​​@@karenmiller8620Depends the word culture has the root word "cult" in it. According to standard historical facts along with archeological evidence cults or religious systems actually acted as a positive force of progress in the technological and inventive way a civilization developed. Then in other instances it could cause a destruction of a kingdom like when the selfish Pharoah Akhenaten reigned over Egypt and threw out its old polytheistic religion so he and his own ideas could be venerated which also caused Egypt to go into economic crisis because the previous religious view brought the trade flowing in and essentially ran ancient Egypt more successfully than Akkenatens more brutal cult system. Philosophy for today is the same thing but just not always with a spiritual or supernatural outlook. Philosophies like Marxist theory literally expressing zero tolerance for any philosophy than its own. This attitude is very cruel and can actually drive oppression.

Outstanding summary. As a CPA that happens to be black, I've been exposed to and have had conversations with several individuals that support and advance "critical race theory". It seems reasonable to test your theory in a limited way to determine something more than a "theory" prior to general application. They want a "theory" accepted without any evidence of the potential result. That's unwise in most endeavors. Also, you've expressed the summary of what I've experienced in conversations with them. I think you're in the 90%++ accuracy range on this. Also, I believe there's evidence of a strong Marxist movement among blacks from the late 1800's and Marxism is not an uncommon goal of many blacks I've known. I believe you've "nailed it". Thanks for the video and saving me time researching it myself.👍

It seems what's really happening here is a concern about "revisionist history' and a fear of actually learning more facts about our past. Most lower-grade schools don't get into the details of history - there's no time for it at that level. Hell, I'm 77 and still learning details about how our Constitution was formed, how WWII started, and numerous other events in history that were only glossed over in elementary and high school.

There is a very high risk to raising race consciousness among the public at large and applying oppressed/oppressor labels based on race. So far, there is a predictable resentment growing among whites of the lower economic classes to being called “privileged”. That resentment is quickly turning to anger which will be easily manipulated into violence if there is not a course change.

Loved the video. I'm having a hard time understanding why academics being neutral, objective and balanced is anything but desirable.

Oh, they HAVE an idea of what the end goal looks like -- it's the typical successful-post-Marxist-revolution utopia that will be attained "after the successful revolution" -- but their current plan is always to bring about The Revolution. They don't SAY that for two reasons: 1) Because it would sound ridiculously airy-fairy utopian, (especially after the crashes of all the prospective marxist utopias in the 20th century) and ,2) because leaving the endpoint open disguises the fact that in reality the class-war (for Marx, persecution of the Bourgeoisie, for CRT-ists the persecution of "white oppressors") is a forever war. Even when only vaguely based on Marxism, the "definitional oppressor/oppressed" dichotomy used is always used as an excuse for claiming that anything "you, the good oppressed person" can identify as "the oppressor" serves as perpetual moral justification for action-against. The "short-form" of any "definitional oppressor/oppressed" political theory is always: "Look at this justification for our group wielding all the political power: It is the only moral way." They just prefer that to not be explicit, lest people figure it out and go "That sounds awfully like a really shaky excuse for a naked power grab!" A different way to think of any "definitional oppressor/oppressed" political theory is as a secular religion specifying the oppressed group as "The Chosen People" and Original Sin condemning "The Bad People." Religion isn't the 1st thing that comes to mind, obviously, but if you look at how they wield guilt and "sin" -- along with sort of vaguely dangling sort of nebulous hope for forgiveness -- it is easy to see a parallel.

It means your research project aims at finding knowledge that makes a certain social transformation possible. So for example, if I am a feminist scholar, I might do research into sexual assault and what can prevent it. My goal with this research is political: I aim to change society such that less sexual assault happens. This does not however mean that I am in any way compromising my academic integrity.

I feel like it becomes a bit difficult to take this theory seriously when it starts off by rejecting the notion of objectivity and not being biased. Like, those aren't somehow specifically white aspects of academia, that's just academia, period. The standards of objectivity are there because academia stops delivering when you throw those notions our the window. It's like saying "I want to revolutionize the world of boat building and I shall start by refuting the notion that boats ought to be vessels built to be able to cross large bodies of water. Instead, I want to promote a stationary vessel that is meant to be submerged deep under water." Congratulations, you just invented the diving bell, but that's simply not a boat. Subjective writing with deliberate, political goals does exist, of course. But that falls under either activism or philosophy. Another big issue is in redefining terms that are conmonly associated with something else. If you are calling a person who never harboured any ill intent or prejudice towards others over their ethnicity racist for going about their life, then you are gonna lose most people. If you call Morgan Freeman a white person for thriving within the system and advocating for colour blindness, people are gonna call you crazy. I'm not one of those nutters who think CRT is somehow a threat to the national integrity of the United States, but it does have an air of echo chamber self-gratification. Which isn't surprising, considering all academic standards where explicitly thrown overboard right at the start for being too white.

