This nation's "racism" problem was a non-issue, until Barry Sotero took office.
I was active duty USAF for 20+ years, and racism was NEVER a topic of conversation... until 2009.
Unit commanders and Senior NCOs that didn't tow the party line... purged. The last office that I worked in, before I retired... we called it "The Island of Misfit Toys"... There were 7 SNCOs assigned to the office, and every damned one of us were retiring. We did "busywork" and surfed the internet all day. We were all veteran flight-line guys on numerous airframes... crew chiefs, specialists and weapons guys with decades of experience. We all "punched-out" at the same time.
Why?
Because of crap like this. Because of "wokeness" and "political correctness".
The mission of the United States Air Force, as explained to me 30 years ago... was to kill people, and blow up their stuff. That is what a military does... or did, in our case.
The military used to be the most racially fair part of our society. There was no color, only rank. Not anymore... thanks to the liberal left.
CRT has been around for longer than most think...

A guy named Karl Marx said that to start the transition from Capitalism to Communism, you needed to have the populace believe in a Critical Theory that would divide the population and destroy the middle class, resulting in an upper and lower class that would provide the impetus for the upper class to use the lower class for the revolution.
You only need to find what Critical Theory that the current population would be divided by and apply it.
So now we have the Critical Race Theory.
It's probably just a coincidence.

I just wish they would stop calling it CRT. I'm old. I see that and I think Cathode Ray Tube. I can't be the only one.

Cathode Ray Tube - What they started to call televisions after the home computer became a thing. After awhile they became monitors when TVs became flat screens. I'm not sure if any modern tech uses CRTs, everything seems to be touch screens now.
