Racism - It's a real thing.

We did some work with CRT this year, we read a book and discussed the topics, this is not really all that new, just some of the terminology has been changed.  It really is more about awareness and a little self-loathing that is mixed, you are really supposed to look deep and criticize yourself but I don't think it is meant to be negative (for some it might be) but more reflective.  

If you are a normal everyday person, it is pretty interesting.

This country is a lot more racist than a lot people want to believe.

Less racist than others want to believe.

Racism isn't an excuse for every personal shortcoming of a person of color.

And some white people are opportunists, ginning up the stakes to sell race theories to other white people.

It's complicated, and we don't do complicated well.

But the fact remains that this country is a lot more racist than a lot of people want to believe.

I would agree with much of this if your talking about individuals.  Systemically I don’t agree

Well the systemic part is the part we can address. It most definitely exists, backed by reams of statistics. FWIW, it's not just an American thing. It's a human thing. 

Like I said, it's a lot worse than some people want to believe.
