-- According to a Critical Race Theory Scholar at the University of California Berkeley School of Law, if you can't answer all of the following basic questions about Critical Race Theory, you really don't know enough about it to have an intelligent opinion on the subject.
In one sentence, what is Critical Race Theory? What did Professor Herbert Wechsler's questioning of whether the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education could be justified on the basis of "neutral" principles, have to do with the origination of Critical Race Theory? Who originated Critical Race Theory? What was the problem that led to the origination of Critical Race Theory? Why did the originator of Critical Race Theory believe the Supreme Court shouldn't have reversed Plessy v. Ferguson? How did the Godfather of Critical Race Theory shatter the shining image of a celebrated Supreme Court civil rights ruling? What is the Interest-Convergence Dilemma? What was “The Alternative Course?” Did Critical Race Theory embrace Critical Legal Studies, or did Critical Race Theory reject Critical Legal Studies? What was the first institutional expression of Critical Race Theory? Did Critical Race Theory reject Critical Legal Studies' deconstruction of liberalism, or embrace and build on it? When did Critical Race Theory become a movement? Who coined the term "Critical Race Theory" and what did the term mean? What philosophical currents does Critical Race Theory draw from? What distinguishes Critical Race Theory from from Critical Legal Studies? Can legal scholarship be neutral and objective? What is the goal of the Critical Race Theory movement? What are the key tenets of Critical Race Theory? Is race biologically real or is it socially constructed? Who are the faces at the bottom of the well? Who are the Space Traders? What are silent covenants? Is Critical Race Theory a noun or a verb? In one sentence, why did critical race theory began as a legal concept in the 1970s?
I had a “black history month training” yesterday: they remove personal responsibility from black people, every failure must be someone else’s fault, and then they want reparations for that, making victimization and failure, a business. This is not going to end well.
I wonder how much money the "anti capitalism" Kendi would send me? I mean, you know, since he has probably made thousands off of his book.....which he couldn't have done WITHOUT the freedoms of CAPITALISM......I'm sure he doesn't need all of it, y'know? Hypocrisy and double standards.....
Unfortunately, very few people on the right or the left know how to talk about dynamical systems, so we're unlikely to ever have an intelligent conversation about this.
The human race will never achieve close to Utopia. Isn't it obvious by now? Delusional or alienated individuals/groups may believe that this (the current time) is great enough to be close to Utopia. Less great is better for everyone. Policies do not lead. In the 21st century, we as individuals lead ourselves, with social and custodial guidance, not pressure. Our enlightened selfs will connect to became a social reality complemented by effective custody/governance to keep things harmonized. Those who were misguided or not yet thoroughly guided or cannot be successfully guided will have to be segregated until they can become more enlightened through their own capacity with normal assistance. Segregation in the 21st century is an easy task and should not be misconstrued as unjust or an outdated practice. We are blessed with or were granted the improved essentials such as food, medicine, access to many necessary or unnecessary items to keep us feeling well and pampered, etc, even under segregation.
By the way, we don't have to understand and some cannot understand policies. People have to use logic and reasoning. And we don't have to be super smart, for experience is a good teacher. Reasoning may fail to work well in a state of confusion. Logic requires clarity. Not everything is clear to us, including policies or the current way of life. But we have enough intelligence and intellect to gather whatever is apparent to base our decisions. This collection of information and input that are not fed to us does not lie, for they were apparent and therefore had to be preexisting.
and every where else. It is spreading like a virus also in all of western Europe. They are feeding a major backlash by letting this grow, then they will blame the uninfected saviours for the damage, as usual.

@@gbaker1a775 Did it work on you ? Just because a curriculum is taught doesn’t mean it’s popular or widely accepted. I lean left and know CRT is garbage. Just like forcing children to pray.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 when I was younger some aspects of CRT resonated with me. Life experience and further study straightened me out. I discovered Milton Friedman, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell. They should be teaching opposing views in state schools. I’m an atheist, and I disagree with you on prayer, well I disagree as long as we define force. I’m taking your definition of force as a very broad definition that likely includes encouragement. Christianity has been a wonderful contributor to American society. The abolition of slavery was rooted in Christianity with the Quakers. I could go on. With that said, religion has probably already been destroyed in the United States. There’s really nothing to argue about.

We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans." -- Christopher F. Rufo
Well he’s not wrong. CRT is racist dogma that is a complete cancer. It doesn’t bring people together but rather drives people apart based on outrageous claims with no real evidence. You don’t have to be a conservative to realize this. I’m a borderline liberal.
True students of history know the reason why history is taught at all: To prevent people from making the same mistakes. We teach the Holocaust and the atrocities Germany committed in WW2, but do we hate Germany? Of course not, that's absurd. Critical Race Theory creates more awareness for how race was perceived throughout history and how that created the America we live in today. The biggest take away is to literally not make the same mistakes people made in the past. How is this difficult to comprehend?

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." Desiderius Erasmus This is definitely a great presentation because it reinforces Rufo’s objectives. Misinformation presented clearly and succinctly with the intent to mislead the unknowing using logical fallacies is very powerful! Instead of consuming and digesting someone else’s talking points of their flawed and incomplete research, do your own research before accepting something as true and accurate. “We have successfully frozen their brand - “critical race theory” - into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the cultural insanities under that brand category.” “The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think “critical race theory.” We have decodified it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.” Christopher F. Rufo
I think it's great. You really don't need to be a scholar or even "well read" or overly well read on any subject to begin to form a practical understanding and relevant opinions. Like I am sure that many 60's student protesters, radicals, stoners, hippies, etc. didn't have a complete, studied, soup-to-nuts understanding on issues like the Viet Nam war, abortion, civil rights, etc. But they took to the streets anyway with just a rudimentary understanding (maybe less), in small numbers and created just enough pressure and notoriety to start getting more and more people to notice and eventually the federal government to concede to their demands. And most of your rank-and-file protesters probably couldn't write even a full paragraph on what it was they were protesting, let alone a long and wordy dissertation. All you really need is to hate something with a passion and want to do something about it; To do something to end it. And then work like he ll to accomplish it. Like the left and Donald Trump. They just knew they hated Trump and worked to try to stop him. Nobody really needed to recite a paper or have read a biography to know what they didn't like about Trump. This Rufo lecture is just the beginning of the fight to combat the social and cultural poison which has long been brewing in the US and wrapping its tentacles throughout our government and educational institutions for decades. This lecture is just the warning shot or "spark" to make the common folk aware, to get people to stand up and take notice. And like Mao said, "Just 1 little spark can set the whole field on fire".
@@ratghost25 Your beginning statement reinforces my comments. It sounds like you’re agreeing with Rufo and you don’t even know what CRT is. Truly research CRT and then come to a conclusion about the validity of someone’s claims. You use a quote you believe is from a Marxist and Rufo maligns CRT because he believes it’s founded in Marxism. Do your research. Your comments reinforce the possibility that you’re a regurgitater and not a thinker.
I really appreciate that you're willing to acknowledge the skillfulness of those selling this ideology. A harmful ideology isn't as scary if it's so crazy that people immediately reject it. What makes this so worrisome is that it's being promoted by truly compelling and charismatic voices.
A few years ago we probably didn't think we'd have to fight for the principles of freedom and equality we have taken for granted. Turns out we do. As Chris points out, we have everything of value on our side, but we must stand up and be counted. The country is reaching a critical (no pun intended) threshold.
This country is going to hell and your refusal to repent and acknowledge the wrong this country has done will only make it come sooner. A nation of reprobates.
Imagine claiming to fight for "freedom and equality," but yet denying the racist white supremacist foundation of the US. white people vigorously crave being fake oppressed 😒
Hey can you provide sources please? You reference a lot of academic papers, examples etc, but provide no sources to them. It's not much of an essay without sources.

