On a mass scale, those opposed to CRT know a hell of a lot more about the doctrine (and, more importantly, its methods in application) than those who claim to support it.
Sounds illogical on its face, but I believe it's true. People like myself who are passionately against it spend a lot of time on it. Most parents in, say, Northern Virginia don't even know what they're supporting.

"Anti-racism"? Of course! Only a racist would be against that.
While they sure claim to be, these aren't serious people. If they are, they're consumed by a show.

It's like watching an orgy of moral righteousness...
And they're just absolutely everywhere right now! It's trendy. 🙃

The below tweet ruffled a lot of feathers last night. It also provoked some solid discourse. I view both as good things.

I wanted to add a few comments, as I find myself repeating the same points over and over. Maybe this can lead to a second more-focused round of discussion.
First, if you received that tweet to mean I was implying the James Lindsays of the world are more in depth scholars of CRT than its studied proponents, you missed the point entirely. That tweet had nothing to do with scholars of any kind; hence, "mass scale".
I fleshed out what I meant in the immediate response below. Your typical soccer mom in Loudoun County who publically throws their support behind CRT, doesnt even have a surface-level understanding of what they're claiming to support.

"Only a racist would be against Anti-Racism!"

So, this went viral today because of Ben Affleck. But that's not what struck me about it...

What did was how god-awfully artificial this woman looks. It looks like something you'd get out of a vending machine! There is no "beauty" in this.

WTF are women doing to themselves?!?
Men aren't attracted to this. And if they are, they're not the men you want.
So much about our present time really could be summed up as "plastic", huh? Everything is a stage; there's such a lack of authenticity.

The byproduct of "anti-racist" ideology is "I hate white people".
I'm going to post this same tweet every day until I see the VCU story covered on a mainstream outlet.

I'm NOT against people getting the vax. I'm NOT calling it a conspiracy. I want everyone to conduct their own analysis/decision. I believe the public presentation (threat & vax) is being distorted.

If me pushing back on this upsets you, honestly, I'd rather you just unfollow me.
Right on fucking cue!

Follow this chronology...

The NYT staff once infamously held a town hall meeting where they openly discussed a desired shift to coverage of racism/white supremacy in America. The goals of manufacturing this narrative were stated plainly.

Here are the receipts from that work:
In August of 2019, one of our nation's top race-hustlers, @nhannahjones, releases The 1619 Project via the NYT. It is presented as an alternative "history" of America. Critical word.

Go back and read the coverage of the project at that time. "Glowing" doesn't do it justice.
In 2020, at the height of the manufactured zombie-like fervor over race in this country, the 1619 Project is awarded a Pulitzer Prize.

It doesn't get more legitimate than that. 🏆

Timely!
