It’s not even grammatical evil nonsense.

“It is important to rearticulate notions of white responsibility in order for white people to be able to be acknowledging their white complicity …”

“to be able to be acknowledging”?

Really?

White Complicity Pedagogy will not help, because a great many people—particularly but not limited to white people—will see that the call for racial justice made here requires racial injustice—racial scapegoating—and will want nothing to do with such an evil project.

It is no good to protest how much “good” Hitler did for the Germans, given his means …

It is incoherent to say “I want racial justice, but I want racial injustice too.”

That is the basic move of Critical Race Theory:

“I demand RACIAL JUSTICE and also RACIAL INJUSTICE!”

or

“We must DO INJUSTICE FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE!”

That’s not how justice works at all.

When someone says “I want *justice*—but also *injustice*!” … they don’t really want justice.

They want *revenge*.

They want to *punish*. They want to inflict pain and cruelty with a *good conscience*.

Don't you think the witch-hunters took *pleasure* in burning accused witches alive?

Of course they did. It was the sick pleasure of revenge, hidden under a cloak of righteousness.

That is the pleasure those who buy into CRT want today.

And it is just as ugly now and always.

But they have NO RIGHT to torment innocent people, especially children, just because their own self-righteousness leads them to think they can do no wrong—that whatever feeds their sick desires to punish and torment is justified by their own, evident-to-themselves goodness.

And really, that’s what we have here, nothing more: the rancor of sick people with a desire to exercise their will-to-power by self-righteously inflicting pain on innocent and helpless victims.

How it makes them squirm in ecstasy to inflict torment!
