For argument sake let's say your right. CRT is not meant to teach that. The problem would be it IS being used to teach that.
Or perhaps you are incorrect. Because it is overwhelmingly being used to teach that, then it we should probably consider that you are incorrect. Either that or the left, including acedemia is competely in error on their understanding of CRT.
Are you asserting that?
First, thank you for taking the time to deal with me, about this
My general impression of people, is we can use anything to suit our own purposes. And we might not correctly represent whatever we use. For one example, I think ones can see that the United States Constitution is not being used for its originally intended purpose and therefore its rightful interpretation. Much use of it has been for selfish stuff, and fighting for control . . . for whose benefit?
Individual rights can be used to isolate a person to one's own things.
And likewise, I think we can see humans using the Bible, like this.
We can highjack . . . any of us.
So, this is why I say Critical Race Theory might be misrepresented, and highjacked.
But yes I see that mainstream, not only left people, could consider Critical Race Theory to be a Marxist item, which the left would hope to use in education . . . not to help black people, but to recruit them to help take down the present United States government and society.
Even so, I see things about Critical Race Theory that can be correct . . . though I do not think Marxism and the left agenda is to be trusted to bring the best solution.
Wrong people can have the ability to see what is wrong with me; but they are not role models of which way I need to go.
...and hence the American society is irredeemable. It must be destroyed and a new one built from the ground up. Not just the government, but all social institutions.
So, then, the idea is > everything has to go; and there needs to be a totally new beginning. Does this not remind you of something? Do ones into this see how they might in some way be saying American needs to be "born again"?
Except, they do not mean to change to being with Jesus, now, do they? They only want things their way.
Once again there are racists. But the very fact we are selfish does not equate that we have racist tendencies. It just merely equates that we are selfish. That's it.
I said something like, that there are people who are aggressively racist, but may be there is such a thing as passive racism . . . not doing what we could do.
And since all humans have selfish nature, we have what is capable of racism, even if we do not actively use the ability. In our selfishness we might not act out a racist thing, but we can discriminate in other ways > for example, ones can discriminate against less beautiful women, even liking and loving certain women less, merely because they are not pleasing in how they look, the way others might be. That is discrimination, and it can effect how well we can relate and love . . . though it is not actively racist. And it can feed a person to not love ones of other ethnic groups as well as God would have us loving. So, it can produce racism by omission, if not active racism.
Active racism, for certain people, could be counterproductive, of course, causing a person to waste his or her time away from what he or she enjoys and wants. So, being just omissive . . . passive . . . could be more productive - - by just not doing anything, not saying anything - - leaving people less educated, and isolated, more or less.
So, I can see another interesting coincidence > the Marxists are saying all are racists. They are saying "all have sinned"! But they leave God out. They claim all have sinned . . . in comparison with Marxism, not in comparison with the glory of God.
What I see is that we all have sinned, because all of us have had our selfish nature; and this nature includes the character to discriminate . . . somehow. And because of our discriminatory ways of picking and choosing who is worth loving, whom we consider good enough for us to love and care about . . . we have all been racist, somehow . . . at least by simply not loving ones of other groups the way Jesus would have us loving any and all people. So, there is the racism by omission, at least, of not loving the way God wants.
But our most active and obvious discrimination might be in how we favor ones because of beauty, money, charm, smart talking . . . favoring ones who show us what we hope to use for what we want. And in our passive discrimination we just are not concerned with others.
