Video: Why is Critical Race Theory? 📂 Archived Message Posted by Sinister Burt on November 7, 2021, 4:16 pm So CRT isn't my old glass PC monitor, but is apparently the evil force ripping America apart and indoctrinating toddlers with undergraduate-level legal theory and marxism (or as seems to be the case, it's yet another reactionary astroturf culture war panic - basically cultural marxism 2.0 (or maybe Kulturbolschewismus 3.0?). Astroturf or not (it is), seems to be working somewhat, judging by the us elections the other day. This vid is a little old but breaks it down fairly well I thought. I haven't heard them talk about CRT much over here specifically, but the same themes are certainly being explored under the anti-woke banner (Mirza and Truss have talked about cultural marxism though, which seems a bit old hat now). When it comes down to it it seems the problem isn't with CRT itself so much as the very idea of systemic or analysis, not to mention context, nuance, accuracy or any version of history that isn't hagiography or national mythology.
