Poor Tom Hanks: gets hammered by Critical Race Theorist...

... amongst other things for portraying men who are just too damn heroic, too damn good, too damn capable. For that's White privilege, now morphing into White Supremacy. That's right, White Supremacy: what was once the domain of the KKK and of tattooed, muscle-bulging bikers who "hate fags and n***ers", that White Supremacy -- we are asked to believe -- now resides in the shopworn face and balmy platitudes of dear old Sully, Forrest Gump Tom Hanks. 

Hanks tried to say "I get it". But instead he got it. Contumely from on high, from Ibram X. Kendi acolyte Eric Deggan.

The redoubtable Charlie Cooke tells us "This is your brain on Critical Race Theory". 

A Snip from Charlie's conclusion:

In the grand scheme of things, Eric Deggans’s view of Tom Hanks is not going to have a profound effect on the future of the United States. But the degree to which the country adopts the ideology that motivated that view most certainly will. Like Ibram X. Kendi, Deggans has adopted a Manichean worldview in which each and every person is placed on either the wrong or the right side of a set of inchoate and ever-shifting lines. That Tom Hanks, of all people, has been found wanting should tell us all we need to know about the integrity, the efficacy, and the conceivable consequences of this most peculiar and destructive of ideas.

By the way, Cooke & Co well worth listening to on their weekly National Review podcast. They are at the sane end of conservative thought.
