The CRT folks sure seem to be pulling a fast one here as well, with their claims that various attributes most people have assumed to be either at least in part universally human or possibly cultural should be associated with various races. Example being the now infamous poster in the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of African American History describing 'whiteness' as individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, delayed gratification...<br /><br />Sure sounds like they are making 'race' a 'fundamental determinate of human traits'.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.com
