‘Whitest White’ Paint Beats the Heat – Scientific American
Posted: at 10:14 am
The blackest black paint has absorbed 99.9 percent of public attention for far too long. Now the time has come to shed some light on the other end of the practical paint spectrum: a new colorant described as the whitest white. Like its dark counterpart, famously used for things such as thermal camouflage, the new paint has important potential applications. Surfaces coated with it reflect 98.1 percent of sunlight, creating a powerful cooling effectwithout any of the electricity required by commercial air conditioners.
The 98.1 percent means that now we only absorb 1.9 percent of sunlight, compared to 10 to 20 percent absorption from [white or heat reflective] commercial paints. Thats a significant reduction, says Xiulin Ruan, a mechanical engineer at Purdue University and a co-author of a new study describing the paint published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. By reflecting so much sunlight, the novel mixture can actually release heat from a coated building. Ruan and his colleagues at Purdue calculate that covering a 1,000-square-foot (more than 90-square-meter) roof with their paint could cool a building by about 10 kilowatts. This effect might not eliminate the need for energy-hungry air conditioners, but it could reduce their use. Our model shows if youre in, say, Reno, Nev., or Phoenix, Ariz., you can save up to 70 to 80 percent on air conditioning in the summer, Ruan says.
Scientists have been developing reflective paints for decades, but todays commercial products still remain at or above the surrounding temperature. In the past 10 years, however, researchers have found greater success with multilayered coatings that incorporate tiny particlessome on the nanoscalewhich reflect many wavelengths of light. Teams atStanford University and the University of Colorado Boulder have shown that such materials can cool a surface to below the ambient temperature. Unfortunately, manufacturing such coatings and applying them to a surface may cost moreand requires a more intensive processthan simply slapping on some paint.
In 2014 Ruan decided to take a hybrid approach and create a paint that could easily be brushed or sprayed onto a surfacebut would still incorporate a reflective nanomaterial. His team tested substances such as titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate and made a cooling but less reflective paint out of the latter last year. The researchers ultimately selected a relatively inexpensive compound called barium sulfate. Next, they calibrated the necessary concentration of this white material to make the paint as reflective as possible without degrading its ability to stick together. Finally, the team made sure the barium sulfate particles came in a variety of sizes because each size scatters a different wavelength of light.
I like this study. I think its promising, says Yuan Yang, a materials scientist at Columbia University, who was not involved in the research. And I think theres a potential to be commercialized. Ruan says he hopes to bring a version of his paint to market in a year or two. The price is comparable to, or even slightly lower than, titanium dioxide that is used in commercial paints, he notes. Manufacturing doesnt involve any expensive nanotechnology. Although its still a nanotech, it is a very affordable nanotech.
But there is plenty of competition from other researchers. And Yang points out that any reflective product will need to stand up to the real world, where grime coats surfaces over time. A manufacturer will have to grapple with how to make sure that the paint stays white after 30 years of use, he says.
Ruan sees his work as a tool to fight the climate emergency. President [Joe] Biden talked about cutting carbon emissions in half by the end of 2030, he says. Our paint can contribute to that goal because it lets us get cooling without using power.

Retiring Supreme Court judge Abella on dangers of populism, the role of the courts and a cherished family life – CTV News
Posted: at 10:13 am
OTTAWA -- Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella marked her last day on the bench on Friday, a day she says was filled with emotion and reflection of the long and decorated career path that got her to this point.
In an exclusive interview on CTVs Question Period airing Sunday, Abella said she thought about her parents, her husband, and her two sons before she said goodbye to a seat she was appointed to 17 years ago.
I thought of my family, I thought of the people I went on this journey with. I thought of my parents, who encouraged me to be whatever I wanted to be. I thought of my husband, who was married to the only woman he knew, she said.
I thought of my kids, my amazing two sons, their wonderful wives and my grandchildren. So it was a day to think about origins, because when you come to endings you start to give yourself permission to think about the arc and where it began.
Friday was the last hearing of the spring session and Abellas last day, but she will officially retire on July 1, 2021, on her 75th birthday. She will continue to work on judgments for cases shes heard for up to six months after retirement.
Abella was born to Holocaust survivors in a Displaced Person's Camp in Stuttgart, Germany on July 1, 1946. They moved to Canada as refugees in 1950 and despite the horror they witnessed, she said her home was filled with optimism.
