By importing Trump’s culture war, the Conservatives are trying to close down any discussion of structural inequality, says author Daniel Trilling

Until this month, according to the parliamentary record, Hansard, the term “critical race theory” had never once been uttered in the House of Commons chamber. By the end of the day on 20 October, however, it was of such importance that the government declared itself “unequivocally against” the concept.

Why has the government allowed this racist, hateful, anti British drivel to be preached in public institutions for so long?

This article was written by a white male journalist in response to the words of a black female MP. If the opinions were the other way around, surely there’d be outcry....black voices only matter when they have the “right“ opinion?

Because a steaming pile of toxic crap that no one should go within a mile of

Because they represent a majority, not a minority

So the Tories target a theory from the U.S. to distract from lack of progress on racial inequality. Taking a leaf out if his master's playbook.

Do business with USA, everything that comes from that place is caustic.

The only thing about race the UK has targeted is that the Empire was good for civilizing the lesser natives. It’s in books, films, the education system....

The left really hate ethnic minorities & women who dare to disagree with it!!

Cashing in on Gammonist rage

It’s also not about ‘white shaming/hating’ as they say or whatever quote they want to use next to garner emotion/compassion. It’s about understanding and accepting the consequences of the ‘White man/White west’s actions through history...

MichaelYeadon3 has done an amazing podcast explaining what the situation is. I urge everyone to listen in-full & share (it’s long but worth it). Then make up your own mind, research the points in it if you need to.

Seems to be a lot of replies from a certain demographic. Also seems to be a lot of confusion from/acceptance of political interference/exploitation in CRT and that is the issue, not CRT itself...

Because it is subversive stupidity with no logical basis.

Also anti capitalism is forbidden isn’t it?

Because critical race theory has become an abomination which needs to be purged.

Because it’s the end of black history month and they want to ensure they ‘level the playing field again’, create the divide again etc. CRT is a theory (therefore up for debate/deliberation etc (also doesn’t mean stats n facts people can excuse it as simply nonsense)...

'critical race theory is a relatively marginal intellectual current' says a writer in the Guardian with a straight face

Why does it matter?

Note to Boris Johnson, look at what we're doing to Donald Trump. You're next.

Because it's divisive, based on resentment and hate and there's little evidence to back any of it up.

Fighting racism by making identifying racism illegal? Or maybe just make the word 'racism' illegal. Sounds like a De Pfeffel kinda thing to do. Fighting climate change, poverty, and British inbreeding can all be rectified in the same manner.

Tories?

Good thinking.

Because it is evil bullshit.

Because it's being promoted by racists seeking to bring in their Version of apartheid

Because Trump told them to do so. Special Master and poodle relationship!

Because everyone now knows it's name...

Because they know CRT goes down like a concrete elephant electorally and they knew Labour would step in to defend it. Also, it’s not a theory. Theories can be tested and used to make predictions. CRT is a divisive political wedge masquerading as a theory.

Because it is racist, and we must all, including the Guardian, stamp out racism from all ethnicities. Events have shown that the ugliness of racism is definitely not just a white issue.

CRT is just anti-white racism, when you remove all the mental gymnastics.

Critical race theory is an ideology not a empirical area of exploration. You do not bring people together by driving them apart. You don't correct racism and discrimination with more of the same.

No white is superior to a black and no black is superior to a white, except in piety & good actions Remember one day you will stand infront of God and answer for your actions. So do not stray from righteousness after I am gone -Muhammad God's messenger

Because it's garbage
