There were a couple articles on Newsweek this morning that made a very interesting point. CRT and its associated concepts are much more appealing to white progressives than they are to anyone else. Blacks, for example, were just as likely to respond favorably to class oriented rhetoric. I suspected that but it was interesting to see some data on the topic.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

You are missing the point here. I am not defending CRT, I am suggesting that you don't have to agree with a topic or premise in order to make a cogent argument nor does your disagreement with that topic or premise mean that you can't evaluate whether someone else is making a cogent argument. In fact, in learning debating skills or critical writing skills, you can be assigned to defend a position with which you vehemently disagree as an exercise. You are rejecting this article based on your own prejudice alone and not based on whether it was argued well. If you were asked to defend CRT while employing critical thinking, could you do it?
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Newsweek does put out some interesting articles lately. I might give them my email address to read a few free. Two recent ones: Black People Are Far More Powerful Than Critical Race Theory Preaches, Woke Racism Is a Systemic Problem in America.
