The Trump administration is courageously taking on “Critical Race Theory” but their approach is only half right

The Trump administration is courageously taking on “Critical Race Theory” but their approach is only half right. The “1619 Project” derives from critical race theory and seeks to convince Americans that the country was founded on slavery and racism and says that racism, not equality, is deep in the culture of American society. CRT says our power structures are all based on white privilege and white supremacy, which marginalizes people of color. Propaganda materials based on the these projects have been distributed in schools around the country. White children are being taught that they are only privileged oppressors. Black children are taught that they’re born victims.

First of all Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project in reality promote nonwhites over whites disguised as a call for equality. As Murray Rothbard wrote : “Behind the honeyed but patently absurd pleas for equality is a ruthless drive for placing themselves (the elite) at the top of a new hierarchy of power.”

The second point is that not just whites but human nature is genetically ethnocentric or racist, not with one group overall superior or inferior but with different talents, never equal, because for many thousands of years right up to our present time group selection, or ethnic altruism, was the best way to be successful in survival and reproduction. So human nature became genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

So Trump is half right in calling Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project a scam and a sham, but Critical Race Theory is also half right in finding ethnocentrism or racism disguised in the founding of modern cultures (not so much disguised in ancient cultures), but they are wrong in not seeing the racism and will to power behind people of color and Critical Race Theory.

Is their a way out of our serious identity crisis? Yes, if we will take it.  A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.
