He was just a good man. Still makes my blood boil on how casually people on this site mock and belittle his passing.

"they always go to insults when they lose the argument". Well said, sounds like reddit.

Still hard to believe he’s no longer physically here. Good to know his spirit lives on in TPUSA and the young people he still is inspiring.

He said the civil rights movement was a mistake so it seems like he does support segregation. He also clearly has no idea what critical race theory is.

You may be surprised to learn that Critical Race Theory is an extremist ideology which advocates for racial segregation. Here is a quote where Critical Race Theory explicitly endorses segregation:
8 Cultural nationalism/separatism. An emerging strain within CRT holds that people of color can best promote their interest through separation from the American mainstream. Some believe that preserving diversity and separateness will benefit all, not just groups of color. We include here, as well, articles encouraging black nationalism, power, or insurrection. (Theme number 8).
Racial separatism is identified as one of ten major themes of Critical Race Theory in an early bibliography that was codifying CRT with a list of works in the field:
To be included in the Bibliography, a work needed to address one or more themes we deemed to fall within Critical Race thought. These themes, along with the numbering scheme we have employed, follow:
Delgado, Richard, and Jean Stefancic. "Critical race theory: An annotated bibliography." Virginia Law Review (1993): 461-516.
One of the cited works under theme 8 analogizes contemporary CRT and Malcolm X's endorsement of Black and White segregation:
But Malcolm X did identify the basic racial compromise that the incorporation of the "the civil rights struggle" into mainstream American culture would eventually embody: Along with the suppression of white racism that was the widely celebrated aim of civil rights reform, the dominant conception of racial justice was framed to require that black nationalists be equated with white supremacists, and that race consciousness on the part of either whites or blacks be marginalized as beyond the good sense of enlightened American culture. When a new generation of scholars embraced race consciousness as a fundamental prism through which to organize social analysis in the latter half of the 1980s, a negative reaction from mainstream academics was predictable. That is, Randall Kennedy's criticism of the work of critical race theorists for being based on racial "stereotypes" and "status-based" standards is coherent from the vantage point of the reigning interpretation of racial justice. And it was the exclusionary borders of this ideology that Malcolm X identified.

You do realize it is a theory? Not a book or a set of beliefs so you can't quote it or act like one author (who was probably trying to sabotage it) can determine exactly what it means. It is the theory that racism exists in the system to prevent minorities from rising up and doesn't just exist in people's heads. This is definitely very present in the lives of many minorities which have been turned down for promotions, refused higher jobs, etc. Statistics also represents that well in education, white collar blue collar ratio etc. And that is what DEI was trying to fix which may be one of the reasons Kirk didn't understand it.

Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic are authors of the most widely used textbook on Critical Race Theory. They literally wrote the book on it (Delgado and Stefancic 2001).
Delgado, Richard and Jean Stefancic Critical Race Theory: An Introduction. New York. New York University Press, 2001.
Delgado and Stefancic (2001)'s fourth edition was printed in 2023 and is currently the top result for the Google search 'Critical Race Theory textbook':
https://www.google.com/search?q=critical+race+theory+textbook
Here Richard Delgado describes his attendance at the founding meeting of Critical Race Theory during a ceremony honoring him on the 30th anniversary of that meeting:
I was a member of the founding conference. Two dozen of us gathered in Madison, Wisconsin to see what we had in common and whether we could plan a joint action in the future, whether we had a scholarly agenda we could share, and perhaps a name for the organization. I had taught at the University of Wisconsin, and Kim Crenshaw later joined the faculty as well. The school seemed a logical site for it because of the Institute for Legal Studies that David Trubek was running at that time and because of the Hastie Fellowship program. The school was a center of left academic legal thought. So we gathered at that convent for two and a half days, around a table in an austere room with stained glass windows and crucifixes here and there-an odd place for a bunch of Marxists-and worked out a set of principles. Then we went our separate ways. Most of us who were there have gone on to become prominent critical race theorists, including Kim Crenshaw, who spoke at the Iowa conference, as well as Mani Matsuda and Charles Lawrence, who both are here in spirit. Derrick Bell, who was doing critical race theory long before it had a name, was at the Madison workshop and has been something of an intellectual godfather for the movement. So we were off and running.

AGAIN just because someone writes a book about what they think it is and it sells does not make CRT pro segregation. If you are anti critical race theory then you have to make a good argument for your belief that it isnt interwoven into the system and both kirk and you are failing to do that.

"No! CRT isn't what the founding scholars say it is, it is what I FEEL it is!" This is what you are arguing. You sound mentally deficient.

TF none of these people are founding scholars. They wrote books on CRT. And it is a theory. If you can't make a claim against the theory (and not a few people using that theory to justify segregation) then stop wasting my time.

This is current and mentioned in the most prominent textbook on CRT:
The two friends illustrate twin poles in the way minorities of color can represent and position themselves. The nationalist, or separatist, position illustrated by Jamal holds that people of color should embrace their culture and origins. Jamal, who by choice lives in an upscale black neighborhood and sends his children to local schools, could easily fit into mainstream life. But he feels more comfortable working and living in black milieux and considers that he has a duty to contribute to the minority community. Accordingly, he does as much business as possible with other blacks. The last time he and his family moved, for example, he made several phone calls until he found a black-owned moving company. He donates money to several African American philanthropies and colleges. And, of course, his work in the music industry allows him the opportunity to boost the careers of black musicians, which he does.

One more from the recognized founder of CRT, who specialized in education policy:
"From the standpoint of education, we would have been better served had the court in Brown rejected the petitioners' arguments to overrule Plessy v. Ferguson," Bell said, referring to the 1896 Supreme Court ruling that enforced a "separate but equal" standard for blacks and whites.
