Critical race theory is the latest battleground in the culture war. Since the murder of George Floyd last year, critical race theory’s key concepts, including “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” and “white fragility,” have become ubiquitous in America’s elite institutions. Progressive politicians have sought to implement “antiracist” policies to reduce racial disparities, such as minorities-only income programs and racially segregated vaccine distribution.

The ideology has sparked an immense backlash. As Americans have sought to understand critical race theory, they have discovered that it has divided Americans into racial categories of “oppressor” and “oppressed” and promotes radical concepts such as “spirit murder” (what public schools supposedly do to black children) and “abolishing whiteness” (a purported precondition for social justice). In the classroom, critical race theory-inspired lessons have often devolved into race-based struggle sessions, with public schools forcing children to rank themselves according to a racial hierarchy, subjecting white teachers to “antiracist therapy,” and encouraging parents to become “white traitors.”

Alarmed state legislators have pushed back. In recent months, lawmakers in 24 states have introduced, and six have enacted, legislation banning public schools from promoting critical race theory’s core concepts, including race essentialism, collective guilt and racial superiority. Parent groups around the country have mobilized to oppose critical race theory in the classroom, arguing that it cultivates shame in white students and fatalism in minority students. According to a recent YouGov survey, of the 64% of Americans who have heard about critical race theory, 58% view it unfavorably, including 72% of political independents.

That’s a major liability for the political left. Sensing that they are losing control of the narrative on race, left-leaning media outlets have launched a furious counterattack. Liberal pundits at the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC and elsewhere have begun spinning a new mythology that presents critical race theory as a benign academic concept, casts its detractors as right-wing extremists driven by racial resentment, and portrays legislation against critical race theory as an attempt to ban teaching about the history of slavery and racism. All three charges are false.

First, critical race theory isn’t an exercise in promoting racial sensitivity or understanding history. It’s a radical ideology that seeks to use race as a means of moral, social and political revolution. The left-leaning media has sought to portray it as a “lens” for examining the history of racism in the U.S., but this soft framing obscures the nature of the theory, which maintains that America is an irredeemably racist nation and that the constitutional principles of freedom and equality are mere “camouflages,” in the words of scholar William F. Tate IV, for white supremacy. The solution, according to prominent exponents of critical race theory such as Ibram X. Kendi, is to abolish capitalism and install a near-omnipotent federal bureaucracy with the power to nullify any law and silence political speech that isn’t “antiracist.”

Second, the grassroots movement against critical race theory is nonpartisan, multiracial and mainstream. Parents have revolted against critical race theory training at high schools in liberal cities such as New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The most successful campaigns have been led by racial minorities who oppose the manipulative and harmful practices of critical race theory in the classroom. Asian-Americans in particular have argued that critical race theory will undermine merit-based admissions, advanced learning programs and academic standards.

Third, state legislation about critical race theory bans a specific set of pedagogies—not teaching about history. Left-leaning media outlets have claimed that bills in states such as Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas would ban teachers from discussing racism in the classroom. This is patently false. The legislation in these states would simply prohibit teachers from compelling students to believe that one race “is inherently superior to another,” that one race is “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive,” or that an individual “bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race.” The same bills explicitly say that teachers may and should discuss the role of racism in American history, but they may not shame or treat students differently according to their racial background.

This issue isn’t going away. Critical race theory has taken a dominant position in many elite institutions, including public-school bureaucracies and the graduate schools training new teachers and professors. Parents, honest journalists and lawmakers should continue to combat the wave of misinformation, share stories about the damage critical race theory is doing to their communities, and develop a plan to combat it in local institutions. Critical race theory is a dangerous ideology that will take the nation into racial retrograde; Americans should have no hesitation in opposing it.

