A growing number of people are starting to view Critical Race Theory (CRT) as not merely racist but specifically and uniquely anti-white. On the surface, it looks like they are correct, but on closer inspection a larger agenda independent of race can be glimpsed. Race conflict is merely a tool, and the fundamental transformation of society is the goal.

That CRT has nothing to do with race becomes apparent the moment those with the “wrong” skin color break out of their assigned role. The most recent example is Larry Elder, who is currently running for governor of California in the recall election of Gavin Newsom. The Los Angeles Times ran a column calling Elder “The black face of white supremacy.” In recent days, a white female protestor dressed in a gorilla mask threw objects at Elder while he was campaigning, and the left-leaning media remained silent. Why? Because Elder is running as a Republican and pushing conservative and libertarian talking points. To paraphrase President Joe Biden: If Elder is not a Democrat, he “ain’t black.”
The New Left
In the United States, the leading figure of the Frankfurt School in the 1960s was Herbert Marcuse. His goal was to understand why American workers rejected communism. He concluded that they were too happy. The culture had to be destroyed to achieve the communist utopia. Americans had to be taught from an early age to hate their country. The right way to do this was through gender and racial warfare.
Thus, the Frankfurt School gave rise to Critical Theory, of which one branch is modern feminism, and another is CRT. Marcuse described the move away from the working class to a focus on minorities as a tool for overthrowing capitalism.
Same Old Story
The left used to attack Jews for their immorality and avarice. Now the attention has turned to whites. Whites shouldn’t take it personally. In the future, the villain will be another group. The purpose is always the same: scapegoating and appealing to envy and hatred to achieve power. It is easy for many whites to feel that they need to band together as a racial group to protect themselves against the onslaught, but that plays directly into the hands of the radical left.
The only way to undermine their racial narrative is uniting as many colors and creeds as possible against the war on capitalism, individualism, and the American way. That is why they attack people like Larry Elder the hardest. He and others like him are the greatest threat to their narrative of hate and division.
