Whites with GEDs get better mortgage rates than blacks with advanced degrees. You'll inherit wealth through property that black families have never had the ability to due to systemic racism in the property game.

What is a current example of systemic racism in the United States, other than affirmative action?

How about fucking medical care for one? 

https://www.cms.gov/About-CMS/Agency-Information/OMH/Downloads/2019-National-Level-Results-by-Race-Ethnicity-and-Gender.pdf

"Although this analysis revealed few gender differences in care, it did reveal patterns in which (1) Black and Hispanic beneficiaries received worse clinical care than White beneficiaries on a large portion of the clinical care measures examined and (2) API beneficiaries reported worse patient experiences than White beneficiaries on almost all measures of patient experience. The results presented in this report lead to a conclusion that quality improvement efforts should focus on enhancing clinical care for Black and Hispanic beneficiaries and investigating differences between API and White beneficiaries’ patient experience. "

CRT posits that any differential outcomes are the result of race, and that America is systemically a racist society. It provides next to zero credence to individualism, to each person's personal agency to effect their own life.

I'd say post-modern is accurate.  And,yes, taken to extremes, it virtually eliminates any responsibility for self-determination.

But it also contains nuggets of main truth, the largest being that black folk have gotten a shit deal in this country, and many others, but particularly so here due to slavery and Jim Crow.  Some of that is over with, and some isn't.

I'm myself not white, and in fact a racial minority. So I'd "benefit" from a full implementation of CRT. However, I have seen similar ideologies implemented elsewhere in the world, and it does not lead to a good place. I sure hope America (and UT, and A&M too, obviously) isn't winding down that path...

Join Dr. Lindsay as he reads through this document and breaks down exactly why the requirements it entails amount to creating de facto discrimination, quotas in employment and advancement, and wholesale corruption that is to be enabled by a raft of expensive new equity commissars who add nothing of value to the institution. If UT Austin is something close to your life, this might be especially alarming and informative to you, as it is setting itself on the same path that destroyed The Evergreen State College in 2017. If not, you'll still find much value in the discussion of this document because something approaching a facsimile is likely to be in place or in the works wherever you learn, work, or worship. James's goal in this episode of the podcast is to inform you about what these documents really entail wherever they arise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA0xKcENvmg

 

So you are presenting an intersectional analysis from a right wing propagandist to argue intersectional analysis is a commie plot. 

Bold strategy, Cotton. 

Lindsay's position is that people don't understand and are shallow. As is often the case, his accusation is an admission.

He fails to inform his audience that the quest for understanding is PURE WESTERN CANON. Intersectionality is a means of determining what may or may not be accurate. 

Remember your Plato and Aristotle (WESTERN CANON), Enkrateia (mastery of facts or an issue) is not a particular virtue, but "the foundation of all virtues." 

TLDR: You are getting grifted by grifters.  Good luck.

that would be the antithesis of CRT-- which posits that race is at the center of lived experience in America...  liberals like James Lindsay in fact bat against essentializing race the way CRT does.  CRT literally undoes the famous quote of Dr King about judging others by their character and not by their skin color-- CRT insists on judging everybody by their skin color.

See, this is a perfect example.  Instead of being curious as to why "cash bail" was proposed as an example of systemic racism, you reduce it to the barest possible argument.  You have no interest in learning, you are simply trying to bait others into what amounts to a giant waste of words.

Are you under the impression that anybody is being fooled?

This I can work with.

My response is that how do we get America to be better? Do we continue with the liberal democracy ideas of the constitution? Or do we chuck it all and replace it with what seems to be a divisive ideology at its core. I quoted from Delgado's book on CRT, in the into itself it notes that given enough power, CRT's goal is to uproot the Western liberalism, the objectivity of science, and to get rid of constitutional justice. That seems to read more like a Marxist utopian revolution, and we ought to know better from history than to allow the idea to grow.

What the fuck are you talking about? The central thesis of CRT is that the law treats races differently by the color of their skin, and seeks to examine the relationship between race and law

[TwiceHorn 31184]

Also "critical" as a modifier to any academic discipline basically means "so theoretical as to not be taken seriously, or very seriously."

