The Ugly Truth About Critical Race Theory - Christopher Rufo 

Sorry to be a cunt, but what is the point of softball interviews like this? You all agree CRT is bunk, great, so why never get into it and push back a bit? This is a respectable and reasonable man of the right, or center-right, why not push back just as you should push back on a left wing guest? There is education legislation in the US related to the anti-crt push this guy champions, that would not only ban the harmful stuff mentioned here, but would censor teachers deemed to be too left, require teaching that direct democracy or socialism is bad, etc,. IE, giving a party line to teachers to teach, and it is sneaking in through anti crt state laws. What about that dear guest, how do we protect libertarian or marxist or whatever other perspectives that can as reasonably be presented in certain classes at least in high school as republican or democrat ones? The guest claimed social science has proven the nuclear family is best, a hell of a claim given the history of extended families, and all sorts of communities that people have lived in for hundreds, thousands of years even, well- and that it isn't quite true. A stable family structure of any kind (including nuclear), with more than one adult on hand, preferably (but not always) more than one gender...that would be a stronger claim. And to be fair, no political flavor really criticizes the nuclear family in isolation from other policy proposals or issues he claimed the country should be and understood as founded primarily on ideals...a bit idealistic and not very scientific let's say. He says it should be criticized only so far as reaching those ideals has been put off. It is hard to see how this american exceptionalism is less ideological than what he wants to criticize. merit based education and meritocracy is actually a debated topic going way back in both the US and UK, for reasons totally unrelated to wokeness, this guy paints it as an untouchable topic he made the amazing claim that the center left is more against wokeness and crt, when that is exactly its bastion (corporations and govt and media are not far left), and implied that the harder left, the "party" machinery is for it. What party would that be? Is there a single proper major left wing party in the US? Socialism, and unionism is growing massively in the US and almost none of these groups, and small parties, are pro CRT, how could they be and build a united base? That working class comedian you had on recently would be left out of reasonable opinion in this guy's view? "entry level work is exploitation", in the US -which has virtually no labour law or labour protections by western standards, is a respectable debate to have. How is that anywhere in the same league with teaching kids to judge each other based on race? He also mentions once opposition to capitalism as a scary sounding thing, being painted over with pleasant sounding ideas like "equity" that sound less radical, in a motte and bailey. But opposition to capitalism is commonplace in the world and the US, according to polling, while CRT ideas of equity are unpopular. There was a lot more, but the main thing that is easy to notice and want to hear addressed, for anyone outside the anti-woke media scene is: " in fighting critical race madness, we, dear guest, may want to avoid building a new McCarthyism in the process, how does that factor into how you go about things?" . My 2 cents and yes I am a cunt.

@alejandro perkadel sounds like it would be interesting for you to be on Triggernometry yourself. You're right about an overly softball chat with someone they agree with is not the best kind of interview. One problem is the the genuinely woke people are not into discussion of their ideas so refuse to be interviewed. But some self reflection by Triggernometry about how to get the most out of the interviews and become more journalistic regardless of whom they are talking to may help develop the style of the channel. Anyway, people known for their ideas should welcome the opportunity to be pressed to explain them and why the downsides, as any policy has downsides, are justified by the upsides they identify

Another brilliant interview, thank you! Barri Weiss (your interview with Ms. Weiss also rocked) recently did a YT interview with Mr. Rufo and David French recently... I left a comment there (deleted by YT the next day) that Mr. French's claim--that he would not ban a white supremacy curriculum taught in American public schools any more than he would ban CRT--will likely never be tested for hypocrisy since no one's attempting to teach white supremacy in our schools now or threatening to do so in the foreseeable future. Both doctrines are horrific and damaging to young minds and lives, but only CRT has any traction at all in modern America... Hope it doesn't float like a diseased rat on a buoyant bit of garbage to your shore...

To be specific, horrific and damaging because both doctrines set races against each other.

I think you need to interview a professor who teaches crt. . In my opinion this man doesn't know what crt is. He just a fears about crt.

@Samuel Hoadley-Brill lmao what are you taking about?! You’re living in fantasy land, dude. Sorry but 99.99999999% of Republicans aren’t racist and even moderates are against CRT it’s gonna effect the next election. All you’re doing is repeating propaganda without bothering to learn anything you just assume you already know. Also, most Conservatives started out as Democrats and still consider themselves close if liberals. The party left us we didn’t leave it, and if you understood CRT you’d know it’s basically destroyed South Africa, it’s now a failed state. All they’re trying to do is take all the power and money from white peoples and make us second class citizens because if you actually knew we’re taking about your know this is EXACTLY how the Jews were treated by Germany in WW2. Teaching kids to be racist won’t help solve racism no matter how hard you try.

