The radicalism of the far-left has dangerously moved into the mainstream.
Fringe ideas are now being spouted by celebrities and the corporate press.
But one Hollywood director tried to defend Critical Race Theory and regretted it.
The radical concept of Critical Race Theory has proven to be deeply ingrained in American institutions.
CRT is a neo-Marxist philosophy that takes the Marxist class dialectic of oppressor versus oppressed and frames it within the context of race; CRT contends that whites are the oppressors and nonwhites are the oppressed.
CRT began as an obscure legal theory, but in the intervening decades, it has come to define a significant portion of leftist thinking, and routinely rears its ugly head in one institution after another.
Not even churches or the military are immune.
And Hollywood, one of the most progressive sectors of society, is rife with people who promote the ideas of CRT.
One of those Hollywood progressives is Pete Ramsey, who co-directed the hit film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
An online controversy brewed when Ramsey attacked Peter Boghossian as a white supremacist; Boghossian is a liberal professor who contends that “wokeism” is destroying important institutions:

Ramsey then went on to say that people calling out that CRT don’t know what they’re talking about.
People who are terrified of CRT don’t even know what it is. They’re being manipulated, and silly graphics like this are part of it. You should ask who’s so scared of you actually learning American history.

The Left has unsuccessfully tried to argue that CRT simply means teaching honest American history.
This is an intentional lie.
CRT is a radical philosophy that teaches people to view all interactions in society through the lens of race.
Ramsey then got presented with evidence of what an actual CRT training session looks like.
There have been no shortage of people who were coerced into attending mandatory ‘anti-racist’, ‘inclusivity’ training or else lose their jobs. Slides, reading material and videos have been shared online for some time now. Here’s Ashleigh Shackleford;https://t.co/M5CW2yWO2k pic.twitter.com/MVnpfJMaHE

It’s more Maoist struggle session and less honest American history.
In a final act of desperation, Ramsey tried to defend the poisonous CRT seminar
Ah, I see. She’s super provocative in this first few seconds but maybe it’s to create context make a larger point she explains in the rest of the video, which apparently you not I have ever seen. Someone thought it more useful to only post a partial clip, which is interesting.

This is the nonsense that’s taking over the country, and too many liberals are providing cover for the radical arsonists on the hard Left.
