Critical Race Theory: A Spiritual Pox On America
By: Christopher G. Adamo

Critical race theory is anti American. It is an expression of contempt and hatred of everything that America is and ever was. It is the complete dwelling upon and awfullizing of every mistake we ever made fixating upon it picking at the scab to ensure it and we can never heal while denying that any good ever happened here. To CRT proponents the world would be a great place of only 1776 America and belief in God didn’t exist.

Critical Race Theory: A Spiritual Pox On America

Americans of every racial background who love and cherish this country must first recognize that the anti-white onslaught of the past year is actually not in any way about ethnicity. Rather, it is an attack on Western Civilization as the forbearer of America, and more specifically, the Judeo-Christian principles on which our Nation was founded. Many Americans of every ethnic background, who love this country and have thrived in it, are appalled at such flagrant bigotry and will have nothing to do with it. Conversely, a major portion of the venomous anti-white mob agitators are themselves white leftists.
This is how the left operates, and how it always has. The goal is to undermine and eventually destroy the moral/spiritual tenets of a great America, on the premise that those ideals were not always flawlessly undertaken and therefore must be discarded in their entirety, to be replaced with the “utopian” bliss of Godless socialism. It makes no difference that, by any standard, the nightmarish consequences of Marxist ideology (the real monster behind the veneer of socialism) have been the cause of vastly more suffering and death in every nation where they have taken root, than those things Americans failed to get right in the beginning. Nevertheless, the country needs “fixed,” and leftists are convinced they are the ones to do it.
For such an abhorrent transformation to take place in a nation, it must first abandon its ideological roots. And the recent leftist war to destroy every worthy vestige of America, on the basis that such things reflect “whiteness,” is just the latest incarnation of that effort. Over time, race mongering has proven itself to be a workable tool to divide, exploit, and manipulate. So it should be no surprise that leftists are reverting to it once again.
Of course many wrongs and injustices of the early days of the nation did need to be corrected. Though the founders could not reconcile their differences on the issue of slavery on a timely enough basis to deal with it while throwing off the yoke of British oppression, they were diligent to put the mechanisms in place to confront it, once American independence had been established. And the tide moved inexorably in that direction, from the moment America achieved control over its destiny. This was by no means an accident.
The Judeo-Christian principles undergirding America were fundamentally incompatible with slavery or any form of racial inequality, which is why those relics of our flawed, human past were eventually expunged from any legal standing. Once by war, and thereafter by a continued awakening of conscience leading to new laws, the equality of station, as free American citizens, was eventually achieved. Those who recognized the enhanced opportunities this presented to everyone rejoiced and seized upon the moment. Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows, the Marxist leftists bided their time and sought every occasion to stir up strife and sow discord.
As a nation, Americans had overwhelmingly abandoned institutionalized racism, and for several decades prior to the end of the last century, they had increasingly enjoyed the universal societal benefits of authentic equality. Sadly, with the ascension of Barack Obama in 2008, an event that many naively presumed to be a final milestone signaling a truly “color blind” America, racial discord suddenly and dramatically resurged. It has been steadily escalating ever since. This was entirely by design.
Still, during the Trump Presidency, blacks were enjoying the lowest unemployment rates in history, and the future looked bright for all who recognized the opportunity to “pursue happiness” and achieve success as a result of diligence and effort. Prospects for a leftist remake of the nation were bleak. Enter “Critical Race Theory,” an ideological concept of projected bigotry, painting America with a broad brush of accusation and presumption. America, we are told by CRT devotees, is inherently racist simply because America is overwhelmingly white.
Leftists cannot ply their sick/twisted ideology in a happy and prosperous society, given that the actual impact of their agenda is entirely negative. Hence, they must create the conditions of squalor, despair, and frustration from which people will look desperately to others for a “cure.” The nation has seen little else from leftist Democrats for a very long time.
Fake News minions tirelessly seek any pretext to pound the “systemic racism” mantra. Predictably, the leftist sewer of public “education” became a hotbed of indoctrination of the next generation. Children are daily being pummeled with every venomous lie from the left, to convince them that racism is an inescapable aspect of humanity, with some inevitably being victims, while others are inevitably guilty, not as a as a result of attitudes or actions, but all on account their skin color.
