When talking about neo-Marxist nonsense like CRT, oppressed people can do no wrong when acting against "oppressors". That means that racial prejudice (racism is merely a type of prejudice) isn't wrong if black people do it because of where they sit on the oppression hierarchy.
Again, you are applying your own definitions. In CRT, those are two distinct concepts. One is not merely a form of the other. One refers to individual behavior, the other refers to a systematic issue.
This is not the same as saying your critique or CRT does or does not have merit. I’m just saying you are conflating the concepts, so in a way you are undermining your own argument, because you are not arguing against what was actually said.
CRT does not argue that it’s okay for black people to be racist, it argues black people DON’T HAVE THE POWER to be racist, because CRT defines racism as a systematic phenomenon and black people in the US don't have that type of power.
Whether you think that theory is sound is a different issue. lol. Obviously you are free to believe that’s bunk.
In the meantime, you keep inferring that CRT argues it’s okat for black people to hate white all people, but that’s not what “racism” is under this theory. You can’t point to a sentence in CRT using a variation of the word “racist” as proof when they’ve already stated that’s not what they mean when they say racist.
No, not at all. Marxists are totalitarians just like Nazis, right now they are using anarchists to help tear down the current system to aid in their conquest, but those anarchists would be the first they'd purge once seizing power.
Marxism IS oppressive tyranny, it doesn't oppose those things. You are drinking the Kool-Aid.
I believe that is what the Nazis and Bolsheviks did at first too.

we've already established the totalitarian nature of the far left.
Marxism certainly is oppressive tyranny, but they are fundamentally hypocrites. They self-identify in groups, in collectivist circles. The purpose is to identity themselves as victims, to then identify oppressors from other group identities of their choosing and eventually eliminate them. Many of them are possibly well meaning, but they are off'd in the next waves when the identity circles change and all of a sudden they are targeted as oppressors. It's a breeding ground for the most conniving, most savage, and most oppressive strong man like Stalin that eventually floats to the top and creates a final small circle of power that oppresses the entire nation.
At that point there has been a purge of any threats and it's an established dictatorship

But what I told you is CRT are lairs spouting lies. For example blacks have power to be racist if they want in the system by proxy with voting for their candidates and by directly. They are government political leaders and officials. Ever heard of a black major or police chief? They have leadership positions in the private sector.

Part of the problem, wouldn't you say? These Critical Theory disciplines in college are re-defining words for all of society to suit their needs. CRT decides that if you are a minority, no matter what you do by definition cannot be racist. But it's second level stuff, and VERY VERY clever, as you state the position is that they "DON’T HAVE THE POWER to be racist". It's a jedi mind trick
It's very convenient, and what a cover for malfeasance

No, I'm applying the actual definitions. I dismiss neo-Marxist nonsense entirely and that includes their attempts to re-define words.
Also, you are incorrect, they not only argue that black people cannot be racist due to their ridiculous false definition of the word, they argue that an oppressed person cannot wrong an oppressor, meaning that it would not even be wrong for a black person to outright kill a white person.
Hell, having the oppressed rise up and kill their oppressors was the entire basis of what Marx wanted to happen.

And eventually Nazism wanted to happen. Hitler's basis was there was an oppressed group that should use force against their various oppressors.

Honestly communism and Nazism are two sides of the same coin, so yeah, just about anything I say about communism, you can find a parallel in Nazi Germany.
