Enemies of CRT are simply in denial and want to deny history and the social/economical reality derived from the history.
What a bunch of crap coming from the liberal educator and we pay for these teachers to brainwash people
At least the left is acknowledging that its OK to judge people by the color of their skin again. Back to the good old days.
When I hear critical race theory my head would like to pop off my head. How about train people to be empathetic and not violent. Teach non-violent communication and accountability.#loveconquershate
Sure is funny how CRT isn’t tolerated in the Military. It’s Marxism.
Its no nice to hear someone criticize CRT that isn't a full on republican that just wants to bitch about the left. CRT is nuts and I'm on the left. I've agreed with Trump on one thing and that is this needed to be banned. Unfortunately Biden reinstated it.
If the Black professor(Hasan Jeffries)thinks that a America is such a no good racist country, then he should leave, renounce his citizenship, and move to a country whose foundations he feels are inclusive enough and otherwise meet his standards of social justice, otherwise he is a hypocrite.
The sheets are being pulled back on the delusion of Amerikkka’s greatness….and we see it’s mostly lies and filled with hate….. CRT makes them uncomfortable ….. esp bc they always dehumanize other to justify their crimes against them….
No more benefit of the sou BG after centuries on centuries and generations upon generations….
Gonzales is just a portrait apologist…. he’s avoiding the real issue deflecting to
“Punctuality and rationale”…. what a pos!
Bit connnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeectttt!!
Agreed critical race theory is un-American as america is a racist as Apple pie
Why is Ibram X Kendi in the thumbnail? Is he a critical race theorist? Is this conversation even about critical race theory? We are inserted into the middle of this conversation so it is hard to tell 🤷‍♂️
Critical race theory says every facet of culture is 'socially constructed' to benefit white supremacy. Everything including math, science, individualism, objective truth, free speech, the Enlightenment period (the list goes on). Bill Gates literally said "math is racist." The students at Pomona College said "objective truth is a myth espoused by white supremacists."
Critical race theory is illiberal and anti-intellectual.
This insanity needs to end.

Wow, it's amazing he was able to have this conversation on NPR.
If you oppose any particular issue on critical race theories, simply explain your own version of why those theories shouldn't apply.
If not, listen to. There's a problem and these theories open a door to explain the problem in order to solve the problem.
The truth is there are no inferior races.
Hope no one tells this guy, not Mike but the useful idiot, that slavery was the norm worldwide and America was among the first on earth to outlaw or even question the morality of it.
Well shouting 'critical race theory' simply is a slezy unified efforts to modify the discussion of white supremacy/ racism. Critical race theory broken down: https://youtu.be/sRPnG3Wg_tQ
Racism being called cannot be silenced! nor dismissed because some random white person May /perhaps, feel uncomfortable- guilty, for 10 minutes! By the mirror discussion of bias- destructive America REAL history! critical race theory is hogwash stated mildlyâť—
You can't fight racism with racism I don't even understand how that has to even be questioned instead of trying to use racist views to force on children and young adults why don't you just focus on making better productive people on society because you say you're against the caste system that you feel is in place but then you still want to create a racial caste system where things are delegated by race and gender or have people play victims because of their skin tone and then try to guilt an entire race past mistakes by their ancestors that they weren't even around to see people's skin is not their sin racism has always been taught down and you're still trying to keep on teaching if you legitly want people be treated like equals or not judge people by their skin tone then stop judging other people for their skin tone that they had no ability control
Also the other thing is really annoying as people want to make it seem like only black Americans were slaves if you're talkin about strictly America then you're probably right but if you're talking about all the other corners of the world every race has had to deal with slavery or oppression at some point ancient Rome didn't care what skin tone you were if you weren't of royal decent you would be fighting in the Colosseum to the death for people's entertainment and it didn't matter if you were white or black you were going to die fighting for your freedom all the same
The only people who ever tried to viciously shame me for their perception of my skin color were so called 'anti-racists'/CRT activists. They don't even see the irony of trying to shame someone for their skin color. This stuff foments nothing but cynicism and hate.
What needs to work about crt? Its just a theory.
Gonzalez is right, of course, but he didn't make his point well. He argued from a couple of legitimate examples but failed to rebut the premise that CRT was about happy inclusiveness and happy diversity, instead of a totalizing ideology that views the world as competiting ethnic power structures.
I’m Hispanic and I’m absolutely abhorred at the mincing of words to explain the evil of CRT. CRT is an oxymoron. Pretending to fight racism by being racist. It’s like antifa practicing fascism as they boast of being against it. True education and learning real history is key. How about treating all humans as humans. No.. I don’t need a PhD social justice worrior to teach me common sense. I can see their true colors. (no pun intended)
My parents immigrated to the U.S. to be able to get ahead and taught us to work hard to accomplish our goals in life. Self-hating and wallowing in self-pity of any race is disgusting. It creates a victim mentality that prevents an individual from moving forward by blaming their failures on someone else.
Sounds like marxism rehashed with postmodernism's there is no truth, only power claim.
CRT proponents teach that "punctuality" is a white concept….that's ridiculous! They are insulting black people, as well as bringing our nation down by teaching that punctuality is actually a BAD thing.
CRT is reaching, BADLY REACHING, in a desperate attempt to not blame black people themselves for black underachievement in America.
racist is real … more from blacks than any other skin color
CRT in Texas put a Middle Schooler in a Chicken Coop Cage.
CRT is a cheap excuse to defend / protect the esteem of the minority
They think that comparing them selves in the light most favorable to them will elevate them
They can NOT get over CRIME – EMOTION – INTELLECT -DNA – etc despite what the media says cause the media is Fake news and not believable ???
Thus the CRT is proof that their esteem is nagging at them
Its also DISCRIMINATORY ???????
Critical Race Theory is Only American History. Prove me wrong!!!
