Racism is part of every culture and always will be, to some extent, part of the human condition. The issue is how we react to it, no different than the sexes.
The first source for a definition of CRT that I found was Britannica, which says, “critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category.”
The logic fails right out of the gate. I hate to tell you this, but race, ethnicity, and sex are biologically grounded features of physically distinct subgroups of human beings. We have always been taught that humans are different but all the same on the inside. That is the way it has been taught and the way it should be taught.
According to two of the founders of the new CRT, Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, “Races are products of social thought and relations. Not objective, inherent, or fixed, they correspond to no biological or genetic reality … races are categories that society invents, manipulates, or retires when convenient.”
This also goes beyond logic. Discrimination goes far beyond just that. Short and tall people, fat and skinny people, and intelligent and less intelligent people all have discrimination issues. In many cases, unconscious bias does not kick in until someone speaks or stands up, or in the case of the handicapped, when they can’t stand up.
And there is another group discriminated against, the “Physically Disabled” versus the “Physically abled.” These differences are clear and obvious and cannot be ignored. As Humans with the condition of being aware of differences, we need to learn to be accustomed to the differences and just live with them without prejudice.
Today we have people trying to overcome true science to deny differences in sex. It is scientifically impossible to change a person’s sex. As for living life as One, I am not religious, but if Adam, the first human male, and Eve, the first human female, did not see the differences, the human race would have ended there.
