My question is, have you always been as outraged about all forms of racism as you are by the racism you assign to CRT?

Arguments against CRT do remind me of when I was a child in Atlanta, GA in the 1950's watching buses full of 'Black' children rolling past 'our' school to be taken to 'their' school. No 'White' folks expressed any problem with that. Some years later, when busing was to be used to achieve integration rather than segregation, all of a sudden many 'White' people were insisting that busing children past their closest school was in itself a moral wrong.

I haven't studied CRT, but this much I know: for centuries, overt, abject racism, first with slavery then with segregation enforced by terror (including but not by any means limited to the KKK), was a defining part of this nation's cultural fabric. Is CRT the best, most effective way of resolving that racism and its effects? I can't say. I do say that is the only form of criticism of it that I accept as being intellectually and morally honest.

My original Response, keep in mind, was taking issue with St. Thomas's words about Critical Theory and postmodernism, not CRT itself.
