Critical Race Theory and the anti-racism movement based off of it are dogmatic and racist, there is no other way to describe them.

How else do you describe something that focuses on and highlights the differences based solely on skin colour? CRT's focus is to divide not bring together.
Ideas like Whiteness are abhorrent. Telling school children that being on time is acting White is child abuse.

Chapter 1 of the book Acting White is titled Why Act White, followed by talking White. It speaks of how Obama acted White. I remember when racists would say that black people were acting uppity and acting white and that was called racism, rightfully so.
When it was done before, it was called racism because it said that Whites were better than Blacks and Balkcks were trying to act above their station. Now when it is used White is derogatory and Black people are told not to act like the "bad" people, this is the same mentality.
Then take the Idea of White ways of knowing here is a thread I did on this nonsense. https://twitter.com/obaidomer/status/1231789436859506688
Some of the ideas that have sprung out of spin-off ideologies like Colonial Theory are that the slaves who were brought over to the US were part of the colonizing force and helped to colonize the US and commit genocide on the indigenous people, who exactly is this helping.
Take this opinion piece from the NYT about 4 black girls attacked by 2 South Asian boys & apparently this was due to Whiteness. How? This doesn't solve the problem, it's racist towards White people & it is also racist towards those two boys, it denies them any free thought/agency
Or this story about how Jews after suffering horrific attacks during Hanukkah shouldn't give in to Whiteness in their response, this after an attack by a Black man. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/hanukkah-anti-semitism-requires-response-we-cannot-fight-hatred-more-ncna1108771
This is being taught in schools. Most people would be enraged if fundamentalist religion was being taught to their kids, but are blithely going on when their kids are being indoctrinated into this Dogma.
The colonial thing, White colonialism is vilified all the time, and it has done a lot of bad. There was some good that came out of it as well but those don't get mentioned. Islamic colonialism is never mentioned because it is perpetrated by Brown people.
Check out this thread about how Islam is still wiping out cultures today., as it has done for the past 1400 years. https://twitter.com/AniaAden/status/1230552345131372546
Recent brutal examples of Islam wiping out cultures are the Taliban destroying the Bamyan Buddhas & looting and destroying museums. Isis did the same in the Levant & they destroyed the ruins at Palmyra.

In Mapping the Margins Crenshaw brought up some very good points but by linking her ideas to dogma she did not map the margins she Gerrymandered them so now racism and oppression of the vulnerable is permissible.

Audre Lorde wrote about the master's tools not bringing down the master's house but the tools that CRT uses are the oldest most brutal tools to silence people. https://twitter.com/obaidomer/status/1220835693007646720
Yale is cancelling an art course because it is too White. Instead of bringing in art from other cultures so that students can be enriched buy it they scrap the whole enterprise.
We need to focus on what unites us not what divides us. We should stop wasting time trying to figure out how race plays in every situation because in most it doesn't.
