In summary, in this series, I examine how race shapes society and social interactions. I suggest that racism is deeply embedded in our culture and that it is pervasive in everyday life. I argue that critical race theory drives a wedge between different racial communities and promotes anti-realism and separatism. I conclude by stating that critical race theory leads to feelings of guilt and mistrust between the two races. My advice is that it is important for people of all races to understand the implications of this theory and be open to discussing it.
Do you ever feel great when you learn that it is someone who did not look like who committed a crime? Or even proud when it is someone who looks like you who achieved something great? Well, you are either racist or hypocrite or both and either way it is normal to wish good for our kind and bad for not our kind. All who we are and however we deal with others is based on our race and their race.
This series discusses critical race theory and how it further divides us to become our own minoritized or majoritized racial group. Let’s begin; shall we?
Martin Luther King’s dream of judging people based on their character and values, rather than the color of their skin, has not been realized. People are still judged based on their race, and no matter what their race is, they are still victims of racism.
According to critical race theory, the most important thing about you is not your value, your behavior, or your qualifications but your race or the color of your skin. The way you succeed, the way others treat you, and the way you behave are based on your race. That theory holds that if you are a minority, the system is rigged against you, and conversely, if you are white, you are privileged, and the system is built to make you succeed.
Critical race theory places institutions, workplaces, and even stores in a tight situation where they wonder who to address or hire first when the choice is between a black person or a white person. If the institution addresses or employs the black person, the white person will claim discrimination because the CEO rejected him based on his race, regardless of his values and character. On the other hand, if the institution addresses or hires the white person, the black person would claim that the boss is a racist.
As you can see, both the white person and the black person would feel that the system discriminates against them because critical race theory takes the merit system notion out of the equation.
Let me show how critical race theory leads us to find issues where they are supposed to be none.
The five police officers who killed Tyre Nichols were all blacks. In less than 30 days, they were fired, judged, and sentenced. Critical race theory proponents advanced that the justice system handled the situation so quickly because the officers were blacks. If they were whites, the process would have taken more than six months as it was for Michael Brown and George Floyd.
The killing of Tyre Nichols proves that not only white officers kill black people or that police officers whether they are black or white simply kill people whether they are blacks or whites. On that note, I wonder if the killings black people by white police officers is police brutality or police racism. I wonder how the black lives matter movement would have reacted if the police officers who killed Tyre Nichols were whites. And yet, they reacted negatively because the justice system worked too fast for these five black officers.
Critical race theory promotes a damn if you do, damn if you don’t logic. It bullies blacks to think that white people are exploiters and white people to believe that they are losing benefits because of affirmative action and diversity inclusion. Either way, when either race does not get what they deserve, they are victims of racism.
Critical race theory enforces racism, infects people’ minds, and drives them further apart. It is a double-edged sword that makes both black and white people feel guilty and uneasy about their background.
