Oh, okay. I only mentioned the Democrats because you said she's moved them back decades. I agree that the messaging about what CRT is, is often nothing to do with CRT itself, though CRT is also a pretty slippery thing to define in a way that represents the ideas within it.

But I'm not sure I agree about which is the chicken and which is the egg. Not saying you're wrong, just saying I'm not sure.

"Whiteness studies" which is where DiAngelo gets most of her ideas, predates her and is a mixture of a bunch of different ideas. And while arguably she's the most prominent face of it, she's by no means the originator. As far as the term "equity" is concerned, I'd say that my other least favourite grifter, Ibram X Kendi, is far more guilty of tainting that word.
