Conservative Christians attack Critical Race Theory for supposedly teaching that whites today should be held responsible for the sins of their fathers & are inherently racist. Yet they believe humans are held responsible today by God for original sin, & are inherently sinful...
2/ Fact is, CRT doesn't say whites are inherently racist, bc it rejects the notion of races as categories with inherent tendencies/traits. And the idea that the nation should be responsible for its history of oppression is not a CRT idea. It's a basic moral principle of justice..
3/ But the right DOES believe in inherent tendencies. Sinfulness for humans (all Eve's fault of course, bc they like blaming women for things), for instance. And it is right-wingers who embraced The Bell Curve which suggests biological inferiority for Black people...
4/ Everything conservatives say about others is projection. They are the ones who commit voter fraud (as per the prosecuted cases lately). It's the conservative youth pastor likely to be molesting the kids, not the member of Democratic Socialists of America...
5/ It's the Sothern Baptists who have the highest divorce rates even as they rant about the sanctity of marriage and the family. The examples are legion. These people are a walking psychology textbook: exhibits A-Z in deflection and projection. It's fascinating. Also dangerous.
