What critical race theory is really about
"By the mid-1960s, Marxist intellectuals in the West had begun to acknowledge these failures (of traditional communism). They recoiled at revelations of Soviet atrocities and came to realize that workers’ revolutions would never occur in Western Europe or the United States, which had large middle classes and rapidly improving standards of living. Americans in particular had never developed a sense of class consciousness or class division. Most Americans believed in the American dream — the idea that they could transcend their origins through education, hard work and good citizenship.
But rather than abandon their political project, Marxist scholars in the West simply adapted their revolutionary theory to the social and racial unrest of the 1960s. Abandoning Marx’s economic dialectic of capitalists and workers, they substituted race for class and sought to create a revolutionary coalition of the dispossessed based on racial and ethnic categories."
I submit that some of them are being duped. On the other hand, some know full well what they are. Some will deny it to the end, but that was part of their indoctrination. But, have you noticed, playing the "race card" is usually always their first line in debate?
The United States of America, with all it's greatness, will be destroyed if they are allowed to prevail.
