"CRITICAL RACE THEORY"
AN UNSCIENTIFIC EXCUSE TO DISMANTLE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ORIGINS OF WHITE PRIVILEGE, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND INSTITUTIONAL RACISM
The "Critical Race Theory" evolved from Black studies and studies of racism and race relations. It has grown as an accepted part of studies in the fields of Education, Political science, Women's Studies, Communications, Sociology, and African American studies. It has become ingrained in many Universities and has been pushed to be taught in business and government as part of diversity training or awareness.
Professor Derrick Bell, author of,"Race,Racism,and American Law" ,1973, formerly of Harvard University attempted to incorporate these studies into Harvard Law School, it was rejected and in 1980 he became the dean of the University of Oregon School of Law. Is it just coincidental what we now see in Oregon?
It is the primary source of phrases "White Privilege","Institutional racism", Whiteness as property, Microaggression and has been expanded to studies focused on any racial group except for White or Jewish.
Its primary theories are based on anecdotal stories of racism and perceptions of any racial group who feels the system is unfair to racial minorities in America. It seems to encourage white people, especially women, to feel guilty about their own race.
This "Theory"contends that the present laws and institutions in the United states are based on customs, practices and laws of White culture that enforce racism and White supremacy. Adherents believe that the system results in a lack of quality education, sound housing, gainful employment, healthcare and a clean environment for people of color.
The off shoots of this theory is that the United States constitution, laws, customs, practices and general history are all based on the perpetuation of white dominance. It rejects programs like affirmative action etc. and claims it was just an attempt to appear to be not racist to the rest of the world.
Some proponents reject patriarchy and the traditional nuclear family as favoring the idea of White Privilege and institutional racism.
Many reject traditional religion and particularly Christianity for being the source of much of the law and traditions of the country.
While this theory teaches about the inequalities and unfairness of the United States system, it does not offer clear solutions, at least not openly.
Its adherents believe the police are enforcers of white privilege and white supremacy and capitalism.
They believe that laws should be enforced in a manner that takes into account the needs and disparities in the social order.
They reject the idea of race neutral or color blindness as a system of social fairness or equality.
It is behind the idea of tearing down any monuments, statues or honor to any person who is perceived to have engaged in slavery or possible racism in the past history.
This theory was recently barred from diversity training in the United States Government and Military, by President Trump.

The American people have now become much more aware of this racist propaganda that has contributed to the divisions in the country and increased the feeling of racism in all races. Some states are barring it from education. The Biden administration has doubled down on its teaching in the military, which is now dividing an institution that was a model for diversity.
It is appearing that the goal is drive white's out of positions of leadership in the military and business. It has already driven most white males out of education.
The end result will likely be a further deterioration of race relations, which is likely the real goal of this hateful propaganda.
