Walmart To Employees, "White is not Right"

bekkilyn said:

I've been questioning whether or not I really believe in the systemic -ism stuff. The fact that racism, sexism, etc. exists in some fashion doesn't also necessarily mean that is ingrained in "the system". Because...what system? And if the system we have now is bad (and that's an IF), whatever that system actually is, then what exactly is the replacement system and how is that system not going to be chock full of all the same problems? It seems that there are a bunch of people ready and willing (and I'm not just talking about black people or other minorities) to tear this entire country apart, but for what? Do people even know?

It's a theory which teaches that white males, who are the ones in power, have systematically discriminated against and created disadvantages for everyone else in areas of education, employment, housing and so forth. And therefore white males are responsible for poor living conditions, poor employment, unemployment, crime, incarceration and so forth that everyone else experiences.

why would actually addressing the problem of racism in say the legal system tear the country apart?

But why was the black kid in the class mistreated? Was it because white kids were taught by parents in their homes that black people are inferior in some way, perhaps even with racist jokes or what-have-you, which could therefore be changed by developing better and more accurate mindsets, or is it because the system of elementary schools in general is racist because it was created by white people (men) and therefore needs to be torn down because it only benefits young white boys?

CRT as it is in current practice seems to be wanting to tear down the schools.

CRT is racism, it is a Marxist spinoff of critical theory, the goal is to create class/race conflict.

The question I have is whether or not CRT truly addresses racism or is, for example, an ideology that promotes racial re-segregation under the guise of "diversity".
