In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prageru.com\/video\/what-is-critical-race-theory\/\">new video for PragerU<\/a>, James Lindsay, the founder of New Discourses and a leading expert on Critical Race Theory ideology, breaks down the anti-American belief system in easy-to-understand terms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lindsay begins by noting that, in the teachings of Critical Race Theory, skin color is the most important part of you. If you belong to a racially \u201cminoritized\u201d group, then you\u2019re oppressed; if you belong to a racially \u201cprivileged group,\u201d you\u2019re an exploiter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCritical Race Theory begins from the assumption that racism occurs in all interactions,\u201d notes Lindsay.\u00a0<\/span><span>He then provides an example of how Critical Race Theory would work in a store or small shop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><i><span>Imagine you own a shop and two customers enter at the same time, one white and one black.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span>Who do you help first?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>If you help the black person first, Critical Race Theory would say you did so because you don\u2019t trust black people to be left alone in your store. That\u2019s racist.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>If you helped the white person first instead, Critical Race Theory would say you did so because you think blacks are second-class citizens. That\u2019s racist, too.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Because Critical Race Theory teaches that racism is present in every interaction, proponents of the ideology are forced to interpret every interaction \u201ccritically\u201d \u2014 in such a way that identifies the racism. And Critical Race Theory will always find the racism it seeks, says Lindsay, \u201ceven if it has to read your mind to do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Why can Critical Race Theory always find racism? Lindsay explains: \u201cIt has to be there because that\u2019s how the Imperial European powers and then America set things up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Critical Race Theory rejects the idea that the western world ever moved past racism, and that any examples of society progressively improving on that front are simply \u201ca mirage,\u201d says Lindsay. Examples of progress just mean that racism has hidden itself better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCritical Race Theory, therefore, is not a continuation of the Civil Rights Movement. It is in fact a repudiation of it. To Critical Race Theorists, Martin Luther King was both wrong and na\u00efve. White Americans can never judge blacks by the content of their character. They can only judge them, always unfavorably \u2014 consciously or unconsciously \u2014 by the color of their skin,\u201d says Lindsay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Is Critical Race Theory? | 5 Minute Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Zy6DQoRYQw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIronically, not since the Aryan obsession in Germany in the 1930\u2019s and 1940\u2019s or South African Apartheid in the second half of the 20th century has a social movement been so obsessed with race,\u201d adds Lindsay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As such, Lindsay argues that Critical Race Theory can be seen as a \u201ccounter-American revolution,\u201d something proponents of the ideology believes is a positive not a negative. \u201c<span>The American experiment was given a 400-year try-out and it doesn\u2019t work. <\/span><span>So, let\u2019s scrap it,\u201d Lindsay says of the proponents\u2019 beliefs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So how do Americans fight back against Critical Race Theory? \u201cThe answer is simple: Refuse to accept it,\u201d says Lindsay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cDon\u2019t be intimidated by \u2018the heads I win, tails you lose\u2019 logic of this self-destructive, America-hating, anti-reality idea. Don\u2019t be bullied into thinking that you\u2019re racist when you know you\u2019re not. Or that you\u2019re a victim when you know you\u2019re not,\u201d he concludes. <\/span><span>\u201cDefend yourself.
