[00:03.600 --> 00:07.720]  Certain people should not listen to this show, such as children and panty-waist adults who
[00:07.720 --> 00:12.960]  cry like 12-year-old little girls when they hear profanity.
[00:12.960 --> 00:17.680]  Welcome, my friends, to the Dr. Reality Podcast.
[00:17.680 --> 00:23.920]  I'm Dave Champion, critical race theory.
[00:23.920 --> 00:31.480]  You cannot go to the media or social media without hearing all about critical race theory.
[00:31.480 --> 00:35.160]  But what is it actually?
[00:35.160 --> 00:38.080]  Yeah, most people don't have a clue.
[00:38.080 --> 00:41.240]  I saw a great tweet the other day, and I'm going to paraphrase it.
[00:41.240 --> 00:44.160]  The gentleman said, if you took people who are enraged about the critical race theory,
[00:44.160 --> 00:47.720]  put them in a room, told them they could not leave and they could not eat until they factually
[00:47.720 --> 00:51.440]  explain the critical race theory, they would starve to death and die.
[00:51.440 --> 00:53.280]  I think that's pretty true.
[00:53.280 --> 00:56.120]  And I'm going to fix that for you right now.
[00:56.120 --> 01:02.000]  Most intellectual pursuits that eventually become codified as a theory, they don't start
[01:02.000 --> 01:04.920]  out as the theory that you might be exposed to.
[01:04.920 --> 01:09.840]  They start out as something else much earlier, and then they evolve into the thing that comes
[01:09.840 --> 01:13.440]  to your attention, and that is no less true with the critical race theory.
[01:13.440 --> 01:17.560]  This thing everyone's arguing about today, the critical race theory, had its origins.
[01:17.560 --> 01:22.440]  He's in Frankfurt, Germany at the Frankfurt School in the interwar years, and it was simply
[01:22.440 --> 01:24.240]  called critical theory.
[01:24.240 --> 01:28.960]  It was a way of seeing things, and it had nothing to do with race, and they relied upon
[01:28.960 --> 01:36.520]  what they considered to be proper assessment and critique, a reflection on what has come
[01:36.520 --> 01:38.960]  before using proper assessment and critique.
[01:38.960 --> 01:44.440]  It was just a way of analyzing what has come before so that they could project what was
[01:44.440 --> 01:45.920]  likely to occur in the future.
[01:45.920 --> 01:50.760]  It had nothing to do with race, but that's the origin of what everybody's arguing about
[01:50.760 --> 01:51.800]  today.
[01:51.800 --> 01:58.600]  The critical theory was adopted in the 1970s to apply to something which became known
[01:58.600 --> 02:01.600]  as critical legal theory.
[02:01.600 --> 02:05.120]  I want to read you a description of that.
[02:05.120 --> 02:11.200]  Critical legal study adherents claim that laws are used to maintain the status quo of
[02:11.200 --> 02:12.880]  society's power structures.
[02:12.880 --> 02:20.920]  It is also held that the law is a codified form of society's biases against marginalized
[02:21.040 --> 02:22.040]  groups.
[02:22.040 --> 02:28.520]  So marginalized groups, you might imagine then that the people who pioneered critical
[02:28.520 --> 02:33.160]  legal studies were just a bunch of various minorities, right?
[02:33.160 --> 02:35.200]  Well, you'd actually be wrong.
[02:35.200 --> 02:40.680]  Every single person who was involved in the early days of critical legal theory, critical
[02:40.680 --> 02:45.160]  legal studies, however you want to refer to that, yeah, it was exclusively white.
[02:45.160 --> 02:48.720]  It should already be apparent by what we've already discussed so far, but I want to just
[02:48.720 --> 02:50.720]  say this to get it up on the table.
[02:51.040 --> 02:56.960]  The word critical, as in critical race theory, I think because most people don't know anything
[02:56.960 --> 03:04.520]  we just talked about, they think critical means criticism, which is one of the several
[03:04.520 --> 03:06.040]  definitions of critical.