Virtually all self-loathing White Democrats and many Republicans brimmed with white guilt voted in favor of erasing a part of White history on Tuesday for the sake of the virulently anti-White 12% of the population. I would like to zoom in on Rep. Gozar who not only opposed this heinous bill but has been conversing with Nick Fuentes - a young bright star in the White nationalism movement. America needs more politicians like Gozar who don't impulsively shun the Na-Z generation in the fear of being ridiculed or cancelled. Hopefully, their private talks were productive in furthering the conservative dream of a White ethnostate. Similarly, DeSantis has made great strides in Florida lately in reversing the deleterious effects of anti-White indoctrination, but it's not remotely enough to cauterize the wound inflicted by the pernicious disease known as liberalism. Whiteness is on its last legs in America - wake up, people.

Three of Arizona's four House Republicans voted Tuesday against banning Confederate statues from the U.S. Capitol in an issue shaped by the Jan. 6 riot and GOP pushback on discussing systemic racism.

Reps. Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar and Debbie Lesko were among the 120 Republicans who opposed a bill that the House of Representatives passed 285-120.

Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., was one of the 67 Republicans who voted with nearly all House Democrats to direct officials at the Capitol to remove statues of three supporters of racial division.


It also would swap a bust of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, who wrote the 1857 Dred Scott opinion declaring people of African descent were not U.S. citizens, with one of former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was the first Black justice on the high court.

The measure, similar to one that passed the House by an even wider margin last year, heads to the Senate, where it could require a 60-vote supermajority that includes 10 Republicans to be considered. Last year's bill failed to move in the Senate, which was in Republican control at the time.


Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., called the vote an easy one.

"Today’s vote is a no brainer, there is no room for celebrating or honoring bigotry and hatred inside our temple of democracy,” she said in a written statement. “The hallowed halls of the United States Capitol must reflect our highest ideals as a nation: freedom, justice and equality. That is why, today, I voted to take this important step to right the wrongs of history by removing monuments to white supremacists and leaders of the Confederacy from the Capitol. I am also proud to support the replacement of the bust of the racist Chief Justice Roger Taney with a bust of civil rights hero Justice Thurgood Marshall.”

Biggs, however, said history can't be changed by replacing statues.

"This is being done to try to erase history," Biggs said in a tweet explaining his vote. "You will not be successful at erasing history by removing monuments and statues. If we fail to remember history, we will be doomed to repeat it. That is something that has me concerned."


Biggs urged Congress to let the states determine who they want to represent them in the Capitol.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., argued that the vote came as Democrats seek to press what conservatives call "critical race theory" to deepen racial animus.

"All of the statues being removed by this bill are statues of Democrats,” McCarthy argued.

It was a point Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., quickly mocked in a tweet.

"Oh snap!! You got us!!" said Gallego, who voted to remove the statues, along with Arizona's other four House Democrats.

The bill specifically would ban statues of Charles B. Aycock, the former North Carolina governor who advocated for racial segregation; former Vice President John C. Calhoun, who was a staunch defender of slavery; and James P. Clarke, a former senator and governor of Arkansas who believed in white supremacy.

Representative Paul Gosar wants to extend the rightward boundary of the Republican Party coalition and bring it right up to the edge of open Nazism.

Gosar announced last night that he is holding a fundraiser with Nick Fuentes:



There is a tendency on the left to engage in label inflation, collapsing the spectrum of thought on the right by shoving ever greater numbers of conservatives into the “white nationalist” slot. But Fuentes is the genuine article. He is a leader of the “Groypers,” a far-right, anti-Semitic group that could best be described as Nazi-adjacent. Fuentes is known for engaging in Holocaust denial, but in a teasing, “ironic” way that provides a razor-thin sheen of deniability.


Of course, sometimes politicians or their staff slip up and allow themselves to make contact with some controversial figure whose objectionable views they aren’t aware of. This is not one of those instances. In February, Gosar appeared at an America First Political Action Conference organized by Fuentes. (AFPAC is conceived as an even more right-wing alternative to CPAC — a difficult category to imagine, if you have any sense of how loony CPAC is.)

