My! Such a deep thinker, you are.
What is the Republican alternative to Obamacare?
I'll give you that one. But this is why I call myself a conservative and not a Republican.
If only it were really that simple of a narrative.
In fact, the truth is, CRT is an epistemology that runs counter to the norms and values that this nation was founded on. To it's core, it is anti-American.
Common themes
Common themes that are characteristic of work in critical race theory, as documented by such scholars as Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, include:
- Critique of liberalism: Critical race theory scholars question foundational liberal concepts such as Enlightenment rationalism, legal equality, and Constitutional neutrality, and challenge the incrementalist, step-by-step approach of traditional civil-rights discourse;[12] they favor a race-conscious approach to social transformation, critiquing liberal ideas such as affirmative action, color blindness, role modeling, or the merit principle;[28] and an approach that relies more on political organizing, in contrast to liberalism's reliance on rights-based remedies.
- Storytelling, counter-storytelling, and "naming one's own reality": The use of narrative (storytelling) to illuminate and explore experiences of racial oppression.[29] Bryan Brayboy has emphasized the epistemic importance of storytelling in Indigenous-American communities as superseding that of theory, and has proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribCrit).[30]
- Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress: Criticism of civil-rights scholarship and anti-discrimination law, such as Brown v. Board of Education. Derrick Bell, one of CRT's founders, argues that civil-rights advances for black people coincided with the self-interest of white elitists. Likewise, Mary L. Dudziak performed extensive archival research in the U.S. Department of State and Department of Justice, including the correspondence by U.S. ambassadors abroad, and concluded that U.S. civil-rights legislation was not passed because people of color were discriminated against; rather, it was enacted in order to improve the image of the United States in the eyes of third-world countries that the US needed as allies during the Cold War.[31][full citation needed]
- Intersectional theory: The examination of race, sex, class, national origin, and sexual orientation, and how their combination (i.e., their intersections) plays out in various settings, e.g., how the needs of a Latina female are different from those of a black male and whose needs are the ones promoted.[32]
- Standpoint epistemology: The view that a member of a minority has an authority and ability to speak about racism that members of other racial groups do not have, and that this can expose the racial neutrality of law as false.[1]
- Essentialism vs. anti-essentialism: Delgado and Stefancic write, "Scholars who write about these issues are concerned with the appropriate unit for analysis: Is the black community one, or many, communities? Do middle- and working-class African-Americans have different interests and needs? Do all oppressed peoples have something in common?" This is a look at the ways that oppressed groups may share in their oppression but also have different needs and values that need to be looked at differently. It is a question of how groups can be essentialized or are unable to be essentialized.[33]
- Structural determinism: Exploration of how "the structure of legal thought or culture influences its content", whereby a particular mode of thought or widely shared practice determines significant social outcomes, usually occurring without conscious knowledge. As such, theorists posit that our system cannot redress certain kinds of wrongs.[34]
- Empathetic fallacy: Believing that one can change a narrative by offering an alternative narrative in hopes that the listener's empathy will quickly and reliably take over. Empathy is not enough to change racism as most people are not exposed to many people different from themselves and people mostly seek out information about their own culture and group.[35]
- Non-white cultural nationalism/separatism: The exploration of more radical views that argue for separation and reparations as a form of foreign aid (including black nationalism).[29]

And, which founder was the most prominent classic or foundational liberal philosophers?
We just want you crybaby motherfuckers to tell the fucking truth.
The Fox News Guest Behind the Republican Frenzy Over Critical Race Theory
A year ago, Christopher Rufo was an obscure documentarian. Now, he’s being invited on Tucker Carlson’s show to gin up fears of Marxism in America.newrepublic.com
"Last September, an obscure, 36-year-old documentarian named Christopher Rufo landed a slot on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Knowing the president would be watching, he sounded the alarm about an ideology almost as obscure as he was: “critical race theory.” In the months since Rufo’s TV appearance roughly a dozen states from Idaho to Tennessee have passed or considered legislation banning critical race theory from schools and government institutions -- with a likable moderate in the White House, the task for operatives like Rufo is to gin up evidence of an overwhelming conspiracy everywhere else.
The single greatest threat to the Republican Party is its newfound electoral weakness in the suburbs; in order to regain strength in those areas, especially during a midterms; the conservative movement must convince suburban voters that the other side represents an unthinkable Marxist menace. As in the days of Joseph McCarthy, the question is not whether the menace exists but who can be made to believe it exists."
So as usual, the conservative strategy isn't to craft policies that are more popular with the American people and gain more support that way -- it is as usual; to manufacture faux outrage and fear because they know their policies suck....The previous Conservative boogeymen use to be desegregation, then when they lost that battle....it was womens' rights/abortion...then it was gay rights/gay marriage....now the new boogeyman is CRT...and to basically call anything that makes conservatives uncomfortable, CRT...how do I know? Because they admit it....
View attachment 499587So he is basically admitting the strategy is to call everything critical race theory....which is why Conservatives have such a hard time explaining to you what CRT is...because to them, it is literally everything that frightens them culturally...
The reason why they have to keep manufacturing fake outrage after fake outrage is also not a secret.....because Conservatives know that their policies suck and do not have wide support...nobody is rushing to the polls to vote for lower capital gains taxes on hedgefund managers -- but they will definitely do it to stop whatever made up "boogeyman" conservatives have told them to be afraid of or mad at....No wonder Lady Lindsey said what he said....

No, it's the truth.
If we hadn't spent a bunch of money on bombs your grandmother would have been raped by Germans and your mother raped by Russians...
As I have been saying...Outside of obscure academia there IS no CRT. It's manufactured outrage
Dipshit, it’s not political before it’s intelligent to boycott the racism of CRT. Did you not learn anything about the anti-democracy pre-emptive racist statement, ‘black lives matter?’The Fox News Guest Behind the Republican Frenzy Over Critical Race Theory
