Critical race theory (CRT) claims to help identify and fix race relations when its true goal is to pin groups against one another. CRT, by its definition, is racism and cultural marxism packaged up as a trojan horse. Unfortunately, history repeats itself and this reality is truly at America’s doorstep. All socialist movements in the past have ended in death, starvation, and destruction. Clever elites sow seeds of discord that create fear and economic hardship so that they can swoop in with empty promises of peace and free stuff.
Federal programs will invade every area of our freedom until one day we'll wake up and find that socialism has infiltrated every area of our lies. Socialism sounds nice but in reality it's a structured society of oppressors (the ruling class) and the oppressed (the working class). Antonio Gramsci knew that America could not be defeated on the battlefield but required the destruction of institutions from within. In his prison notebooks, he wrote:
“Any country grounded in Judeo-Christian values can’t be overthrown until those roots are cut…Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity…in the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.”
CRITICAL RACE THEORY CLAIMS...
One race or sex is inherently superior
America is inherently racist or sexist
Everyone is racist or sexist (consciously or unconsciously)
It's okay to discriminate others because of race or sex
Everyone should be treated with respect to his or her race or sex
Moral character is determined by race or sex
Everyone should be held responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex
Someone's race or sex should cause discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress
Meritocracy and traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist, and were created by a particular race to oppress another race
RACISM DRESSED IN NEW CLOTHES
Critical race theory (CRT) suggests that people are defined by their race, rather than by their individual acts and attitudes. This emphasis on intersectionality categorizes people according to labels that are beyond a person's choices or control. CRT rejects absolute truth and lays its foundations upon perceived privileges. CRT harms race relations because it pins all races against one another, resulting in self-segregation.
The intention, direction, and definition of critical race theory are not hidden but are clearly seen in it's origin and definition...
MARXISM & CRITICAL THEORY
GEORG WIHELM FRIEDRICH HEGEL (1770-1831)
Hegel's dialectic materialism is a method of argument used in marxism that says history, culture, & society can only move forward through revolution.
KARL MARX (1818-1883)
Father of marxism (theory) and communism (practice of theory). His ideas were also known as conflict theory because they claimed that society was in constant conflict over limited resources.
COMMUNISM & HEGEMONY
COMMUNISM
Communism is marxism in practice
Communism's ultimate goal is total state ownership and control of socioeconomics
A true communist regime has never been successful
Failed in the U.K., Germany, Soviet Russia, Korea, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Venezuela
Economic collapse, terror, famine, & death follow where ever marxist ideas go
HEGEMONY
When a dominant group imposes their ideologies on society so that social change is completed through conditioning instead of control.
GRAMSCI & CULTURAL MARXISM
ANTONIO GRAMSCI (1891-1937)
Father of cultural marxism (theory). Concluded the adoption of marxism & implementation of communism failed because people were oppressed not by economics, but by ideas and cultures passed on as traditions through powerful institutions known as the "robes of society."
CULTURAL MARXISM
Claims that hegemony is an oppressive ideology that holds people down and that revolution must start with culture so that it can be destroyed from within through the various "robes of society."
THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL & CRITICAL THEORY
THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL
Gave birth to the rise of the Third Reich
Scholars left school in Germany and came to America where they evolved conflict theory into critical theory
Critical theory can easily be defined:
CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES
Claims that laws are used to uphold society's power structure
Claims that laws are codified to enable society's biases against a marginalized group of people
CRITICAL RACE THEORY & INTERSECTIONALITY
CRITICAL RACE THEORY
Father of critical Race theory is Derrick Bell (1930-2011)
Approaches justice, race, and inequality issues with the intent of revolution
Inverts and twists the subjective oppressed and oppressor groups
INTERSECTIONALITY
Claims that minorities suffer multiple layers of oppression that can be measured.
4 PRESUPPOSITIONS OF CRT
1) RACISM IS NORMAL
Claims race is the standard in which people do things in society, it's unavoidable.
2) ANTI-LIBERALISM
Questions the foundations of the liberal order (equality theory, legal reasoning, enlightenment rationalism, & neutral principles of constitutional law)
3) CONVERGENCY THEORY
Claims racism advances white elites (materially) & the white working class (psychically), that whites are incapable of righteous actions, and only seek to undo racism when their interests converge with the interests of people of color.
4) KNOWLEDGE IS SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED
Claims there is no objective truth. Hegemony is subjective, constructed by the oppressor for the purpose of oppression. Claims that black people use narrative/reading to forward knowledge while white people use science/reasoning.
*This is critical race theory described by its devout scholars and intellects, through the lens of its own origins and definitions.
Dear Lord,
Whoever has ears let them hear what Your Spirit has to say.
Amen.

[This "what has been made known" segment takes a look at issues through a secular worldview through a surface-level analysis of issues. Culture is always reconfiguring their position and switching up their narrative agenda which causes truth, virtue, and morality to slip through the cracks. Resurfacing the truth requires putting on secular lenses in order to understand the selfish desires of our flesh and our determination in fulfilling them at the expense of others.]
