…analysis from the civil rights era. Positioning normal civil rights stuff as CRT when CRT is very clear that it is a break from civil rights analysis makes that whole discussion feel opportunistic rather than an attempt to be illuminating.

Naw, he's making a perfectly fair joke. The war on CRT is, in effect, a deliberate attempt to make it be that, not only is there no CRT narrowly, there's no sort of critical theorizing about race. There is clearly overlap between CRT and bog standard disparate impact.

I’d especially like a confirmation that you Jeet understand that this is not CRT.

It is CRT, by law. Jeet is pointing this out.

It’s not CRT and I honestly don’t believe he understands that. And discussing that wouldn’t be banned by any of the anti-CRT laws. If you think it would, say which one and why.

If you aren't going to believe Jeet when he says he understands that, in so many words, what can I possibly say to make you believe me when I say that I believe Jeet when he says so in so many words? What would count as evidence?

Jeet saying critical race theory - the actual school of legal thought, not the GOP catch-all - is not mainstream liberal thinking on civil rights post-CRA/VRA, a claim his reply suggested and his commenters then assiduously defended.

Replying to @JamesSurowiecki @Sebastian_Hols and
I think his point is, rather, this: CRT is more radical, but not every single thing that CRT scholars say, critically, theoretically, about race, is radical. Much of it is moderate. In consequence of that, anti-CRT'ers are attempting to ban even moderate theorizing about race.

There’s nothing in any tweet he wrote that even suggests that anything about critical race theory - the actual school of legal thought - is radical.

Some of it is radical, some of it is less so. And even the radical stuff is so pessimistic it can lead to conservative conclusions (not unlike Clarence Thomas' approach). I think this is usefulhttps://johnganz.substack.com/p/were-all-postmodern-neo-marxists …
