So I'm going to push back on a couple of the points you've made, although not in quite the same way other people (reading this article) might:

-- I don't think white privilege, in and of itself, is necessarily polarizing; if presented in a logical manner, it can actually make a lot of sense to those who are willing to be critical thinkers

-- I patently reject the supposition that any one group has life (as a whole) "easier" or "harder" than any other group. Certain AREAS OF life? Of course. But not "life in general." Quantifying how "easy" or "hard" one group has "life" vis-a-vis any other group simply flies in the face of intersectional nuance

Now, all of that being said: I definitely 100% agree with you that CRT shouldn't be turned into some reductionist, binary festival of guilt and shame that pits people against one another due to our differing attributes per se.

So your core point that you seem to make in this article, I actually agree with -- Critical Race Theory can be a very valuable learning tool, but NOT WHEN it's abused by individuals who are trying to use it as a vehicle to push a nefarious agenda. Is that the overarching point you were trying to make?
