If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Damn Divisive Critical Race Theory
Unity Consciousness #2488

(9axr of 11)

What white people mean when they say “critical race theory is divisive.”
Critical race theory helps divide people from the illusion of white superiority and black inferiority.
Critical race theory wakes people up to truth, thus makes them “woke.”

White people are also saying:

White goodness and civility is a false notion critical to maintaining white and black obeisance and maintaining acquiescence to the stats quo of racism by keeping people focused on individual aspects of the system rather than the true cause, the entire system, its federal and state constitutions and their institutions.

It's garbage logic when whites say critical race theory is about labels and stereotypes and that critical race theory teaches kids that we should judge others based on race, gender, or sexual identity, rather than the content of someone’s character.” This objection and false claim is being made even though governments, their media and businesses are all about collecting demographics based on race, gender, age and so on, labeling and dividing people.
At the same time, white people want black folks to consider themselves American and be proud of it.

Truth is, noncritical race theory is what is currently being taught by most education systems worldwide.
There is a long list of garbage logic statements being spewed by the confused. These can be easily defused, exposed and seen for what they are. For instance, the confused claim critical race theory teaches people to hate America. The confused do not say that the current education curriculum teaches people to love America (blind love without assessment leads to a continued acceptance of flaws because love for a country is merged with identity and self-esteem). The confused are most afraid of critical thinking. They do not want facts examined, compared and contrasted to allow people to come to evidence based conclusions. They want a court case where only the defense gets to speak. They want their beauty to be judged based on the make-up they wear and to never be viewed without makeup. Critical race theory only seems shocking to one side of the divide because noncritical race theory has been just as shocking to the other side who continue to be denigrated, harmed and suffer from all the things undeserving favored groups claim critical race theory will subject them to. Regardless of their insistence and resistance, turnabout is fair play.

Non-critical race theorists are the many bad people who prefer to stay asleep because they can't handle the truth. As opposed to the critical race theorists who are the relatively few good people who want to be awakened (woke) to, with and by the truth.

An academic perspective on Critical Race Theory origins as a legal construct.

“Critical Race Theory is an academic field of study that emerged from the work of scholars such as Derrick Bell and KimberlĂ© Crenshaw. Much of Critical Race Theory centers on race in the context of legal and institutional power and has become immensely influential in the debate over diversity and inclusion within universities, legal institutions, and corporate boardrooms. Critical Race Theory is neither akin to communism nor is it a generalized curriculum employed uniformly across public school settings.” https://www.blackagendareport.com/critical-race-theory-debacle-signals-collapse-american-empire

CRT is not a racialist ideology that declares all whites to be privileged oppressors, and CRT is not taught in public schools.
CRT describes the shortcomings of conventional civil rights approaches to understanding and transforming racial power in American society.
The common starting point of our analysis is that racial power was not eliminated by the successes of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. https://www.blackagendareport.com/critical-race-theory-opponents-are-just-proving-our-point-us
