When y’all are attempting to both sides the CRT/Christianity issue, just tell me again how we can adequately address racism without (1) recognizing “race” as a social construction, (2) recognizing racism as endemic to our contingent, historically created liberal order,
(3) having skepticism toward supposed “race-neutral” legal and social standards and policies, including “merit,” “objective tests,” etc.,
(4) seeing our current racial distribution of social and economic goods as rooted in historical ideas, systems, and policies, forged even in the earliest periods of colonial America,
(5) privileging the unique voice of those who necessarily function within both dominate and subaltern social contexts, (6) seeking to address racial subordination as it manifests variably among differing racial and ethnic groups,
(7) recognizing intersections of social locations as unique sites of socially imposed hierarchy and subordination, and (8) commitment to changing the subordinated circumstance of historically marginalized people-groups, not just their subordinated formal status???
I’m all ears.
I’m all ears.
(I also think that's a pretty good summary of what Critical Race Theory ACTUALLY is, no?)
