My first ah hah moment was when they discussed the advances that have been made in the area of race relations since the 1960’s yet everyone can see that some racial communities remain as far (or further) away from the American Dream than ever. So obviously that must mean racism still exists in America. For tender hearted people the lure of a new and better solution like CRT is irresistible. We all can see the disparities and almost everyone wants that to get better.
Jumping on the DEI bandwagon offers so much. At the heart of this movement is forcing others, particularly the advantaged, to admit guilt , to make changes. For the obviously disadvantaged they are absolved of blame and responsibility. It’s not me you racist, it’s the system!
This movement has meshed perfectly with the generations that have enjoyed the most privileged, protected and material lifestyles in history. The deepest trauma endured by most millennials is their parent’s failure to purchase the correct brand of shoe when they were in high school. As a person told their entire life they can do no wrong and are perfect in every way the idea of forcing the powerful to tug their forelock to your virtue is heady stuff. The DEI movement does not require the virtuous to make any effort, to make any change or admit any fault. Its you that needs to change.
Many intellectuals, Thomas Sowell to name just one, have suggested that cultural failures are at the heart of so much of the disadvantage we see. Telling the drug addicted, fatherless teenage father with a grade 3 reading ability that he needs to work on his life a bit is not likely to get you a pat on the back or thanks. It is so much harder to do and seems a little harsh. Harvard sophomores don’t do harsh or hard.