Nm all those questions - do you agree to children being told that 'whiteness' is a systematic privilege and an integral part of identity is helpful and why? EDIT - or does a parent or employee need to answer those questions 'correctly' before having any say in the matter?

@@derrickbell24 If seen worse regarding critique of evolution, but the door swings both ways. When CRT activists compare Whiteness to a cancer that can only be diagnosed and treated by a competent oncologist, after being treated unsuccessfully by several quacks, we may have stumbled upon a solution for the climate change crises.... ...

I too feel he is a classic liberal but people like Helen Pluckrose is not a fan and I can't figure out why. I would like to hear her perspective on Rufo. Is he too aggressive in his approach? So far I feel Rufo is merely doing his legal job to open up the CRT mantra to questioning.

He is clearly mad. A raving lunatic....sitting there....participating in a reasonable and informed discussion.....that he spent a great deal of time researching.... It's obvious he is completely insane and must dealt with accordingly.... 😂

James Lindsay should be on Trigger Nometry

@Aysha Khanom in Texas I'm very much opposed to Critical Race Theory and probably know more about it than the average person does. While I do think it would be good and helpful for everyone who is opposed to it to have a good understanding of what it is and where it comes from, I also don't think someone needs to be super knowledgeable on the subject and where it comes from to recognize why it is harmful and divisive and doing more harm than good. Just like someone doesn't need to be an expert on Nazism or know all about how Nazism came to be to recognize that Nazism is wrong and evil. I think what we are seeing a lot in K-12 schools is applied Critical Race Theory. And there are some horrible ideas that are being taught and promoted. Sometimes all you need to oppose something is to see some of the fruits of those beliefs in action in the real world.

James Lindsay knows crt so he can critique it but mis-represents a lot of it and has no nuance with regard to original CRT ideas and their current progressive activist formulation.

@Aysha Khanom in Texas potentially this is the fault of both sides lacking nuance. Once ideas go from academic truth seeking to having a political goal it just gets political…

I’m a Canadian Citizen, I’m gay and I’m conservative. I think many of the leftists news media sources are portraying Bernier as this bigot full of racist, homophobic, and/or xenophobic agendas… I’ve taken a glance at some of his propositions with regards to his LGBT rights matters, just to really see what’s going on, and a lot of the issues he’s pointing at has nothing really to do with the LGB, or people of sexual orientation, but mainly more to do with the TQ+ side. He’s more concerned about gender dysphoria, transgender ideologies, banning of porn and sex books (of LGBTQ matters) in public school, which I think needs to be mandated, and the prohibition of gender-affirming care for minors. Nothing explicit about gays, lesbians, or bisexuals, that he has a problem with; therefore, I think that Bernier is not as homophobic as a lot of people may perceive, he is just targeting on the liberal ideologies that have mixed up the acceptance level and rights of real LGBT individuals. Bernier is supportive of the lives of LGBT people, and that’s all I want too as a gay person; he is just showing concern about the intoxicating agendas, government policies, and ideologies that have screwed up the community and the integrity of LGBT people, all caused by stupid liberal ideologies, and that’s a fact. So, I don’t see what’s the big fuss around here. It’s not so hard to go on the Internet and properly and carefully reading what PMs are proposing and working towards for their party and for jurisdictions. Also, with that quote, and wherever you got that from I would like to see you cite the video so that I can verify if that’s what he actually said, I think Bernier implied that he’s not really concerned about the sexuality, race, or gender of the people of his party. And no one should.

bullshit…

This shit is insanity how is this allowed to slip through the cracks and it geared through small children I could see teenagers not believing this bs but small children are so brainwashable it’s why Christianity is still going strong.

I agree, you are exactly right!

It is child abuse, and a highly insidious form. It is planting the seeds of future political Power deliberately. I don’t believe that there is a master plan for 50 years into the future. No, it is yet to be determined but the plan is to disrupt everything and overturn countries. At that point they’ll deemphasize race altogether as it’s disruptive to the protection of the revolution.

I agree with most of the comment, but wonder what you mean about teaching children to hate their god..?

Oy Vey!

CRT is fake news, because is based on fake theories, like Theory of the Races, which is created in a fake science, whicah explains what kinds of Slaves British Crown had.

