Critical race theory

White fragility.

The most hilarious thing is the playing of victimhood by those who have not been victimized...

That's a profoundly ignorant assumption to make. Suffering is universal: an inherent aspect of life, that serves an important function.

"White fragility" is a stereotype, acceptable only because it is directed at whites. Try making racial generalizations against blacks or Jews and you'll immediately be labeled a racist, anti-Semite, or a neo-Nazi.

Double standards are one of the hallmarks of logical fallacy. Racial stereotypes are either wrong, or they aren't wrong. So, which is it? Present an argument that can be defended with logic. If you can't, I will. Fair enough?

I rarely use such terms in my posts.

Parents who generally are white are going nuts about true history being taught in schools. They are claiming that crt is "whites are bad, whites are racist" it isn't. Again I give you Tucker Carlson's refernce to becoming like Rwanda. Please.
That is why I say fragility.

When CRT is defended by claiming that those who push back against it are "white supremacists" -- which is done routinely by mainstream media and people like Kendi -- it only serves to reinforce defensiveness, and does nothing to help build trust.

CRT holds that the status quo is inherently racist, and it's proponents demand that everyone submit to what amounts to "reeducation", at the same time that racial strife is increasing exponentially. That's a strategy that has zero chance of leading to peaceful resolution.

As for history, like all of the social sciences, it is inherently subjective. I have read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. One of the things I appreciate about it is that it's presented as an alternative history, rather than a definitive history, because history is *not* an exact science. There is no such thing as "true history", any more than there is a "true" science. It just doesn't work that way. I would also say that Zinn was by and large correct in his presentation. I would highly recommend it if you haven't read it.
