Critical Race Theory

What is Critical Race Theory? 

Critical Race Theory, or CRT, is an academic and legal framework that denotes that systematic racism is part of American society — from education and housing to employment and healthcare. Critical Race Theory recognizes that racism is more than the result of individual bias and prejudice.

What is Racism?

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.  It is the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

Here is the problem with CRT...

Because CRT uses the phrase systematic racism, it can no longer pertain to just American Blacks or Blacks in America because systematic racism by its own definition includes ALL MINORITIES.  This means that CRT MUST INCLUDE:  Native Americans, Jews, Irish, Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians, Hispanics, and Asians.

Why do I make this claim?

Whites comprise 60% of the American population, THEREFORE, all races less than 60% are considered minority races and must be included in the definition of RACISM.

My impression of what CRT is supposed to accomplish is to attack the white population of the USA because their ancestors at one time practiced SLAVERY.

The BLACKS that are promoting CRT are not including all the other minorities because they do not want to include all the other minorities because they are only interested in punishing the white people because of slavery.  Blacks and CRT could care less about all the other minorities since they were not involved in slavery.

Without all those other minorities, it will be difficult to prove that systematic racism exists in the US of America.

However, as a WHITE MALE, I would have to say that there is a negative attitude towards BLACKS which could be construed as a prejudice, but I don't think the prejudice is actually a byproduct of slavery.

Whites prejudicial attitude towards the BLACKS is predicated upon the behavior of blacks in a given area, location, or state.

I went to high school (overseas), college, and was in the military with BLACKS and had no problem with them nor they with me.  Not only did we learn or work together but we socialized as well.

I had no problems with BLACKS during my entire working career of 45 years in the southern states of NC, VA, KY, SC, and TN.  I had no problems with BLACKS when I went on vacations on the east coast, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Alaska, or Mexico.

All negative interactions with BLACKS came in the big cities of Atlanta, Washington DC, Baltimore, Chicago, and NYC.

As far as minorities are concerned, I have had very little interaction with Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Native Alaskans, or Native Hawaiians.

As far as SYSTEMATIC RACISM existing in the US of America, I don't see it and I don't believe it exists at all.  HOWEVER, there is a growing HATRED in both the BLACK and WHITE communities for each other.  This HATRED is perpetuated on both sides.  It is not just the WHITES.

Whatever is going on between the WHITES and BLACKS is REAL and it does EXIST and it is getting WORSE...  but, it is not RACISM...  give it another word if you will, but RACISM does not apply.
