The Patriot Post® · In Brief: Critical Race Theory Preaches Black Failure
We’ve written extensively about the leftist doctrine known as Critical Race Theory. Yet columnist Deroy Murdock makes a unique point — CRT preaches black failure:
Critical race theory may be the Democrat left’s filthiest, ugliest big lie. It defines America as inherently and irredeemably bigoted, denounces all whites as racial oppressors, and diminishes all blacks as racially oppressed victims.
Lies, lies, lies.
The third lie is the worst.
Black Lives Matter, the “diversity” police, and other “systemic racism”-mongers relentlessly claim that white privilege and white supremacy blockade black success. Blacks think, “Yes, we can.” The Democrat left replies: “No, you can’t.”
It’s what George W. Bush might have called the “soft bigotry of low expectations,” which Murdock describes as being twisted: “Blacks are paralyzed victims, as helpless as butterflies ensnared in a tarantula’s web of white racism.” He explains:
This frightful fantasy is concocted to leave blacks cold and scared — all the better to swaddle them in the warm, loving arms of the left. Ultimately, like every Democrat effort, this is about getting elected, retaining power, and controlling Americans as tightly as possible. …
If blacks feel not empowered but enfeebled within an alleged whirlpool of white hate, then too bad. The Democrat left’s insatiable thirst for political domination must be quenched, by all means necessary.
The ironic thing is that it’s systemic. From K-12 education to the workplace to the Smithsonian Institution, blacks (and whites) are given this racist message. Murdock concludes:
These “anti-racist” racists are serving social cancer from huge, boiling cauldrons. They are ladling defeatism into the bowls of black people and sickening the entire nation with their evil stew.
They must be ridiculed, shunned, defunded, and dismantled.