It's funny that when you look at this guy's website his links, for the most part, link to him as a source...very little is from anyone or anything other than himself.
@@spidgeb3292 I think an example of what could be considered a racist law would be the difference in punishment between crack and cocaine (same substance just at different purity levels) because crack was predominantly pushed in black communities while cocaine was more predominantly used by white people. Crack is considered to warrant a more harsh punishment than cocaine, and you may think "oh probably because of crack being more pure" but in actuality cocaine is the more pure substance. The point I'm getting at is that crack was treated more harshly in punishment because of its use by black people. So I think that's a pretty straight forward example of how the system is racist without any overtly racist laws.
@@gucciscrewdriver I see your point, but there's a big difference in crack and cocaine with respect to what it does the communities and individuals. Crack is massively more addictive much more quickly than cocaine, it's cheap (cocaine in the 80s and 90s wasn't), communities were being destroyed by crack usage and distribution, and--this is the important one--black community leaders and mayors practically insisted on harsher penalties for crack distribution. Now, if you want a true white drug-vs. black drug comparison, that would be meth vs. crack. Meth is the drug of poor rural whites. It's cheap, immediately addictive, and destroying communities. That's your better comparison. And penalties for meth and crack are damn near identical.
14:13 You need to also talk about emotionally manipulative methods & double standards of ethics based on race here - as they are the foundation of how CRT ppl get away with it.

This is happening in my sons school. It is subtle at this point because he is only in 5th grade but it’s there and creeping it’s way into more and more aspects of his education. I feel overwhelmed by this and because I don’t know who is or isn’t an ally my wife and I feel helpless. My wife and I have spoken up to the “woke” principal and will ALWAYS speak up no matter what. We are also changing schools but we noticed pride flags and blm fists in a couple class rooms when we went to the school’s orientation. I’m in Rhode Island.
"pride flags and blm fists" might not be all that bad, I am more concerned about people saying online that my grandchildren should be ashamed because I did not go to Selma or Birmingham 60 years ago. Even though in my generation the Republicans in the Senate and the HOuse provided the votes for LBJ to pass "those N-Word laws" which is what he said about the civil rights legislation. The minority cannot persecute the majority unless we allow them to do that. And let's not worry about whether the school calls it Critical Race Theory, if they are teaching hatred of white people. A totalitarian by any other name would smell as sweet.
Hi Mr Ruffo. Do you have a website or somewhere else I can go to find citations for all of the things that you said. I believe that CRT is harmful, but because their writings are so voluminous, I have trouble defining it to my liberal friends. So I basically find myself just repeating what they rightly call conservative talking points. Which, they in turn say that I am just making it all up. So to repeat my question, do you have citations from their own writings? Thanks. P. S. Keep up the good fight.
The answer is no. Rufo, and other white conservatives, are getting upset about a delusion they make up... as usual. In short, CRT is frame for, "studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism,, and power" (Delgado & Stefancic 2012: 3). One of the key analytical frames CRT emphasizes, is that racism is not a personal bias but a social institution that perpetuates white supremacy. Racism is about power, not personal bias.
@@fwp3144 Which is why the racism they claim to be fighting is so systemic, which means that it does not occur necessarily in a person, but in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Which is bunkus. A micro aggression can be literally anything. Anything all all. Which takes it down to nothing other than a perception in the mind of someone who has a dislike for the 'other.' Same thing for that other cute trick - impact versus intent. Whether I claim that what I'm writing right now is an act of aggression based on a wish to belittle, put down, win an argument - or engage in a healthy debate requiring critical thought and the free exchange of words and ideas - if it is claimed to be antagonistic and brimming with an alternative agenda that is racist-based.....and I claim no such intention whatsoever, it does not matter. The 'impact' is all that matters. This breeds a sense of accountability commonly found in toddlers. In this way, does a series of relationships arise whereupon grievance is aided by these bastard children spawned by critical theory. Much as parts of major world religions have been twisted and bent out of shape to justify cruelty and inhumane treatment - the logic is much the same. It happens because that's what humans do. So we're left with the long task of trying to keep the damage reduced to a minimum.

@Forrest Taylor Good grief. The beta male energy that emanates from your face. Such a useful idiot of Marxist revolutionaries. You actually believe CRT is a theory advanced in good faith as opposed to an assault on the fundamental tenants of the American system. Your extreme lack of vigilance is no surprise however, considering your obviously low levels of testosterone. The beta males are never aware of the serious threats.
Here's the historical timeline of leftist academic intellectuals leading up to wokeism and Critical Race Theory. 1920's: The Frankfurt School of Social Theory is founded in Germany. 1950's: Post Modernism is founded in the USA by former Frankfurt School of Social Theorists. 1970's Crtical Theory and its many branches begin.
@music Pimento You don’t get it. You are in favor of the indoctrination of children, make them think they are bad for being white, make them feel guilty for nothing. You are in favor of that same thing you are against but once the white people are the affected ones then you don’t care? You are a hypocrite. You don’t know how to change the racist mindset. You don’t change it with racism. No.
@music Pimento Nobody said racism was not a big part of America's history, including Rufo. In fact, at one point in this video, he said there is no denying that racism is a part of American history. Looking at your examples: 1. Jim Crow laws are all abolished; 2) any new home owners association contract that includes a race restrictive covenant is illegal and if any contract has such a provision, states or federal attorneys general would (and should) bring actions to eliminate those covenants from the contracts; and 3) nobody today disputes that what happened in Tulsa 100 years ago was an inexcusable tragedy. Today, while there are individuals of all races who are racist, America by law and Constitution is color-blind. Its principles are to give all citizens equal treatment and opportunity regardless of the citizens' race(s). Critical race theory says to a little kid who has never caused anyone any harm in his life that because of the color of his skin, he is either an privileged oppressor or a oppressed victim. That is absurdity of the first order. Teaching kids that their integrity, industriousness and character are what define them as people is far more productive. Also, anyone who supports the idea of a Department of Anti-Racism which could review and nullify laws without oversight wants to live in an Orwellian hell.
@music Pimento First, you are saying that the people who implement the laws are racist. That is a ridiculous generalization. What is the percentage of the those who are racist? How are the systems racist? I hear a lot of screaming that America's "systems" are racist and next to no examples. And please don't pull this "I am glad you recognize America's racist history" nonsense with me. That is a typical leftist method of making it look like someone who disagrees with you actually agrees with you. I said racism is part of America's history, not that its history is racist. America's history covers a lot of ground and this country is not completely grounded in racism. And you're damn right I don't agree with teaching kids that racism infects our systems. First, as I said, individuals in the systems may be racist, but that does not mean that the racism is all pervasive in the systems. Secondly, these angry little neo-Marxists don't want to to teach kids that racism has to one degree or another infected systems of governance or economics, but to teach them they are harming others or are themselves being harmed based on qualities over which they have no control. Kids should be taught a thorough and honest form of history, math, science and English. Any socialization lessons should be based on integrity, decency and respect for all regardless of race, religion, etc. If these dimwits in education did that, race would not be a national obsession any more and people like Nikole Hannah Jones would be irrelevant. Instead this country has an obsession with race thanks to neo-Marxists who realized that America lacked the necessary class tension.

I don't directly tell them they are wrong, I argue the theory or concept. In return SJW's might attack, saying your racist or sexist, or ask for proof. Oh i can't remember meme, but often there's a communist theme, so if you question that it starts the ball rolling. The discussion will evolve because your not attacking them.

At some point I remember mentioning Hegal, and tearing down society to replace it with what? She had no answer she admitted it. That's all I can remember.
@Forrest Taylor I'm surprised by SJW's knowledge of Hegel. Seems if you can acknowledge something they know they drop the "shaming language of calling you racist or sexist". I found the meme. "Banning the teaching of systemic racism is actually a perfect example of systemic racism". I posted this video. I wanted them to watch it before I had a discussion, as she wanted to know what it was. She did want my own words. I told her, "she's fighting for racism". It went on from there. Another friend of her joined in and the discussion went on. I think there's over a hundred back and forth comments.

