Regarding Critical Race Theory and Intentional Racist Laws

IMO “say” and “believe” are incorrect characterizations which belittle the efforts and arguments being made.

No. This is false and worse, it is dangerous to a true democratic republic. I do not seek to keep anyone from voting. I think that society is better served by a large turnout so the end result more closely matches the will of the people.

I think it says a lot that you just threw this out there as axiomatic.

I think your post Buck_Godot was a very good one, but let’s be clear that the reason people misunderstand CRT is because the political right have fed them misinformation about it. At any given time, there has to be a boogie man on the left that’s coming for you and your family, and CRT is the current one.

Note the similar, numerous, misconceptions about BLM, antifa and “defund the police”.
(Granted, “defund the police” was a poor choice of words in the first place. But as discussed elsewhere on the dope, it’s not all that popular a slogan now, but the right refer to it often as a nice way to handwave the actual debate, and caricature the people demanding reforms).