Not any more. The wiki page removed any negative criticism and feels like propaganda.

There is a certain "Alice in Wonderland " quality to CRT (especially in building the airplane while already flying it, as it were) This is NOT a criticism of you, Ryan Chapman. To the contrary, your approach helped clarify the paradoxical nature of some parts of the theory, such as , if you are not A you are B, but if you are using the language of A, it's because you are oppressed into submission to think like A. (or something like it).The "Alice" quality I refer to is in her conversation with Humpty Dumpty, which goes like this: -- don't know what you you mean by "glory," "Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled . contemptuously 'of course you don't--till tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!" ' --'But "glory' doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument," Alice objected. --'When I use word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean --neither more nor less.' etc.

I’m a left leaning person, and something about CRT would rub me the wrong way, but I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since many of the problems they identify are true and need to be solved, however in this video I’ve come to realize I’m whole heartedly in disagreement with their philosophy, and seems like a slippery slope to fascism.

The dictionary definition of racism is the discrimination of another group of people based solely on their recial identity. CRT is a tool that strives to fight racism by favouring certain groups and discriminating on the basis of their race. So to fight racial bias we as a society must become racially biased. Fun stuff.

This presenters sophmoric "book report" is not CRT.

Another very influential figure for critical race theorists was a man named Herbert Marcuse and in particular his 1965 essay entitled ‘Repressive Tolerance’.

This was a truly outstanding video. I hate that I had to scroll through several other videos after searching for "Critical Race Theory Explained" before I found this. It should be the first result.

So many things to say. I think it would benefit your audience to make another video describing the links between neo-Marxism and CRT. As a mixed race individual (half-white) I have been put in the unfortunate position of being both oppressor and oppressed. I believe the underlying assumption is that I drop my white identity in favor of my other in order to define myself through this system. And there are more and more people like me - mixed race and dealing with the implications that entails. I would suggest that we of mixed race experience yet even more/different problems than those of single race backgrounds, and CRT has not attempted to address this in a significant way. I will be showing my hand a bit here by saying - how you can discuss this with a straight face is impressive. I think you did your due diligence by explaining that CRT has provided no substantial answer to the problem, just that the problem exists. But I think you down-played the focus that is made on black vs. white dynamics and that the latino, asian and other communities are just kind of along for the ride. A good amount of focus is made on slavery; other immigrant issues are not as strongly addressed. And lastly - how dare you use a piece of music by black artists to bookend your video! racist . Ah, I love identity politics!

Nope, you both missed the thing. There is no "don't approach academia in a neutral or balanced view" - the point is that we don't and can't. That's not a thing in reach for any individual. CRT is saying "don't treat academia that way because it isn't." The academia we have is largely white-biased academia. The difference is that, in being aware of this, you can actually run closer to true neutrality. That is the aim, not the other way around. As for CRT being vague, well... it's a philosophical framework. The un-vague specifics will come from those using CRT to observe, critique and correct our institutions. Most theory comes off this way, vague to those who aren't using it and haven't yet seen specific prescriptions birthed from the theory. I'm totally lost on how you get to "a new form of racism trying to weasel...", you're saying "acknowledging that racism exists is its own form of racism"? CRT is literally "racism does exist, let's pay attention to it and try to counterbalance its effects." How is that racist? Is there some specific line that you're seeing as racist?

No one would argue that we shouldn't point out racism where it exists. At least, no one that isn't actually racist. The issue people have with CRT goes way beyond what you describe here. Vague terms. No actually successful application. No long term outlook. Changing the definition of racism to fit a political agenda. The idea that people are trying to teach our children to always view others through a racial lens. The proposal of re-segregation. The list goes on. You are being intellectually dishonest by boiling CRT down to 'we're just trying to help'. I believe that some people do just want to help. But there are a whole lot of people who just want to see the world burn. A lot of what I mentioned, any normal person would view as 'racist'. Especially because we'd be using the traditional definition of 'racism'. Not the version of racism that was created to push an ideological slant.

I’m a close follower of New Discourses (James Lindsay) and find great value in his work. But if it was my goal to introduce these concepts and their origins to the uninitiated, I’ve found Lindsay’s material deep enough to drown in. And that’s no good.

