Semantics. Critical Race theory is correct. I mean we can look at the 3/5th's compromise to start with to prove the correctness of this theory. I suggest people study the theory and stop listening to right wing whites with an agenda.There is a difference between Critical Theory and critical theory.It has nothing to do with Marxism. Honestly, can’t you morons come up with something better than the same old same old?
...Critical race theory has not been around for 100 years...
It seems that Western Civilization just wouldn't buy into the beautiful Utopia that 20th Century Marxists had been desperately trying to sell them.
So "Critical Theory" was created by Frankfurt School ideologues and specifically designed to convince Western Capitalists to join in their Marxist Utopia.
It all began in Frankfurt Germany in 1923. Caution; reading the links below will scare any sane, rational, freedom loving person to death...It's pure Orwellian.
Herbert Marcuse (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
The Frankfurt School has had an enormous impact on philosophy as well as social and political theory in the United States and around the world. In the 1960s Marcuse ascended to prominence and became one of the best known philosophers and social theorists in the world.
Frankfurt School and Critical Theory | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
The Frankfurt School, known more appropriately as Critical Theory, is a philosophical and sociological movement spread across many universities around the world. It was originally located at the Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung), an attached institute at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. The Institute was founded in 1923 thanks to a donation by Felix Weil with the aim of developing Marxist studies in Germany. After 1933, the Nazis forced its closure, and the Institute was moved to the United States where it found hospitality at Columbia University in New York City.
You people need to stop being so damn gullible and start researching the ideo-political propaganda and indoctrination that you're being spoon fed by radical ideologues, universities and the MSM...This aint rocket surgery boys and girls.
A critical theory (lower-case) is a way of examining society by reassessing its institutions and baked-in ways of doing things, in order to allow its people more freedom from the parts of society that are keeping them down. It's a broad term that can apply to lots of different aspects of society, so lots of different groups of people use critical theories to develop their ideologies, and get their message across.
Critical Theory, in initial caps, refers specifically to the thinkers of the Frankfurt School, who were using those methods to combine politics with psychology and reassess the whole world along the lines of Marx and Freud. They were not the only ones who used critical theory to develop their Critical Theory. Get it?
I know it's somewhat stupid and confusing, but historians do this a lot. You come across it also when you're discussing fascists and Fascists, or democratic and republican compared to Democratic and Republican.
So, yeah.
[Critical Theory] and [Critical Race Theory]
- both use -
(critical theory)
as a template to form their own ideas,
but they're not the same thing.
If you want to get super-nerdy, here's some more about it.

Chattel slavery is an ineffecienct system
Racism is not important to society. Without black america, the rest of us would be better off
The south would be better off if they never had slaves
Low wage workers are always more effecient, irrelevant of their color.
The narcissm required to believe that you as descendants of illiterate slaves are key to this country is just absurd.
THe founding sin is the genocide of the native americans. Black slavery is just a quirk of our histroy. And whites do not think about you nearly as much as you imagiine. THey do not give a fuck about you. Which makes critical race theory absrud. Most of the shit they do, you never entered their mind. Especially in the north, where all the power is.
