New Puritans

I am knee deep into the CRT section of the New Puritans and my conclusion is that we, as a nation, are toast. How can we reconcile, or at the minimum seek common ground, when the narrative that not only portrays “whiteness” as being inherently evil, but seeks as an alternative the tearing down of all things deemed white?  It is a punitive plan designed to supplant not to conjoin. And in the final analysis, isn’t this a form of identity politics that seeks to use blackness as the new yardstick for cultural and social dominance?  And what will that solve? Replacing one theory, that white supremacy is the foundation of our culture, and it is a theory mind you, with actual racism. Gone will be meritocracy because the very concept of merit is a white construct and that too is racist. It is circular reasoning at its finest. Anything that does not ascribe to the theory that institutional and social racism is the backbone of our culture, anything that is contrary to the narrative is racist. Why is it racist?  Because it is contrary to the narrative. Once again, control the language, even if you have to redefine it, and you control the conversation. It’s insidious and counterproductive to a functioning republic.
