as the post says, i'm looking for something that debunks the notion of critical race theory, not something that critiques cancel culture or points out some flaws of the theory. But an actual intellectual argument that debunks the notion of systematic racism and all that other jazz.

This extends intersectional feminist theory in general. Every time i've tried to look up some type of critique all I get is jordan peterson videos and prager U stuff ranting about the loony left.

You’re not going to find this because systemic racism (it’s systemic, not systematic retard) is undoubtedly a real thing in the United States (which you are from). Also the belief in systemic racism is not exclusive to critical race theory. Essentially you’re a complete retard and don’t know what you’re even looking to argue against. Maybe, maybe stop being such a retard. Anyway, it’s systemic not systematic. Read a book

he's right, there are whole laws about how people have to hire certain kinds of people, how college admissions have to let certain proportions of people in even if they don't have good test scores, the government literally sets aside taxpayer money and gives it businesses run by only certain kinds of people. private businesses participate too, they openly give out discounts to businesses run by certain kinds of people and not others, financial institutions now have explicit policies about not working with businesses that don't have a minimum proportion of certain kinds of people on their boards of directors
systemic racism is literally an explicit thing in this country, like there are actual policies about it

The only thing you need to know to debunk critical race theory is the basic fact that the different races don’t have equal average IQs so why would expect them to have the same outcome. You don’t have to be a /pol/ Nazi to acknowledge basic facts about human cognitive diversity.

"Systemic racism" is an empty term that means whatever I need it to mean in order to advance my political agenda. In the absence of a real argument, I vaguely accuse society at large of harbouring antipathy towards my pet demographic, excusing them of all wrongs and perenially fixing them in the role of the victim.

Therefore, when a black criminal murders an old Asian man, that's due to white supremacy and racism.

>> No.17981086

>>17980947
the best argument I can think of is that if there is racism in society it's going to have a definitive source.

there is the idea that systemic racism exists in western societies and that such racism is found at the foundation of those societies, and that although progress has been made there's still lingering racism from that system that still remains.

And that consequently since those power structures endemic to that system still exist, the main intended beneficiaries (white people) still benefit from that system.

But if you take this idea out of the west and say, apply to some historical society like ancient greece (just an example i'm not an expert on ancient greece) and instead of race it's sexism. then presuming you remove the main elements of what constitutes sexism in that society (laws, cultural values explicitly stated in the culture) then all you really have is people who remember the old days that hold onto those values. without those views taking some form in way of an opposition it's hard to say that such sexism exists in anything but the lingering periphery of the cultural zeitgeist.

Obviously racism exists in society to some degree. The main forms being in place like in the edges of conservative movements (mostly conservatives are not racists) and the reactionary movement to stuff like sjws. but only to the degree that people are involved in those extreme fringes is racism. How can an individual where the dominant zeigeist is intersectional feminism and the establishment itself is pushing such values, be a system of white supremacy and systemic racism? i'm looking for something like this or a more comprehensive argument that I can quote or link people to. These are just some thoughts I came up with last night before going to bed, so don't take it as some comprehensive argument.

>>17980756
>>17980897
that's more empirical evidence, while it's good, it's hard to argue with someone who won't take the time to look at it (especially in good faith) that's why i'm looking for an intellectual rebuttal, rather than getting bogged down in a tit for tat "they commit more crimes" "only because police stop them more" and so on.

I think conservatives still don't understand it and I still think I'm right in saying that the common rejection is just a fear of postmodern ideas destabilizing liberalism. I think that the other posters might be right, unfortunately, that the only "intellectual" argument (that is, the only argument that counters CRT on its own level), is the Nazi one. But I don't even know if that's a counter argument necessarily because its not as if these things on the "left" can't quickly turn into Nationalist political regimes. But honestly, we're not going to tear down the country any time soon, the conservatives are just angry that they have to give up a bit of power since they lost the recent civil/culture war and are currently busy seething.

From this perspective the racial movements are correct within the current world trajectory, but do not see its implications. There is a higher race (in terms of power but not necessarily quality or strength) being created and the conflicts are a part of this integration to the new race. The white man is already there, his nihilism is perfect and so he can watch the ruination of his cities from a place of comfort. thus the store owner who welcomes the looting of his property as a sacrifice to the higher cause.

His being totally leveled is what paves the way for the other races - they retain the image of humanity for him while at the same time increasing the destructive force of the old races. We see this as an element of exhaustion as the old races will quickly abandon their own character and become as faceless as the white man they despise. This is what lies behind black integration, if they are to be fully absorbed they must initiate their own leveling process.

There is a possible parallel here in the subsequent subterfuge of leftist movements by the black face and their own liberalisation - one and the same with the black bourgeoisie, and the final push to mobilise the black economy. The irony that this occurs where all economic conditions are failing cannot be escaped: the black man finds himself as house nigger of irrational exuberance.

White flight from the cities takes on another character from this perspective, as the black autonomous zones will either liberalize themselves or become centralizing forces. Illegalist but also a sign that integration has failed at the very level of dominion - within the blood of the land which searches out its new laws.

Liberalism, rationality and equality under the law are not perfect but they are a framework for an interracial society. A challenge to this structure is also a challenge to the protections that it offers which are substantially greater than the harms. Unless CRT advocates can show a politically viable path to an improved system they are doing harm to our society.
