      "Defoe says that there were a hundred thousand country fellows in his time ready to fight to the death against popery, without knowing whether popery was a man or a horse" -- Hazlitt. CRT is the popery of our time: an umbrella term for formless enemy.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1396994935329525766 …

      CRT tenet 1: Endemic racism. This principle says racism is predominant and very widespread in our thinking, interactions, systems, practices, institutions. Such that, inequality and unfair advantages whites have over POC are assumed natural, inevitable, and unchangeable. 6/13

          The thread I linked is from a proponent, fwiw - I don't think making strawmen was her intent. Check the first tweet! What do you think she gets wrong there?
