Up until two days ago, the wiki entry for Critical Race Theory stated that there were three elements of CRT and that acceptance that white supremacy exists was one of those.

I of course used this to criticize CRT adherents since acceptance of such a notion on faith is equivalent in exact terms of belief in the fucking easter bunny.

Well I guess someone didn’t like it so they barfed up a bunch of chow meow that doesn’t define anything.

You see if you can make sense of this word salad:

Critical race theory

Critical race theory (CRT) is a theoretical framework or set of perspectives by which structural and institutional racism may be examined.[1] It developed as an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists in the United States who sought to critically examine U.S. law as it intersects with issues of race in the U.S. and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice.[2] CRT examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism in the United States[3][4] and elsewhere in the world.[5][6][7]

CRT originated in the mid-1970s in the writings of several American legal scholars, including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.[2] It emerged as a movement by the 1980s, reworking theories of critical legal studies (CLS) with more focus on race.[2][8] CRT is grounded in critical theory[9] and draws from thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, and W. E. B. DuBois, as well as the Black Power, Chicano, and radical feminist movements from the 1960s and 1970s.[2]

CRT emphasizes how racism and disparate racial outcomes can be the result of complex, changing and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices by individuals.[10][11] It also views race as a socially constructed identity[10] which serves to oppress non-white people.[12] In the field of legal studies, CRT emphasizes that merely making laws colorblind on paper may not be enough to make the application of the laws colorblind; ostensibly colorblind laws can be applied in racially discriminatory ways.[13] Intersectionality – which emphasizes that race can intersect with other identities (such as gender and class) to produce complex combinations of power and disadvantage – is a key CRT concept.[14]

Academic critics of CRT argue that it relies on social constructionism, elevates storytelling over evidence and reason, rejects the concepts of truth and merit, and opposes liberalism.[15][16][17] Since 2020, conservative lawmakers in the United States have sought to ban or restrict critical race theory instruction along with other anti-racism programs.[11][18] Critics of these efforts say the lawmakers have poorly defined or misrepresented the tenets and importance of CRT and that the goal of the laws is to silence broader discussions of racism, equality, social justice, and the history of race.[19][20][21] CRT has since 2020 been seen as part of the "culture wars" in the political landscape of the United Kingdom[22] and Australia as well.[1]

Definitions

Roy L. Brooks defined critical race theory in 1994 as "a collection of critical stances against the existing legal order from a race-based point of view".[23] Richard Delgado, a co-founder of the theory, defined it in 2017 as "a collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power".[24]

Now I think I’m a fairly bright guy with very strong reading comprehension skills. I also spent a good portion of my adult life playing poker at a decently high level, mixing my lily white ass with the utter dregs of society. I’ve got a real good eye for bullshit. And I can’t see this pile of wretched verbiage as anything but.

Liberalism is how we got our Constitution and bill of rights. Don’t be so slavish to the conservative doctrine that you toss the baby out with the dirty bathwater.

Just edit it back, isn’t it driven by users?

1. CRT's are obsolete. We have been using flat panels for decades now.

2. "Critical Race Theory" is a scheme by descendants of slave-owners (both white descendants and "black" descendants) to create a carve-out for benefitting themselves: a carve-out among blacks would benefit the "blacks" who were actually descended from slave-owners (having sex with usually female slaves) at the expenses of both real 100% blacks and whites who are/were not derived from former slave-owners; suppressing the relatively poorer and middle-class whites also benefit the white descendants of slave-owners.

It's still there. Try drafting anti black papers that used racial justice.

ALL Critical Theory assumes that Enlightenment Rationality is a bad thing - a tool of bourgeois oppression etc. It's literally cultural marxism.

Critical Race Theory is simply a subset of that.

I'd buy puts on Wikipedia if it were trade-able.

Wokeness leads to brokeness, especially if people start moving to the smaller competitors in large numbers. So I wouldn't buy any of the FAGAT companies or Netflix. Or maybe I'm wrong there, and we will complete our descent into Soviet style centralized ownership and mass censorship. But then the Left will just kill me and you anyway, to prove how loving and tolerant they are.

Wikipedia Co-Founder Warns: ‘Wikipedia Is More One-Sided Than Ever’
BY JACK PHILLIPS July 5, 2021

Larry Sanger, a co-founder of Wikipedia, warned that the online encyclopedia is “more one-sided than ever” in light of the website’s entries for Black Lives Matter, the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump’s two impeachments, and other contentious topics.

Critical Race Theory in a Nutshell.

We should all be ashamed of ourselves for being superior than a Democrat.
Fuck they don't deny it either, they know we outclass them in everyway. So they want us to stop it, stop right there. Stop being so damn good!

Pascal would agree with you.

He wants to be great, and he sees himself small. He wants to be happy, and he sees himself miserable. He wants to be perfect, and he sees himself full of imperfections. He wants to be the object of love and esteem among men, and he sees that his faults merit only their hatred and contempt. This embarrassment in which he finds himself produces in him the most unrighteous and criminal passion that can be imagined; for he conceives a mortal enmity against that truth which reproves him and which convinces him of his faults. He would annihilate it, but, unable to destroy it in its essence, he destroys it as far as possible in his own knowledge and in that of others; that is to say, he devotes all his attention to hiding his faults both from others and from himself, and he cannot endure either that others should point them out to him, or that they should see them.

CRT is grounded in critical theory[9] and draws from thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci





I had to ask gab.ai where that quote was from, and it came up with a plausible answer:

"Gramsci expressed this idea in his work "Prison Notebooks," specifically in Notebook 11, §55."