[03:06.040 --> 03:09.120]  It's just not the one applicable to the critical race theory.
[03:09.120 --> 03:14.920]  The definition that applies to critical race theory is involving skillful judgment as to
[03:14.920 --> 03:17.400]  truth, merit, et cetera.
[03:17.400 --> 03:22.920]  An example of usage is critical analysis.
[03:22.920 --> 03:27.840]  So we started with critical theory back in Germany in the interwar years.
[03:27.840 --> 03:35.440]  That then was picked up by a discipline called critical legal studies in the 70s.
[03:35.440 --> 03:45.100]  A branch of critical legal studies began what we now call the critical race theory, which
[03:45.100 --> 03:52.420]  just like critical legal studies, was isolated to solely the legal profession.
[03:52.420 --> 03:57.020]  So if you go back to the 1970s, critical race theory, which had not really been coined quite
[03:57.020 --> 04:00.340]  yet, if you go back to the people who were discussing what we now call the critical race
[04:00.340 --> 04:04.140]  theory back in the 1970s, it was lawyers.
[04:04.140 --> 04:06.500]  The public wasn't even involved.
[04:06.500 --> 04:11.780]  For most of its existence, the critical race theory remained something only talked about
[04:11.780 --> 04:17.580]  by attorneys at places like Harvard and Cornell Law for years and years, decades.
[04:17.580 --> 04:24.020]  The public didn't even know the phrase critical race theory until just the last couple of
[04:24.020 --> 04:25.300]  years.
[04:25.300 --> 04:28.940]  Now suddenly in the last several years, everybody's talking about critical race theory.
[04:28.940 --> 04:33.780]  And of course, this is the public who I hate to say things like this, but my experience
[04:33.780 --> 04:35.300]  tells me it's true.
[04:35.300 --> 04:39.160]  The masses here in the United States are none too bright.
[04:39.160 --> 04:45.600]  So they think critical race theory means whatever.
[04:45.600 --> 04:48.920]  I mean, all the stuff that we just talked about, they have no clue.
[04:48.920 --> 04:49.920]  Zero.
[04:49.920 --> 04:52.680]  It doesn't matter whether you're on the left or whether you're on the right.
[04:52.680 --> 04:55.520]  They don't care what the critical race theory really is.
[04:55.520 --> 04:58.440]  It is whatever's in their pea brain.
[04:58.440 --> 05:03.120]  The critical race theory here as we sit talking in 2021 essentially can be boiled down to
[05:03.120 --> 05:04.600]  two elements.
[05:04.600 --> 05:07.720]  If you believe these elements exist, what to do about them is a whole other discussion
[05:07.800 --> 05:12.120]  We're not going to get into today, but I just want to share with you the two elements that
[05:12.120 --> 05:14.400]  define the critical race theory.
[05:14.400 --> 05:22.080]  Number one, the critical race theory sees racism as systemic and institutional rather
[05:22.080 --> 05:25.840]  than just a collection of individual prejudices.
[05:25.840 --> 05:30.800]  I think that that's flawed personally, and I'm going to explain why.
[05:30.800 --> 05:31.880]  I'll read this again.
[05:31.880 --> 05:35.800]  Critical race theory sees racism as systemic and institutional.
[05:35.880 --> 05:39.240]  I'm going to leave out systemic because that means a whole lot of different things to different
[05:39.240 --> 05:42.880]  people, but let's just focus on the word institutional for a moment.
[05:42.880 --> 05:48.560]  That means it resides in large institutions.
[05:48.560 --> 05:53.800]  Absent as it says, individual prejudices rather than just a collection of individual prejudices
[05:53.800 --> 05:56.560]  is the exact quote.
[05:56.560 --> 06:00.640]  I don't think so, and let me give you an example of what I mean.
[06:00.640 --> 06:06.840]  Let's say we could wave a magic wand and create suddenly a nation with a million inhabitants.
[06:06.840 --> 06:12.760]  That nation had 90% of its population held racist views.
