I'll take a swing
The narrative says:
- all unequal outcomes are necessarily because of racism
- that racism is at the foundation of every aspect of American culture and economy
- that America is irredeemably racist and any evidence to the contrary is only given by racists
- that no culture can have problems in of themselves, even if they intersect with systemic racism and oppression, without them being wholly laid at the feet of racism. African American criminals murder asian americans in the street? Blame the racism of white people.
Framing CRT merely as a movement against racism is
A. Complete b.s. and is missing just how far it's extending the debate and moving the goalpost so far that the only thing someone part of a "privileged" skin-tone can do is self-flagellate, while asking for forgiveness as if their whiteness is akin to some religious "original sin" they must atone for, forever.
B. Ignoring the racism that CRT itself perpetuates through it's increased push for segregated ceremonies, separate national anthems, etc.. Not to mention it's continued racism of low expectations in lowering academic standards .
