The engineered panic over critical race theory, explained

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Spare a thought for critical race theory. It wasn't always a conservative bogeyman.

Especially over the past several months, Republicans have distorted CRT -- an academic frame that scholars such as Kimberlé Crenshaw have been using in graduate-level courses for decades to interrogate how the legal system entrenches racism -- into a catchall to describe things they don't like.

In this bastardized telling, CRT is whatever Republicans want it to be; it comes in many guises. "Black Lives Matter" is one name for CRT. "Social justice" is another. "Identity," yet another. "Reparations." "Ally-ship." "Diversity."

But to linger on what CRT is, or isn't, is to miss the more pressing concern: Why have Republicans latched onto a decades-old academic term?

1. "Why have Republicans latched onto a decades-old academic term?"

Because Joe and Kamala are doing a great job and this 100% made up problem (Heritage Foundation,
Koch Brothers, Fox, Creative Response Concepts, and ...) is to distract from that fact.

2. Why aren't they in favor of a theory that puts the blame on the system, rather than the individual

As I understand it they’re against critical race theory because they don’t like being made to feel guilty. Possibly because they just wanna be big assholes without suffering any consequences