-- The Critical Race Theory movement, known as (CRT) or (Crits), teaches kids that race is not biologically real, it is a social construct. Therefore, there is no reason to hate members of another race. Christopher Rufo is one of the disgusting despicable leaders of the Anti-Critical Race Theory movement, known as (Anti-CRT) or (Anti-Crits), seeking to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. The Anti-Crits wants K-12 students to be taught that race is biologically real and that the Western European race is superior to the other races. The Anti-Crits wants K-12 students to be taught that slavery was good for the African race because slavery is ordained of God. Another Anti-Crit leader, the openly racist U. S. Senator John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana, went on Fox News in June of this year to proudly proclaim that, "the primary reason that America was founded was to maintain White supremacy. Not freedom, not rule of law, not equal opportunity, not personal responsibility, but White supremacy." He went on to say that he was proud that "Americans are racist and they don't much like Black people."

@@derrickbell24 your questions are irrelevant, bc it’s not about the deeper aspects of it. They don’t do that route in elementary school. It’s about how it manifests in scholastic settings. When you are dividing kids by race and claiming one is oppressing the other and that anything, process or action that results in an unequal outcome is a racist process. Active purposeful racial oppression is not around today but crt claims otherwise. It causes misguided policies like lowering standards for all instead of assisting to some strive for more. You get ideas like hard work, punctuality and individual achievements are considered white culture. Not realizing how racists that idea is. Not to mention it’s a Marxist concept but instead of class division and conflict; the focus is race. You sound like an msnbc anchor lying about how CRT is taught in the classrooms today.

@@treysharpe904 -- Judging from your last comment, you don't have a very good understanding of critical race theory. What Is Critical Race Theory? The critical race theory (CRT) movement is a collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power. How Did Critical Race Theory Originate? Critical race theory sprang up in the mid-1970s, as a number of lawyers, activists, and legal scholars across the United States realized that the heady advances of the civil rights era of the 1960s had stalled and, in many respects, were being rolled back. Realizing that new theories and strategies were needed to combat the subtler forms of racism that were gaining ground, early writers such as Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman and Richard Delgado put their minds to the task. They were soon joined by others, and the group held its first conference at a convent outside Madison, Wisconsin, in the summer of 1989. What Is The Goal Of Critical Race Theory? Critical Race Theory seeks to transform the relationship among race, racism, and power, for the better. What Are The Basic Tenets of Critical Race Theory? Racism is ordinary, not aberrational-“normal science,” the usual way society does business, the common, everyday experience of most people of color in this country. The American system of white-over-color ascendancy serves important purposes, both psychic and material. Racism is difficult to cure or address. Color-blind, or “formal,” conceptions of equality, expressed in rules that insist only on treatment that is the same across the board, can thus remedy only the most blatant forms of discrimination. Because racism advances the interests of both white elites (materially) and working-class people (psychically), large segments of society have little incentive to eradicate it. Race and races are products of social thought and relations. Not objective, inherent, or fixed, they correspond to no biological or genetic reality; rather, races are categories that society invents, manipulates, or retires when convenient. The dominant White American society racializes different minority groups at different times, in response to shifting needs such as the labor market. No person has a single, easily stated, unitary identity. Everyone has potentially conflicting, overlapping identities, loyalties, and allegiances. Because of their different histories and experiences with oppression, black, Indian, Asian, and Latino/a writers and thinkers may be able to communicate to their white counterparts matters that the whites are unlikely to know. Minority status brings with it a presumed competence to speak about race and racism. Black and brown writers are urged to recount their experiences with racism and the legal system and to apply their own unique perspectives to assess law’s master narratives. For a more detained explanation of these basic tenets, the the book linked to below under the heading "Basic Tenets of Critical Race Theory." uniteyouthdublin.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/richard_delgado_jean_stefancic_critical_race_thbookfi-org-1.pdf

