Newsmax Pundit Absurdly Claims Critical Race Theory Will Lead Boys To Act On 'Oedipal' Fantasies

Newsmax Pundit Absurdly Claims Critical Race Theory Will Lead Boys To Act On 'Oedipal' Fantasies
Newsmax

Dick Morris has reached New heights of absurdity with a recent claim that Critical Race Theory would lead multiracial children to act on "Oedipal" fantasies.

During an appearance on Newsmax, Morris launched into a tirade against Critical Race Theory. His ludicrous, Freudian assertion that teaching people about systemic racism would somehow make them act on any Oedipal feelings they have is possibly the most bizarre criticism of Critical Race Theory so far.


"What does this do to the children? What does this do to a kid? A quarter of all Black marriages are intermarriage, racially. So what does that do to a Black boy whose mother is Black and his father is white? What does he think? 'My father exploited my mother and that's how he got successful?'"

Next, it got even more bizarre.

"Does this reinforce the Oedipal notion that all kids have wanting to kill their father and marry their mother?"

You can view a clip of Morris' tirade against Critical Race Theory below:

Twitter users didn't hold back in their mockery of Morris' statements.









While this particular claim seems to have come out of nowhere, conservatives have been panicking about Critical Race Theory for a while.

Morris may well be the first one to bring Freud into the conversation though.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
