Dan McLaughlin added,
Total denial that any such ideas or concepts exist is a wonderful display of intellectual dishonesty.
Tell this guy. Before strategists got a hold of it as a tool, CRT referred only to grad-level social theory.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-pringle-critical-race-theory_n_60c9412ce4b0b0e8341f4751 …
I see you now have at least retreated to acknowledging the existence of the academic theory. Next, you will tell me that it's pop-society formations by the likes of Kendi & D'Angelo exist, or do not exist? Depends on your mood!
CRT, in its academic manifestation, is profoundly structuralist. D'Angelo is profoundly individualist--even anti-structuralist: all about individual feelings. They're literal opposites, save for one comminality common: anti-racism. Do you share not that in common with them?
Ah, back to the motte. They promote a common hostility to the very definition of racism as prejudice and/or discrimination on the basis of race, so saying "anti-racism" is itself question-begging. Of course they're not 100% agreed any more than Stalin, Mao, & Trotsky agreed.
Sounds like normal battle of ideas to me. Maybe your side just isn't as convincing. Where does Stalin and Mao come in?
It's an analogy. Do I have to explain how those work?
I mean, people made arguments, powerful people decided that those people made good arguments and institutionalized some of them, and you disagree. It seems pretty banal to me. Make better arguments.
Well, I am glad you have now admitted the original point, rather than continue to deny the existence of those arguments. Although I disagree with the assumption that everything decided by powerful people is by definition the result of better arguments.
