Critical Race Theory

The most misunderstood theory in history.

This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.

In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.

If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.

Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Critical Race Theory is a bunch of BS"
๐— ๐—ฒ: "No, it's not. Either you misunderstood the theory, or you haven't grasped the underlying philosophy behind it."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "I don't think I'd care enough to learn about it."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "If you don't wish to know more about it, that's fine, just admit you were wrong."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Okay SJW."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "Look bro, I'm just being pedantic. Call me a nerd, a know-it-all, but I ain't got nothing to do with SJWs. In fact I'll happily listen to critiques against CRT."

Stop doing it. You're actively preventing me from fixing it.
Hym "Stop criticizing A.I. as if you don't know I can just fix it immediately. You're an asshole and a dumb one. The A.I. isn't the problem. The people doing it are doing it wrong. They're reverse-engineering someone else's work."