@music Pimento Hes not denying Jim crow laws,, hes also not denying that some Americans were and are racist. This video isn't about racism, it's specifically about critical race theory which has little to do with actual racism. Racism has become so politicized and convoluted through CRT that we don't know who's actually racist versus who's not. According to critical race theory “racism = prejudice + power” but this is a convoluted definition because it's often interpreted in colleges to mean that only white people can be racist. Which is wrong. I could go on and on.
@@DavidL-wd5pu little to none of the things he said are factual, to the point where it makes me feel as though this person knows that what hes saying is incorrect, yet he still does this for views and his political agenda.
According to Maxwell Maltz, in his book Psycho-Cybernetics: "You will ‘act like’ the sort of person you conceive yourself to be. Not only this, but you literally cannot act otherwise, in spite of all your conscious efforts or will power. The man who conceives himself to be a ‘failure-type of person’ will find some way to fail, in spite of all his good intentions, or his will power, even if opportunity is literally dumped in his lap. The person who conceives himself to be a victim of injustice, one ‘who was meant to suffer,’ will invariably find circumstances to verify his opinion." This is why generational poverty is so pernicious and destructive to a community. And, it’s why Critical Race Theory is so evil, particularly when taught to young children. You are teaching them to be life-long failures who believe themselves to be incapable of success. Those who are teaching this don’t care about that, because CRT is a political tool. It’s purpose is to further the cause of Marxism. And if they have to destroy the lives of a few million children to do that, what do they care? Marxists have already proven that human life means nothing to them. Their political system is designed to generate poverty and promote starvation for the masses. But the top leaders of these political systems of failure invariably become members of the uber-rich. When they talk about the transfer of wealth, it’s not from the rich to the poor… it’s from everyone else to them.
Brilliant in your clarity... this stuff just snuck up on us, CRT is nasty, insidious, frightening and so obviously wrong I’m shocked anyone can by into it.

I'm of Indian background born in the US and lived here my whole life. But in school for a few years I was put into the ESL program even though I got pretty good grades in English, and fluent in it since I spoke it my whole life.
it happens. I moved from North East USA, NJ to a southern US state when I entered 2nd grade. my teacher was a "southern belle" who spoke very thick "southern drawl" English. Could barely understand her. She thought I was stupid, and stuck me in remedial English (I have above average IQ). I felt bad, but luckily my mom caught on to what was going on during a parent- teacher conference. e.g. words like "fetch, reckon, yonder, ya'all, fixin" etc were alien to me. Words that she spoke differently like yellow. = "yella". had no idea what a "yella" was.... you yelling at me for something ?! it took me awhile for my mind to adapt to the change in what i perceived was a very different and peculiar accent. lastly, im white and my teacher was white at the time.

I believe in Enlightenment Liberal Values, and the need for a "liberal education" (as I imperfectly understand it)...and I strongly disagree with my fellow liberals who denigrate Western liberal values. But they do rightly point out that for much of it's history, those who were responsible for supplying that Western liberal education, excluded women, non-whites, other minorities. It's up to those of us who believe in the value of that thought system to make sure that it is open to all, equally. even if that means that means being labeled "woke".

