A Republican Brain Can Not Understand Critical Race Theory

[DanieRains]

It is not wired to see things based on reality.

1. They simply can't put themselves in someone else's shoes.

Their point of view is the only one they’re capable of. This is so true.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. To some extent they can, but their ability to do so is limited to those they see as being

Like, or Of, themselves.

If they feel the other is too 'different' from them then it shorts out the empathy circuit in their brain. They have to be able to almost literally put themselves in the other's place.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. they have faith based brains that require a big daddy to tell them the way....

and a big dash of paranoia.

[Initech]

3. Simply put: racists don't like being called out for being racist.

[Ocelot II]

6. But that's not what CRT is about, either.

It's not about the racism or racist behavior of individuals. The GOPers say that as long as you aren't doing things like burning crosses or wearing white pointy hoods or using the "n" word in public you can't be a racist, and it's mean and unfair (and also racist) to suggest otherwise. But what CRT is about is the idea that many laws and policies that are superficially neutral actually operate to perpetuate a social system that disadvantages minorities. The GOPers don't want to dig that deep, though, because it would upset too many apple carts, so they'll just whine about how CRT is just a way of saying white people are bad.

5. They can't think beyond their own needs. Selfish narcissists. hypocrites too.