I never, never felt anyone had a happier home than I did, notwithstanding what they'd gone through. That to me is the ongoing miracle of their life, the way they reconstituted their lives here in Canada, and the way they never stopped being grateful to the country, for all of the opportunities it gave their children, she said.
Her quest for justice was sparked after her father, a trained lawyer, wasnt able to practice when he arrived in Canada because he wasnt a citizen.
In 1976, she was appointed to the Ontario Family Court and was the first pregnant person appointed to the judiciary in Canada. She was then appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1992.
I didnt know any other mothers who were lawyers and then when I got appointed to the bench and was pregnant with our younger son, there were no women on the Family Court bench at the time, Family Court bench, no women. So, I had no idea how this was going to work out, none, because I had nobody to look to to say, You can do this, this can work. So, my husband and I just kind of worked together in a way that we thought worked best for us and for our kids, she said.
In 1984, she was appointed as the commissioner of the royal commission on equality in the workforce, famously coining the term employment equity. Her work in that report was adopted by the governments of Canada, New Zealand, Northern Ireland and South Africa.
Asked whether its this accomplishment that shes most proud of, Abella said shes found pride in many of her legal experiences.
I was very proud of being able to be a lawyer, having clients that I could steer towards a remedy that made them comfortable. I loved being a family court judge and learning how to judge, she said.
So I mean if you want me to identify one legal item, it's, I guess it's the chance to have had so many of those legal experiences.
In 2004, she made her debut at the Supreme Court of Canada becoming the first Jewish woman to hold the position.
Years later, delivering a speech at Brandeis University in Massachusetts while accepting an honorary degree, she told a crowd of faculty, staff and graduates that she was deeply worried about the state of justice in the world.
She spoke about the Second World War and the commitment made by nations to unite in democratic solidarity to protect values that prevent war and human rights abuses.
Yet here we are in 2017, barely seven decades later, watching never again turn into again and again, and watching that wonderful democratic consensus fragment, shattered by narcissistic populism, an unhealthy tolerance for intolerance, a cavalier indifference to equality, a deliberate amnesia about the instruments and values of democracy that are no less crucial than elections, and a shocking disrespect for the borders between power and its independent adjudicators like the press and the courts.
On CTVs Question Period, she said this concern remains top of mind.
It is terrifying to me, because I think if there is failure of rights somewhere, there is a failure of rights potentially everywhere and the greater our tolerance becomes for abuses that we shouldn't for a second tolerate, the less we become the world that I was born into, in 1946, she said, adding the global community has lost the ability to enforce moral standards.
We've demonized the words of democracy, we've replaced majority, minority relationships and the balancing with populism, with authoritarianism, with crushing the media, crushing the independence of the judiciary, crushing the independence of the bar and the rights of minorities And we read about it all the time and we worry about it all the time and nothing happens.
On criticism that the courts, because of the application of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, are taking too prominent a role in Canadian society and infringing on the roles and responsibilities of elected officials, Abella said we never didnt stick to our lane.
We interpret statutes, we interpret laws and policies, and we interpret constitutions and the constitution since 1982 including the protection of rights, human rights and civil liberties.
She added that while interpreting and enforcing a set of rights might end up upsetting people, judges have tenures, so that they can protect their impartiality, cannot be removed from office until they're 75 for decisions they make that are unpopular because that's not our role, we're not there to be popular.
Above all else, she said Canadians should be reassured by their judicial system and the judges who work within it.
The good faith in Canada's judges, the wisdom and the intelligence is extraordinary. I don't have a slight hesitation, their ability to deliver justice to the Canadian public.

However, in the run up to the second round the more centrist candidates joined forces pushing centre-right candidate Guillermo Lasso to a surprise victory in the runoff, Sones said. Following that result, short-term Ecuadorean bonds went from languishing in the US$50 range following Arauzs primary win to more than US$80 after Lassos victory.
Of course, things could play out much less favourably, as they did for Argentina. Sones recounted how in 2018, then-president Mauricio Macri took on an ambitious program of fiscal restraint and structural renewal as the country had just been the beneficiary of the largest IMF bailout ever up to that point. While that austerity program delighted global debt investors, it sorely tested the electorate and, in 2019, they voted to replace Macri with centre-left populist Alberto Fernandez.