Republicans are doing to the unemployed actually is explained by classic Marxism. Let me explain. In his magnum opus Capital, Marx argued that a capitalist system will more-or-less automatically produce a population of surplus workers. Businesses become more productive through greater capital investment, which will require more workers in some areas but far fewer in others, and hence this process will always tend to to create an "industrial reserve army" of surplus labor - that is, the unemployed. This reserve army is very important for classical capitalism. It "becomes … the lever of capitalistic accumulation, nay, a condition of existence of the capitalist mode of production." The reason is that businesses are constantly changing the way they operate, and so always need a large supply of idle workers to fling into new projects on a moment's notice: The mass of social wealth, overflowing with the advance of accumulation, and transformable into additional capital, thrusts itself frantically into old branches of production, whose market suddenly expands, or into newly formed branches, such as railways, &c., the need for which grows out of the development of the old ones. In all such cases, there must be the possibility of throwing great masses of men suddenly on the decisive points without injury to the scale of production in other spheres. This industrial reserve army also allows capitalists to better exploit the people they do employ, because it exerts a "competition" that forces workers "to submit to overwork and to subjugation under the dictates of capital."
Well, he didn't accurately explain the genesis of CRT with regard to Marxism. It actually ties closer to the marxian concept of 'ideology' rather than the proletarian/bourgeois divide. Which is a pretty blatant misunderstanding of the concept as a whole. If you want to push an ideology, feel free I suppose. If you want to provide an accurate critique of CRT, I'd keep looking
Okay...so how do we as a people described in The Declaration of Independence go about telling the factual truth of America? If I do it, it comes downs to "facts don't care about your feelings."
This is why I’m truly moderate. This is heavily right side biased, though I think that’s the point, but it makes almost carbon copy arguments that the left does just with different picked out examples. Both side really just argue around each other because neither wants to give a full picture. I think that’s because it’s a lot more complex than we’d like it to be, so both sides dumb it all down for themselves and the public
There's a lot of questions I have about CRT. 1. Are albino Africans black? 2. How is all white people the same? For instance an Italian, American and a Norweegan? 3. Is there a color chart to grade one's skin color? 4. Who has more victim points a slave from 200 years ago or the slaves in Africa right now?
1) yes, 2&3) think of a white slave owner from the 1850s - if he would call you white you’re white 4) and it doesn’t matter we live in america and if you love america you should care about the equality of all it’s citizens
@@WithDeionB You know the color of the people who sold the slaves to these white people back then? So if a white albino African is black and we all descended from Africa then that would make us all black by this logic? You do realise that some indigenous Italians have a dark skin right? So are they white too or are we looking for other features becides skin color? What does CRT say about DNA how much % makes you black or white? I am simply pointing out how dumb CRT is. Peace
This is the best ever understanding of crt I have ever heard. Read it so u understand what it's really about, every segment as the video pauses and then continues about 4 times.
This guy? Nah he isn't far right. He's just another basic bitch conservative bitching about the evils of "socialism" rather than admitting the wholesale attack on whites that this kind of shit really represents.
Author and linguist John McWhorter call them "The Elect," and see this as more a religious crusade, which cannot be questioned. He's been doing an open series on this, pre-publication of his book "Woke Racism: How a New Religion has Betrayed Black America."
The fact that this high quality video was produced by someone else rather than me is proof that meritocracy is real and alive and indeed the very basic of successful videos and view count rankings on this very medium.
I do not think anyone understands the importance of civilizations and the meaningful factors that carry a well-stabilized society based on perspective, behaviors, and ultimately, morality. This is no attack for some fraudulent country that desires the means of commerce or some ideology that neglects a selective few of people (minorities) because well, patriotism is rooted in the origins of america and if ANYONE knows history, america is/was not the best. This comes to the utmost cruciality of what makes a society moral, logical, and stable and that comes with understanding LITERALLY how humans function and behave individually and collectively. If we cannot understand these variables, how are we to better ourselves and each other if we are completely unaware of how to connect or to solve issues with blatant negligence/ignorance? Critical Race Theory is seriously needed only to combat the passivity and normalized semantics, laws, jokes, and any other subliminal means that attack everyone from succeeding. Race was never supposed to be an issue until it did by considering the darker skinned people or anyone without "wealthy" qualities as low or plebs. Race is indeed a social construct but not what it should be in this modern civilization. Why do you think a majority of minorities are fighting for these rights? Why do you think this idea of CRT began? It is simple cause and effect which was taught in grade school. Like c'mon. I do not even go to school and this seriously gets on my nerves. Why must it be that negativity is spewed so hastily on different opinions when it can be taken maturely and through an approach that compromise is on the brink in the end of such argument? Not to be bias, but these motives further suggest that people are scared over the dominance of the minority becoming the majority. I could say "what happened to the land of the free?" or such a like that would contradict many from the values you take in from this stubborn, sovereign place. Feel free to leave questions or responses that do not entail negativity. It will not be tolerated and left unanswered.
A few points are missing from this excellent video. The entire woke ideology is being pushed by the academic/professional class, I would argue in a divide and conquer strategy against regular people. They do this in an effort to get people to obsess about ra ce (which is no longer a significant source of inequality in America) and entirely ignore CLASS (which is OBVIOUSLY still the major source of inequality in America). The academic/professional class, thus, also gets to pretend to itself that it is on the side of the downtrodden, even while it implements policies that actually harm the working-/lower-middle-classes (e.g., op en im mig ration by un-/low-skilled workers, whom the professional class hires as domestic servants at sla ve wages). Also, if the political system is focused on alleviation of class-based inequalities, this would likely cause the professional/academic class to be taxed for the benefit of the less fortunate. If the focus is, instead, on ra ce, then the academic/professional class gets to, as I said, pretend it's on the side of the weak (by public proclamations of how--don't make me laugh--"anti-ra cist" they are), without it costing them a dime. The religion of Woke-ism is a disgusting, dishonest ideology, but it cloaks itself, absurdly and transparently, in a veneer of moralism. It's a scam, both on the country at large and also on the class that is pushing it
very observant, The Rich want us fighting amongst ourselves and not focusing on them; that's why you see Oprah Winfrey (billionaire) interviewing Lebron (going to be a billionairee) and Bill Gates (was richest man b4 divorce) talking about how unfair and racist the country is. In fact one of the reasons companies have gone along with this is; they realize it distracts from all their wealth and it's easier to just pay some money to "consultants" and groups like BLM and force propaganda on their workers than actually clean up their own company or take a look at maybe their board is a little too white or the C-suite isn't so diverse - but you don't see them giving up their titles, stock options or country club memberships anytime soon, do you?
I will like to preface my comment that I have never been the recipient of outright racial discrimination or racist-like confrontations from white Americans. Today (17 JUL 21) I was at two white American establishments, a distillery and a private residence. Those white people I was around, from what I know, are not racist because if they were I would not have (oh, I should have started my comment that I am a black gay American or Black gay man) been in those spaces for long. However, in regards to CRT, and after everything that has went on from the past few years with the last president, COVID, the election, and state governments passing voting laws because they believe that stupid ass LIE that the election was rigged...I am having a hard time believing this whole "CRT" is a threat thing that's going on right now. I graduated high school in 2004 in rural NC. I was taught some things about slavery, the Underground Railroad, the Jim Crow era, and the Civil Rights act and the actions that led up to that from two white women teachers. I learned MORE about the plight of black Americans when I took African American History at a historically black university. If people are so enraged about "CRT" concepts being taught in grade schools, like Rufo stated...then call these schools out! What's the name of the school. He only listed the cities where this supposedly taken place. What is the name of the principal and teacher. If yall need to attack CRT then put these grade schools on blast. Do I believe that all white Americans are inherently racist - NO. History alone will tell us that's NO true. For example read up on the Underground Railroad. That system for slaves was successful because white Americans DID help with that. Were they inherently racist??? This whole communist/Marxist bs I feel is a dog whistle for some white Americans to fight to keep people who look like them in power and running OUR country. I feel they do not want to see a multi-racial/ethnic federal or state government and they are in "fear/rage" of them losing "power". I feel that this is nothing more than a continuation of the bs that clown of a president started several years ago. And there's ENOUGH proof of that. Go ahead and keep believing and adding to THE BIG LIE. Oh, and call these schools out about them teaching CRT concepts just like how those white Americans who were caught actually saying racist things were called out! I'm waiting.........
As terrifying as this sounds for America, just imagine what it sounds like to a white South African. In my country less than 9% of the population is white, so identity politics and racial policies are already rife. Government failures are routinely blamed on 'white monopoly capital', and the abolition of (white) property rights is a topic of serious discussion at the highest levels of government.
That’ll someday be our future too if this idea of hating others based on skin color and crimes of the past that current people are innocent of continues. Because in the near future white people won’t be the majority of the population of the US. Hatred no matter from who is bad. We are all human and all related. All part of the same human family. It was also very likely that we would marry into different families in the future, which is natural. “Race” is a concept that hasn’t always existed. And it’s not worth hating each other over. I grew up in the 90s and people were treated as equals. We were happy. I know of people with different skin color that got married from my high school. I miss the 90s so much. It was a much better time. Where people really did focus on character versus background. Didn’t matter if you were rich, poor, black or white. If you were a nice kid other kids wanted to play with you. If you were mean, then other kids didn’t want to play. I grew up with a disability I struggled with too but even I made great friends in high school. I really really miss those times.
You took the words right out of my mouth. James Lindsay is really good on this topic too, although I do not trust an atheist much regardless of their brain.
Context! Thank you. It was observed in the 60s that you don't find the champions of reason and logic clogging the streets with their bodies. This is not new. It just has a new "skin."
9:00 I was not able to find a survey conducted by Gallup with these results. I did, however, find these numbers in a survey published by the Cato Institute. While that fact does not invalidate the entire video, misrepresenting a source _is_ a form of plagiarism, whether done intentionally or not. You need to be more careful in the future.
I'd encourage you to look for more evidence for the so-called 'facts' he mentions. Many of the definitions he gives are lies easily debunked by a casual Google search.
Is Yuri Bezmenov a time traveler? Dude's lecture was extremely accurate to what's happening today. Also, why are we Asians also oppressors? I get it that we're more successful than any Race in America, but that's just because hardwork is engraved in Asian Culture.
That is exactly why you are labeled as oppressors. BLM and racists on the left dont want you successful and financially independent, they want you poor, uneducated and totally dependent on the government. Besides, by being successful you make blacks look bad.
Thank GOD, you have made this Chris. I was literally just thinking how badly we needed a well presented 20m documentary on what CRT is and precisely why we need to band against it.

What a great video. I have been trying to read all the academic books and papers. I have an Master's degree from a very liberal university (20 years ago now), and it was hard for me wrap my head around, much less try to explain it. This video is going out to all my friends and trusted coworkers. Thank you for your courage!!
Although I think you overplay the Marxist influence at the beginning, I appreciated how you drew the distinction between Premise and Conclusion at around the 10 minute mark. I have been trying to articulate something similar to people who are absolutely vehement about decrying CRT. I would like to bridge the divide between those who abhor the conclusions of CRT (as you call them -- I'd call them the forms of its implementation) and those who see hope for positive change (not Marxist change) by bringing to light the premises of CRT. Your video from 10:46 to 12:51 in particular may help me do that in my own circle of influence.
Don't waste your time with Rufo, he is a political operative gaslighting CRT. You are on the right track, keep doing your own research, you will not find any Marxism in CRT; it is not concerned with economic systems. Here is the link to a 3rd party explanation as opposed to you depending on my objectivity. ua-cam.com/video/vLBapXx9sTs/v-deo.html
@music Pimento I'm not a Trump supporter (I'm not american). I also dislike racists marxists because I believe in decent societies that have food to eat. I also know more about Jim Crow laws than you it seems.
Are you wanting to erase history or ignore it because it assumes a collective guilt that you feel should be amended? instead of rectifying it? The slave trade, their lives as slaves, and their treatment after should not be spoken off because it happened when you were not alive and it shames your race? So should all history be erased? including the story of how the settlers landed in Plymouth rock and all the way through the revolutionary war? Is this "collective guilt" the fact that you descend from racist and you want to ignore it and perceive it never happened? African American's should just ignore that they descend from slaves that were victims of human trafficking, sex trafficking, and inhumane living conditions.....so whites in 2021 can feel better about themselves? Is it that Critical Race theory is such a "threat" because It points out unequal outcomes of systems and institutions. Admitting that a certain group benefits does not place blame or impose guilt, unless you refuse to acknowledge and help dismantle those unequal systems....a ploy to stay the dominant race and relevant?
Have you been able to get on any of the Fox Shows like Hannity or Laura Ingraham? This video needs to be megaphoned across the land, indeed across the planet.
Yes...and no. Preaching to the choir, and being on Fox is a thing that Der Wokenvolkstasi have made into an instant label of heretic. (Mixed metaphor intentional). Rufo is articulate on this, we need voices like his to be heard within the Wokeist cult.
Can you post references, specifically backup to the claim that CRT believes equality is a smokescreen for white supremacy? This is a powerful anti-American point but I need the primary source.

