The Growing Threat of Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become the dominant ideology in the USA and Western Europe. CRT is an underlying basis for much of NATO policy, including the recent escalation of violence along the Ukrainian border, Syria, and now the Gaza Strip. Therefore, it is an issue that affects not only us in the USA, but everyone affected by American and NATO interventions.

An Introduction to Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory is a belief that any economic or social system based on merit is inherently oppressive and needs to be torn down. It is not enough to simply reform these systems. They must be completely abolished. No one can be promoted or otherwise gain better living conditions through his own hard work. All people must be assigned “privilege,” which is determined by their race. Like in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, all Americans are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Critical Race Theory in the News

Let’s review some of the major developments in American politics from last week:

President Joe Biden invited rioters to destroy public monuments and war memorials.

Joe Biden’s predecessor Donald Trump ordered all state and local governments to defend public property from being destroyed or they would lose federal funding. Biden reversed this order, allowing criminals to commit theft and vandalism with no consequences. So far, rioters have damaged or destroyed sites dedicated to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and many other notable American historical figures. More egregiously, they have destroyed memorials to veterans of the war against Nazi Germany. Mobs have even defaced statues dedicated to African American regiments who fought in the Civil War of 1861-1865.

Why would any rational person think it is a good thing to allow violent mobs to tear down our most sacred monuments to past heroes? It all has to do with an ideology coined Critical Race Theory (CRT). Understand, CRT is so sacred, liberal newspapers condemn journalists who speak of the violence.

A Space Force commander was relieved for opposing Critical Race Theory

Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier of the 11th Space Warning Squadron was relieved of his post for denouncing Critical Race Theory in a podcast last week. Trump banned the teaching of CRT in the military, another order that Biden has reversed.

How could it be good to teach soldiers of different races to hate each other? Again, Critical Race Theory.

The Domestic and Worldwide Agendas of Critical Race Theory

Liberals claim that CRT is the opposite of fascist racism. They insist that Americans of “white” European ancestry have unfair advantages and CRT frees “people of color” from oppression. However, CRT uses the same rhetoric as fascist systems and has the same goal: to turn people against one another and spread racial hatred.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned racial discrimination in the USA. He described the purpose of racism as “I’ll tell you the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

I have previously described globalism as 21^st Century fascism. The goal is to divide people against each other. “A house divided against itself cannot stand” as Abraham Lincoln said. In Western societies Critical Race Theory and its related ideologies like Intersectional Feminism throw classes of people into warfare against each other. Whites against blacks. Men against women. Christians against Muslims, and so on.

How do Americans feel when Biden plays racial favorites when doling out COVID relief money? What else could they feel but resentment? American cities collapse under the weight of escalating racial violence while police stand on the sidelines. What else could Americans feel but anger?

Critical Race Theory’s Ugly Roots

To properly understand what CRT is requires at least cursory knowledge of several related ideologies of the past.

Nazi Racial Theory

The Nazis sorted people into a racial hierarchy. Aryans were the master race at the top of the pyramid, with everyone else arranged into varying degrees of inferiority. Certain groups like the Japanese, Persians, and Arabs were “honorary” Aryans and granted most of the same privileges. Yes, CRT embraces Nazism. Liberal racism is the fascist elephant in the room.

American Phrenology and Blood Quantum Laws

During the 18th and 19th Centuries, scientists gradually improved their understanding of the human brain. One of their biggest breakthroughs was the realization that brain was in fact a multitude of distinct organs all contributing to a person’s cognitive functions and even his personality. Unfortunately, racists interpreted this data to mean that different cranial shapes determine intelligence. European slave owners decided that their own cranial proportions were ideal, and other cranial shapes, like Africans’ were inferior. This idea has since been proven to be false, but nonetheless came to be known as phrenology.

At roughly the same time slave owners embraced phrenology, the American government escalated Indian Removal, the forced relocation of native tribes. The Army deported thousands of people, most famously the Cherokees on the Trail of Tears. This project was logistically complicated and government authorities needed a reliable way to determine who counted as a native and who didn’t. Their method for legally determining ethnic heritage was codified into Blood Quantum Laws. This notorious system determined a person’s status as a resident based on what percentage of his blood line was native.

