Slate: What's behind critical race theory opposition?

Bottom line: Snowflake white people are afraid of losing their superior status as people of color (POC) enter their communities. It's not like POC want to replace whites, their unfounded and paranoid fear; POC just want equal rights. You know, that's guaranteed under the Constitution. 

The same fear appears to be a significant motivation for the Jan. 6 insurrection, as "most people who participated in the riots came to D.C. from places where residents were terrified of being replaced by people of color and immigrants."

Unfortunately, media like Pox Views and Repugnacon demagogues reinforce that fear because they know it short-circuits rational thought and analysis, thereby making their followers much more easily manipulated to support their fascist agenda. It's a very sick but highly profitable business model. And one that's destroying our democracy for money and power.