[06:12.760 --> 06:15.040]  Who's populating that nation's institutions?
[06:15.040 --> 06:20.000]  Yeah, 90% of people who are racist.
[06:20.000 --> 06:23.240]  Without trying to prove it, because I think common sense dictates this, if you've got
[06:23.240 --> 06:28.520]  90% of your population is racist and 90% of the population works in these institutions
[06:28.640 --> 06:34.400]  and those institutions are obviously inherently going to have racial bias and they're going
[06:34.400 --> 06:36.120]  to act in a racist manner.
[06:36.120 --> 06:41.720]  Now let's wave our magic wand again and create a second nation again with a million inhabitants,
[06:41.720 --> 06:47.040]  but in this case, you've only got two or 3% of that nation's population that hold racist
[06:47.040 --> 06:48.040]  views.
[06:48.040 --> 06:52.400]  We'll call it 2% so we can use 98% as the percentage that doesn't.
[06:53.400 --> 07:00.080]  If 98% of that nation does not have racist views and therefore 98% of that population
[07:00.080 --> 07:05.200]  inhabits its institutions, that means 98% of the people who work within these institutions
[07:05.200 --> 07:10.640]  are non-racist, it means the institutions are not going to act in a racist manner.
[07:10.640 --> 07:16.440]  You can't just say things like systemic and institutional because it does ultimately come
[07:16.440 --> 07:22.800]  down to what percentage of your population actually, not what they say out loud, actually
[07:22.800 --> 07:26.400]  appear in their brain holds racist views.
[07:26.400 --> 07:30.760]  It absolutely informs you how your institutions are going to act.
[07:30.760 --> 07:37.540]  Element number two, merely making laws colorblind on paper may not be enough to make the application
[07:37.540 --> 07:38.540]  of the law colorblind.
[07:38.540 --> 07:44.960]  In other words, the critical race theory contends that colorblind laws can be applied in a racially
[07:44.960 --> 07:47.160]  discriminatory way.
[07:47.160 --> 07:53.360]  I don't see how anyone could deny that element number two is factual, especially when we
[07:53.360 --> 07:57.600]  have the admissions of the gentleman who was probably the primary mover and shaker for
[07:57.600 --> 07:59.560]  creating the war on drugs.
[07:59.560 --> 08:05.320]  John Ehrlichman was Richard Nixon's chief domestic advisor.
[08:05.320 --> 08:09.360]  He was basically the architect of the war on drugs.
[08:09.360 --> 08:12.680]  Several years ago, he was interviewed by an author.
[08:12.680 --> 08:18.040]  He made the following statement about the war on drugs, quote, You want to know what
[08:18.040 --> 08:21.080]  this was really all about?
[08:21.080 --> 08:28.000]  The Nixon campaign in 1968 and the Nixon White House after that had two enemies, the anti-war
[08:28.000 --> 08:30.880]  left and black people.
[08:30.880 --> 08:33.320]  You understand what I'm saying.
[08:33.320 --> 08:39.360]  We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting
[08:39.360 --> 08:46.080]  the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then
[08:46.080 --> 08:48.240]  criminalize both heavily.
[08:48.240 --> 08:49.880]  We could disrupt those communities.
[08:49.880 --> 08:54.220]  We could arrest those leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify
[08:54.220 --> 08:57.300]  them night after night on the evening news.
[08:57.300 --> 09:00.160]  Did we know we were lying about the drugs?
[09:00.160 --> 09:03.520]  Of course we did, close quote.
[09:03.520 --> 09:09.960]  The war on drugs is perhaps the quintessential example of statutes that are on their face
[09:09.960 --> 09:17.520]  race neutral, but were used for decades to go after and silence minorities.
[09:17.520 --> 09:24.460]  So clearly the critical race theory is correct that statutes that are indeed race neutral
[09:24.460 --> 09:27.760]  can be misapplied to go after minorities.
