"I'm right because I read books you've never heard of written by people with no qualifications who meticulously constructed an entire worldview upon nothing more than citogenesis."
These zealots paid tens of thousands of dollars to launder their own bigotry and stupidity through a complicit University system. Their college degrees are fraudulent. They were never students. They were soldiers training for war.
I see reasonable people vs. completely whacked out morons like this:
Hi Naftoli: all due respect returned--I am a college professor who has been reading critical race theory for thirty years. Asking parents to sign an anti-racism pledge, and doing diversity work, is not critical race theory, and labeling it as such is a right-wing political project. I recommend you read Derrick Bell, Regina Austin, and Kimberlé Crenshaw to learn what this field is really about.
Yeah, this is a Leftist defense mechanism the same way that Vaush claimed on Tim Pool's podcast that the "time is whiteness" claim was made by some random PHD student and not one of the leading CRT advocates in the field.
It's good that he rejects Critical Theory, but he has a long way to go.
I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin.
Race is not simply skin color, it's far more than that. Race, or rather genetics, is a significant factor on how people think. Different races have different preferences and standards, that leads to different cultures.
By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, fought, and died.
The "racial equality" movement was always going to end like this. At best it's a racial ceasefire for a period of time. However it was mostly a movement to get average white people to stop thinking as a group and accept "diversity" instead at their expense.
l object to Brearley’s advocacy for groups and movements such as Black Lives Matter, a Marxist, anti family, heterophobic, anti-Asian and anti-Semitic organization that neither speaks for the majority of the Black community in this country, nor in any way, shape or form, represents their best interests.
Plenty of second-hand victimhood there, would you care to call it anti-white? It's not bad to care about the well being of your family and people like you. It doesn't always need to be done through proxy of "helping everybody" to justify it.
The number one priority of a school has always been, and always will be, education.
Wrong, the number one priority has been indoctrination. Especially since the 1960's and onwards. This applies to the news as well, which is education for the adults.

Over the years, I have grown increasingly convinced that had MLK not been assassinated, he would have eventually become the same kind of race grifter as Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters. He would ultimately have been forced to pursue something more radical than 'by the content of their character' by the 1980's in order to maintain his relevance.

This is quite bizarre. Race does make differences, but if it affects preferences and standards, it does so indirectly. It certainly does not have a 'significant factor' in how people think.

And how then do you explain the times in history when race was not a factor?
This applies to the news as well, which is education for the adults.
It is mote than just IQ. Races have personality profiles, for example in relation to their in-group and out-group feelings, or in having low or high time preferences. Or in the incidence of Dunning.Kruger, which has a high incidence among negroes.
None of this is terribly surprising. I don't see how this shows that race 'determines' thinking.
It depends on what's meant by it. "How people think" is a weird phrase given the context, I'd go more with, "it defines who we are" in many ways.
That sounds more reasonable. I don't think it should though. I have far more in common with someone who shares my culture than someone who shares my race and does not share my culture.
Exceptions to the rule exist. It's kinda like someone saying "Psychopaths are bad for society," and you asking "How do you explain x or y psychopath."
Multiracial societies that are not stratified by ethnicity are new. So it should not surprise that it's the exception that there were times when it can be demonstrated that race was not a factor.
I don't think multiracial societies do work. But in theory, they could work. If there was something greater that was shared by all the members, say religion, which overshadowed race.
Preferences, standards, and emotions, are all inherently genetic. Of course experience is significant as well, but that comes after genetics. The brain is a biological organ and is not unique in how much genetics affects it.
Which "times in history" would you say that is. As far as I can see it has always been a significant factor. Through ancient history, to modern history. Of course there are always exceptions, but I'm talking about the scale of millions of people interacting with each other.

We are meat computers. Just because you can't see the changes in the wiring as easily as you can see a different color of PCB doesn't mean they aren't present.
Gotta love how one side of the comments posts detailed comments with examples and data and well thought out points, and then the response from the other side is "There are just so many racists here." Did the left forget how to argue? Who am I kidding, we know accusations have replaced arguments for at least a decade.
The White Supremacist is not doing so well against most of the people. All she(?) can do is harp about people seemingly being racist all while harping about the imagined White Supremacy that the woke left follow so tightly to.
I like the "no one is forcing you to send your kids to private school." Like I wonder if they review every product or service this way.

How 'bout no?
These people really need to hear "go fuck yourself you pretentious, pious, twat" more often.
He can't summarize the argument? Then he doesn't understand the argument.
It doesn't need to understand, only to regurgitate.
It's also impossible to understand. By design.
College professors belong inside a volcano in Minecraft of course.

The word 'education' has become laughable.
Race and IQ are virtually inseparable. If that doesn't make a difference in thinking then I don't know what does.
It is mote than just IQ. Races have personality profiles, for example in relation to their in-group and out-group feelings, or in having low or high time preferences. Or in the incidence of Dunning.Kruger, which has a high incidence among negroes.
So what kind of deterministic effect do you think that IQ would have on 'thinking'? People of all IQs have the entire range of beliefs.
Low IQ make Trayquarius not think good, him go ooga booga some Nikes from Foot Locker.

Perhaps you mean the "anti-racism" in the soviet union.
Stalin was one of the few Bolsheviks who was a rabid anti-Semite, ironically.
What times? The Byzantine Empire, where Greek culture was the most important factor and not race.