Unfortunately, very few people on the right or the left know how to talk about dynamical systems, so we're unlikely to ever have an intelligent conversation about this.
As James Lindsay says: “Communism doesn’t know how”. They have no explanation of how their policies lead to utopia
Seems their policies lead to hell if their criminal and crime infested blue toilets are any indication.
they don't care about how, they just need something to get power, how is not their concern.
If you think about it what they describe is not a utopia in the first place.
The human race will never achieve close to Utopia. Isn't it obvious by now?
Delusional or alienated individuals/groups may believe that this (the current time) is great enough to be close to Utopia. Less great is better for everyone.
Policies do not lead. In the 21st century, we as individuals lead ourselves, with social and custodial guidance, not pressure. Our enlightened selfs will connect to became a social reality complemented by effective custody/governance to keep things harmonized. Those who were misguided or not yet thoroughly guided or cannot be successfully guided will have to be segregated until they can become more enlightened through their own capacity with normal assistance. Segregation in the 21st century is an easy task and should not be misconstrued as unjust or an outdated practice. We are blessed with or were granted the improved essentials such as food, medicine, access to many necessary or unnecessary items to keep us feeling well and pampered, etc, even under segregation.
By the way, we don't have to understand and some cannot understand policies. People have to use logic and reasoning. And we don't have to be super smart, for experience is a good teacher. Reasoning may fail to work well in a state of confusion. Logic requires clarity. Not everything is clear to us, including policies or the current way of life. But we have enough intelligence and intellect to gather whatever is apparent to base our decisions. This collection of information and input that are not fed to us does not lie, for they were apparent and therefore had to be preexisting.

True students of history know the reason why history is taught at all: To prevent people from making the same mistakes. We teach the Holocaust and the atrocities Germany committed in WW2, but do we hate Germany? Of course not, that's absurd. Critical Race Theory creates more awareness for how race was perceived throughout history and how that created the America we live in today. The biggest take away is to literally not make the same mistakes people made in the past. How is this difficult to comprehend?

They don't see that at all!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think it's great. You really don't need to be a scholar or even "well read" or overly well read on any subject to begin to form a practical understanding and relevant opinions. Like I am sure that many 60's student protesters, radicals, stoners, hippies, etc. didn't have a complete, studied, soup-to-nuts understanding on issues like the Viet Nam war, abortion, civil rights, etc. But they took to the streets anyway with just a rudimentary understanding (maybe less), in small numbers and created just enough pressure and notoriety to start getting more and more people to notice and eventually the federal government to concede to their demands. And most of your rank-and-file protesters probably couldn't write even a full paragraph on what it was they were protesting, let alone a long and wordy dissertation. All you really need is to hate something with a passion and want to do something about it; To do something to end it. And then work like he ll to accomplish it. Like the left and Donald Trump. They just knew they hated Trump and worked to try to stop him. Nobody really needed to recite a paper or have read a biography to know what they didn't like about Trump. This Rufo lecture is just the beginning of the fight to combat the social and cultural poison which has long been brewing in the US and wrapping its tentacles throughout our government and educational institutions for decades. This lecture is just the warning shot or "spark" to make the common folk aware, to get people to stand up and take notice. And like Mao said, "Just 1 little spark can set the whole field on fire".
@@ratghost25 Your beginning statement reinforces my comments. It sounds like you’re agreeing with Rufo and you don’t even know what CRT is.
Truly research CRT and then come to a conclusion about the validity of someone’s claims. You use a quote you believe is from a Marxist and Rufo maligns CRT because he believes it’s founded in Marxism.
Do your research. Your comments reinforce the possibility that you’re a regurgitater and not a thinker.
I really appreciate that you're willing to acknowledge the skillfulness of those selling this ideology. A harmful ideology isn't as scary if it's so crazy that people immediately reject it. What makes this so worrisome is that it's being promoted by truly compelling and charismatic voices.

@@spidgeb3292 I think an example of what could be considered a racist law would be the difference in punishment between crack and cocaine (same substance just at different purity levels) because crack was predominantly pushed in black communities while cocaine was more predominantly used by white people. Crack is considered to warrant a more harsh punishment than cocaine, and you may think "oh probably because of crack being more pure" but in actuality cocaine is the more pure substance. The point I'm getting at is that crack was treated more harshly in punishment because of its use by black people. So I think that's a pretty straight forward example of how the system is racist without any overtly racist laws.
@@gucciscrewdriver I see your point, but there's a big difference in crack and cocaine with respect to what it does the communities and individuals. Crack is massively more addictive much more quickly than cocaine, it's cheap (cocaine in the 80s and 90s wasn't), communities were being destroyed by crack usage and distribution, and--this is the important one--black community leaders and mayors practically insisted on harsher penalties for crack distribution. Now, if you want a true white drug-vs. black drug comparison, that would be meth vs. crack. Meth is the drug of poor rural whites. It's cheap, immediately addictive, and destroying communities. That's your better comparison. And penalties for meth and crack are damn near identical.

This is happening in my sons school. It is subtle at this point because he is only in 5th grade but it’s there and creeping it’s way into more and more aspects of his education. I feel overwhelmed by this and because I don’t know who is or isn’t an ally my wife and I feel helpless. My wife and I have spoken up to the “woke” principal and will ALWAYS speak up no matter what. We are also changing schools but we noticed pride flags and blm fists in a couple class rooms when we went to the school’s orientation. I’m in Rhode Island.
"pride flags and blm fists" might not be all that bad, I am more concerned about people saying online that my grandchildren should be ashamed because I did not go to Selma or Birmingham 60 years ago. Even though in my generation the Republicans in the Senate and the HOuse provided the votes for LBJ to pass "those N-Word laws" which is what he said about the civil rights legislation. The minority cannot persecute the majority unless we allow them to do that. And let's not worry about whether the school calls it Critical Race Theory, if they are teaching hatred of white people. A totalitarian by any other name would smell as sweet.

Hi Mr Ruffo. Do you have a website or somewhere else I can go to find citations for all of the things that you said. I believe that CRT is harmful, but because their writings are so voluminous, I have trouble defining it to my liberal friends. So I basically find myself just repeating what they rightly call conservative talking points. Which, they in turn say that I am just making it all up. So to repeat my question, do you have citations from their own writings? Thanks. P. S. Keep up the good fight.
The answer is no. Rufo, and other white conservatives, are getting upset about a delusion they make up... as usual. In short, CRT is frame for, "studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism,, and power" (Delgado & Stefancic 2012: 3). One of the key analytical frames CRT emphasizes, is that racism is not a personal bias but a social institution that perpetuates white supremacy. Racism is about power, not personal bias.
@@fwp3144 Which is why the racism they claim to be fighting is so systemic, which means that it does not occur necessarily in a person, but in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Which is bunkus.
A micro aggression can be literally anything. Anything all all. Which takes it down to nothing other than a perception in the mind of someone who has a dislike for the 'other.' Same thing for that other cute trick - impact versus intent. Whether I claim that what I'm writing right now is an act of aggression based on a wish to belittle, put down, win an argument - or engage in a healthy debate requiring critical thought and the free exchange of words and ideas - if it is claimed to be antagonistic and brimming with an alternative agenda that is racist-based.....and I claim no such intention whatsoever, it does not matter. The 'impact' is all that matters. This breeds a sense of accountability commonly found in toddlers.
In this way, does a series of relationships arise whereupon grievance is aided by these bastard children spawned by critical theory.
Much as parts of major world religions have been twisted and bent out of shape to justify cruelty and inhumane treatment - the logic is much the same. It happens because that's what humans do.
So we're left with the long task of trying to keep the damage reduced to a minimum.

