Critical Race Theory…

*believes racism is present in every aspect of life, every relationship, and every interaction and therefore has its advocates look for it everywhere
*relies upon “interest convergence” (white people only give black people opportunities and freedoms when it is also in their own interests) and therefore doesn’t trust any attempt to make racism better
*is against free societies and wants to dismantle them and replace them with something its advocates control
^only treats race issues as “socially constructed groups,” so there are no individuals in Critical Race Theory
^believes science, reason, and evidence are a “white” way of knowing and that storytelling and lived experience are a “black” alternative, which hurts everyone, especially black people
^rejects all potential alternatives, like colorblindness, as forms of racism, making itself the only allowable game in town (which is totalitarian)
^acts like anyone who disagrees with it must do so for racist and white supremacist reasons, even if those people are black (which is also totalitarian)
^cannot be satisfied, so it becomes a kind of activist black hole that threatens to destroy everything it is introduced into
