I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    CRT is something that is widely mischarcterized, especially in politics. It is principally an academic topic in sociology and law.

    In the simplest form, it looks at how historical treatment of groups based upon their race/ethnic background can have an impact on their descendents and how that can also impact society.

    For example, due to enslavement of their ancestors, a larger proportion of African Americans are impoverished than those of European descent. This has further impacts on how they are perceived in society and vice-versa.

    That’s literally the sort of thing that it is. Not assigning value to skin color but looking at how society historically has and its impacts.
