
74 million Americans voted for an insurrectionist. Do you think you can trust the masses? Thank God 8 million more preferred decency.
An overwhelming majority of people who are passionately for or against anything, cannot give you a cogent, articulate description of what IT is, nor a rational explanation of why they are passionately for or against it. [Spoiler alert. ]
@@carladehaas7866 Sorry, sweetheart. I am educated and more. I applaud your effort. I recommend trying it on the sheep.
Any effort that places a focus on race is inherently racist. Theses latest efforts started off on the right track - - possible racial bias within law enforcement. It turned to systematic institutional racism which was step way too far. If the media doesn’t back down, any potential for progress will be squandered. I’ll argue the culprit is multidimensional but more a factor of wealthy urbanism than anything mentioned thus far by presumed serious persons.
“…a positive white identity is an impossible goal. White identity is inherently racist; white people do not exist outside the system of white supremacy.” From White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, by Robin DiAngelo, p. 149.

Lie
The money is sweet.
did she say majoritarian? in a majoritarian society only the interests of the majority count and minorities don't get much.
I'm just learning about CRT; after hearing the repugs don't like it; I can assume this a good thing!
You should actually learn about it. Then determine if you agree with, not just based on what party you like.
@@ennieminee4470 Its something that's been around since the 70s and it's now used to brand things incorrectly as CRT in order to get white suburban voters. It's basically the boogey man.
@@chairmanoftheboard11 oh really, what’s your favorite thing about it? What are your thoughts on interest convergence?
@@ennieminee4470 I don’t study law or the subject so I can’t give you an educated answer. I just know the basic tenets and the things politicians are saying about it is not true. I don’t believe kids in high school or elementary should be taught CRT because it’s something that is very complicated and reserved for higher levels of education like legal studies such as Critical Legal Theory or mathematical theories such as Game Theory. Politicians are just using the word CRT to brand anything related to “wokeness” as a weapon for this so called culture war we are in. It’s being used for votes. It’s working but it’s not effective because they are not going to get any new voters because of the way they politic. They don’t know how to appeal to people as a whole, just the people who already agree with them. Trump made it worst. The party is desperate and this is how Donald Trump becomes a candidate and a theory from the 70s becomes an issue.
She said much the same on CNN. The problem is that she isn't saying what CRT actually is.
Ryan Chapman has a good video about it on RUclips.
It's clearly evident after looking at this comment section, Critical Thinking and any real knowledge of history is in very short supply here. The right-wing certainly has great fear and has a powerful desire to obfuscate the facts and history this construct is structured on for deep political and sociological reasons. This country in so many respects refuses to face itself.
Lol
The real problem here is that these days every other black kid has a white girlfriend. That's CRT for ya.
Susan Smith reference remains mr of being in the barber shop back when she accused a black man of kidnapping her children. We were not even buying that bs for a second....scapegoating is the way out for some people. Crt is the same thing. Man up at some point 👉👈👇
CRT is none of what you're trying to say it is! Talking about man up!!!!! You broke all treaties with the first nation people and still think people should trust you! Your a social psychopath and will end up the same way all ofthem do!
These two just said it's not taught in schools, is'nt that a lie. ????????????????
Yes teach 8 year olds about white privilege, instead of using that time to help weak students improve their grades.
Who helps kids improve their grades?? Oh wait,... you must live in a white suburb district where tutoring and special classes are available.. ain't no extra help at black inner city schools
@@stevethomas2435 where these white neighborhoods where tutoring and special training occur due to color your skintone?
Do these indiviuals parents pay or does thier so called white privilege cover expenses?
@@stevethomas2435 Why do u think I would say that if I didn’t grow up in the ghettos fool! U rather want them to teach children to blame all their future failures on something in the past or would u want teachers to help them improve their grades? Critical Race theory is not free, the same teaching hours can be used to help weak students after school.
@@bkit5 you probably also want confederate statues to still stand on government land too..
Math, Grammar, and Spelling are systems of white power and privilege. It is also epistemological and cultural violence to correct errors.
She's presenting her political agenda and the host lets her get away with it. He never confronts her deceptions. He's a travesty.
Can we finally drop the mic please? No, I knew it, just thought I'd ask. 🤣
It is taught "unfavorably" because it was one sided and we know truth cannot be one sided. As for reparations, then give the country back to the native American Indian.
Give the NATIVE back there country is right.not native AMERICAN INDIAN.
It just strikes me as REALLY WEIRD that you would go to the lengths to make a chart on how many times another channel mentions CRT.....
The charts weird & not what the chart shows? That's insane.
@@warpedjaffas1 In order for that chart to be real, they'd have to have someone watching fox 24/7 for months and months just ticking off boxes of what Fox is discussing. Seriously doubt that is happening. 😆
@@warpedjaffas1 Not to mention, Fox has a few network opinion shows, but most of the time, it's just news. Boring old news.

@@djjones5715 do you know about voice recognition? Like when you ask Google something on your phone? You use voice recognition software to detect key words & it records the amount of times it was said, on what day, time & show, once a month it collates all that into a chart. What's obvious is FOXY News is the propaganda arm of the GOP & therefore biased & an unreliable source.
Another term for "Critical race theory" is "Real American History".. 😂😂😭
I didn't really know about Critical Race Theory, so I just google it, and whoever came up with this is a genius! Critical Race Theory is a great idea.

She’s so ducking vague every time I hear her. If I didn’t already know in depth what critical theory was and read key points of Critical Race Theory I would have no freaking idea what she is talking about. That’s what makes me worried about all this.
Why default to race when critical thinking tho
Shouldn’t we still consider all aspects?
