Abstrakt: The BIG BAD CRT is NOT so BIG and BAD inasmuch as white emotionalities are. This fixation on one's fear or hatred for CRT is only but a surface leveled expression of deeper issues of one's core sense of self. Meaning, these individuals are so insecure about their own identity that they huff and puff when hearing that other people are very secure, even proud, of their identities. For example, their identity has been so sadly intertwined with delusions of whiteness such that any discussion of multiculturalism leaves them feeling abandoned. To be clear, the thought of divorcing from the delusional marriage between whiteness and identity is the real fear. Essentially, who am I if I cannot be white? Alas, anti-CRTers must, like in the Christian sense, have a come to Jesus moment whereby they deeply investigate why they so fear new paths, new identities, new histories, and new people. Unless they do that, they will, as sheep do, irrationally follow a path that takes them farther away from humanity and closer to a life of eternal fear (Matias, 2022, p. 5). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
