'Unmasking’ critical race theory
By: Richard D. Land
Critical Race Theory is a clear and present danger to America and to the Republic we all hold dear and pledge allegiance to. It goes against everything our Declaration of Independence and constitution stands for and is 100% the enemy of God and religious liberty. It divides us and sets us against each other. It is intended to cancel culture MLK Jr. and his methods as well as to forever terminate his dream.

'Unmasking’ critical race theory
Last week I shared a quote from a very important column “How Adherents See ‘Critical Race Theory’” by William A. Galston, a former Clinton administration veteran (1993-95) who is currently a fellow with the Brookings Institution (a liberal “think tank”) and a weekly columnist with the Wall Street Journal.
(Photo: The Christian Post/Katherine T. Phan) I know Galston and have participated on various panels with him in Washington, D.C. I like Bill. He is liberal but he’s honest and a “straight-shooter” as we would say in Texas. That common sense, patriotic streak may be attributable to his having served a four-year stint in the United States Marine Corps when he was a young man.
In that July 14th column, Galston concludes with the following observation: “But, one thing is clear: Because the Declaration of Independence – the founding document of the American liberal order – is a product of Enlightenment rationalism, a doctrine that rejects the Enlightenment, tacitly requires deconstructing the American order and rebuilding it on an entirely different foundation.”
It took the courage of a Marine to write that column in the face of a withering propaganda barrage in favor of critical race theory in the progressive media. After this week's column, “A Deeper Look at Critical Race Theory,” it would be wise for Bill to employ a food taster at Capitol Hill receptions and D.C. dinner parties. Why? It is quite simple – he has told the truth to the progressive elites, and they often react viscerally and violently to such effrontery.
Galston “unmasks” CRT as a mortal threat to the American constitutional and judicial system and he does so in no uncertain terms.
Having dived into the original sources, Galston reports several devastating facts about CRT. First, “Critical Race Theory denies the possibility of objectivity.” Second, CRT makes “race the center of our focus,” which is in direct opposition to Dr. King’s focus and vision. As such, CRT harshly critiques the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s as making only “symbolic” and “token” solutions for systemic racism.
Third, Galston notes that CRT “is an explicitly left-wing movement inspired by the thinking of an Italian neo-Marxist Antonio Gramsci.” Fourth, CRT’s founders “identified with Black Power movements much more than with those who were working for integration.”
Lastly, CRT “rejects the principle of equality of opportunity” and asserts that the real goal must be “equality of results,” measured by the “black share of income, wealth and social standing.” CRT rejects policies such as affirmative action as mere “diversions” meant “to make the mythology of equal opportunity plausible.”
Galston concludes his exposé and critique by quoting Ibram X. Kendi, the author of the best-seller, How to Be an Anti-Racist, where he asserts that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” This would condemn America to a perpetually racist future in perpetuity.
Bill Galston has committed the unpardonable progressive sin. He has told the plain, unvarnished, democracy-destroying truth about CRT. The counter-culture lynch mob will be out in force in full-throated rage.
We need more Americans and especially more progressives to display this kind of extraordinary courage and intellectual honesty.
I hope you will join me in applauding Bill Galston’s courage, and his intellectual honesty. Please also join me in praying for him in the days ahead, because the proto-fascists and black shirts masquerading as progressives will be out to destroy him.

I doubt that God even gives a shit about it.
They should teaching kids the basics.....ya know, like readin', writin', and 'rithmatic.
Instead of some fake Marxist propaganda that's meant to divide the races.
History, who needs it...
And whitewashing history does not accomplish that.
Anyone that says marxist goals....deserves nothing more from me...
there you go, all fixed now...
You already divide us by religion or politics.
Some fucking religions are hate based theories about afterlife and admittance.
Awesome, then STFU, PLEASE.
Still missing the point.
True Christians would never try to divide others who have different beliefs from their own. Only CINOs do.
True Christians would not bring their own religious beliefs into politics as the only true religion. Only CINOs do.
True Christians would not fear those whose religious beliefs are different from their own. Only CINOs do.
True Christians would not fear those who have no religious beliefs (Atheists). Only CINOs do.
True Christians would not engage in proselytizing here to try to give themselves credibility as Christians. Only CINOs do.
True Christians here on NT show themselves as such by their own words, and do not attack others just for simply having different religious beliefs, no religious beliefs, or for their different political affiliations. Only CINOs do.
And it is not hard at tell who they are.
those the loudest in proclaiming their piety and/or patriotism are likely farthest from it in reality.
That plays out to be the truth here on NT. And while they may relish the idea that they are being obscure while trying to look so innocent, they are in fact very obvious as to what they really mean.
And everyone knows what and who they are.
Oh yeah, Peter Wood. There's an objective essay. Comparing CRT to the Salem Witch trials.
How many people have been lynched over CRT to date?
Peter, the conservative Director of NAS, member of the Heartland Institute, rarely fails to convey what
non conservative people assume about those institutions.
The author of Bee in the Mouth, an scholarly attempt which devolves into an angry rant about how we lost the good old days.
Peter Wood, the author of "Diversity:The Invention of a Concept."
Also the author of "Black Majority: Negroes in South Carolina from 1670 through the Stono Revolution."
Peter wasted no time in authoring "1620: A Critical Response to the 1619 Project.
He should be on every conservatives' biased reading list.
Oh yeah, the predictable ad hominem attack rather than any substantive reply. Attacking an unrelated work with an Amazon review? Might be a new low.
How many people have been lynched over CRT to date?
How many witches were lynched during the Salem Witch Trials?
but again, you miss the point of the article. Try again.
