The difference between liberals, conservatives & critical race theorists in one tweet

Liberals: 'America is failing to live up to its promises when it comes to equality'

Conservatives: 'No it's not.'

Critical Race Theorists: 'What promises? Those were never meant for everyone'

Fundamentally this is the key distinction. The right thinks racial disparities are the fault of those on the bottom. Liberals think we just haven't quite perfected our system. CRTs say this is exactly what the system was meant to produce...

One can agree or disagree with any of these, in turn, or perhaps come up with some hybrid of them if you choose. But to say one school of thought (CRT) is forbidden and too dangerous to allow people to hear is authoritarian thought control

we ought to be able to discuss and debate theories to explain racial disparity in America. And if the right is allowed to be taken seriously when it blames biology/genes (Bell Curve) or Black culture "defects" surely the left should be allowed to argue for systemic injustice