This event briefly caused an uproar. Gosar formally denounced “white racism,” but then proceeded to explain why he had reached out to Fuentes in the first place. “We thought about it, and we thought: There is a group of young people that are becoming part of the election process, and becoming a bigger force,” Gosar told the Washington Post. “So why not take that energy and listen to what they’ve got to say?”


After his latest outreach to Fuentes was announced last night, Gosar publicly and forcefully defended his rationale. He believes Fuentes and his Nazi fellow travelers are an important part of the party’s coalition, and he can and should work to bring them into the Republican coalition.

Motivational speech from Nick Fuentes - a prominent figure in the White America First movement. Stay strong! Be proud!

-----

On Friday evening, with his longtime friend and fellow white nationalist Tim Gionet (aka Baked Alaska) facing felony charges over breaching the Capitol building, Fuentes said how pleased he was the events of Jan. 6.

"I am unapologetic. I thought the Capitol [riot] was awesome; it was awesome! And so was Trump. And Trump was awesome because he was racist. Trump was awesome because he was sexist," Fuentes stated. "The only thing Trump wasn't awesome for was being antisemitic; he wasn't antisemitic."

"But the rest was awesome. And people have got to get racist," he added.

Kenyan-born war-criminal-in-chief Barry Hussein is somehow in the top 10 while Trump who outperformed in every aspect imaginable is within the top 5 worst. And, you wonder why DeSantis is trying to silence these self-loathing liberal arts academics who spread detrimental idealogies and falsehoods in order to sway the youth away from conservatism. I'm sure it's a coincidence that Barry is rated higher than the recent former White presidents..right? Imagine triviliazing one's accomplishments due to race. We had a real White patriot in the White House who was making America great again, and China and the Democrats ousted him with the help of the virus and by easing restrictions on mail-in ballots. These aforementioned groups abhor this country and truly want it to fail because Blacks were happier before the 1960's.

Historians rank Trump near bottom of U.S. presidents, Obama rises into top 10

Historians hold Trump in the lowest regard of any president since Reconstruction, according to a new survey

Former President Donald Trump was ranked near the bottom of a new list by historians surveyed on who they believe the best U.S. presidents are, and received the lowest leadership grades of any commander-in-chief over the past 150 years.

It was Trump's first appearance on C-SPAN's Historians Survey of Presidential Leadership, with the one-term president ranked 41st out of America's 45 former executives.


Rated by a group of over 140 historians, the survey ranks former U.S. presidents on 10 different leadership qualities, such as "public persuasion," "international relations" and "crisis leadership." Since 2000, C-SPAN has taken the survey after every change in White House administration.


On Wednesday, C-SPAN tweeted that the 2021 survey saw a 50 percent increase in the number of historians participating, and a big jump in the diversity of respondents — as defined by demographic information such as race, gender, age and philosophy.

The results of this year's survey indicate the divergence between Trump's standing among academics and how his followers have viewed his presidency — historians hold him in the lowest regard of any president since Reconstruction, yet he continues to hold an iron grip on leadership of the GOP and remains a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination.


He is also the only president ever to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives.

The historians rated Trump as the worst president in history on two of 10 leadership qualities: "moral authority" and "administrative skills." His strongest grade is for "public persuasion," in which he was ranked No. 32.

Barack Obama, meanwhile, rose into the top 10, climbing from No. 12 in C-Span's 2017 survey.


In individual leadership categories, Obama was ranked in the top 10 overall for "moral authority" and "economic management," and ranked third in history for "pursued equal justice for all," behind only Lincoln and Johnson.



Other modern presidents with notable standings include Ronald Reagan, who ranked No. 9; Bill Clinton at No. 19; George H.W. Bush at No. 21 and George W. Bush at No. 29.


The only president forced to resign, Richard Nixon, is rated No. 31— ten spots above Trump.

he is right about white board being far superior to black boards

Tl;dr

Thanks for posting this, really a concise and neat summary on CRT. Also, it's reassuring to see basically the same arguments I've made over the past couple of days regarding CRT mirrored in a reputable publication.
