I'll address your request for clarification about baby steps and risk. OK, so baby steps are what's been happening and it hasn't been enough? What else is new? It does not behoove this nation to pivot on its axis every time a new president comes into power or a new movement hits the streets. Our system of government is built for gridlock on purpose, to mitigate risk. It's childish to throw a hissy fit because things aren't going your way fast enough for your fancy.
Re risk: You're talking about government programs (so really, redistribution of wealth) and new education curricula. From everything I've heard about CRT, it seems like the intent is to decide which wealth redistribution is best. So when you're talking about taxing people more, or moving tax dollars from one program to another, and also molding our youths' minds, you bet your ask there is risk that we start heading down the wrong path. I fear the path towards socialism but yes, I understand, a lot of you don't. It is what it is.
Now onto the video.
First off, these people in the video you linked are convinced that white supremacy is the root cause of all their problems (see the 7:50 mark). So, yeah. I think I'm going to disagree with them.
You say tom-AH-to, I say tom-AY-to. You listen to her and hear nothing but affirmation that CRT is just dandy and I listen to her and hear her affirm that CRT is what I think it is, which is not a good thing.
She starts with the civil rights movement and basically says what happened after that wasn't good enough. Affirmative action, other "targeted programs to address racial inequality," and liberal colorblindness all wasn't good enough. More is needed, according to her, you, and other people who support CRT in search of "racial justice."
You pointed out a shortcoming, that redlining was happening, and CRT discovered it. OK...seems like the system works as-is, and has been working for decades. Why is there all of the sudden a big push to change it even more? Like for instance, starting to teach CRT in schools.
You call it "moral panic drummed in by reactionaries," and in the video you posted, they lament that some states want to not allow CRT to be taught in schools. The man basically says (paraphrasing), "Where are these schools teaching CRT? I've never seen it. This (banning CRT being taught in schools) seems like a solution in search of a problem." The woman, paraphrasing, says, "This is a right wing approach...they make up a problem and create a moral panic around an issue that doesn't exist...in order to distract from their own failed policies." (I see why you like her)
Haha, well that's the thing, people react to the communicated intent. There is an intent to start teaching CRT in schools, and there is a reaction to that intent. How can they (and you) say this is just "drumming up moral panic to a problem that doesn't exist?"
I can use their same logic to say we don't need CRT to be taught in schools because it's a solution in search of a problem. Their quest to teach everyone that white supremacy is alive and well, and at the root of all their problems, is a typical left wing tactic to drum up moral panic to a problem that doesn't exist and distract from their own failed policies.
