      A major problem CRT faces is that while a capable exponent of it might produce an intellectually penetrating analysis of some racially troubling defect in a law or policy, the "version" of it that most will encounter is some grift queen hosting anti-racist dinners at $2500 a pop.

      Berny Belvedere Retweeted Sarah Grynpas

      Part of the answer has to do with the ratio of exposure of respectable versus discreditable instances of it. Most people have hardly encountered its thoughtful output, but have experienced, or been presented with, loads of its kookier manifestations.https://twitter.com/SarahGrynpas/status/1456093482393669632?s=20 …

      For everything, no matter how good, there are idiots and grifters. Why is this only a problem for the left? Why does no one ever handwring about terrorists who shoot abortion doctors making the right look bad, about short sellers ruining capitalism.

      Berny Belvedere Retweeted Jeet Heer

      People don't care about what "actual real CRT" is. Nor do they care about Derrick Bell. "Critical Race Theory" now functions as a term used to designate the agglomeration of racial pedagogy and anti-racist self-helpery that they find culturally troubling.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1456095665885437954?s=20 …

      Berny Belvedere added,

      Jeet HeerVerified account @HeerJeet
      So the problem with CRT faces is that people will confuse actual real CRT (say Derrick Bell) with stuff that is not CRT. I would say this is a greater problem, at least in terms of intellectual credibility, among those who promote the confusion. https://twitter.com/bernybelvedere/status/1456085042258657281 …

      I would like you to ponder the possibility that this wasn't a natural development but one that happened thanks to the diligent effort of bad faith actors.

          Yes, bad faith actors absolutely had, and have, a key part to play in this development.

          Definitely. Rufo and his ilk are bad faith no doubt, but he's operating in a world shaped by woke indulgence vendors.

          LOL every second word in public life today is "racist" but Jeet objects to the framing of something that is not technically CRT as CRT.