On this basis, the anti-social behavior of minority criminals is “justified,” since they are presumed victims of “systemic racism.” The only actual consequence of such twisted thinking is an increasingly aggravated state of racial discord, and an imputed “guilt” of any person or institution daring to criticize it. What those who accept this ideology do not seem to grasp is that such an outlook can only hamstring them and undermine any prospect they might have to improve their lot in life. It was therefore predictable that minority communities would be hardest hit by the escalating lawlessness of such jaded thinking. Certainly, those leftist activists stirring the cauldron are fully aware that this is an inescapable consequence. And that is precisely their goal.
It is most tragic that a venomous teaching of this nature has wormed its way into the Church. Worst of all, it is no longer confined only among those wayward denominations that decades ago discarded their Bibles to embrace the lies and perversions of the leftist counterculture. It has now gained a toehold even in some Churches that had previously enjoyed standing for good, Biblical teaching on Faith and Family in America. The pernicious “guilt by decree” of CRT was apparently too tempting for them to rightly discern and shun, despite its universally injurious effect on all who embrace it.
The leftist mantra and deliberately broad brush of “systemic racism” is an accusation looking relentlessly for any excuse to claim validity. And where none exists, it will create one. That is how “The Accuser” has always operated against humanity throughout history. We are told by Jesus, in the Gospel of Matthew, that “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.” An ideology that teaches one Christian to view another, not as a fellow human being created in the image of God, but as someone possessing inherent malice and enmity, based solely on physical character traits, is an ideology that promotes the very essence of bigotry and hate. As such it has no place in genuine God-fearing Christian circles, or anywhere among decent civilized people, for that matter.
Perhaps it took too many among us far too long to learn that lesson. Yet we cannot deny that we are better off for having learned it. Are we then going to let past lapses be sufficient reason “unlearn” it so quickly, and revert to the former state of reflexive suspicion and resentment? That is precisely where such a malignant path inevitably leads.
Spoken like true-blue some propagandists! So you don't call us the N_ word outloud, but got a new catchphrase 'container' for us: "Leftist"? Socio-economic hatred of Others is classicism and we ain't having that demonization either! Racism and Classicism, its first cousin, are a disease and I invoke God as the cure for both!
Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson , two of the faces on Mt Rushmore , at one point in their lives thought of freeing their slaves , but did not for financial reasons. They continued to rationalize slavery by saying it "wasn't time" yet.
Every time I read some history piece or another about America's past from that era I learn something new. For example a few days ago I read a piece about the end of the slave trade. Conservatives like to brag about the end of the slave trade. Well, when the date was set for the end of the slave trade, shrewd slave owners arranged to have their next shipments of slaves kept in filthy "holding pens" on a Charleston dock and kept from sale until after the banning of slaves from Africa created a shortage of new slaves for sale and jacked up the value of the ones held off the market. In the meantime thousands of them died in the holding pens from disease or starvation. The slaveowners knew that many of these people were dying but concluded that the loss of those would be more than offset by the increased worth of the ones that survived.
Those are the type of facts the "1776 Commission" would never want us to know.
I so detest delusional lies and I never would guess it would be some conservatives (who used to stand for the 'glorious' past) who would hide their shame in self-deception in order to further cheat their fellow citizens out of what is right.
But the only way to know that until recently (1992) was hire a black docent tour guide for a school trip to Charleston or a private tour.
It's just that much worse that the practice of slavery was protected by British & American law for so long until a civil war settles the legal issues but not the social ones.
Sad
Africans, African Americans, Native Americans, Irish, Asians, Eastern Europeans,
all subjected to mass murders, lynchings and government sanctioned oppression and discrimination.
It sullies who we were, not who we are now.
What sullies our reputation now is the hysteria surrounding teaching the truth about our past.
Which is strange considering our glorification of the Wild West, the Civil War and WWII.
The sickest part of this is they are doing the same idiotic bull patty all over again. Traumatizing Blacks, Browns, Women, LGBTQ, and Others. How so?
By telling us collective and to our faces that our respective histories in this country matter so insignificantly that we can't be trusted to understand it without the help of dominant White males!
How about that?!
It's sick.