Genuinely, you're the first and only one I've seen who understood and knew of the connection between the North American CRT and the Frankfurt School, although you didn't name it that. Essentially Critical Theory is the method of the Frankfurt School, as the Scientific Method is the method of Science. To put it in a very brief way: The Frankfurt School (I'm referrencing Horkenheimer specifically, though this applies to the Frankfurt School in general) is against logical empiricism and sees itself as a direct competitor to science. Areo Magazine has an amazing article called "How Critical Theory came to be skeptical of Science". There is a lot of revisionism going on with regards to the Frankfurt School, which you managed to weed out.

@raptor yes, he did, as a response to his contemporary hegelian friend Bauer, who suggested that in oder for the Jews to have a political emancipation in the prussian Republic, they should, under a secular regime, forget about their religion. Marx went beyond that and didn't believe that a secular state would be enough to detach the Jews, or any other religious minority from their mindset. He wanted the state to go further, as an adamant atheist that he was. That doesn't mean that he was an antisemitic. In that essay, marx criticised the Christians just as much as the Jews. His essay had nothing to do with hate. Only idiots read that essay that way.

First of all, I did like the video. It was rather fair and informative without being terribly misleading. I do not wish for anyone to think that I am being critical of this video. I am not. However, to truly understand CRT, one MUST begin with the true origin of CRT being a legal argument hypothetical. Please allow that to sink in for a moment. It was strictly designed for hypothetical legal discussions in a law school. It was devised for the training of lawyers. And when utilized in mock trials, it has failed miserably since the late 1960. It was Calmore, Crenshaw, and Kendi that stole the concept and spun it into a social narrative, complete with definitions of new term that they invented themselves to support the transfer from law school hypothetical to highly radicalized societal narrative. CRT as a societal theory is a lie from the beginning. Their interpretation is based on a platform of pure racism directly strictly at caucasians. And as has been proven repeatedly in mock trials for over 50 years, CRT does NOT stand up in court. It is just a new form of prejudice and an excuse to perpetuate racial hatred. I bid you peace.

CRT may soon stand up in court, as many Critical Race Theorists are and already have infiltrated the judicial system. Only the future can tell.

The oppression is so all encompassing the only way to remove it is to completely deconstruct present society and they are actively working towards that end. The present system will be replaced by... we're not sure yet but we'll know it when we see it. Further, all of the oppressed people working for change will be in total agreement on the nature of the currently undefined replacement society.

Without benefit to the foundation of a system a system will fall apart under it's own complexity. As we are collections of individuals the systems we create should benifit indiviuality this in turn can create individuals who can create systems that are of greater benefit and becomes a positive feedback loop.

Now I know that these people are seriously damaged if they truly think abandoning reason on purpose makes anything better. Also it seems entirely unlogic that looking through a „race-conscious“ lens (meaning ALL you see all day is race issues) is doing anything constructive but is rather fueling divisiveness. It’s a worn out statement but it’s true: all you put your energy on, will only INCREASE eventually. If you ever thought of buying a certain type of car, you will start to see that car everywhere, just because of your focus. Focusing on inequality all the time will let you see even inequality where actually there is NONE. Also heard from that elevator „incident“ described in the book. Where every normal person would think „nah this person had a bad day“ they think immediately the behaviour of that other person comes from a place of racism. This is nuts. Now I know that CRT is basically a scam to trick people into victimhood.

That being said, my only response to what CRT seems to me to be, must be paraphrased from the great philosopher Adam Sandler, "What they just said was one of the most insanely idiodic things I have ever heard. At no point in their rambling, incoherant theory were they even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on youtube is now dumber for having listened to it.

Don't share it. It's wrong. It's a non-expert attempting to communicate a set of theories he doesn't understand. CRT is an area of theory that deals with the question of why de facto (in real life) racism persists even after the law and the civil rights movement took deliberate steps to end it. That's it. It's seminars and roundtables at annual professional meetings (like the American Political Science Association annual meeting). It's papers in professional journals. It's coffee talks and brown bag lunches. It's not a high-school class on slavery or an exercise in essay-writing in a Civil War history class. It's not telling third-graders about the genocide of Natives, or giving kindergarteners a coloring page about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks during Black History month. The fact that people (especially Republicans) won't even try to comprehend what CRT is and prefer to use its name to make people afraid of things it actually is not just betrays how ignorant this whole societal "debate" really is. If someone tells you something is "CRT" and you should fear it, you can bet it isn't and they have another agenda.

