In the episode we review chapter five of Cynical Theories by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay. The subtitle of the chapter is "Ending Racism by Seeing It Everywhere." It is an excellent and concise way of explaining the approach of critical race Theorists and advocates of Intersectionality. We review the postmodern background to these views and consider ways in which CRT/I has affected psychology and the church.
We discuss a chart that defines "Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness & White Culture in the United States" that was put together by the African-American History Museum. You can find the chart in this article "Is the Anti-Racism Industry Just Peddling White Supremacy?"
We also discuss the relationship between CRT and Jemar Tisby's #LeaveLOUD movement. Here's a link to our podcast review of Jemar Tisby's The Color of Compromise. Ibram X. Kendi and many others have promoted the authority of personal experience and moved away from materialist analysis.
