I agree with your approach but I would like to suggest this sentence "When someone says diversity is our strength, you say no; it is competence and unity that are our strengths." is good but depending on who one is speaking with we might ask "What is it that makes diversity our strength?". Since there is no legitimate answer the response will be emotional drivel. That can be used as justification for rejecting the delusion they are pushing.
Excellent article, Mr. Thompson - finely tuned and right to the point.
I've covered some of this territory in my book, "A White Man's Perspectives on Race and Racism". If you'd ever be interested in reading it, send me your email to ZepharethLedbetter@gmail.com and I'll set up a free Google Drive share (it's also available cheap for purchase at smashwords.com/books/view/1184004, in case anyone else is interested).
At least classical Marxism unified divergent people against the 'oppressor.' Frederick Douglas wrote that while the Black man had one master, the working white man had a collective master. Such conclusions must have been influenced by witnessing the suffering of the poor workers in England (where Marx lived) and the knowledge that cannibalism erupted in Ireland, in which exports continued during the famine. CRT is just an intellectual grift to siphon off money from the middle and lower classes.

Thanks Ed so smooth & enlightened & a real deep breath of fresh air.