@music Pimento the only delusional one is you, troll
@music Pimento You don’t get it. You are in favor of the indoctrination of children, make them think they are bad for being white, make them feel guilty for nothing. You are in favor of that same thing you are against but once the white people are the affected ones then you don’t care? You are a hypocrite. You don’t know how to change the racist mindset. You don’t change it with racism. No.
@music Pimento Nobody said racism was not a big part of America's history, including Rufo. In fact, at one point in this video, he said there is no denying that racism is a part of American history. Looking at your examples: 1. Jim Crow laws are all abolished; 2) any new home owners association contract that includes a race restrictive covenant is illegal and if any contract has such a provision, states or federal attorneys general would (and should) bring actions to eliminate those covenants from the contracts; and 3) nobody today disputes that what happened in Tulsa 100 years ago was an inexcusable tragedy. Today, while there are individuals of all races who are racist, America by law and Constitution is color-blind. Its principles are to give all citizens equal treatment and opportunity regardless of the citizens' race(s). Critical race theory says to a little kid who has never caused anyone any harm in his life that because of the color of his skin, he is either an privileged oppressor or a oppressed victim. That is absurdity of the first order. Teaching kids that their integrity, industriousness and character are what define them as people is far more productive. Also, anyone who supports the idea of a Department of Anti-Racism which could review and nullify laws without oversight wants to live in an Orwellian hell.
@music Pimento First, you are saying that the people who implement the laws are racist. That is a ridiculous generalization. What is the percentage of the those who are racist? How are the systems racist? I hear a lot of screaming that America's "systems" are racist and next to no examples. And please don't pull this "I am glad you recognize America's racist history" nonsense with me. That is a typical leftist method of making it look like someone who disagrees with you actually agrees with you. I said racism is part of America's history, not that its history is racist. America's history covers a lot of ground and this country is not completely grounded in racism. And you're damn right I don't agree with teaching kids that racism infects our systems. First, as I said, individuals in the systems may be racist, but that does not mean that the racism is all pervasive in the systems. Secondly, these angry little neo-Marxists don't want to to teach kids that racism has to one degree or another infected systems of governance or economics, but to teach them they are harming others or are themselves being harmed based on qualities over which they have no control. Kids should be taught a thorough and honest form of history, math, science and English. Any socialization lessons should be based on integrity, decency and respect for all regardless of race, religion, etc. If these dimwits in education did that, race would not be a national obsession any more and people like Nikole Hannah Jones would be irrelevant. Instead this country has an obsession with race thanks to neo-Marxists who realized that America lacked the necessary class tension.

@music Pimento shut up please
@music Pimento So because some white dudes run a state then the whole state is full of bunch of racist?, and by the way what are you trying to say here?
@music Pimento Maybe because white people are the population majority. Population Majority does not equal White Supremacy. White Supremacy hasn't been relevant for decades.
@Chrisopher, so after showing this to some SJW's they immediately laughed at the communist concept. I had to explain to the then how individual rights works with capitalisms vs identity politics and communism, then they stopped laughing. Please change the beginning of this video to talk about the significance of individual rights.
This did happen.
@Forrest Taylor First, so, do you know how to dig up old conversations on FB? IT was on their wall post, and they post a lot.
Second, are you willing to explain your interest in this subject.
@Forrest Taylor So this talk took place on FB, sjw's post proproganda meme's. When you understand the concept behind a meme, you can make a comment or question about that. I don't directly tell them they are wrong, I argue the theory or concept. In return SJW's might attack, saying your racist or sexist, or ask for proof.
Oh i can't remember meme, but often there's a communist theme, so if you question that it starts the ball rolling. The discussion will evolve because your not attacking them. I post video's that talk about subjects, this was one.This was one. I know this lady she won't watch video's she says it needs to be an written, I would tell her my "proof" is hidden in audio format and insist they watch the video. They would watch the first few minutes and begin laughing and post as such. If I could remember the meme, then I could remember the concept I was aguring, but it came down to individual rights vs identity politics. At some point I remember mentioning Hegal, and tearing down society to replace it with what? She had no answer she admitted it. That's all I can remember.
@Forrest Taylor I'm surprised by SJW's knowledge of Hegel. Seems if you can acknowledge something they know they drop the "shaming language of calling you racist or sexist". I found the meme. "Banning the teaching of systemic racism is actually a perfect example of systemic racism". I posted this video. I wanted them to watch it before I had a discussion, as she wanted to know what it was. She did want my own words. I told her, "she's fighting for racism". It went on from there. Another friend of her joined in and the discussion went on. I think there's over a hundred back and forth comments.

I do say that it’s not predominantly racist now. In fact the United States is one of the least racist places in the world.

@music Pimento Hes not denying Jim crow laws,, hes also not denying that some Americans were and are racist. This video isn't about racism, it's specifically about critical race theory which has little to do with actual racism. Racism has become so politicized and convoluted through CRT that we don't know who's actually racist versus who's not. According to critical race theory “racism = prejudice + power” but this is a convoluted definition because it's often interpreted in colleges to mean that only white people can be racist. Which is wrong. I could go on and on.

According to Maxwell Maltz, in his book Psycho-Cybernetics: "You will
‘act like’ the sort of person you conceive yourself to be. Not only
this, but you literally cannot act otherwise, in spite of all your
conscious efforts or will power. The man who conceives himself to be a
‘failure-type of person’ will find some way to fail, in spite of all his
good intentions, or his will power, even if opportunity is literally
dumped in his lap. The person who conceives himself to be a victim of
injustice, one ‘who was meant to suffer,’ will invariably find
circumstances to verify his opinion."
This is why generational poverty is so pernicious and destructive to a
community. And, it’s why Critical Race Theory is so evil, particularly
when taught to young children. You are teaching them to be life-long
failures who believe themselves to be incapable of success.
Those who are teaching this don’t care about that, because CRT is a
political tool. It’s purpose is to further the cause of Marxism. And if
they have to destroy the lives of a few million children to do that,
what do they care? Marxists have already proven that human life means
nothing to them. Their political system is designed to generate poverty
and promote starvation for the masses. But the top leaders of these
political systems of failure invariably become members of the uber-rich.
When they talk about the transfer of wealth, it’s not from the rich to
the poor… it’s from everyone else to them.
God Bless Christopher Rufo 🙏🏽🇺🇸🙏🏽

I'm of Indian background born in the US and lived here my whole life. But in school for a few years I was put into the ESL program even though I got pretty good grades in English, and fluent in it since I spoke it my whole life.
it happens. I moved from North East USA, NJ to a southern US state when I entered 2nd grade. my teacher was a "southern belle" who spoke very thick "southern drawl" English. Could barely understand her. She thought I was stupid, and stuck me in remedial English (I have above average IQ). I felt bad, but luckily my mom caught on to what was going on during a parent- teacher conference.
e.g. words like "fetch, reckon, yonder, ya'all, fixin" etc were alien to me. Words that she spoke differently like yellow. = "yella". had no idea what a "yella" was.... you yelling at me for something ?!
it took me awhile for my mind to adapt to the change in what i perceived was a very different and peculiar accent.
lastly, im white and my teacher was white at the time.

But they do rightly point out that for much of it's history, those who were responsible for supplying that Western liberal education, excluded women, non-whites, other minorities.

