For by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned.
- Matthew 12:37
“So even when you’re on your path to trying to figure out how to be a better human being – because I believe that white people are born into not being human…That y’all are born into a life to not be human, and that’s what y’all are taught to do, to be demons.” Thus spoke Ashleigh Shackelford, now Hunter Shackelford, a self-described, “Black fat queer cultural producer, multidisciplinary artis, nonbinary shapeshifter, afrotechnologist and data futurist based in Atlanta, Georgia, with roots in Richmond Virginia.”
One could spend a great deal of time studying Critical Race Theory (CRT) and have a hard time coming up with a better example of what many CRT advocates believe than this.
Her statement was made in front of an audience of mostly white, middle aged women sitting for what appears to be some sort of CRT conference. You can watch the full video here. It’s less than a minute long but is one of the best illustrations of CRT in action that you’re likely to see.
While lecturing the audience of mostly white, middle aged women, the camera shows one of the flip chart pages Miss Shackelford is teaching from. At the top in all capital letters are the words “ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST.” Under that, she has included the details of her Paypal account. So confident is she in the rightness of her cause and her audience’s meek subservience, that Miss Shackelford has no problem asking donations from the very people she is simultaneously slandering.
This remarkable video illustrates two disturbing trends related to CRT. First, the open, unapologetic, blatant anti-white racism of CRT promoters. Second, it demonstrates calm acquiescence to such racist hectoring by those who are the targets of it.
Strange times these are we live in.