Since then, the fiscal deficit has worsened, and the Argentinian peso has tumbled, Sones said, noting that the country last year defaulted on its debt for the ninth time in its history, leaving its bonds trading at roughly 35 cents on the U.S. dollar today. Meanwhile, foreign currency reserves are near zero making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Argentina to make debt payments to the IMF or anyone else.
Those contrasting examples, he said, show just how divergent the fortunes of EMs can be, and how some EM bonds suppressed by political concerns might see their price appreciate substantially if concerns surrounding them prove unwarranted. Beyond that, developing economies that are highly exposed to the global economy today may be able to take advantage of a post-COVID recovery tomorrow.
In todays environment, with yields low and spreads between bond classes tight, it makes sense for fixed income investors to have the flexibility to consider some EM bond exposure that might take advantage of situations where politics and economic reform are in play, Sones said. The risks, however, can be high, and it is important to be thoughtful and avoid bias.

Corruption and populism – Malta Independent Online
Posted: at 10:13 am
As the economy prepares to re-open, many of us are full of pent-up energy, with plans of what wed like to do, and were in no mood to be judged or controlled by others.
Funnily enough, however, were also approaching the re-opening afflicted by various forms of fatigue: tired by Covid, tired of politicians, exhausted by the corruption.
We know theyre important but were not in a mood to sit and listen to more information. We just want to get up and go.
Its all understandable but heres why its important to see that corruption isnt just something you learn about. Its something that blocks you and shackles you from doing what you want to do. Its not the corruption revelations that weigh you down: it is the corruption itself.
The vicious circle is all documented. Transparency International looks at the impact of corruption on growth and inequality. It does not take a moralistic perspective. It simply focuses on corruption as an obstacle to economic growth, with a corrosive impact on business operations.
Ultimately, says Transparency International: Corruption is costly for companies There is a strong business case for fighting corruption. At the company level, corruption raises costs, introduces uncertainties, reputational risks and vulnerability to extortion. It depresses a companys valuations, makes access to capital more expensive and undermines fair competition While facilitation payments typically consist of small amounts, they can add up to substantial amounts when aggregated at the company, national or global level.
Transparency International also highlights that corruption affects inequality and income distribution. We can certainly see this is undeniably true of Malta.
As Noel Grima wrote in this paper a month ago, There is now incontrovertible proof that the years the Labour Party has been in office did not really benefit the social class a socialist government should be defending and promoting the poor.
Grima analysed the report published by The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, known as Eurofound. It found that the bottom half of Maltese society, which in 2010 owned 14% of total national wealth, by 2017 found it was owning just 10%.
In short, in just seven years, the poorer half of Malta saw its share of the nations wealth go down by a third of what it used to be.
And the richest 5% of the Maltese population, which under the capitalist PN administration owned one third of the national wealth, by 2017 was owning 40%.
In other words, the poor are getting poorer, and the super-rich are getting much richer.
Labour went into government mouthing the mantra that they would be eradicating poverty. They promised meritocracy (ha!). All they did was spout slogans against the establishment while secretly striking deals with a favoured few within it.
According to a study called A Political Theory of Populism, authored by Daron Acemoglu, Georgy Egorov and Konstantin Sonin, and published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics in 2013, the year Joseph Muscat came to power:
There has recently been a resurgence of populist politicians in several developing countries, particularly in Latin America. Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, the Kirchners in Argentina, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Alan Garca in Peru, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador are some of the examples. The label populist is often used to emphasize that these politicians use a rhetoric that aggressively defends the interests of the common man against the privileged elite.
Of course, at the time, Joseph Muscat was about to become the notorious populist he turned out to be, but he would have fit the same profile as the Latin American leaders mentioned in the article.
The same authors quote another study, which states: Populist regimes have historically tried to deal with income inequality problems through the use of overly expansive macroeconomic policies. These policies, which have relied on deficit financing, generalized controls, and a disregard for basic economic equilibria, have almost unavoidably resulted in major macroeconomic crises that have ended up hurting the poorer segments of society.
Sounds familiar, doesnt it? In Malta, Muscat was the protagonist of this movement. He left nothing to chance. He deliberately did what he did. Sadly, he had no plans for this countrys future economic growth and instead focused on the short-term business cycles in which he and his friends were (and are still) involved in a huge money-making political scam. He sold himself and his famous roadmap as the solution to the countrys problems, but his intentions were far from noble.
