> The issue with CRT is that every other theory and research of this subject (eg. IQ differences) has been shut down or obscured due to allegations of racism or fear of how the society would react to such knowledge

No, it hasn't.

Not even your specific example (racial IQ dofferences), on which there continues to be new work published (both on the differences and on influences, both genetic and environmental.)

So if “the issue” with CRT is just this thing that is neither true nor about CRT, then that’s pretty much the same as there being, in fact, no issue with CRT.

That's not the issue previously claimed but, like it, also false. CRT is not anti-White.

No, this is exactly what my claim was. That the same criticism of racism applies to CRT too.

From CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/01/us/critical-race-theory-e...

> Critical race theorists believe that racism is an everyday experience for most people of color, and that a large part of society has no interest in doing away with it because it benefits White elites.

I could say a very similar thing about the Jewish people and you'd call me an anti-semite for it.

Is this another case of redefining words and "anti-white" no longer means what I think it means or what? I'm confused.

edit: I'm rate limited, responding here.

> only in the sense that “White elites” are “elites, who are predominantly White” and not “Whites, who as a group are elites”.

No serious person claims that this or other ethnicity is an elite as a group, so I'm not sure what does it have to do with anything.

> Well, because factually socioeconomic elites (in America) aren't overwhelmingly Jewish

Biden's cabinet being 1/3 Jewish (pretty sure it was about half few months ago) is just one example. And they're like what, 2% of the US population? Is that just an antisemitic lie or is the US administration somehow not a part of systemic structure?

Once again, people are worried about CRT causing unintentional antisemitism, but no one cares if it's going to cause anti-white hatred, despite that the exact same argument was used against others who tried to explain why things are like this. It's completely transparent what it is and any sane person can see through this gaslighting. But it's alright, if you want to genocide each other then I guess it's none of my business, since I live on the other end of the world and it doesn't involve me personally. I'm not sure myself why I care so much, I clearly shouldn't. Now go ahead and crucify me.

To the extent that description by CNN is approximately correct and relevant, it is only in the sense that “White elites” are “elites, who are predominantly White” and not “Whites, who as a group are elites”.

> I could say a very similar thing about the Jewish people and you'd call me an anti-semite for it.

Well, because factually socioeconomic elites (in America) aren't overwhelmingly Jewish, and we don’t factually have systematic structures favoring disfavoring the non-Jewish throughout society established for the benefit of the elite and protected because they serve the interest of the elites, so, yes ,if you substituted “Jewish” for “White” in what was previously a factually accurate account of structural power dynamics in the US, I would probably accuse you of inventing lies whose most probable motigation was anti-Semitism.
