re: #75 Charles Johnson

She should have elaborated on that. It wasn’t PR-wise leaving that hanging in the air.

The way I see it, Pollak was formally correct about CRT having to do with the “white supremacy”, but was dishonest in not explaining fully what he meant, because what is meant by “white supremacy” in CRT context is not some sort of KKK stuff but institutionalized forms of racism. So he just threw the term out there, knowing that it’s ambiguous and hoping for low-brow reaction.

So in this narrow sense Brown was correct - CRT is not about the “white supremacy” as Pollak tried to paint it through ambiguity, it’s not about KKK. But she shouldn’t have left it there, simply denying the term’s relation to the CRT, because, strictly speaking, it is related.

That’s the problem with these soundbite media “debates” - too much nuance is lost on the audience.
