In reply to the discussion: So doesn't the banning of Critical Race Theory kinda prove Critical Race Theory? [View all]Ford_Prefect
(7,876 posts)31. Most of the people who worry so publicly about CRT know as little about it as they do about
Antifa, BLM or any section of the Constitution, including the 2nd amendment. They are the same angry know-nothings who attacked "The Life Of Brian" as sacrilegious and anti-Christian without so much as a thread of evidence to support those conclusions (they had not seen the film nor were they biblical or historical scholars)
Bannon et al ginned up this one out of thin air. Much of the practices and literature they deride as CRT have been in place for decades.
Other things they know little at all about are U.S., English, and African history, along with how and why those interconnect. We'll leave the question of Portuguese and other European empires open for now...To say nothing of North African and Arab slave trading.

Exactly. Don't talk about or record those things that are/were mistakes in our past or present.