[09:27.800 --> 09:38.080]  I think it's just common sense that the more advancement the United States makes in stopping
[09:38.080 --> 09:43.360]  the errors in jurisprudence that the critical race theory points out, the more advancement
[09:43.360 --> 09:48.960]  we make, the less relevant the critical race theory is going to be.
[09:48.960 --> 09:54.880]  Shouldn't the goal of every single American be to clean up the system to the point where
[09:54.880 --> 09:59.520]  what the critical race theory describes no longer exists?
[09:59.520 --> 10:07.960]  So where does all the strife, the political contention, the clickbait by the news media,
[10:07.960 --> 10:12.440]  where does all the strife come from concerning the critical race theory?
[10:12.440 --> 10:16.840]  We've gone through the elements and it certainly seems to be factual.
[10:16.840 --> 10:18.960]  Ehrlichman certainly confirmed it.
[10:19.000 --> 10:26.720]  I think the first reason for all the strife and the apparent pushback by a certain element
[10:26.720 --> 10:29.200]  of society is their ignorance.
[10:29.200 --> 10:31.640]  They have no idea what it means.
[10:31.640 --> 10:35.840]  So here's what I think they hear.
[10:35.840 --> 10:39.320]  Critical race theory is irrelevant to them.
[10:39.320 --> 10:40.900]  Critical race.
[10:40.900 --> 10:48.520]  How they interpret that is, well Martha, you know with them, that's libspeak for all of
[10:48.520 --> 10:50.600]  us, white people are evil.
[10:50.600 --> 10:53.240]  I really think that's kind of how they perceive it.
[10:53.240 --> 10:57.840]  Critical, they don't see it as the critique or analysis that we talked about earlier on
[10:57.840 --> 11:01.400]  in the presentation, which is the factual origins, they don't see it as that way.
[11:01.400 --> 11:06.860]  They see critical as in I'm criticizing and then they see race.
[11:06.860 --> 11:10.760]  So I'm criticizing the white race.
[11:10.760 --> 11:16.240]  As nutty as that is, I think that's really how these people who are just angry as hell
[11:16.240 --> 11:19.520]  about the critical race theory, I think that's how they see it.
[11:19.520 --> 11:22.760]  Like I said, ignorance, mass ignorance.
[11:22.760 --> 11:28.200]  I think the second reason for all the angst and the angry pushback, we saw that article
[11:28.200 --> 11:32.040]  just about a week ago about some school board meeting erupting and going insane over the
[11:32.040 --> 11:35.600]  critical race theory, total bonehead stuff.
[11:35.600 --> 11:38.760]  So I think the pushback number one is the ignorance we just talked about in point one,
[11:38.760 --> 11:41.320]  they really think it means criticizing white people.
[11:41.320 --> 11:48.000]  So obviously white parents, if they in their ignorance, they think it's criticizing white
[11:48.000 --> 11:49.000]  people.
[11:49.000 --> 11:53.040]  Yeah, I can understand why white parents wouldn't want their little white darlings educated
[11:53.040 --> 11:55.920]  to believe white people are the white devils.
[11:55.920 --> 11:58.960]  I get that, but of course it's not about that.
[11:58.960 --> 12:05.600]  But here's my thinking of critical race theory as being presented in schools.
[12:05.600 --> 12:06.960]  Schools have all different levels, right?
[12:06.960 --> 12:11.560]  So we have to go back to the fact that the critical race theory came from the critical
[12:11.560 --> 12:14.640]  theory from the Frankfurt School, then it was critical legal studies, then it became
[12:14.640 --> 12:21.840]  the critical race theory, all of that within the construct of the legal profession.
[12:21.840 --> 12:27.160]  We're talking about back in the 70s when the critical legal theory first started to take
[12:27.160 --> 12:35.560]  on its current contours, it was a bunch of attorneys sitting around discussing misapplication,
[12:35.680 --> 12:40.160]  whether it's accidental or intentional is a different subject, misapplication of law
[12:40.160 --> 12:45.600]  by which to target minorities, there's a bunch of attorneys discussing how to improve this
[12:45.600 --> 12:46.920]  situation.
