The New Cathode Ray Tube

It wasn't that long ago that our TVs and monitors were predicated on the cathode ray tube (CRT). Large and bulky and even quite dangerous, they've been replaced. Now it's Critical Race Theory (CRT). This new CRT is here. It isn't coming. It isn't potential. It is here. It is in your colleges and universities, in your high schools, and in your elementary schools. It is being given tenure at your universities. It is even available in classes online. It is in your workplace and in your government and in your military. It's in the National Institute of Health. It walks about in cheap clothing -- sorry, "sheep's clothing" -- sounding innocuous with words like "inclusivity" and "diversity." And it is not optional. Submit ... or else.

What is it? CRT is a product of European Marxism that links racism, race, and power. The primary concern of CRT is power. In the name of racial justice, CRT teaches that white people are racists and males are sexist and privilege belongs to the power base. Thus, the aim in every situation is to be critically conscious and submit all aspects of life to the search for the oppressor and the oppressed. If someone disagrees, that's clearly a sign of "oppressor" or, at best, a tool of oppression, and proof of racism and/or sexism. This "oppressed/oppressor" perspective is the aim of CRT's sister, intersectionality, where each person finds the intersections in their life with other oppressed people. CRT teaches that racism is systemic or that being non-racist is impossible. In short, CRT teaches everybody to identify as either "oppressed" or "oppressor."

On one hand, CRT runs absolutely contrary to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's dream of judging by character rather than skin color. On the other hand it adds so much more. Working together, CRT and Intersectionality take a broad swipe at all of modern society. It faults all white people by definition, males, democracy, capitalism, the wealthy, Christianity -- all those perceived as "the haves" -- and pits them against the "have nots" under these new definitions. Rather than identifying people as, you know, people, it identifies them by race and sex and sexual orientation and anything that is perceived as being "oppressed." Many conervatives have attacked CRT as a Marxist threat to our civilization. While they outwardly deny it, it is unavoidable that faulting all that defines America -- freedom, capitalism, democracy, etc. -- will require the elimination of all that defines America.

CRT is not "if." It's here. And you may not see it coming. I mean, are we not opposed to racism? Do we not oppose fascism? (Think "antifa.") Are we against inclusion and diversity? So do they! But rest assured. They've hollowed out those words, reinvested them with new meaning, and require you to agree with the new message or else. The new Fascism isn't coming; it's here. This new morality is right around the corner. And if you're white, you should be informed because you're the problem. A white male? More of the problem. A Christian white male? If you answer "yes" to that and are a heterosexual to boot, you epitomize the opposite of Intersectionality. You are the ultimate oppressor. You can't change your race, adjust your sex, change Christianity, or alter your sexual orientation. I'm sorry, but there is no fixing you. You're going to have to go. When words like "inclusive" and "diversity" are used to enforce exclusivity and sameness, you can be sure you'll never be able to talk your way out of this paper bag. Because if you come out and say you're opposed to CRT, that is classified as proof of racism and you're done.
