Heh. It’s about ‘white supremacy’, not ‘white supremacy’.

Language is fun.

Except when assholes use confusion to try to score cheap points and racemonger, that is.

Actually, I’d say it’s still a false statement to say CRT is about white supremacy, even in the academic sense. It’s not ‘about’ it.

CRT has, as one of its assumptions, that white supremacy is one of the things that created the political and economic structure in the US, and that large amounts of that structure still remain, and pretending to be colorblind isn’t going to move us past that, it’ll actually enable it.