Unsurprisingly, slave states took the idea of Blood Quantum and used it for themselves. A single drop of African blood sealed a person’s fate as property rather than a free citizen.

The Ideology of Affirmative Action

CRT uses Blood Quantum to determine if a person is to be categorized as European, African, Asian, Arab, or some other label. Liberals insist that white-skinned European people are so vastly superior to everyone else, it is impossible for any school or workplace to be fair. For this reason, schools across America are closing their advanced education programs. According to CRT, people of color are incapable of learning English, or mathematics, so these school subjects should be reduced or discontinued.

Blood Quantum appears in a multitude of initiatives, including hiring quotas. Liberal legislators and activists pressure private businesses, faculties, and government organizations to hire people from preferred races. This practice is generally referred to as Affirmative Action.

Affirmative Action and Blood Quantum has grown in popularity across NATO countries. Consider a recent scandal in the United Kingdom; British police forces and even the military have been caught selecting recruits based on their race, not their qualifications as policemen and soldiers. Naturally, a certain percentage must also be LGBT.

Critical Race Theory in Education

A growing number of citizens and politicians have noticed the threat of CRT and are taking action. Three American state legislatures have banned the teaching of CRT in their schools, and a dozen other states across the union are writing and voting on similar laws. Despite the public outcry, Joe Biden’s administration insists that teaching CRT is the “responsible” thing to do. Other powerful government and private organizations are doubling down on the practice too. Even the American Medical Association has condemned meritocracies and embraced CRT.

Over the past decade, many American universities have begun to segregate students by race. Liberals claim that it is “unsafe” for white and black students to live and work together. Liberals have also declared Asians to be “white adjacent.” Supposedly, Asian children perform too well in school and get too many high-paying jobs. Therefore, CRT activists consider Asians white, and not people of color.

Racism in Scientific Fields

CRT advocates have decided that the inferior races don’t deserve the title of scientists. “Native” science is now classified as Indigenous Knowledge. This idea probably sounds strange to most people. Wouldn’t a Greek scientist in Athens be the same as a Zulu scientist in the African bush? Not according to CRT. Apparently, only the Athenian is a scientist. The Zulu is an inferior race, and his achievements are indigenous knowledge, not real science. Modern CRT perpetuates the same fascist and phrenology myths that various races of people are on “lower” branches of the homo tree.

This article here is a typical description of Indigenous Knowledge. The author praises birds for learning how to carry burning branches. He then praises “indigenous” people for their knowledge of birds. This is a backhanded compliment. He directly compares birds to indigenous people.

See, us European-descended people can’t understand birds because we’re too advanced. Indigenous people are primitive, basically animals themselves, so understanding birds is easy for them. As racist as this belief is, that’s exactly what CRT teaches. Imagine bringing a girlfriend home for the first time and then congratulating her for understanding the family dog so well, implying that she’s a dog too. Would she appreciate the compliment? Probably not.

Vile racism is prevalent in other topics. To name one example, liberal activists in the USA and Europe believe that museum displays of police riot gear are racist. Scandals like this are Rorschach tests. A liberal looks at police equipment used to fight criminals and immediately thinks of black people. Isn’t it racist to think all black people are criminals? Yes, it is.

One of Joe Biden’s most famous gaffes is the time he said “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” Isn’t it racist to think all people of color are poor? Yes, it is.

Conclusion: Critical Race Theory Worldwide

As I spelled out in a previous article:

It should be obvious to the attentive observer that the colonial model of slavery is the inspiration for 21st Century globalism. Theories of Fourth Generation Warfare and COIN relied on the assumption that empires need huge armies of hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy just one small country like Iraq. In hindsight, that’s not true. The current status quo in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and the other developing regions of the world suffering under the yoke of NATO imperialism are all proof that small cadres of special forces, airpower (manned and unmanned), and local militias are more than capable of carrying out globalist policy.

The globalists’ goal worldwide is the same as their respective domestic policies; to divide and conquer. Nations must be prevented from merging into larger transnational unions. Existing nations must be destabilized. Governments must be overthrown. Just like Critical Race Theory promotes racism in an American elementary school, it also promotes the creation of ethno-states. The creation of a Eurasian economic union is unacceptable. It is much preferable to fragment it into weak and easily manipulated ethno-states like post-2014 Ukraine.