@@treysharpe904 -- "When you are dividing kids by race and claiming one is oppressing the other and that anything, process or action that results in an unequal outcome is a racist process." That's not critical race theory. The right-wing racist Anti-CRT movement propaganda machine stamps CRT on any dumbass idea about race and racism. "Active purposeful racial oppression is not around today" It would be more accurate to say there is not much blatant racism today. "but CRT claims otherwise." That's right-wing racist propaganda. CRT realizes that today there are subtler forms, often unintended, forms of racism that are hard to detect and address. CRT seeks to develop theories and strategies to combat them. "It causes misguided policies like lowering standards for all instead of assisting to some strive for more." Nope. That's not critical race theory. CRT doesn't advocate lowering standards. "You get ideas like hard work, punctuality and individual achievements are considered white culture." That's not critical race theory. No CR Theorist claims hard work, punctuality and individual achievements are not admirable. "Not to mention it’s a Marxist concept" That's right-wing propaganda nonsense. Racists always say civil rights movements are Marxist. Marxists didn't originate the idea of studying the relationship among race, racism and power in the United States. College law professors such as Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman and Richard Delgado came up with the idea of CRT in the 1970s when they realized that the advances of the civil rights era of the 1960s had stalled and that new theories and strategies were needed to combat the subtler forms of racism that were gaining ground. "the focus is race." That's like criticizing the NFL for focusing on football. CRT is the study of the relationship among race, racism and power in the United States. Its focus is going to be on race, racism and power. Racists don't want you and I discussing difficult racial issues. That's what the Anti-CRT movement is all about. They want to change the subject. "CRT is taught in the classrooms today." Define Critical Race Theory for me, and then prove it's taught in K-12 classrooms today. PS: I am aware that Critical Race Theory - the study and transformation of the relationship among race, racism, and power - is taught in almost all law schools and a few college level philosophy courses. I practice criminal law and am occasionally called on to teach a summer school course on Critical Race Theory at a Texas law school.

My dad and brother tried to tell me it’s just about being honest about history in schools and that they’re only teaching it in college.

Critical race theory is a graduate level law Class.

A far better job of teaching history could be done, but that's pretty much always been true.

Yes, their chief tactic is to confuse and entice the ignorant and well meaning by couching them in labels and phrases that no decent person would oppose. E.g., black lives matter, diversity and inclusion, equity. To those that don't know the real intention behind these phrases are, they probably see it as acknowledging that black lives do matter as much as anyone else does, we need a good selection of racially and ethnically diverse people in the workplace based on competency and a fair and equal hiring process. That is not what it means black lives matter (BLM Global Network Foundation pushed agenda) is used in the collective 'black lives' not individual black lives or targeted black lives (unless it suits their agenda). They mean that black lives - as a collective - are permanently oppressed under the present system and the system need to be eradicated before black lives can be seen to matter. No individual black life actually matters, except when it highlights their agenda. George Floyd etc. Diverisity and inclusion means that multi-culturalism isn't just about having a mainstream culture siting alongside minority cultures; it means diluting the mainstream culture to incorporate incompatible cultures that create division and chaos to the point that white majority culture is eventually eroded, eaten away by the Marxist/Post Modernist maggot in an apple. The worst thing of all is that these movements are using our liberal culture and tolerance to further their aims. So they are using the very structures they claim to oppose to reach their goals. How hypocritical is that? These changes are done by stealth mainly. Quiet, unnoticed until the frog realises they're boiled in a pot that started off cold and increased in temperature by 1 degree per hour. That's why we need to stay alert and to read into the actions not the words, especially when it comes to school curriculums. Most won't use the term Critical Race Theory or Social Justice - too obvious now - they will call it something else like racial awareness, black history, multi-cultural studies or something else benign sounding. But if you kid comes home and mentions the words white priviledge, you know you have been had.

@passius1 Hmm, you seem to labour under the strange delusion that historical injustices were never acknowledged, much less taught, with the education system prior to the conception and propagation of CRT…

@passius1 I can see your point - and is part of the terrible legacy of crt failure to debate rather than ban and cancel.

@@derrickbell24 You would be absolutely correct if the criticism of CRT was within the universities where it is taught, and concerns the theory itself. However the criticism I see, and indeed the subject of this video, is over the application of CRT in schools, corporations, government agencies, and even churches, often under the guise of something else, e.g., Social Justice. There are just too many well-researched and anecdotal stories by people like Christopher Rufo, by parents of young school children, and others, for most of us not to be concerned. I don't think we need to understand the theoretical underpinnings of CRT to be justifiably critical of what we see when it is applied. Given this (and I'm sure you are aware of the situation), it is interesting that you don't mention CRT in schools. This week, I watched an interview between two academics, one of whom taught CRT to teachers. When they got to the objections against CRT, they did the same thing as you. They talked about the theory, but not its application outside of universities. I had the feeling that this was deliberate, but I could be wrong .