Republicans are doing to the unemployed actually is explained by classic Marxism.
Let me explain. In his magnum opus Capital, Marx argued that a capitalist system will more-or-less automatically produce a population of surplus workers. Businesses become more productive through greater capital investment, which will require more workers in some areas but far fewer in others, and hence this process will always tend to to create an "industrial reserve army" of surplus labor - that is, the unemployed.
This reserve army is very important for classical capitalism. It "becomes … the lever of capitalistic accumulation, nay, a condition of existence of the capitalist mode of production." The reason is that businesses are constantly changing the way they operate, and so always need a large supply of idle workers to fling into new projects on a moment's notice:
The mass of social wealth, overflowing with the advance of accumulation, and transformable into additional capital, thrusts itself frantically into old branches of production, whose market suddenly expands, or into newly formed branches, such as railways, &c., the need for which grows out of the development of the old ones. In all such cases, there must be the possibility of throwing great masses of men suddenly on the decisive points without injury to the scale of production in other spheres.
This industrial reserve army also allows capitalists to better exploit the people they do employ, because it exerts a "competition" that forces workers "to submit to overwork and to subjugation under the dictates of capital."
Fantastic! I plan on sending this to most of my email contacts. Let’s all fight the good fight.
@music Pimento yeah that kid a literal facist. Goes to show the target audience of this video lol
This guy is a pseudo intellectual, please do not take this seriously
Well, he didn't accurately explain the genesis of CRT with regard to Marxism. It actually ties closer to the marxian concept of 'ideology' rather than the proletarian/bourgeois divide. Which is a pretty blatant misunderstanding of the concept as a whole.
If you want to push an ideology, feel free I suppose. If you want to provide an accurate critique of CRT, I'd keep looking

This is why I’m truly moderate. This is heavily right side biased, though I think that’s the point, but it makes almost carbon copy arguments that the left does just with different picked out examples. Both side really just argue around each other because neither wants to give a full picture. I think that’s because it’s a lot more complex than we’d like it to be, so both sides dumb it all down for themselves and the public
Well put together and very precise!
There's a lot of questions I have about CRT.
1. Are albino Africans black?
2. How is all white people the same? For instance an Italian, American and a Norweegan?
3. Is there a color chart to grade one's skin color?
4. Who has more victim points a slave from 200 years ago or the slaves in Africa right now?
1) yes, 2&3) think of a white slave owner from the 1850s - if he would call you white you’re white 4) and it doesn’t matter we live in america and if you love america you should care about the equality of all it’s citizens
@@WithDeionB You know the color of the people who sold the slaves to these white people back then?
So if a white albino African is black and we all descended from Africa then that would make us all black by this logic? You do realise that some indigenous Italians have a dark skin right? So are they white too or are we looking for other features becides skin color? What does CRT say about DNA how much % makes you black or white?
I am simply pointing out how dumb CRT is. Peace
This is the best ever understanding of crt I have ever heard. Read it so u understand what it's really about, every segment as the video pauses and then continues about 4 times.
THANK YOU! You have given us HOPE!
Thank you, Christopher F. Rufo.
But you are far right though. How can anyone take your criticism on race theory seriously?
This guy? Nah he isn't far right. He's just another basic bitch conservative bitching about the evils of "socialism" rather than admitting the wholesale attack on whites that this kind of shit really represents.
crt is not an "academic discipline" It's a belief system
Author and linguist John McWhorter call them "The Elect," and see this as more a religious crusade, which cannot be questioned. He's been doing an open series on this, pre-publication of his book "Woke Racism: How a New Religion has Betrayed Black America."
The fact that this high quality video was produced by someone else rather than me is proof that meritocracy is real and alive and indeed the very basic of successful videos and view count rankings on this very medium.
I do not think anyone understands the importance of civilizations and the meaningful factors that carry a well-stabilized society based on perspective, behaviors, and ultimately, morality. This is no attack for some fraudulent country that desires the means of commerce or some ideology that neglects a selective few of people (minorities) because well, patriotism is rooted in the origins of america and if ANYONE knows history, america is/was not the best.
This comes to the utmost cruciality of what makes a society moral, logical, and stable and that comes with understanding LITERALLY how humans function and behave individually and collectively. If we cannot understand these variables, how are we to better ourselves and each other if we are completely unaware of how to connect or to solve issues with blatant negligence/ignorance?
Critical Race Theory is seriously needed only to combat the passivity and normalized semantics, laws, jokes, and any other subliminal means that attack everyone from succeeding. Race was never supposed to be an issue until it did by considering the darker skinned people or anyone without "wealthy" qualities as low or plebs. Race is indeed a social construct but not what it should be in this modern civilization. Why do you think a majority of minorities are fighting for these rights? Why do you think this idea of CRT began? It is simple cause and effect which was taught in grade school.
Like c'mon. I do not even go to school and this seriously gets on my nerves. Why must it be that negativity is spewed so hastily on different opinions when it can be taken maturely and through an approach that compromise is on the brink in the end of such argument? Not to be bias, but these motives further suggest that people are scared over the dominance of the minority becoming the majority. I could say "what happened to the land of the free?" or such a like that would contradict many from the values you take in from this stubborn, sovereign place.
Feel free to leave questions or responses that do not entail negativity. It will not be tolerated and left unanswered.
Great work
A few points are missing from this excellent video. The entire woke ideology is being pushed by the academic/professional class, I would argue in a divide and conquer strategy against regular people. They do this in an effort to get people to obsess about ra ce (which is no longer a significant source of inequality in America) and entirely ignore CLASS (which is OBVIOUSLY still the major source of inequality in America). The academic/professional class, thus, also gets to pretend to itself that it is on the side of the downtrodden, even while it implements policies that actually harm the working-/lower-middle-classes (e.g., op en im mig ration by un-/low-skilled workers, whom the professional class hires as domestic servants at sla ve wages).
Also, if the political system is focused on alleviation of class-based inequalities, this would likely cause the professional/academic class to be taxed for the benefit of the less fortunate. If the focus is, instead, on ra ce, then the academic/professional class gets to, as I said, pretend it's on the side of the weak (by public proclamations of how--don't make me laugh--"anti-ra cist" they are), without it costing them a dime.
The religion of Woke-ism is a disgusting, dishonest ideology, but it cloaks itself, absurdly and transparently, in a veneer of moralism. It's a scam, both on the country at large and also on the class that is pushing it
very observant, The Rich want us fighting amongst ourselves and not focusing on them; that's why you see Oprah Winfrey (billionaire) interviewing Lebron (going to be a billionairee) and Bill Gates (was richest man b4 divorce) talking about how unfair and racist the country is. In fact one of the reasons companies have gone along with this is; they realize it distracts from all their wealth and it's easier to just pay some money to "consultants" and groups like BLM and force propaganda on their workers than actually clean up their own company or take a look at maybe their board is a little too white or the C-suite isn't so diverse - but you don't see them giving up their titles, stock options or country club memberships anytime soon, do you?
Amen, W8STDTLNT.
@Forrest Taylor CRT is Marxist - whose playing who?
I will like to preface my comment that I have never been the recipient of outright racial discrimination or racist-like confrontations from white Americans. Today (17 JUL 21) I was at two white American establishments, a distillery and a private residence. Those white people I was around, from what I know, are not racist because if they were I would not have (oh, I should have started my comment that I am a black gay American or Black gay man) been in those spaces for long.
However, in regards to CRT, and after everything that has went on from the past few years with the last president, COVID, the election, and state governments passing voting laws because they believe that stupid ass LIE that the election was rigged...I am having a hard time believing this whole "CRT" is a threat thing that's going on right now.
I graduated high school in 2004 in rural NC. I was taught some things about slavery, the Underground Railroad, the Jim Crow era, and the Civil Rights act and the actions that led up to that from two white women teachers. I learned MORE about the plight of black Americans when I took African American History at a historically black university.
If people are so enraged about "CRT" concepts being taught in grade schools, like Rufo stated...then call these schools out! What's the name of the school. He only listed the cities where this supposedly taken place. What is the name of the principal and teacher. If yall need to attack CRT then put these grade schools on blast.
Do I believe that all white Americans are inherently racist - NO. History alone will tell us that's NO true. For example read up on the Underground Railroad. That system for slaves was successful because white Americans DID help with that. Were they inherently racist???
This whole communist/Marxist bs I feel is a dog whistle for some white Americans to fight to keep people who look like them in power and running OUR country. I feel they do not want to see a multi-racial/ethnic federal or state government and they are in "fear/rage" of them losing "power". I feel that this is nothing more than a continuation of the bs that clown of a president started several years ago. And there's ENOUGH proof of that. Go ahead and keep believing and adding to THE BIG LIE.
Oh, and call these schools out about them teaching CRT concepts just like how those white Americans who were caught actually saying racist things were called out! I'm waiting.........
Great work Rufo!!!
Thank you for the truth.
As terrifying as this sounds for America, just imagine what it sounds like to a white South African. In my country less than 9% of the population is white, so identity politics and racial policies are already rife. Government failures are routinely blamed on 'white monopoly capital', and the abolition of (white) property rights is a topic of serious discussion at the highest levels of government.
That’ll someday be our future too if this idea of hating others based on skin color and crimes of the past that current people are innocent of continues. Because in the near future white people won’t be the majority of the population of the US.
Hatred no matter from who is bad.
We are all human and all related. All part of the same human family.
It was also very likely that we would marry into different families in the future, which is natural. “Race” is a concept that hasn’t always existed. And it’s not worth hating each other over.
I grew up in the 90s and people were treated as equals. We were happy. I know of people with different skin color that got married from my high school.
I miss the 90s so much. It was a much better time. Where people really did focus on character versus background. Didn’t matter if you were rich, poor, black or white. If you were a nice kid other kids wanted to play with you. If you were mean, then other kids didn’t want to play.
I grew up with a disability I struggled with too but even I made great friends in high school.
I really really miss those times.
Outstanding video - the best on this topic I have seen.
Yes. This video needs to be shown in all classrooms if these idiotic school boards are adamant about pushing their crt agenda onto the students.
@@brett19890 seems like a good video to learn a lesson about propaganda. The actual content is awful in terms of learning about critical race theory.
You took the words right out of my mouth. James Lindsay is really good on this topic too, although I do not trust an atheist much regardless of their brain.
@@clif25 your joking right?
this was a good one as well ua-cam.com/video/2rDu_VUpoJ8/v-deo.html
Context! Thank you. It was observed in the 60s that you don't find the champions of reason and logic clogging the streets with their bodies. This is not new. It just has a new "skin."
Virginia was the first Big Domino.
Amazing explanation 👏👌👍
9:00 I was not able to find a survey conducted by Gallup with these results. I did, however, find these numbers in a survey published by the Cato Institute.
While that fact does not invalidate the entire video, misrepresenting a source _is_ a form of plagiarism, whether done intentionally or not. You need to be more careful in the future.
I'd encourage you to look for more evidence for the so-called 'facts' he mentions. Many of the definitions he gives are lies easily debunked by a casual Google search.
Is Yuri Bezmenov a time traveler? Dude's lecture was extremely accurate to what's happening today.
Also, why are we Asians also oppressors? I get it that we're more successful than any Race in America, but that's just because hardwork is engraved in Asian Culture.
That is exactly why you are labeled as oppressors. BLM and racists on the left dont want you successful and financially independent, they want you poor, uneducated and totally dependent on the government. Besides, by being successful you make blacks look bad.
Lmao 🤣
Thank GOD, you have made this Chris. I was literally just thinking how badly we needed a well presented 20m documentary on what CRT is and precisely why we need to band against it.