Currently, the modus agendi of the right wing is to label anything that is race-conscious at all critical race theory.

That's not true. I want to understand what is so racist in how bail works in year 2021? SOmeone else posted a link to a wiki about systemic racism in America; I at least skimmed through it and found it interesting and will read more, although am familiar with most of the points made in it (most of them are historic in nature and not how things are at present).

Then, by the same token, the left wing wants to ascribe any differences in outcomes to a reductionist approach-- if they're pushing CRT, then they ascribe any and all difference in outcomes to racism.  And that's simply untrue. 

Besides, if CRT is so esoteric as to be left to some scholarship closet, then why is UT (and A&M) hosting DEI committees and literally laying out policies that aim to hire and promote people at least partly based on race and other listed special interests? It's not just about being "race conscious" but rather it's about divisions based on race.

It's to the point that sometimes one can't even differentiate between Wokes and Racists anymore:

"Affirmative Action" commenced before Critical Race Theory had even a name.

I am a little queasy about de jure discrimination to obtain "racial equality" as a concept.

I am not troubled by institutional and other efforts to recognize that black folks and other minorities have been operating at a significant disadvantage in this country for more than a century and to attempt to give them a hand up.

Absent awkward legal concepts like quotas, I don't generally believe that trying to help one segment of society is a zero-sum game that hurts another.

that may be CRT's thesis, sure. But that isn't really true. If it were true, then Nigerian American immigrants would be facing far higher rates of wrongful convictions than they do; anecdotally I would think they face far less issues with law than the average American.  Then again, Nigerian Americans likely have intact family structures and many other reasons why they don't run afoul of law and order.  America would do better to see how that works instead of getting on the CRT bandwagon.

It is not that we don’t or can’t come up with anything, we all just recognize the tucker carlson within you and have numerous examples of watching you run away from a thread when faced with evidence.

TFW racist policies designed to destabilize black families and communities in America have stressed and fractured family structures. Shit, when black folks got too rich the police fucking bombed and burned their neighborhoods off the fucking map. 

America would do better to see how it's history of racism in legislation and law enforcement has directly led to today's issues instead of telling them to get some bootstraps.

Okay, so wouldn't it be better to provide underrepresented minorities with more educational support early on? Universal pre-K and other similar efforts seem to be interesting, I want to see how they get implemented and whether they make a difference. 

It would be far better to give that hand up. But CRT seems to be more interested in a hand out.  Rise up underachievers instead of removing the hurdle altogether and making everyone worse off. That's what's happening in magnet schools in Boston, D.C., San Fran and likely many other cities right now-- getting rid of entrance tests because too many Asians and whites get into it and not enough "underrepresented minorities".

CRT is an evolution of postmodernism and of cultural Marxism-- the modifier "cultural" to Marxism being needed since Marxism deals primarily with issues of money (haves vs have nots) whereas CRT (and certain thinkers in postmodernism) puts the Marxist trope onto race. 

There is adequately detailed information available on CRT by cogent thinkers online; it's not hard to understand that it is at its core a divisive ideology.

Well, UT is racist.  It has a horrible racist history until very recently and still has a very small black student population.

I gather that things have changed, but UT in my day, 80s and 90s, had a stout reputation for grinding up people with poor high school backgrounds.  You could get in by being top 1/4, which is somewhat analogous to the top 6 or whatever percentage it is today.  It would have been an horrible environment for a first gen college student from a marginal-to-shitty, inner-city high school.

I think there are programs, allied to DEI, to help a lot of top 6% enrollees cope with the rigors of the place.  I'm fine with that.

I don’t know why I’m bothering, but: pretrial detention can result in job loss, child custody loss, eviction, excess leverage for plea bargaining, etc - not to mention that the detained are not necessarily guilty. Cash bail is a poverty penalty and disproportionately affects minorities. It affects poor white people too, and that is a concern, but it is the unintentional construct that has a disparate and perpetuating impact on minorities that we refer to as systemic racism.
