Critical race theory, or CRT, is a disproven progressive theory
that advocates all accepted normal, neutral laws, regulations, and social and
political traditions impact minority racial groups differently. It examines how
legislatures target racial minorities for adverse treatment, such as voter
suppression laws, employment and social policies, cultural and institutional
requirements outside of the majority.
CRT was developed by Black civil-rights academia activists to
challenge the interaction of race and law in America. They theorize American
institutions and laws were created by whites to declassify people of color whose
values, needs, morals and ideas receive differing social justice.
Those who surrender to CRT preach America is a racist nation with codified
institutional racism and prejudice against those of color. CRT rejects real
facts that racism actually exists only within small groups. They believe racism
is written in law, innate in society, and part of all public policy.
Purveyors of CRT dismiss statistical evidence that racist incidents of whites
against people of color are few. And racial episodes of violence against whites
by people of color and acts they inflict on others of color are only promulgated
to enforce American structural systemic racism.
"America was created by white supremacists who felt that all people of color
were inferior."
– Alexandria O. Cortez
CRT was an anemic academic study. But it reared its ugly head when leftists
resurrected it to try and discredit Donald Trump and the GOP. It soon became the
fight-song for the socialists and the radical female House "Hit-Squad" led by
AOC. It is their weapon of choice to disrupt Congress.
CRT is a radical minority school of thought based on biased opinions, not
evidence. Its adherents, mostly minority academics, have fueled dozens of books,
legal reviews and countless conferences trying to force public officials and
whites in America to buy into an implausible, unsupported theory.
The majority of Americans do not support the tenets of CRT
because it refuses to accept historical facts. This is disturbing since America
has a history of correcting her problems and improving lives.
Since her founding, America has adapted to domestic and global evolution as well
as social needs while defending world liberty.
"America is great because God make her so."
– Bishop Fulton Sheen
Pew Research Center polling from both parties and independents after Barack
Obama's reelection in 2014 revealed that 73% of Blacks and whites believed there
was no need for our nation to revisit laws addressing black-white inequality.
This group also agreed that discrimination was no longer a barrier for Black
mobility. And SCOTUS even removed preclearance from the Voting Rights Act.
It's a fact that CRT would still be languishing in the graveyard of lost
socio-cultural hypothesis today if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016. But when
voters chose Trump, the left did an about face on race. Political scientist Lisa
Clark theorizes that the Democrats feared Trump's patriotism and populism with
blue collar whites and middle class Blacks was a threat to their dependence on
identity politics.
"When Americans have patriotism in their hearts, there is no room for
prejudice!"
– Donald Trump
Labeling the GOP racist is the leftist weapon to control the Black vote. It's a
self-sustained antithetic moral ethos. Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew
Cuomo once said, “I can't believe that conservatives call Black Lives Matter and
Antifa radical!” At the Women’s March in Washington shortly after Trump’s
inauguration, pop star Madonna said, “I have thought an awful lot of blowing up
the White House.”

In the 1960s, when Republicans and northern
Democrats humiliated southern segregationists into ending
segregation, the left eagerly laid claim to it. Former
segregationist Lyndon Johnson seized the moment to impose a New
Leftist moral imperative on American society dictated by Democrats.
Last year, before George Floyd had been laid to
rest, as America was burning, the left demanded CRT be integrated
into public education and every U.S. business and institution. They
said Floyd's death was not an isolated incident by one bad cop but a
way of life for people of color in America.
"If CRT seems Marxist, it is. It was Marxists that coined the phrase
whiteness.
– Mike Gonzalez
When the U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona sent out a
directive that states must teach CRT, they were more upset than the
segregationists were about Brown v Education! State legislatures
across the U.S. started banning CRT from schools claiming it was
unconstitutional for the DOED to dictate state curriculum. They also
refuse to teach innocent students they are racist.
Law professor Suzan Sherry verified CRT dismisses all factual
evidence. It is built around radical, false opinions that replace
historical fact with storytelling? It rebuffs truth and merit as
white opinion and rejects the rule of law. She points to the success
of Jews and Asians, yet CRT ignores it. They falsely accuse all
whites of racism against Blacks and never mention Black racism
against whites?
Constitutional scholars and attorneys ague that CRT advocates are
"forcing minority 'opinions' on the majority," which is not
constitutional. America is a republic, with a government that
guarantees that "the minority is never disenfranchised by the
majority." Accordingly, "no minority can force their beliefs on the
majority." CRT is forcing the majority to accept the opinions of a
small minority.
"The sole purpose of CRT is to create as much guilt
as possible within the white race."
– Mike Gonzalez
As he left office, Thomas Jefferson said, "Only honorable discourse
will keep us from tyranny." CRT is dishonorable discourse, and
denial of the success of the world's longest-standing Constitution.
It breeds contempt for past Americans who stepped forward to correct
social and cultural wrongs. It discredits the efforts of our
Enlightenment founders. They make false allegations that all whites
are guilty of racism and they flat out deny that there is Black
racism against whites, which is totally false.
Princeton law professor Jennifer Hochschild said CRT is flawed from
the start. They claim "people of color" in their dictum, yet they
focus only on Blacks, which is 13% of the population? According to
Census data, over 50% of Black America is classified as middle
class. She concludes that this upward mobility in socioeconomic
status has been due to social and cultural American assimilation.
During the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told us
that the Declaration of Independence was "a promissory note”
guaranteeing all Americans "the right to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.” As Jefferson said, "Only honorable discourse
will keep us from tyranny." In America, everyone has an equal right
to work within our judicial system to improve our nation for
everyone. Anyone who doesn't can't call themselves American.
"CRT is well-established in every American institution. It is
driving decision-making according to skin color, not individual
value and talent."
– Mike Gonzalez
