Anyone who thinks critical race theory teaches that white people are inherently racist knows nothing about critical race theory. CRT is not about personal racism at all and has nothing to do with white people, as people, in terms of bias. It's about systems and structures (1)...
The whole point of CRT is to explore how racial inequity and white institutional dominance can remain such ubiquitous realities even w/ reductions over time in overt racial hostility and even in the presence of civil rights victories (2)...
By the way, these are the same questions conservatives ask, but their answer is: it's bc there's something wrong with Black people. They don't mind the question CRT asks. They just don't like answers that point back at the system and society. They want to blame Black people...
So rather than debate the topic in good faith, they seek to any discussion of racism, by labeling it "anti-white" by definition. Which is absurd. In doing so they have adopted the mantra of literal Nazi groups, who have long said "anti-racism is anti-white." Congrats y'all...
You have now made common narrative cause with open fascists and white supremacists, but by all means, tell me again how we're the racists?
And ironically, if you say anti-racism is anti-white you are, ipso facto, saying that white and racism go together. Once you take the anti- off each side of the equation, what's left? Hmmm, fascinating isn't it?