Muscat is no longer the Prime Minister of this country. Invictus left the scene with the award of the most corrupt leader in the world. Our country is sadly still caught up in the mess he left behind.
Corruption and populism have blurred our vision. In the eyes of many, politicians have all become not just dirty, but totally filthy. People are finding it hard to tell apart the clean politicians from the ones who gave us all such a bad name.
I honestly hope we all see the danger of the situation we are in. Our democracy will suffer if we do not collectively make an effort to change. This is not the responsibility of just a few of us. We all have to work hard towards this, not from the ivory tower but by rolling up our sleeves to clean up our country once and for all.

From What to Why on the Trump Proletarian Narrative – CounterPunch.org – CounterPunch
Posted: at 10:13 am
Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair
The wrongheaded but ubiquitous notion that the Republican Amerikaner Trump base is the (um, white) working-class drawn to populism has been disproven in study after study showing that the Trumpenvolk are relatively affluent, not proletarian and poor, and driven by an ugly, mutually reinforcing mixture of racism, sexism, nativism, fundamentalism, and authoritarianism.
Those who have habitually called the backers of Trump and his white nationalist party working class have tended to badly conflate education level and region of residence with class. They have fallen for the foolish notion that someone is working class and economically anxious simply because one does not possess a college degree and/or lives in a region that does not contribute much to the national gross domestic product.
They ignore evidence available in social science and everyday observation showing that the main thing driving the right-wing and frankly (though they wont say so and indeed often recoil against the description) fascist (not populist) sentiments of the Amerikaner Trumpenvolk is racist patriarchal authoritarian nationalism, not economic anxiety.
Whats it all about? I get why the working class [well, um, white working-class] Trump base narrative is strong on the right. Snotty corporate Republicans in the Fred Whirlpool Upton-Liz Cheney-National Review mode like to blame the takeover of their right-wing party by the lowbrow variant of white nationalism (Trumpism) on uncouth trailer trash. Classism provides them a convenient explanation for how the racist and reactionary politics they helped cultivate for decades became a tariff-bashing, coup-plotting Frankensteins monster beyond their control.
At the same time, Republicans in the Trump mode enjoy and embrace the populist and working class mantle, wrapping their virulently racist, sexist, ecocidal and stealthily plutocratic politics in the deceptive flag of the forgotten working men and women (but men primarily) of the heartland.
But why is the false (um, white) Trumpenproletarian narrative so widely shared in the center and even on the left? Neoliberal Democrats in the Clinton-Obama-Citigroup-Council on Foreign Relations-Third Way mode like the empirically unsupported storyline because it helps to justify their own long progressive-neoliberal (historian Nancy Frasers clever if oxymoronic phrase) flight from working-class causes and so-called populism to the corporate and managerial center-right. If the (um, white) proletariat is a reactionary basket of deplorables, to use Hillary Clintons colorful but impolitic 2016 language, well, then the Hell with the working-class and with populism.
Okay, but what about Bernie Sanders, and several progressive intellectuals Id rather not name, who seem irretrievably fixated basic data and social science be damned on the notion that the Trumpenvolk is composed of potentially progressive proletarian victims of neoliberalism to whom Democrats and the left must reach out? What is their foolish, anti-science judgement all about?
I have theories about this. Part of it, I suspect, is a kind of intellectual laziness and a certain data-phobic innumeracy related to a faux-left refusal to engage with quantitative social-scientific findings generated by the bourgeois academy. Theres work involved with data, work that has nothing to do with how many volumes of Marx or David Harvey or Chomsky or Zizek youve read. Without digging into the data, or at least into the work of people who dug into the data, one is left with the dominant and superficial political reporting, which has been running with the Trumpenproletarian (white) narrative from day one. The idea of Trumps base as working class has been planted by sheer repetition in the heads of even leading Left thinkers by the mainstream media. It resonates with the lefties memory of that [excessively praised 2004] Thomas Frank book on Kansas (Whats the Matter with Kansas? which left out race) and perhaps with their anecdotal knowledge of some local white guy Teamster who voted for Obama in 2012 but for Trump in 2016 and 2020.
Another part of it, I suspect, is that many people on the left, and this applies particularly to left intellectuals and academics, have little if any contact with actual human beings on the Trumpist right. They rarely or never talk to or closely observe the real socialism-loathing Trump base, much of which is far from proletarian and poor and little of which can ever be won over to Medicare for All and a Green New Deal (or even to the re-empowerment of unions). This also predisposes them towards acceptance of the ubiquitous mainstream narrative of Trumpism as white-proletarian populism.
