  31.  @conorpodonoghue  I have a BA, 2 MAs, a Ph.D., and a published book. My point is not that you should take me at my word, but that if you take the presenter of this video at his word, you accept that he doesn't have an academic background in this; he decided to do some "research" and make a presentation. I say I do know what it is. I have known about it since long before Christopher Rufo made it a negative watchword for the conservative media. I know it is more complex than the video dude (who admits it is new to him) is leading you to believe and that his depiction is slanted and inaccurate. You don't have to believe me--but having been confronted by the possibility that he is misguided, you should take his own word for his ignorance and look much deeper, if you really want to understand it. I'm not going to make an argument because I'm not a Youtuber, and nobody is paying me to use my time (and it would take a LOT of time) to explain something most graduate students and law students don't even understand. It's esoteric. It's boutique. It's worth multiple books, hundreds of papers, thousands of academic seminars and conversations, all of which challenge and contradict and intertwine with each other. It's not fully-formed. It's not easily-digestible. It's not reducible to a listicle, or even a Youtube video. It is the varied and multiple answers to the question: "why is there still racism in societal outcomes after multiple laws and a social movement acted to address structural discrimination?" That's neither an easy question nor one that has been answered yet.

  73.  @conorpodonoghue  but it doesn't help. It's just fed you a bunch of bad information that leads you to follow a destructive, anti-intellectual political agenda whether you realize it or not. Not teaching the history of slavery doesn't help anyone. Pretending pronoun usage is some subversive CRT trick to undermine the ego stability of straight white people is just a ridiculous manipulation of ignorant people to attack people that aren't like them. The agenda behind the anti-CRT hysteria is to pile everything Republican voters don't like about education (which isn't what CRT is even about) and call it "CRT," then tell them it all has something to do with teacher's unions so you should vote for Republicans to save Western civilization. It's all nonsense, which depends on the voters believing lies about a jurisprudential theory virtually no one had ever mentioned outside academic discussions until Rufo discovered it a few years ago and projected everything he fears and hates into it. It's a trick. A sleight of hand. It's a con job, a grift. Like the "think system" in the Music Man. It depends on people believing that there will be instruments eventually. It's not entirely a fiction, because instruments do exist. But the pretense of learning to play without them is a con that allows the grifter to take the money for nothing. CRT exists. But it's not what the right says it is, and the "think system" of Youtube isn't teaching it to you. You will never learn it because the point of the con isn't to teach it to you. The point of the con is to take your money and your votes and pretend to teach it to you. As long as you keep believing you're learning, you'll stay with the con, and you'll do what the maestro says. But you'll never actually learn anything because the con man can't play the instruments either.
