The ugly truth about Critical Race Theory (CRT)

Click screenshot to go to video
Christopher Rufo exploded onto the CRT scene a little while back and explains it well. I've seen his writings for a while, and now he's interviewed by the lads at Triggernometry -- Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster. These lads, btw, are two leftie stand-up comedians who fell afoul of woke strictures -- in Konstantin's case, he refused to sign a contract for a performance which said that he couldn't say anything "offensive" (!). So they've become kind of anti-woke warriors. Still of the left. Just not of the wokearati....

There are POC, some of the Left, some of the Right, who criticise CRT as well: people like Amala Ekpunobi, John McWhorter, Jason Riley, Coleman Hughes, Chloe Valdary. And the elder of them all, Thomas Sowell.

ADDED: if you go to the New York Times site and search CRT, there’s nothing but fulsome praise of CRT, interspersed with attacks on Christopher Rufo and Very Bad "alt-right" or "far right" who are characterised as the only ones critical of CRT. Thery're not the only ones. As Rufo shows in the vid above (also here)