It is what it is.
Oh, so now "oppressor" and "victim" is a problem. But, it was not before? And do tell me why is it okay to "oppress" and make "victims" out of liberals and "The Left"?
It's not okay! It's racist and negative class discrimination combined into one. And some conservatives are guilty of its sin and moral turpitude.
but CRT isn’t being taught in our [ schools…Deleted ]
[removed]
Nope.
Nope what? Why would the teachers Union sue a parent over documents if CRT was not being taught there.
Because like you most people have no fucking idea what CRT actually is.
Really? Who exactly was being taunted? It was its own topic related thread lead and was directed at no specific person or member. Name any member this thread was a directed “taunt” toward. Is it now a taunt to mock the general idea that CRT isn’t being taught in our public schools. Did you personally feel offended even though it wasn’t directed at anyone? Or was it because the one on your side got one in response to my post?
This article is an indulgence in hyperbolic nonsense!
Why not actually point out some point or points in the article that you disagree with and why instead of an inaccurate broad sweeping generalization?
[DELETED]
Balderdash. Do Jews place an emphasis on teaching their kids about the Holocaust?
Absolutely corrupt sweeping generalization based in wrong emotions.
To quote an old Tonto joke, "Who is this "we" you speak of "masked man""?
Get over yourself already and stop taking this shit so seriously...and personally.
Assuming you meant "if", you still don't make any sense. No one is talking about the world or the existence (or not ) of God.
The America of 1776 was a great first step forward but the colonies were engaged in a war on land and sea with the British
as well as militias engaged in a minor civil war until 1783. Six years of turmoil followed until we elected Washington.
And everyday life never lived up to the the words "all men are created equal", we are still chasing that lofty goal.
DO you know what CRT is?
Yes, do you?

Good reading.
Do you?
If you know what it is, why would you equate it to Jews teaching their kids about the Holocaust?
CRT is not about teaching kids about slavery.

An incredibly informative piece of writing here: Banning critical race theory will gut the teaching of Jewish history - Jewish Telegraphic Agency (jta.org) . I thoroughly enjoyed and learned (comprehended) from it about Critical Race Theory. I will bookmark the link.
Incidentally, again we 'catch' some conservatives trying to gaslight people into letting them tell lies about the past and present of our country! We have to push back (as you have done here robustly.
Well done, SP. Well done!!!
This is a good read also.

Another good "keeper" article. Bookmarked! Shout-out to Pulitzercenter.org!
Yes, better than the banned and "Questionable" crap you keep trying to use.
You might notice a bit of attitude from "The Root", a black site for black people which tends to air black grievances.
Michael Harriot is to many people a genius. Even Pete Buttigieg likes him after being slandered by Michael.
MBFC is far more generous to the secular and the left in their biased ratings. They rate 11 conservative sites questionable or worse for every liberal one. Sites on the far left generally just get left bias while sites less far to the right are berated and attacked. MBFC is the definition of bias, hate, and bigotry against conservatives and conservative Christians.
If that's true then consider the fact that the majority of their judgements are true.
In fact there are more lib sites banned than con sites on MBFC.
Here is a chart from the League of Women Voters. 8 to 7, hardly 11 - 1.
Of course you will say LWV isn't a non partisan non profit, right?
And they happen to hold MBFC in pretty high regard...

