critical race theory is dumb
18871👍 786👎
Critical race theory is the idea that since the intersection of two races is patriarchal, patriarchy must be the unit-of-race.
Critical race theory is a reference to modernism-in-retrospect, and it argues that patriarchal units constitute race.
Critical race theory is the first example of intermodernism.
It leaves open the question of what the unit-of-patriarchy is.

The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
