"common"
I have seen CRT activists ARGUE over liberalism.
All CRT is, is marxism for race, instead of class. Everything else is up to the individual teaching it; as this is isnt an actual
curriculum.
I saw an activist for LatCrit that said CRT was racist against other races and went to blame blacks for latino suppression.
The whole thing is a bunch of extremist
opinion. Thats why i call it malleable.
Some of what you say is true, but it really is a bit more complex than that.
I had a multidisciplinary focus at Uni.
I had studies in Anthro, Philosophy, and Polisci. . .
I have studied Critical Theory in Philosophy and I have studied In-Group/Out-Group behavior in Antro and biology.
What you are saying about Critical Race Theory's links to the Frankfurt school is not wrong. On the other hand? There is some scientific foundation in the theory linked to biological facts about culture and how different subgroups within different population groups act toward each other. This is grounded in statistical studies, and is not limited to humans, it is found in other primates, birds, and many other animals.
Even within the black community, both here in America, and in Africa, because both European and American culture has basically won the planetary culture war, there is this thing called, "colorism," within their OWN communities. . . For folks that study the phenomenon of In-groups/Out-group relations, you begin to understand, that formal institutions cannot change the very nature of human beings. All we can do? Is educate our selves to be our higher selves so that we are aware of our own implicit biases.
Many anthropologists have theorized that the caste system in India was partially based, centuries ago, before the US was even a thought, on the skin tone of a person.
Though the Caste system is gone, colorism still is a plague in the Indian community as well.
The Women and Public Policy’s faculty, research fellows, and students are committed to advancing women and gender equity globally.

“All of our communities have been fed anti-Blackness,” one expert said. "And it takes us stepping back and examining our own history.”

You cannot separate the often painful stereotypes of colorism from misogyny and the sexual exploitation inherent in American slavery. To combat it we need to speak about it

Our thoughts, feelings, and actions can be influenced by social cues even when we do not want to be influenced. Implicit bias, as a behavioral phenomenon, is and will remain real.
www.psychologytoday.com
An implicit bias is any unconsciously-held set of associations about a particular social group.

Now, for anyone that is familiar with history, or has read Utopian and Dystopian literature, or has a broad multidisciplinary education, with a keen understanding both the limits of government and human nature?
I would think they would know by now, it just isn't possible for governments change the biological and sociological nature of people. The best we can do is make our law, is for it to treat everyone equal. And the best we can hope for in our society, is to make ourselves aware of our own implicit biases, so that we do not act on them.
If those pushing CRT just want to make folks aware of their implicit bias? I have no problem with that. OTH? If they want to actually make laws that try to redress historical wrongs? They do not understand human nature, nor how it will create a reactionary backlash among those who have less access to education, or have less inclination to inform themselves.
Thus, institutionalizing CRT into law and government institutions, will, in the end, create more racial strife and conflict than what it seeks alleviate.
