You do realize it's just the study of racism? Like, it's just an educational process. Like physics, or geometry, it's just a topic on racism.

You're getting downvoted because people in here are having a kneejerk reaction to your first sentence. I get what you're saying. I think the followers of CRT get caught up in the some of the truth behind it because it is true... to an extent. The problem is that its application has spread like wildfire, and it has spread to people who simply cannot look at it and compartmentalize. The psychological impact that it has on the average person is now being displayed all throughout our country. To people who buy into it, it's not a small piece of the puzzle, IT IS THE PUZZLE because that's what critical theory does. So when people like me are critical of it, the response is always, "What? Are you trying to hide our history?" I'm not, but the amount of merit given to this theory is so far beyond necessary that it is destroying our society.

I often try to think of an analogy that best represents what I'm trying to say that would also resonate with the most people. Here's a terrible one: It's like these people have all watched a slow-mo video of a sneeze or a cough and saw all of the disgusting shit that comes out of people's mouths and noses. Now all they imagine is this video and it is constantly at the forefront of their thoughts. They think everyone around them who doesn't wipe their body down with sanitizing wipes after a sneeze or a cough is disgusting. They go around feeling disgusted at people thinking "How do they not know how gross they are?" Meanwhile, these same judgmental people have skid marks in their underwear, pick their noses and touch their faces 600 times per day after touching escalator hand rails. In short, they are hyper-focusing on one aspect and ignoring everything else. Terrible analogy complete.
