The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury
I’d say some brief analysis would have helped this bit of research.
It’s important to note that most proponents of these ideas — like critical race theory — are *not* “race essentialists”. Rather, they see racial identity grounded in *history* and experience, not “Blackness” per se. CRT, for example, specifically denies “essentialism”. (See Gary Peller on this.)
Also, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is *not* a proponent of critical race theory. He is a *sociologist* who writes about “white supremacy” wit…
Proponents of CRT maybe not be "race essentialists," but they are constructed essentialists, in that constructed group identities are determinative of status. This they have in common with Marxism, hence the term "cultural Marxism," (an accurate term, even if some people dislike it). One strand of provenance for CRT winds back to Marcuse and the Frankfurt school. Erica Sherover-Marcuse, his widow, led the first "privilege walks" in Marin County in the '70s. That Ukrainian kulaks weren't s…
Yes — why I often say the real problem with "CRT" is its underlying "blank slate psychology" and postmodern epistemological influence {"knowledge construction"}. As FAIR, I think we should focus more on resisting "race consciousness" in general and "critical race consciousness" in particular. That is the more effective counter to what they are "selling" in my mind ... not "race essentialism" so much. :-)
