@Chas-OTE Read the introduction to "Critical Race Theory: key writings that formed the movement". It's always funny that people get triggered when you tell them what CRT is, by quoting the scholars who created it. From Kimberle Crenshaw's introduction to that book: "Critical theory is an attempt by neo-Marxists intellectuals former new-left activists, and ex-counter culturalists who have moved beyond vulgar Marxism in order to oppose the classical liberal argument that race is irrelevant to public policy. With its explicit embrace of race consciousness CRT aims to reexamine the terms by which race and race consciousness have been negotiated into race consciousness, and to revive the radical tradition of race consciousness." It's a radical Marxist political movement, so it wears a liberal skin suit for the fools in the mainstream media. You're making fun of yourself, if you know that it's Marxist.

Critical race theory has nothing to do with excluding books for "coarse language". You can count on the American media to give a BS take. CRT is a neo-Marxist analysis of race by black scholars who split off from Critical Legal Studies because CLS were white. CRT opposes the liberal ideal that race should be irrelevant to politics, public policy, etc. In other words, it opposes the liberal view that society should be race neutral, and is from a black identity point of view. Its founder Derrick Bell opposed school integration. Another paper in the collected writing I have, Garry Peller laments that racial integration will lead to the death of black culture. The main stream media is lying about it, Oliver included. CRT is anti-liberal.

You only have to read the introduction to Kimberle Crenshaw's reader "CRT: key writings that formed the movement". It's neo-Marxist black nationalism. All these progressive media commentators, like Oliver, are fools. They think it's liberal anti-racism. It's completely different. It's in opposition to the liberal, anti-segregationist, anti-racist civil rights movement.

You only have to read the introduction to Kimberle Crenshaw's CRT reader to know that John Oliver, along with the all of MSNBC, are either useful idiots or lying. CRT is in opposition to the liberal civil rights movement. It's a program of Marxist black nationalists.

@Dos_Caffeine CRT isn't law. It's a neo-Marxist racial sociology by black nationalists, that seeks to counter the liberal consensus on civil rights -- that race should become irrelevant to politics and society. Oliver is giving the useful idiot version, that it's liberal anti-racism.

The media is totally lying about it. Just look up a standard text "Critical Race Theory: Key writing that started the movement". It's Marxist radical critical theory, that opposes the liberal view that a race neutral, where race is irrelevant, is the goal. The first paper, by Derrick Bell opposes school integration. This is a total self-own in the making by media liberals. Because CRT is anti-liberal. And the public is just now catching on.

That's not what CRT is. CRT is a neo-Marxist race analysis from a black identity point of view, that opposes the liberal goal of a race neutral society. I'm still kind of glad leftoids are lying about it. It just means they will lose more elections in the coming years. Even in San Francisco woke whack job school board members, who called Asians "white supremacists" were booted.

That's a strawman. People don't like CRT because it's neo-Marxist black nationalism. John Oliver is totally ignorant of the topic.

Andrew Sokolowski That's the deal. They're not just making kids uncomfortable by telling them about slavery, they're telling kids that they're guilty because of their race. CRT is a Marxist analysis of race, from the black identity point of view, and it judges people based on race. Nobody is guilty of something they had nothing to do with. BTW history doesn't make me uncomfortable. I know more about the Third Reich than any other historical European government, because it's the most interesting in its extremism.

@OfficiallyBlind That's the sanitized watered down version that the media gives. It's a neo-Marxist analysis of race in society from a black identity point of view, that opposes the goal of a race neutral, integrated society. That's why it's blowing up in their faces. The founder, Derrick Bell opposed school integration.

@OfficiallyBlind I'm surprised that the mainstream Democrats and media are digging in on it. The normal, non-racist, American holds the liberal view on race politics, that race is irrelevant to public policy, and public life. CRT opposes that. And actually mirrors white nationalists.

@OfficiallyBlind It doesn't sound like you're talking about the same thing. CRT isn't about statistics and history. I have a volume "CRT: key writings that formed the movement" The first paper by D. Bell, argues against racial integration of schools. Another paper by Gary Peller laments that racial integration will lead to the destruction of black culture. It's black identity politics. It's exactly what white nationalists think from the point of defending their race.

@OfficiallyBlind It's not "binging what's going in America to light." CRT is a political movement. It's a neo-Marxist black identity politics. Not even all black people identify with it, because most aren't Marxist, and not everyone identifies with race identity politics, just as not every white person is a white nationalist. Even in San Francisco a couple woke crazies were booted from a school board after calling others "white supremacists".