Another part of it, I suspect, is the widespread refusal of many on the Left to acknowledge that Trump and Trumpism were and are neofascist. If you buy into the silly academic and journalistic notion that Trumpism is populism, you are likely to see working-class (um, white) content in it and blow-off actual research proving otherwise.
Another part of it, I suspect, is the tendency on the left to automatically associate any legitimate concerns with sexism, racism, nativism, transphobia, and homophobia with bourgeois identity politics. As you try to explain that reactionary social sentiments and related political authoritarianism, not economic populism and anxiety, are the real driving passions behind the Amerikaner base, these leftists curl up their faces in disgust and charge identity politics! as if being a Lefitst interested in building popular solidarity against capitalism-imperialism doesnt mean steadfastly opposing racism, nativism, sexism, trans-bashing, and homophobia.
And here, at the risk of being accused of that horrible sin bourgeois/PMC identity politics (false: I am a full-on communist opponent of capitalist class rule) I will (yes, anecdotally) observe that preponderant majority of avowed lefties who have curled their lips and advanced to me the empirically unsupported Trumpenproletarian thesis are themselves older and straight white males. Sometimes I wonder if they hold the thesis in part because they share at least some of the rights white patriarchal revulsion against anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-nativism, anti-transphobia, and anti-homophobia. At the same time, their white male privilege (the ones I hear from are typically quite comfortably situated) insulates them from the dangerous white nationalist sentiments and forces afoot in the land. Calling Trumps base working class gives them a way of stealthily putting a left spin on white male reaction and indifference. How pathetic.

Opinion: Understanding critical race theory reveals how it’s harmful to race relations – Des Moines Register
Posted: at 10:11 am
Shortly after signing House Bill 1775, Governor Kevin Stitt released this video on Twitter explaining why he signed the bill into law. Oklahoman
Rejecting Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideas, advocates of this way of looking at the world stoke divisiveness and discrimination.
There was a rare moment of bipartisan agreement recentlyconcerning race in America. In the Republican response to President Joe Bidensaddress to Congress, Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican Black man from South Carolina, avowed that America is not a racist country.Within two days Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris affirmed, I dont think America is a racist country. All three acknowledged the history of racism in our country and that racism still exists.
They differ on critical race theory, also called CRT, and its benefit or harm. An examination of CRT's ideas shows its counterproductive effects.
In our lifetimes, there has been a sea change in race relations.
At the time of my birth, the U.S. Army was integrated by President Harry Truman. In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in schools was unconstitutional, and President Dwight Eisenhower enforced it in Little Rock in 1957.Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech in 1963 at the March on Washington; in 1965, civil rights icon John Lewis, as a young Black man, helped lead the Selma-to-Montgomery marches over the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 endedvoting discrimination and Jim Crow laws.

In 1966, Five Smooth Stones, an interracial love story, became a best-seller, and in 1967, the movie of an interracial marriage engagementGuess Whos Coming to Dinner won an Academy Award. In 1976 the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated all race-based restrictions on marriage.A Gallup survey showed acceptance of interracial marriage went from 4% in 1959 to 87% in 2013. In 2017,39% even said interracial marriage was not just acceptable but was good for society, up from 24%in 2010.Today, a number of politicians of both parties are in biracial marriages, including Harris.
In 2008 a Black man, Barack Obama, was elected president of the United States and then re-elected.

Can anyone deny that our country has made very significant progress in racial fairness and equality in the past 70 years?
Are there still racists in our country?Absolutely, but they are fewer in number than ever,and people of color have more opportunity in our country than ever.A growing Black middle and professional class is testament to that. America is still consideredthe land of opportunity, which is why so many people around the world want to live here.
So why does it feel like we are going backwardin race relations?
It is not my intent to get into the issue of how one defines systemic racism.However, much is written about critical race theory, and its tenets are now being taught in schools.Many people really don't understand what CRT is, but it is the opinion of many jurists that it will actually set back civil rights and be harmful to race relations.
For in-depth analysis, read a 1999article in the Boston College of Law Review by Jeffrey Pyle, Race Equality and the Rule of Law: Critical Race Theorys Attack on the Promises of Liberalism. For many years CRTwas the province of university, law school and academic journals.Now it's being promoted for public institutions, public schools, teacher training programs, corporate human resource training sessions, and diversity workshops for every type of group.
