Or is it just pointing out that conditions set up like a hundred years ago still effect minorities today, like how the Prison system was set up to replace slavery.

Also I didn't realize that Nazbols where just Nazis that veil themselves in communist imagery.

I may have terminal online brain, but I not familiar with every magical incantation that you dudes repeat all the time and I'm tired of being too afraid to ask.

    so CRT gets its name from Critical Theory more generally, which is just a method of structural analysis it doesn't actually have much of a 'theory' in the scientific sense, but the sociological sense of like calling Marxism 'theory'. when conservatives go off about CRT they are screaming about being reminded racism in any form ever has been and is a thing, because they want to pretend it's just not true to maintain white reactionary hegemony and that racist structure, that includes just stating historical facts and any kind of contemporary analysis

        They take it one step further (backwards?), in that they believe there aren't and cannot be any racist systems. In the liberal-conservative brain, racism is only a very narrow, definable series of actions (e.g. calling someone a slur). Nothing else can be construed as racism, no matter the intent, or even admission of those who set the systems up in the first place.