@@derrickbell24 Thank you. This is a fantastic list of questions. I'm not sure 99% of people need to have this much information regarding legal cases, but some of the other components on tenants and history are quite important.
Going to come up with succint answers on all of these.
Great video.
I don't understand how you don't have 100x views. The most intelligent, on point, direct, understandable contents out there.
Well done, Mr. Rufo
What a great video. I have been trying to read all the academic books and papers. I have an Master's degree from a very liberal university (20 years ago now), and it was hard for me wrap my head around, much less try to explain it. This video is going out to all my friends and trusted coworkers. Thank you for your courage!!
@Anna Murray Douglass - Abolitionist (cough bot cough)
Wait, wait, so you left university without any critical thinking skills?
...Didd you graduate?
Anna muray who?
Although I think you overplay the Marxist influence at the beginning, I appreciated how you drew the distinction between Premise and Conclusion at around the 10 minute mark. I have been trying to articulate something similar to people who are absolutely vehement about decrying CRT. I would like to bridge the divide between those who abhor the conclusions of CRT (as you call them -- I'd call them the forms of its implementation) and those who see hope for positive change (not Marxist change) by bringing to light the premises of CRT. Your video from 10:46 to 12:51 in particular may help me do that in my own circle of influence.
Don't waste your time with Rufo, he is a political operative gaslighting CRT. You are on the right track, keep doing your own research, you will not find any Marxism in CRT; it is not concerned with economic systems. Here is the link to a 3rd party explanation as opposed to you depending on my objectivity. ua-cam.com/video/vLBapXx9sTs/v-deo.html
Excellent job!
@music Pimento I'm not a Trump supporter (I'm not american). I also dislike racists marxists because I believe in decent societies that have food to eat.
I also know more about Jim Crow laws than you it seems.
Well done.
@music Pimento Time to wake up my friend and start living in the moment. See Jesse Lee Peterson for help.
Christopher Rufo is a new American hero.
I'm posting this on my Facebook. Everyone else do the same! Talking about it and insulting the left solves NOTHING.
Very necessary for people to know this.
This is terrifying! I've noticed similar ideological ideas in my country. We have to fight back!
Which country do you live ?
@@ujjalsharma621 he livesin Greece, or possibly Macedonia.
@@Gizziiusa How tf would or why would you wanna know that
Extremely well laid out. Thank you Mr Rufo for your tireless fight!
Are you wanting to erase history or ignore it because it assumes a collective guilt that you feel should be amended? instead of rectifying it? The slave trade, their lives as slaves, and their treatment after should not be spoken off because it happened when you were not alive and it shames your race? So should all history be erased? including the story of how the settlers landed in Plymouth rock and all the way through the revolutionary war? Is this "collective guilt" the fact that you descend from racist and you want to ignore it and perceive it never happened? African American's should just ignore that they descend from slaves that were victims of human trafficking, sex trafficking, and inhumane living conditions.....so whites in 2021 can feel better about themselves? Is it that Critical Race theory is such a "threat" because It points out unequal outcomes of systems and institutions. Admitting that a certain group benefits does not place blame or impose guilt, unless you refuse to acknowledge and help dismantle those unequal systems....a ploy to stay the dominant race and relevant?
@@christianfiggz7057 exactly. Slick justification to continue the bigotry and the "Great American tradition" of white Christian supremacy.
Have you been able to get on any of the Fox Shows like Hannity or Laura Ingraham? This video needs to be megaphoned across the land, indeed across the planet.
Yes...and no. Preaching to the choir, and being on Fox is a thing that Der Wokenvolkstasi have made into an instant label of heretic. (Mixed metaphor intentional). Rufo is articulate on this, we need voices like his to be heard within the Wokeist cult.
Rufo is a hero.
Jumped straight from Marxism to Critical Theory, with no mention of the Frankfurt School. One guess why.
Wym?
Can you post references, specifically backup to the claim that CRT believes equality is a smokescreen for white supremacy? This is a powerful anti-American point but I need the primary source.
No they can’t. It’s total BS! The real question is why are they lying about it
@@angelnova6802 It can be comforting to claim that someone you disagree with is lying. Can YOU provide evidence of a lie? Please expose the lie.
You can read his reports yourself. The one on Sandia National Laboratories is especially disturbing.
@@johnhenry4 Notice that he doesn’t mention racism at all in this video… black churches and grocery stores are being shot up. Why is that?
@@kaizahjones99 it is a crazy person lone wolf rather than a movement
It's a beautiful thing you got going here. Pure marketing genius.
