Critical race theory

[Maggot]

Blacks have the same rights as whites or any color for that matter everyone can be who they want to be.

Contrary to what the mother in the opening post says, Critical Race Theory isn't taught in K-12. It's a theory taught in Masters and Doctoral programs.

What I don't like about CRT is that they almost want the kids to think that because they are white they are racist and should feel guilty. I any kid needs feelings of feeling guilty I would like to know in this age of teenage suicidal tendencies how that could ever be a good thing.

Racism is really not bad in America but some factions of the media would have people believe that it's rampant. It really isn't as far as I can see.

What you fail to see is the perspective from another person's point of view. You personally have not encountered it so you say why is anyone making any kind of a big deal about it?
And then you go further to say kids should not be made to feel guilty-which I could agree to a point okay-but what about the kids that have endured injustice-what of them?
In one of the books I listed it talked about how anyone can be or have racist thoughts-it wasn't just directed at white people by the way.
Do I think everyone should be walking around feeling guilty? No, but I think people could be more aware of injustices that do exist-and I'm not talking about statues and books-I am talking about laws, rules, practices that keep people of color from having the same opportunities that a white person might have.
What is so difficult about that?

What opportunities do white people have that blacks dont? And what are these laws and rules you're talking about that keep them from having them?

You do tend to hire people you are comfortable with if you have a choice.

To answer Sally and Maggot's question or statement-the answer can be found in the book "The New Jim Crow"

I'm sure many employers discriminate, you have no control over what someone is secretly thinking in their mind, but I see black people working in all fields of employment just like whites.

Well I'm not gonna run out and buy the book anytime soon so you want to give me the cliff notes?

Don't take my word for it, maybe Ben and Jerry have something to say about systemic racism.

It wasn’t too long ago that a lot of people were talking about a post-racial AmericaOpens a new window. We had elected a Black president for the first time, and then went ahead and re-elected him four years later, and the country was feeling pretty good about itself.

While Barack Obama’s presidency was indeed a profound and meaningful mark of true progress, racism, of course, never really went away. The presence of a Black president, hockey starOpens a new window, or movie-franchise superheroOpens a new window, however welcome and exciting, cannot reverse centuries of racial injustice.

In fact, racism is built right into every level of our society in ways that might surprise you.

Gahurl, you all know crackers are salty!

What a crock of shit. Black pedestrians are more likely to be hit in crosswalks, really? And since when do they go to different hospitals, each town only has so many ERs, I wasn't aware of the secret ones with poor care made just for blacks. So stupid. And I guess all the black people who hold the same jobs as white people and are paid the same just got lucky. The black teller at the bank who makes the same pay as the white teller just got lucky.

[BigMark]

Duh, you can't see them.

[Maggot]

Some people are really s l o w crossing a street. I like to get across fast.

But the rest you agreed with right?

No those were just some of the sillier things I read. There were too many things to pick out of that nonsense.

[sally]

And why are white people so concerned about black people anyway? The black people I know go to school, work, vacations, buy homes and cars and live the everyday humdrum American life just like whites. We're worried about Aunt Jemima and Mr. Potato head offending someone meanwhile children are starving to death in other countries.

Ben and Jerry, that promote the late night TV hacks that pour gasoline on the national dumpster fire that is politics in America? Are you fucking kidding me???

Obama was Bush in blackface when it came to foreign policy, finance, and the national security state. I despise both of them, because they are globalist traitors.