@@derrickbell24 Hello Professor Bell, it seems interesting that you feel the need to defend Critical Race Theory on this platform. I don't see why people are required to answer your questions in order to feel qualified to have an opinion on Critical Race Theory and how many perceive it as having a profoundly detrimental affect on society. The history and even the motivation behind the creation of such a theory although interesting, has no significant relevance as to how it currently manifests in society. I would suggest your questions are more relevant to people who have a predominantly academic interest in this area and not those who are concerned about the practical implications. The current incarnation of Critical Race Theory seems intent on increasing societal fissures rather than uncovering shared values that may bind us together. I am relatively certain I am not the only human being who questions the utility of such a profound societal shift underpinned by your theory.

Right! Because that's exactly what ideologues have been doing covertly for the past 10 years. They just went into institutions and indoctrinated them from within. Only way to push back against this is to get into institutions ourselves and push back!

@@derrickbell24 most people in the world aren’t academics. It would take years of studying this topic to fully grasp it. Critical theory is, by design, incredibly difficult to define and understand. It’s riddled with ambiguity. I know the theory came about after the civil rights movement. It’s very much a neomarxist idea. Equity is the center of the philosophy. (Which is probably why the nazis would hate it) Now you’ve got very smart business people profiting off this incredibly lucrative idea in the name of social justice. Selling it to schools, corporations, and government agencies. Seriously look at the bill of one of these lessons. It’s a philosophy built on hate. Instead of hating the bourgeoisie, you’re programmed to hate the dominant other race. Currently it’s white people. Because rich white men have dominated the west for the past few centuries. It teaches our children to fear each other in an incredibly diverse society, which will inevitably lead to segregation (which is already happening in some schools). It teaches young black kids that they can never succeed at life because the world they were born in was designed to keep them down. It teaches young white kids that they are superior to other kids with different skin tones. Why do you think a plethora of parents are outraged by this philosophy. And it would be one thing if it were taught as a philosophy, but it will be or is literally ingrained into every school subject taught. Similar to how North Korea teaches there children an education with every subject being the Juche way. It’s probably one of the most dangerous modern philosophies to come out the academic world yet. They’ve convinced a ridiculous amount of people that racism or “antiracism” is cool and righteous.

@@derrickbell24 , sure, confuse everyone with your superior knowledge. That's why knowledge exists: not to make things clear for you, but to establish your superiority over everyone. Go talk to the parents whose children were told, depending on skin color, that they will never amount to anything, or that their very existence is an act of oppression. Go talk to the children themselves. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Nice try.

@Derrick Bell Well, you did pick an apropos screen name for your comment. 👍🏽😄 Often I've wished I'd read about CRT before 2012, because it would've been intriguing to hear Derrick Bell speak in person, and especially to ask questions from the audience. I'm a woman of mixed race, and I instinctively understood "the margins" long before I ever encountered Kimberlé Crenshaw's seminal 1989 paper about mapping them. . . however, CRT has been changing/morphing/evolving over the past few decades since I first encountered the theory in 2012. . . and I wonder what Bell would think of the 2023 iteration, if he were here to see it. . ?

Antiwaycism is waycism.

@@jonahtwhale1779 No, its counter-racism, in the same way the counterculture is the opposite to the mainstream culture. In both instances the verb component is shared, its just reoriented to represent an oppositional stance to the orthodoxy. Its unpalatable to admit you practice racism, even if its intent is pro-social and pro equity, hence the choice of an inverting prefix despite "counter" being the more accurate description of intent and function. Its a semantic trick, and once dispensed with it lays bare the actuality in theory and practice. I'm not challenging the ideology, just the nomenclature. I just want to remind people that cleave to the rhetoric they are inarguably practicing a form of racism.

In the same way when someone tells me they believe in “the right to choose”, I finish the sentence for them and say, “You believe in the right to choose death for a family member.” After several repetitions they either accept their premise or reverse it.

It was spread as wide as the South and wider at times.

"wide-spread", of course it was, in some of the early states there were more slaves than non-slaves, and slavery is written into the original constitution. Read about the the 3/5ths rule. CRT is not about history or slavery, it's a re-framing of Marxist ideology as a strategy to destroy Capitalism.

Well, it kind of was. However, it leaves out the fact that it was mostly a rich person's game, and not just white at that.

@@universalsoldier2293 Yeah, the Cherokee owned slaves, so did Jews, and one native American was even a General in the Civil War, but CRT is not about history or slavery, those are only tactics in the framework of a larger strategy.