[12:46.920 --> 12:49.280]  So here's my view.
[12:49.280 --> 12:52.760]  Something that was discussed by people at places like Harvard and Cornell has no place
[12:52.760 --> 12:54.880]  in K through 12.
[12:54.880 --> 13:00.440]  I have no problem with anybody on the planet, most especially any Americans, learning about
[13:00.440 --> 13:03.600]  the critical race theory, learn on.
[13:03.640 --> 13:07.320]  The more knowledge we have in our head, we can decide whether we like something, don't
[13:07.320 --> 13:11.000]  like something, accept it, reject it, think it has merit, don't have merit.
[13:11.000 --> 13:13.040]  So learning is not a problem, right?
[13:13.040 --> 13:17.040]  I think these parents, though, when it comes to like K through 12, they see that the system
[13:17.040 --> 13:21.360]  is trying to brainwash their white kids to believe their white parents are white devil
[13:21.360 --> 13:22.360]  again.
[13:22.360 --> 13:28.040]  So my thing is, it doesn't even belong in K through 12, I don't care what race you are.
[13:28.040 --> 13:32.440]  Something being discussed by the elites of the legal profession at Harvard and Cornell
[13:32.440 --> 13:34.200]  doesn't belong in K through 12.
[13:34.200 --> 13:35.200]  You want to teach it?
[13:35.200 --> 13:41.480]  Teach it to college, teach it to universities, teach it where it belongs, not K through 12.
[13:41.480 --> 13:46.480]  So if you hung with me through this entire presentation, you now are not one of these
[13:46.480 --> 13:51.200]  boneheads who have no understanding of what critical race theory is and completely make
[13:51.200 --> 13:53.960]  up in their own minds whatever the hell they want it to mean.
[13:53.960 --> 13:58.200]  You now understand where it came from, how it evolved, and what it actually is today.
[13:58.200 --> 14:02.340]  You've seen examples of it play out in the real world that I've shared with you here.
[14:02.340 --> 14:03.460]  So you have a better understanding.
[14:03.460 --> 14:06.700]  So I hope this has been very helpful for you.
[14:06.700 --> 14:12.180]  If you'd like to get this kind of clarity on various other subjects, may I encourage
[14:12.180 --> 14:14.380]  you to go to DrReality.News.
[14:14.380 --> 14:17.180]  Pick yourself up a copy of Income Tax Shattering the Mist.
[14:17.180 --> 14:23.220]  Seriously, guys, the income tax is absolutely just as misunderstood as the critical race
[14:23.220 --> 14:24.220]  theory.
[14:24.220 --> 14:30.660]  What Congress has actually done in the law bears no resemblance to what the average American
[14:30.660 --> 14:31.660]  thinks.
[14:31.660 --> 14:36.220]  That's probably 95%, 96%, 97% of the American public thinks a particular way about income
[14:36.220 --> 14:37.220]  tax.
[14:37.220 --> 14:41.580]  Then when you look at what Congress has actually enacted, it has no relevance, no bearing,
[14:41.580 --> 14:42.580]  no similarity, nothing.
[14:42.580 --> 14:46.060]  It's like, wow, how did we get here?
[14:46.060 --> 14:50.940]  So if you want to find out what the law really says, go to DrReality.News and pick yourself
[14:50.940 --> 14:53.620]  up a copy of Income Tax Shattering the Mist.
[14:53.620 --> 14:58.060]  As I close, body science, same thing with human physiology.
[14:58.060 --> 15:01.300]  When you look at how the human body actually functions versus what Americans have been
[15:01.300 --> 15:06.540]  told over the last 60 years by the establishment, it's like, no, not at all.
[15:06.540 --> 15:09.600]  That's not what the science says, but it's what everybody believes.
[15:09.600 --> 15:13.140]  So again, if you want some clarity, go to DrReality.News, get yourself a copy of Body
[15:13.140 --> 15:15.420]  Science, and thank you for spending a little bit of time with me today.
