Alarmed over the discovery of 215 multiracial bodies found buried in a pauper’s cemetery behind the Hinds County, Mississippi jail, Reverend Hosea Hines,
The aim of CRT is to make race the forefront of everyone’s identity. Which is odd, considering the first point of CRT is that race is a social construct, and not a biological truth (which I agree with after initially struggling to understand). In far left Liberal circles now, people are identifying other people through race and sexual orientation when texting or emailing. My buddy who is very liberal will tell me about interactions he has with people I don’t know and he always adds something like “so she (black, gay, her) told me bla bla bla” to the text. I was quite confused the first time he did it and I asked why he felt those were necessary identifiers, and he said because they are at the core of our identities and imperative to understanding her perspective. I do not agree with this new perspective, but I’m in the minority among the liberal circles. I would prefer to see us united as people, part of the human race, not divided into a thousand sub-tribes. The news often does it to sensationalize their stories, adding racial outrage to otherwise mundane reporting. I will probably be accused of bigotry, and downvoted for pointing out that I disagree with this approach to communication and perspective, but such is the state of things these days.

Yeah, you’re going to get violently shat on for that take, but it’s pretty spot on. Terrible isn’t it?
Very much so.
