00:03Critical race theory is this looking at the way that law has been a conduit for racial inequality.
00:14This is not about the substance of critical race theory, this is about branding.
00:31Conservatives need to wake up that this is an existential threat to the United States.
00:35It's a way of looking at race, it's a way of looking at why after so many decades, centuries
01:04actually, since the emancipation, we have patterns of inequality that are enduring.
01:09During the latter part of the 19th century, you could almost trace the economic conditions in various southern regions by the number of blacks reported lynched.
01:37There has to be some type of a racial lens that's used to analyze American history, US history, at least to some extent, or else nothing today makes sense.
02:07That is a horrible history, not remediable by plaintive pleas of mea culpa combined with the token appointment of members of the victim class who are least likely to remind the school of its past racist hiring record.
02:37The early 90s were this transition period, right, because that's when right-wing conservative radio really started to have this impact on the national discourse around race.
02:50The question is whether President Clinton wants to go through the big national debate as to whether this is the kind of person that's going to bring harmony between and among the races, or if this is not.
03:20They clearly lend themselves to interpretations that do not represent the views that I expressed on civil rights. I want to make it clear that that is not to say that I agree with all the attacks on her.
03:37I have always believed in democracy and nothing I have ever written is inconsistent with that.
03:52Barack Obama. Well, I've got videos, by the way. When he was at Harvard, he was advocating for the worst of the worst to join the faculty. Radicals.
04:06I remember engaging up and speaking the truth.
04:19What part of that was the bombshell?
04:22Derrick Bell is the Jeremiah Wright of academia. He developed a theory called critical race theory, which holds that the civil rights movement was a sham and that white supremacy is the order and it must be overthrown.
04:35So that is a complete misreading of critical race theory.
04:48Slavery gives contradiction to our entire creation story of the United States, and so we've tried to push it aside. What we're trying to do with this project is force us to confront the truth.
05:18The whole project is a lie. Certainly, if you're an African-American, slavery is at the center of what you see as the American experience. But for most Americans, most of the time, there were a lot of other things going on.
05:30It's a synonym for evil, oppression, supremacy. It's really ugly stuff. And it's absolutely a disgrace that it's something that is happening with taxpayer money to the tune of millions of dollars.
06:01Just because I do not want critical race theory taught to my children in school does not mean that I'm a racist.
06:12And every educator should be able to have in-depth conversations with their students about race issues in America because race will not go away.
06:21Critical race theory, the 1619 Project and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda.
06:51The 1776 Pledge, which says that we are founded fighting for freedom, not based on slavery.
06:58Millions of white Americans belong to the Klan. They were proud of it. And that hate became embedded systematically and systemically in our laws and our culture.
07:26We do ourselves no favors by pretending none of this ever happened or doesn't impact us today.
07:33Critical race theory just says, let's pay attention to what has happened in this country and how what has happened in this country is continuing to create differential outcomes so we can become that country that we say we are.
