I don't think "we're not all like that" is a good answer to the videos of black people going round.

Everyone knows we're not ALL like that. The point is that a staggering proportion of us ARE like that and that no other race has a similar proportion of members behaving this way.

And as someone else said in relation to those videos, CRT and DEI ideologies encourage or endorse that behaviour by implying that it's somehow justified, or implying that they're victims of Systemic this and Structural that, so if they behave abominably we should just understand.

It was @JoelWBerry who said that earlier. He wrote "Congratulations Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi! You did it!" on one of those videos.

So that's the point. The CRT ideology implicitly justifies that behaviour by describing criminal justice, police, etc, as Systemic Racism.

This is one core reason why DEI is an evil ideology, and why it's a terrible thing that it's being forced on everyone in schools, universities, workplaces, all institutions.

We're embedding this idea in society, that black people who behave this way are totally justified.

What's going on here is the usual abject failure of most people to realise that bad policies have bad consequences.

People support bad policies on grounds that "it will work very well if it's done properly" then decry the bad outcomes.

This is one bad outcome of DEI policies.

Displacing the idea of universal human nature with CRT and other forms of identity politics has been a great loss to humanity.

Now many think behaving with respect towards fellow human beings is just "performing whiteness" so if you're black you don't have to do any of that.

There have always been bad people in society, and there will always be such people for as long as there's life on earth.

The difference is when we devote all our law, policies, and institutions to supporting, endorsing and defending the bad people, and disempowering the good.

Equality before the law. It's the only way.

The "special rights for special races" system is not working.

Not saying DEI explains ALL the criminal behaviour you see in those videos, but it certainly endorses and justifies it.

The anti-racists who are to blame for this justify their position as follows:

This bad behaviour isn't because we're genetically inferior or have low IQs. Oh, no, siree. Therefore it MUST be that we're behaving badly due to Systemic Racism. Why, what other reason could there be?

CRT "antiracists" believe there are ONLY TWO CAUSES of everything:
1. Genetic inferiority
2. Systemic racism

You must choose one or the other, there are NO other causal factors.

Any other causes that anyone identifies are simply euphemisms for one of the two categories above.
