    "Critical race theory is a subset of critical theory, which began with Immanuel Kant in the 1790s. Critical theory rejected the principles of the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason on which the American Republic was founded." you have to be kidding me https://twitter.com/frerogogo/status/1507028508194840592 …

        The Enlightenment is kind of like Plato and Socrates, in that people who don’t know much about it often associate it with democracy. When really none of the above were fans of democracy.

        Ok for the curious but uninformed of us, can you explain the actual categories of thought these ideas fall into? What is the actual origin of CT and CRT and their relation to the enlightenment?

        CRT is a bunch of black civil rights lawyers trying to explain why the Civil Rights Act and Brown didn’t solve racism and doesn’t actually have much to do with either “critical theory” (except the word “critical”’in the name) or the enlightenment

        That isn't what Kant meant at all.
