The World Economic Forum (WEF) has come under fire for a video which initially appears as a neutral explainer on Critical Race Theory (CRT), only to quickly shift into a full-throated endorsement of the ideology.
CRT charges an entire demographic with a collective crime, uses the charge as grounds for framing individuals within that demographic of perpetrators of that crime, and then seeks to strip condemned individuals of rights, dignity, and equal protection based on that charge (h/t).
The WEF video defines CRT as a theory "first developed by US legal scholars in the 1980s" which "argues that the laws, rules and, regulations that govern society today have been shaped by the historical subordination of people of colour and that this is a driving force behind racial inequality today," according to Breitbart.
As an example of the supposed racism embedded in every fiber of America's institutions, the WEF points to the high number of incarcerated black males throughout the country.
"Take the US criminal justice system, for example," it says. "While everyone is seen as equal under the law, Black Americans are imprisoned at 5 times the rate of white people."
"CRT says this disparity is a legacy of America’s racist past," but that opponents say it "paints all white people as bigots."
The video then positions CRT awareness as an honorable pursuit. Watch what opponent Chris Rufo described as an "Insane pro-CRT propaganda video."
This is what you need to know about critical race theory.

Others condemned the WEF as well (via Breitbart):
“Ah yes, the world economic forum promoting a radical departure from the current relations of power,” wrote video essayist and author Peter Coffin.
“This PROVES CRT is the revolution. I’ve been wrong this whole time!” he mocked.
“Run from the WEF working class people,” warned clinical psychologist and psychology professor Dr. Jordan Peterson.

“Why would the World Economic Forum come out in support of Critical Race Theory?” asked author and mathematician Dr. James Lindsay, who warned last month that CRT activists aim to dismantle the U.S. and establish “a total dictatorship” of the so-called “anti-racists.”
“Because they’re the ones who want to divide our society with this Marxist Theory or any other tool they can use to break the world and seize power,” he said.

Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) national security adviser tweeted "I can’t believe you’re advocating for ‘equality’ at the expense of equity" in 2022. "You’re either on board or you’re not. Be better."