There is no exact creed for CRT. Terms like equity (not to be confused with equality), social justice, diversity and inclusion, and culturally responsive teaching don't really convey itsscope or meaning.It first bubbled up about half a century agofromMarxist intellectuals with echoes ofthe Black power demands from that era.Rather than accepting a class-based dialectic of Marxists, CRT substitutes race for class in order to create a revolutionary coalition based on racial and ethnic categories.Ibram X. Kendi, who directs the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, says, In order to be truly antiracist, you have to be anti-capitalist.
ANOTHER VIEW: The real danger is in the right to ban ideas
Advocates of such ideas lost out in the 1960sto the nonviolent civil rights movement led byKing and the NAACP,which sought freedom and equality under the law.CRT actually disparages Kings dream of a country where one is judged by the content of one's character, not the color of one's skin.
CRT has two common themes: first, that white supremacy maintains power through the law, and, second, that the relationship between law and racial power must be transformed. Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic write in "Critical Race Theory: An Introduction" that CRT's writings would reject our founding liberal principles of rationality, legal equity, constitutional neutrality, and incremental civil rights. The substitute: a race conscious approach to social change targeting mainstays "of liberal jurisprudence such as affirmative action, neutrality, color blindness, role modeling, or the merit principle."
CRT would substitute "naming one's own reality" for rationalanalysis. It teaches that civil rights legislation was passed more for Cold War propaganda purposes than to alleviate racial discrimination, that only members of a minority have the authority and ability to speak about racism, that the racial neutrality of law is false, and that our system can't redress certain types of racial wrongs.It tears down without providing answers.
CRT writings advocate the view that separation and reparations should be a form of foreign aid for black nationalists.Some CRT writerseven say that being white is a form of property that whites alone possess, that the white skin of some Americans is like owning a piece of property making achieving the American Dream more likely than white.
CRTs call for equity doesnt sound threatening because it sounds like equality, but there is a huge difference.Equality of opportunity is very different from "equity." Equality of opportunity means that all have a chance to succeed.CRT equity means that everyone gets equal rewards.Note the Marxist tones.Equality to CRT theorists is mere nondiscrimination and provides cover for white supremacy, patriarchy and oppression. UCLA law professor and CRT theorist Cheryl Harris proposes suspending private property rights, seizing land and wealth and redistributing them along racial lines.
In a speech in Dallas in 1966, King said that separate was never equal and called for integration:Segregation is a cancer in the body politic which must be removed before our moral and democratic health can be realized. CRT theorists advocate a new segregation. At Rice University, students demand designated spaces just for Black groups, white peoplenot appreciated. According to the National Association of Scholars, scoresof colleges and universities allow similar segregated centers, spaces and programs. And forget free speech: if you disagree with the CRT program, it is proof of white fragility, unconscious bias, or internalized white supremacy. If you dissent, you must remain silent and accept your complicity in white supremacy.
King thought that liberalisms goal that race should not matter was the ultimate goal of society.Kendi says in his bookHow to Be an Antiracist: The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to prevent discrimination is future discrimination.
On occasion I would sit on the floor of Congress with John Lewis during votes and he would tell me what it was like to walk withKing.King was Lewis'hero.However, to CRT advocates, Kings color-blind constitutionalism is not just nave but "racist."King saw affirmative action as a means to a more inclusive, integrated nation.CRT criticizes even affirmative action as simply transitional assistance that gets in the way of permanent reparations and is thus racist, too.
CRT advocates ridicule equal opportunity that inspires much liberal political and economic thought.They say that there is no such thing and that merit is a racist construct to keep white peoplein control.Thus, students shouldnt see their academic grades penalized for disrupting class or turning in tardy work or not at all. Traditional measures of merit such as grades or test scores are racist, too, because they dont produce equitable outcomes.
Ultimately, CRT reinforces group stereotypes, shames meaningful dialogue, and worsens race relations.Judge Richard Posner of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals argues CRT turns its back on the Western tradition of rational inquiry, forswearing analysis for narrative and that by repudiating reasoned argumentation it reinforces stereotypes. Jeffrey Pyle in the Boston Law Review summarizes, Critical race theorists attack the very foundations of the liberal legal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law.
CRT has the opposite effect of achieving racial harmony. It leads us to worse race relations, not better.
