It’s critical for Americans to understand WHAT Critical Race Theory really is.
Americans should defend civil rights, and we should actively work to eliminate racism in the U.S. and anywhere it exists—but (as we document in this backgrounder) these noble aims are NOT the stated intentions of Critical Race Theory’s founders: herit.ag/37LYAly

My patents taught my brother and me to accept others regardless of skin tone. Skin tone and other characteristics simply say where that persons ancestors were from. We are one human race and need to get along. Abide by our laws. Be kind.

america is meant to sustain white supremacy while white people are being genocided across the world….
@Tay-cg1pt
‘…tell the truth about America’ is what people of color have been trying to do in this country (with or without CRT logic). There is so much history unknown to citizens because a certain group works tirelessly to suppress it. This country was designed to benefit white people, white men especially. It has been both documented and demonstrated since Columbus stepped foot on someone else’s land.

It’s a legal theory created by two tomorrow theorists for college courses to study if systemic racism is in the legal system, it is! is Trump and his cronies just turn it into the new boogyman.
@nellie0377
i agree with rest of the comments. video is lousy and does not explain what it is.
@vayuagni
completely wrong.
@jobsdawter6691
This video is not for educational purposes. Its very biased.
@ArtwithAmarBrisco
CRT is the code word used when anyone that is sensitive to the truth of how this nation came to wants it hidden and not taught in its entirety. So to not instill guilt or fragility in the system people want a lie told to gloss over the history of america. As if america was founded and built on moral and just ideals all while throwing religion in the mix to further indoctrinate.

This is a great case study in propaganda:
1. Avoid abstract ideas – appeal to the emotions.
2. Constantly repeat just a few ideas. Use stereotyped phrases.
3. Give only one side of the argument.
4. Continuously criticize your opponents.
5. Pick out one special "enemy" for special vilification.
@heartstronggarden5134
💕✌🏼 This does nothing to define CRT
@allgood6760
There is only ONE race and that is the HUMAN RACE apart from our differences we all bleed and 💩 the same way!… I treat others how I like to be treated.. it is ATTITUDE… Thanks from NZ 👍🇨🇰

Jesus said "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."
I'm sure this is far more significant to the world's problems than the critical race theory,
which actually causes problems where there were none or at least fewer before!
Many, if not all humans are guilty of this idolatrous deadly motivation.
The only true and loving creator, God almighty designed us descendants of Adam and Eve to be beautifully diverse.
That's the Appreciative Acknowledgement Affirmation. Three big A's not 3 putrid k's.
@johnpederson8748
So blacks sold eachother into slavery and it's the white man's fault for liberating them and trying to show them civilized culture?
@barnabyquimble3225
Bullshit? Got it.
@jahdjnr5232
Racism is everywhere in the world and turning a blind eye to it by denying it doesn't make it go away or make the world any better.
@acupetera
Socrates was supposed to have lived by the motto "Know Thy Self" In that vein we can all contemplate the veracity of the following statements. "To know your enemy, you must become your enemy" and "You become what you fight".
Jesus was supposed to have lived by the dictum, "Love your enemy". In essence saying there is no enemy outside yourself only people who act like they don't know we are all different aspects of the One.
Know your Self. know your Self as part of the unity of all life and just get on with it.
@blessed7015
Opponents want to wash away the truths of history by not allowing factual history to be taught in schools. When in fact CRT is for college level academia.
@careysmith8942
This video is a perfect reason to have ' critical race theory ' taught in schools, this video is very one sided.
@TeamAmericaFuckYeah-n7e
The ethnically challenged cannot function in a modern high tech society. It’s racist to believe that they can succeed in such a maze of obstacles. The corporations and media have already started the new program of “The Great Reset” this new program will allow the ethnically challenged to feel better about themselves, think of it as a kinda “Fake it, until you make it” Remember, it’s all about feelings, not facts! We need more white women to lead their male counterparts to the new Marxist mindset.
@antonioterry1979
This is not true in fact its bull 😒
@dianabenobo
In request for comment I would say re. CRT that to affirm and to act upon the very idea of race in a way that establishes and cultivates actionable classes toward division and enmity among human beings can only be of purpose to misconstrue and to delude for some unjust advantage, i.e., pernicious racism. This concept may be the fundamental critical principal of CRT where any law or legal action may be held in question if it is based upon the idea of race.
@MrHaleste
African Americans aren't the darkest people on the planet Indian people are darker Pakistani people are darker this is like a child's game pinning the tail on the Donkey Joe Biden is a disgrace to the entire world when it comes to racism he blankly declared he needs a black lady not any black lady but a black lady what a disgrace to the entire human race America needs a leader that isn't a racist