So, since problem is already supposedly handled, therefore there is no problem needs fixing. Unless, like R MED said, the mostly white politicians and intellectuals, think problem can not handled with current measures. The civil rights legal reforms, the present method, i agree with. The problem i have with civil right movement, not the legal reforms it caused, is its lead that racism is only an intellectual delusion and under no condition, race should matter. I disagree with that. It should matter when it should, and its not, only, an intellectual delusion. It is instinctual and, in the past it was added on by ideologies proven false, or, the racism was instilled in others when it was unnecessary or wrong. Legal reforms, race must not matter, i agree with. In job, law, governance and marriage. I also agree it must not matter in partner or friend selection. Forcefully, when necessary, i mean, by social pressure, not law, violence, loosing work, or denied any legal opportunity and expression. But at the present only. The civil rights method, is not a pro-minority method. It is a pro-native method. I agree with crit race theory on that. However, it is peaceful, with maximum fairness, and at present i feel it is more appropriate. It is pro-native, so unwanted minorities numbers supposed to decrease eventually, but not forcefully in any way, to a comfortable, and a balanced level for all. My opinions.

This is a great, clear and honest video. Thank you so much! I want to share some of my thoughts on CRT. Thing that annoys me the most in this theory is this denialism of almost any empathy towards people from another racial background. There are some things that may be useful in this CRT perpsective (to be honest, very few in my opinion), but the idea that strikes me the most is this concept of "black experience", "black voices", "white experience", "whiteness" etc. Now, I know that I can't fully understand other people's emotions or experience, but I can use empathy to get as close to it as I can. I'm not a woman, but I can uderstand some things that are specific to women and I can feel sympathy, solidarity, even if I am a man. The same with race, orientation etc. We have empathy and reason - very strong and great tools to interact with others. CRT is removing the possibility of understanding one another on this basic, human level. As a white person I can never understant black experience, I can only listen and agree, never question. This idea is really damaging in my opinion it's like we're almost different species that cannot understand each other. And I believe that most people share the same common needs. We want to be loved, feel safe, have a meaning in our lives etc. Even if we are totally different, have different experience, history, knowledge, whatever, there's still so many that we have in common. When you remove this, by suggesting that we can't possibly understand one another, can't feel empathy, it's a recipe for disaster. And at the end of this road you have ideas like: science and logic are white tools of opression and stories, rituals, magic or something are other ways of knowing that belongs to people of colour. It's absolutely racist and stereotyping, but somehow it's called anti-racist now. And yes, these are the fruits of the CRT, even though we hear everytime that it's not a real CRT, no one is saying this etc... I mean, most people are not that stupid. These are natural conclusions of CRT. And we should be able to say it out loud.

I think it's helpful to view CRT like rational people view religion. Harmful if taken to it's extremes, but helpful in giving some form of insight into aspects of the human condition. It's like how Abrahamic religions view the problem of evil as sin, CRT views the problem of inequality in society as racism. Sin is not only viewed as specific actions but as part of the fabric of human nature. Racism is viewed not only as specific actions but also as an element of our society. It's the age old "Problem, here's a solution" setup. Balance is the key, getting too deep into CRT will inevitably produce blindspots in your thinking but when looked at as just one option of analysis in a wide intellectual toolkit, it can be helpful.

I have not read nor perused any of the books mentioned, but it seems to me that a very important matter was omitted from the video: systemic racism in our economy. It is undeniable among honest people that America has a history of profound racism, from slavery through segregation and encompassing many of the laws that have buttressed the contemporary economy. And an intended result of it all is that Whites benefited and Blacks suffered economically. It is also undeniable among honest people that economic status in America is to a very broad degree something inherited, where the status and sometimes the wealth of one generation is conferred largely intact to their descendants. In combination, these two things have very efficiently made Blacks generally worse off economically than Whites to the present day. The efforts to address this -- almost singularly affirmative action policies -- have realistically, in my opinion, been little more than a band-aid over a pulsing arterial puncture. This renders notions that "color blindness" is the appropriate policy to follow today little more than a cruel joke. And -- I don't know if this is addressed in any of the books referenced in the video -- a direct and obvious way to address this is reparations for the damages of racism.

This video is what real teaching should look like, but that’s just my opinion. I believe Teaching lays out the information, and lets you decide for yourself what you learned…with no inflections as to what the teacher thinks you should believe,. Lay out the facts, lay out the evidence, let you take in the information, make your own conclusions, decide how you want to interpret it, go out in the world and try out the way you understood it in your own way, and decide if it’s working for you or not. If it isn’t, you still have all of the information the teacher laid out, maybe your personal interpretation needs adjusting, so try again because you have the information (thanks to a great teacher) you just personally interpreted it in a way that didn’t work in your reality.

yeah but according to this, CRT doesn't want to be objective, because that's white supremacy. they want to be subjective, and just tell you what they feel. and where you should stand on things. so yeah, I agree with you.

This crap is fine to teach in theory. But when acted out it has terrible outcomes. Also should never be taught in public schools to children, who have no grasp of theoretic claimst

You're the single most important channel for politics going forward.
