If you have been horrified by the seemingly sudden emergence of Critical Race Theory (CRT), please read further. CRT is in our schools, and teachers are apparently willing to spread it even in the face of protest by parent groups, and in the face of bans by legislatures and governors. Oh, and how have these people been hired. They are clearly not qualified to teach our young. We are told that this is just a theory being discussed among academics. Calm down we are told. Well, not so fast.
It turns out that CRT is just a more organized version of the what the Nazi government of Germany did to the Jews during World War II. We may not have connected the dots, but we instinctively understood what was happening. But L. K. Samuels did connect the dots for us at the American Thinker in an article entitled The Surprising Origins Of Critical Race Theory. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been cited as an offshoot of Karl Marx’s theory of class struggle, which was designed to pit one class against another so as to foment worker-led revolutions. It is also widely accepted that the Marxian Frankfurt School in Germany reworked Marx’s “social conflict theory” in the 1950s by adding “race” to their long list of “oppressed” minorities. But historically, the Frankfurt School theorists were latecomers to the racial theory table. They were not the originators of Critical Race Theory. A revolutionary socialist movement had already existed decades before in Germany. These racial justice warriors sought to pit one race against another and encourage the oppressed to overthrow the oppressor. They called themselves German National Socialists.Note that "Nazi" is an acronym for National Socialist Workers Party.
To demean the so-called “Jewish oppressors,” the National Socialists taught German children that the Jews, Jewish-run banks, and capitalists were persecuting the German nation and its people. This “oppressor versus oppressed” narrative is pure classical Marxism, which had devastating effects across the annals of modern history. Such racist nonsense divides society, creating hostile tribalism and unending ethnic violence.Does any of this sound familiar. Keep reading Samuels article. The similarities between what the Nazis did in the 1930s and 1940s, and what is happening here now are stunning. As I said, once you see it, you can't unsee it.
