Critical Race Theory Demonizes White Americans

UPDATE 10.24.23: At OCPA, Ray Carter reports on views that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” education runs counter to the protection in the 14th Amendment. He writes:

In recent years colleges across the nation, including in Oklahoma, have incorporated “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programming throughout the college experience.

But at a legislative study this week, experts from across the country warned Oklahoma lawmakers that those programs are likely illegal and could create significant financial liability for the state.

“DEI is expensive. It’s counterproductive. And it’s often unlawful,” said Adam Kissel, visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

James Lindsay, a professor and national expert on Critical Race Theory (CRT), DEI, and similar topics, noted the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees equality under the law—and that “equity” is a goal that often undermines equal treatment since equity requires outcomes in proportion to the population share of any identity group.

In practice, that means discrimination against some groups and special treatment for others based on race or other identity factors.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down race-based admissions at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina, which both discriminated against Asian and white applicants to boost student numbers from other groups, he said many DEI programs are now on shaky legal ground.

“Equity violates the 14th Amendment and the lawsuits will come,” Lindsay said.

In LewRockwell.com, Paul Craig Roberts explains how Democrats, via the industrialized educational system, have used Critical Race Theory to demonize white Americans. He writes (abridged):

The Democrats in the latter half of the 20th and early 21st centuries transitioned from a reform party into  America’s worst enemy.

Essentially, the Democrats destroyed America.

They replaced the white population with Third World “people of color” who have different values and different cultures.  Assimilation was halted.

It was the Democrats who imposed disunity on America.

It was the Democrats who changed the immigration laws and overran a white population with people of color living off of handouts imposed on the white population.

It was the Democrats who invented Identity Politics and who institutionalized in the educational system Critical Race Theory and Systemic Racism that demonize white Americans.

It was Democrats who destroyed Equality Under the Law by violating the statutory basis of the Civil Rights Act and imposing racial quotas, a form of preferment before the law.

It was Democrats who sicced women on men.  Men became oppressors unless they were homosexuals.  If they were straight white men, they were triple-time oppressors—women, persons of color, and homosexuals.

Washington relies on Southern “redneck racists” to fight its wars.  With the destruction of the statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, no real Southerner will ever again fight for the United States. Robert E. Lee as a person is so far superior to any person currently in Washington or Richmond, the Pentagon, state capitols, media, universities, wherever, that to desecrate Lee’s memory is to desecrate the country.  Now that America is self-desecratated, it has no future.

Paul Craig Roberts, a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, has been reporting shocking cases of prosecutorial abuse for two decades. A new edition of his book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, co-authored with Lawrence Stratton, a documented account of how americans lost the protection of law, has been released by Random House.
