     The very possibility of racial healing and coming together as a country where race isn\u2019t a barrier but an afterthought\u2026 is totes racist, dontchaknow!<\/p>\n

Critical Race Theory is basically Max Horkeimer\u2019s \u201cCritical Theory\u201d viewed through a \u201cracial lens\u201d and not a \u201cclass lens\u201d. Critical Theory has three basic core tenets<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt must provide an account of what is wrong with existing social arrangements, identify the agents of change (in classical Marxist thinking, this would be the revolutionary proletariat), and provide achievable aims and standards against which these agents can judge their efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It assumes that there is a \u201csystem of oppression\u201d from one race\/class that oppressed the other \u201crace(s)\/class(es)\u201d that must be overthrown via <\/em>revolutionary action. \u00a0 Anything other than \u201crevolutionary action\u201d is considered supporting the \u201coppressors\u201d. In other words, via<\/em> the lens o\u2019 race, if something isn\u2019t \u201cantiracist\u201d that destroys \u201cracism\u201d which is the totality of society, then it is \u201cracist\u201d. The very possibility that society isn\u2019t fundamentally racist at its root and that racial healing or racial equality can come about via<\/em> the \u201csystem\u201d is unpossible to the Critical Race Theorist.<\/p>\n

     Case in point: \u201cKendi Ibraham\u201d who claimed that the willingness of America to elect a (half-) Black man is racist because it promotes a post-racial America and Critical Race Theory requires racism!<\/p>\n

\n

\n

If you needed further proof that we are in a hellish loop on race issues, Kendi just penned a piece in which he decries the election of Barack Obama as president. Why? Because it furthers the \u201cmyth\u201d of a \u201cpostracial America,\u201dand hence, is not anti-racist. https:\/\/t.co\/JyH8t0rNuo<\/a><\/p>\n
