I dare anyone to read Critical Race Theory: An Introduction for themselves and try to believe this idiotic distortion. The book is both horrifying and laughably shallow. Read it yourself. You'll see. Last time I read it, I literally laughed out loud repeatedly at how stupid it is

The current attack on CRT is based on a caricature virtually unrecognizable by actual race scholars. B. Mason @alsoacarpenter gives a careful, detailed rebuttal of the main arguments interacting w/ Carl Trueman\u2019s recent article on the subject. Part 1: https://t.co/bjhz27AUed

I have screenshots of some choice material, but I have to admit that I stopped taking them because it's virtually all of the book that's transparently bad and ridiculous. Maybe I need to start sharing them anyway.

You can read the whole book for yourself in about four or five hours. It's neither long nor difficult. It's transparently awful and stupid, and it makes a person wonder what people like Bradley Mason are on about trying to bullshit you away from recognizing that.

Here, they say they're skeptical of rights.

This is after saying in the first paragraph that they diverge from the Civil Rights Movement and oppose the liberal order, equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law.

Look at how stupid the questions for deeper exploration are. It's literally making the case for propaganda over truth and then accusing white people of being the only people who confuse the two.

Here, they argue that liberalism (the systems in the West) can't solve the problem and that "everything must change at once," i.e., a revolution is necessary. Combine this with their skepticism of rights and equality. They also argue for subjective standards they'd control.

More stupid questions for exploration. It's a good time to remember that this is a textbook for young, impressionable minds, not for savvy grown adults who have a firmer foundation after having cut their teeth on the world a bit.

Divide and conquer through storytelling. Not at all sure why it says an African American would not be able to recover. Totally stupid analysis. It's like they confuse themselves, but more evil.

Look how they analyze "white." So stupid. And it's actually worse, but I restrained myself from taking screenies of every page in this section.

So. Transparently. Stupid. And arrives at the conclusion that all whites are complicit in racism, which is preposterous and insulting to both logic and human dignity.

Apparently the Democratic Party gets to decide who is and isn't the "right" race. LOL. "If you don't vote for me, you ain't Black" isn't new.
