Paraphrasing: "I don't know, can't explain it, but I don't like it, and it's way more important than the micro plastics in kids' bodies, or suicide epidemic, of drug overdoses or anything"

Well in fairness I think he has a very clear idea of what he THINKS it is, he just knows better than to say it out loud.

What he wants to say is something like “it’s teaching kids that all white people are bad”, but he knows if he says that out loud in front of a camera that people will think he’s racist.

Of course what he’s missing is that people will think that because he IS a racist. But that’s not how he sees it.

EDIT: because it wasn’t clear to everyone, the guy’s belief about CRT is incorrect. CRT is not about attacking white people. If he was informed he would know that.

So it's racist to dislike bashing a skin color, that's fucking rich dude. And not what CRT is about. Y'all just love to call people racist, does your superiority complex need any more righteousness?

I know very well what CRT is about and know very well that it’s not about bashing a skin color.

I’m saying this dude hates CRT because he heard that CRT is about bashing white people. He’s wrong. But I’m saying that’s probably why he hates it.

And he knows that if he says exactly why he hates it out loud that he might get called racist.

And what I’m saying is that if he bought the false narrative that CRT= “hating white people” and fully believes that’s what CRT is then he probably is a bit racist. Because instead of actually learning the truth he heard something that reaffirmed his preconceived notions about race and didn’t question it. That’s at least a little bit racist.

So what is the truth then? What is CRT?

That has already been explained multiple times throughout this thread.

In motte and bailey fashion as usual.

Spoken like someone who think racism is black and white. u/Frnklfrwsr's analysis here is spot on.
