‘Black people can only blame themselves for their poor decisions,’ says YouTube star who went viral attacking Critical Race Theory
RT: A US school board meeting became an internet sensation when Ty Smith spoke out passionately against CRT. Now he tells RT why it’s time black people stopped blaming systemic racism from white people for their problems.The last election was the first time Ty Smith, aged 39, cast a vote, and he marked his ballot in favour of Donald Trump. Two years ago, the Illinois native had no interest in politics and by his own admission didn’t know what a Democrat or Republican was.
That what’s made the recent viral video of Ty so powerful and shocking. In it, he slammed the inclusion of Critical Race Theory – the idea that racist outcomes are the result of complex institutional dynamics – in children’s education, during a routine public school board meeting.
