... close but not accurate. What % of Americans do you think could explain what CRT is?Originally Posted by BillyCarpenter
Why is CRT a uniquely American controversy?
It's not fucking "close", it's 100% spot on. What you're talking about is liberal spin in the media and by liberal politicians.

Why should he. You're the self appointed know it all.
Better question. How many US citizen do you know, other than bsm2 and ZOOTECH, that agree with your far left view of the US citizens.
Read this. It doesn't sound like your lame definition at all
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.

Today, those same patterns of discrimination live on through facially race-blind policies, like single-family zoning that prevents the building of affordable housing in advantaged, majority-white neighborhoods and, thus, stymies racial desegregation efforts.
CRT also has ties to other intellectual currents, including the work of sociologists and literary theorists who studied links between political power, social organization, and language. And its ideas have since informed other fields, like the humanities, the social sciences, and teacher education.
This academic understanding of critical race theory differs from representation in recent popular books and, especially, from its portrayal by critics—often, though not exclusively, conservative Republicans. Critics charge that the theory leads to negative dynamics, such as a focus on group identity over universal, shared traits; divides people into “oppressed” and “oppressor” groups; and urges intolerance.
Thus, there is a good deal of confusion over what CRT means, as well as its relationship to other terms, like “anti-racism” and “social justice,” with which it is often conflated.
To an extent, the term “critical race theory” is now cited as the basis of all diversity and inclusion efforts regardless of how much it’s actually informed those programs.
One conservative organization, the Heritage Foundation, recently attributed a whole host of issues to CRT, including the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, LGBTQ clubs in schools, diversity training in federal agencies and organizations, California’s recent ethnic studies model curriculum, the free-speech debate on college campuses, and alternatives to exclusionary discipline—such as the Promise program in Broward County, Fla., that some parents blame for the Parkland school shootings. “When followed to its logical conclusion, CRT is destructive and rejects the fundamental ideas on which our constitutional republic is based,” the organization claimed
That's my boy. You my boy.
You've finally moved off your false pretense that CRT isn't being taught anywhere and we're now arguing the definition of CRT. Thanks for wasting so much time with your bullshit.
Do you support CRT being taught in grammer school? A simple yes or no will suffice. Please don't drag us down your road of lies and deception again. Just answer the damn question.

Good boy. Your right wing overlords are proud of you
I really don't care. It's only the idiotic right wing morons who are afraid of their own shadows who actually are worried about it.
Critical race theory draws a line. On one side are the oppressors and on the other side are the oppressed. White kids on one side and black on the other. Can a 2nd grader understand that?
