If you simplify CRT you get to your conclusions. IF you look more closely you will that those pushing it are trying to bring a conversation into society ... a conversation about how we look at people of a different race. Have they pushed it too far ... perhaps. Yet the conversation has to happen one way or another.
Perhaps we can ignore the concept of white privilege ... meaning that perhaps we can put it off further .... yet even the tax laws were designed for our benefit ... take capital gains ... in 1921 Southern Democrats got together with that one and reduced taxes for people with money ... the privilege of already having money allows us to pay lower taxes .... creates more of an advantage for the divide of wealth .... transfers economic growth upward to the most wealthy. Too complicated? Sorry.
Point = CRT as a concept ... trying to bring racism into a conversation .... perhaps its gone too far .... but the conversation taking place has to be embraced. Our history is our history and rewriting it makes no sense.