I'm sorry but that's just your opinion - you seem to go out of your way to find the most offensive stuff on the web and then cry censorshit. That's not my problem.
And there it is in a short concise manifesto, from the victim's POV.
you are not a judge for others as to what is corrupt or the wrong emotions.
we in the context of the article are we the people of the USA through out our history.
Take your own advice! Especially the last part.
That's debatable, lol.
Just stop already. You are no spokesperson for "we the people".
Stop taking CRT so seriously or personal?
I'm not the one posting extreme rw opinion pieces twice a day/365 accompanied by introductions in your own words about
your '100% in agreement', usually hateful or threatening thoughts about over half of the occupants of this country.
Very Sad.
Since he is a self-declared "enemy of the state", more like a clear and present danger to the national well-being.
Likely a symptom of a much larger disease! Could it be a supplemental for wide-spread disseminations? Keep eyes on the prize!
no, it’s not!!
I never said that I was. I was referring to the context of the seeded article, not to me personally as you well knew before you responded.
I will not stop taking CRT or it’s evil clone 1619 project seriously. It’s nothing personal. It’s opposite to an ideology that’s deadly to the future culture and well being of the USA.
What’s very sad is the compete lack of tolerance for a diversity of ideas among the secular progressive left and a deep desire to content control and viewpoint discriminate against any political, economic, or religious viewpoint that makes them uncomfortable in their elite gated bi coastal urban seclusion from us unwashed everyday Americans with “old fashioned” ideas, values, traditions, and beliefs they use tech tools to avoid exposure to.
The prize is the open defiance of the left and the regime in power in DC along with their MSM and big tech social media Orwellian enforcement tools.
"FOX NEWS-ed out." And, in need of a vacation RESET!
You need some distance from this stuff! Why? Because you have become like a human "talking point."
Unwashed, but brainwashed. Interesting that.
I’m on a forced vacation for health issues. What I and the country need is a reset away from Biden and insane democrat policies.
It’s the secular progressive left that has been brainwashed by their rich elites inhabiting both coasts urban centers
Then why are you not 'resting'? You write in a monotone style ("me-me-we-we-me-me-we-we.") without any variance or distinction.
Then stay on vacation! Problem solved.
The nonsense just keeps piling up.
Rupert Murdoch is a "man of the people? Just because FOX NEWS is showing some conservatives the way to project political warfare, it does not mean that it is not a brainwashing center.
That is all the secular left has to offer…
Because everyone that doesn’t agree with the progressive left has been brainwashed…simply ridiculous.
You keep 'shoring up' nonsense and fighting "the good fight" for nonsense sake. Truth is kicking FOX NEWS ass up and down the block. Because error is defeatable by fact - and I, for my part, will do my damnest to bury some conservatives up to their foreheads in truth! Jefferson, keep 'shoveling' . . . . I will keep filling in the holes you make.
"Leftist" Christians now coming from you? Why am I not shocked and appalled?
Let you tell it (or make implication) there will be no "leftist" Christians in the Kingdom of Heaven. To which I only need to point out to your self-righteous . . . self. . . that Jesus surprised everybody throughout time and memorial when he absolved the thief on the cross and granted him entry by his authority into the 'pearly gates.'
Some conservatives go about making enemies out of good people, simply because it is in there hearts to be meddlesome. . .and loathsome.
And just in case you have not 'heard' it yet: Heaven is not God's 'petty' place. God is not some cheap 'thrill' for you to partner with.
this is a comment i saw on the website the seed link came from
These people are insane enough to believe that private charity can replace the government provided social safety net.
They want liberals who are not churchgoers (translation: Evangelical. Conservative. Straight-laced.) already to have the same structure in life as they do. See, it's easy! /s
When liberals walk like them, talk like them, and mimic 'shifty' behaviors, then maybe- just maybe they will find liberals acceptable.
It can and often does supplement it and where it’s engaged it provides more help more efficiently than government does. This is why we now have faith based initiatives.
Last week it was "Bi-coastal progressive secular elitists". The week before that it was "The War on Christmas". This week it's "Critical Race Theory". If the right-wing extremists didn't have a phony culture war to propagandize about, they wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
The bi coastal secular progressive elitists are engaged in all out war against everything good and positive about our history, culture, and traditions/ holidays.
There is nothing phony about the clear and present danger that elected progressives and their media news and social are to the very existence of the culture, traditions, holidays, especially the 4th of July and Christmas, our history, and values as one nation, under Gid, indivisible. Progressives are all about dividing us.
And that comment comes at the conclusion of a massively divisive, and fraudulent, right-wing extremist propaganda diatribe.
Self-awareness is not a predominant character trait among some of the extremist element, but you can usually count on unintentional irony.
Only in your universe.
Both libel and a sweeping generalization.
Sounds like right wing propaganda. Or just plain willful ignorance.

Why? It’s a bit late for that.
I stand by the factual correctness of all that I wrote.
Nothing factual about it!
Everything was and is factual about it!
Empty declarations like that mean absolutely nothing!
And some conservatives want to lecture Blacks and Browns and Others about "plantation mentality." Some conservatives 'milk' their constituents for profit like farm animals.
A bunch of sweeping generalizations with no basis in facts.
Tucker Carlson is milking some conservatives for "asses in seat" ratings! And his fellow anchors are doing their damnest to outrage him! But, here is the good news - ready? The human mind can only take so much outrage or pretentious outrage, before it shuts down and goes in search of calmer things. So this will happen (and it will be to some conservatives' advantage): Y'all will find that the "hot button" issues ain't so 'burning' anymore. It is a phase that y'all will pass through and 'forcibly' be expelled out the other side! It is only a matter of how long it takes to occur! It will occur.
