Why Is NPR Afraid To Say Critical Race Theory?

For the same reason that you can watch a news item on a crime and guess the race of the perpetrator specifically because it wasn't mentioned.

It's not about the truth or even the news. It's about the narrative.

Journalists are the new censors.

They truly believe it is their job to pick what news you read.

That lispy queer literally described journalists as gatekeepers of information.

They're hiding their power level, even from their own followers. You can't just say:

"Each and every single white person alive today, and many non-whites as well, who make any amount of money, or incur any general social benefit from established institutions or capitalism are white supremacists, by default, from birth. Each and every single white person alive today is guilty of the crimes of their race. In order to compensate morally superior races for the plight that all whites have oppressed them with, white individuals must lose all of their material possession, and become absolutely obedient to the orders of their racial betters when it comes to re-distributing wealth from inferior oppressor races & allied minority individuals to superior deserving people of our designation. This includes self-sacrifice to the point of death. These are not requests, it is a moral imperative for a white person to volunteer themselves to be used as a human shield. You will not, under any circumstance, be forgiven for the crimes of your race."

and expect most normies to listen to you.

If the Left showed their power level, most normies would reach for a gun.

Instead they smile and use reductionism to hide their intentions. Look at what the SJWs were doing with Feminism. They kept saying "Being a feminist means you just believe that women should have rights!" because they did not under any circumstance want the general public to be aware of the details of their actual ideological framework. They swept their own narrative history under the rug to sell feminism. They would never even acknowledge the history of the things feminism actually did.

It's very similar to what most cults do, like Scientology. People don't realize much now that the whole Xenu thing was vociferously denied by Scientologists for years. Within Scientology, this is considered "hidden knowledge" that would literally kill people who heard it if they were not at a certain rank within the organization. Scientology still denies Xenu, and it's their own narrative. They do it because they do not want people to actually hear their whole position, because they know it's repellent.

Consider the opposite perspective from Science. A good scientist, or at least someone knowledgeable in science, won't hide a fucking thing from you. In fact, you have to try and keep them on track from going into too much detail and confusing you. What they know, they know because they've gone through a lot of work and learning to explain how things interact. They don't want to be reductive, but you have to ask them to be reductive or you'll just be thrown for a loop.

They don't want to say Critical Race Theory, because if they did, people (including their own useful idiots) might look shit up independently and start reading on their own without having a lecturer 'guide' them to the right conclusion.

Even the most distasteful church I've encountered didn't keep their beliefs a secret. In fact, they would stand out in public with a giant sign telling everyone that they believe that 99% of the people around were going to go to hell.

Well, not all churches are cults.

These "progressive" leftists always use motte and bailey tactics to advance their agendas.

They are now learning to hide their power level more than ever before with critics like James Lindsay and Christopher F. Rufo revealing their deeply held beliefs.

The problem is getting them to express their racialist variant of Marx ideology in full and in the public's eye.

Light is the best weapon to appeal to the normies in order to truly stop them.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Most of the time, normies just need to be exposed to the danger and educated in how to confront it in their daily lives. ... But I don't think the left is going to allow that to happen. I think they are going to enrage the normies out of nothing more than petty, bitter, resentfulness.

If the normies all move in one direction in anger, the best thing anyone can do is urge them to calm down lest you get culled in their fairly uncontrolled but overwhelming fury.

If the normies thrust, give them whatever the hell they want and back off.

Here's a recent example from Tucker Carlson of all places.

It reports on Jake Gardner's suicide but very blatantly chooses not to show any pictures of the person who attacked him. Why are they still self-censoring? What the hell do you have to lose at this point?

Trump really is the west's last stand, isn't he. If this critical race theory crap continues to infect the west, eventually the economies are going to crumble then good luck affording a strong military. China will win without firing a single shot, and the worst part about it is we did it to ourselves because we didn't want to bother raising our children right.

Propaganda isn't suppose to tell you facts, it's meant to sway emotion in the direction the propaganda wants the subject to go.

Conservative media should reject the label "racial sensitivity training" and just call it "race training". It's simple and to the point without bias and allows discussion of the content without implicitly being "insensitive".

Same as with mostly peaceful CNN headlines. What do you expect, actual unbiased news in 2020?

That’s a nice motte you’ve got there, NPR. I mean who could possibly object to racial sensitivity training?

Surprise! It’s communism!

They don't want anybody hearing about Critical Theory unless it's from their professor at a major university in order to indoctrinate them. Especially not if you try to point out how it was developed by marxists in Weimar Germany.

M.E. Hart, an attorney who has run hundreds of diversity training sessions for businesses and the federal government, told The Washington Post: "If we are going to live up to this nation's promise — 'we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal' — we have to see each other as human beings, and we have to do whatever it takes, including taking whatever classes make that possible. These classes have been very powerful in allowing people to do that, and we need them more than ever. There's danger here."

Right there you have the mindset of someone who is advocating for equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity. The "classes" don't do jack shit when it comes to making it so that "we see each other as human beings", because they're all about tearing down the 'white male patriarchy oppressor', rather than trying to elevate those who have been marginalized.

What exactly do you think they're trying to hide by ommiting the person's gender?

Not him, but he’s thinking Hart is a woman who’s peddling this shit.
