How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory

Pervades by donkey. Outside of "affirmative action" and "critical race theory" and Gentry class, there is little in the way of institutional racism.

Ended up with a well deserved face of egg.

Confront your prejudice, read Murray’s book.

 

They lump in the dark people with Latinos. Latinos never spent a day being a slave in the South.

 

Latinos are getting more and more unimpressed: "THE POLITICAL CLASS DOESN’T KNOW MANY ACTUAL VOTERS": VIDEO: Dems, Journos Keep Saying ‘Latinx’ Even Though Most Latinos Have No Idea What It Means.

“The term is popular among woke activists, but just 4 percent of Latino Americans prefer it.”

‘Lying Fake News FACT CHECKER’ EXPOSED: WashPost’s Latest Rufo Hit Piece Explodes on Crap Pile Glenn Kessler!

John Sexton "aptly summarized the exposed modus operandi of Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler, and how he can be caught going after conservatives based on faulty assumptions."

Krap Turd Kessler wrote:

Notice all the leading language and faulty assumptions. "He was so enamored of this theory that he requested “please don’t tweet or mention this until after I publish." But Borysenko turned out to be tremendously uncooperative. She tweeted out a copy of his request:"

"Kessler expressed disappointment she exposed his email! He also claimed he never suggested the anonymous tipster didn’t exist...as if no one can comprehend his theorizing that Rufo "has been falsely claiming he has an anonymous tipster helping him."

Rufo's claim was accurate, Krap Bag Kessler faulty assumptions were wrong. In response she tweeted again the Krap Turd Kessler:

Rufo then flushed Krap Turd Kessler:

I thought you were going to give me examples of conspiracy theories.

 

This is what being on the wrong side of history looks like.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s state Board of Education banned “critical race theory” from public school classrooms Thursday, adopting new rules it said would shield schoolchildren from curricula that could “distort historical events.”

Florida’s move was widely expected as a national debate intensifies about how race should be used as a lens in classrooms to examine the country’s tumultuous history.

Sally Mae doesn't want to be offended by learning about the horrific, inhumane things done to enslaved blacks, and those blacks who were not enslaved, and by god DeSantis is going to ensure she doesn't have to. That way she can view the enormous wealth gap between blacks and whites as being the fault of inferior blacks........just the way you want it to be.

 

Good thing DeSantis isn't prohibiting teaching what happened to enslaved black people. You can rest easy, Lee.

 

All your straw man arguments and red herrings cannot change the pernicious nature of CRT, nor mitigate its push against the American colorblind ideal. American history is the story of working toward that ideal; CRT pushes against that history.

 

American history is the story of being dragged towards equal treatment of blacks while kicking and screaming. You really need to stop hiding behind fallacies associated with MLK.

Martin Luther King Jr. Did Not Dream About Banning Critical Race Theory

In books like “Where Do We Go From Here?: Chaos or Community” or “Why We Can’t Wait,” King was clear on the persistence of systemic racism through law and unjust order. If critics of CRT want to ground their criticism in good faith, MLK is not someone who lends credibility to their argument. Misappropriating the Civil Rights icon reveals a great deal of dangerous cynicism.

Far from the colorblind conservative Christian that exists in the memories of the Right, King wrote “With all her dazzling achievements and stupendous material strides, America has maintained its strange ambivalence on the question of racial justice.” He discussed how the same people lambasting “handouts” to African Americans were provided an economic safety net and subsidized into the middle class. Sen. McCarthy said that the “The Left is trying to take America backward.” Conversely, King said “The step backward has a new name today. It is called ‘white backlash’.”

Of course it subverts the mission. You force people to do anything they get resentful. You may feel ashamed of the past and the present, but most White people don't.

 

One person's education is another person's brainwashing.

 

No matter how hard you try, you can't get away from MLK's allegiance to the American colorblind ideal that CRT aims to discredit: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
No, Critical Race Theory Isn’t a New Civil Rights Movement. (Just the Opposite)
Published by Kenny Xu and Christian Watson
". . . King was assassinated in 1968. But some of his contemporaries lived long enough to see the way that his ideas were mangled. The Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker (1928-201, a leading civil rights activist, and one of King’s closest confidants, spoke out against Critical Race Theory in 2015, years before CRT went mainstream in schools and bestselling books. “Today, too many ‘remedies’—such as Critical Race Theory, the increasingly fashionable post-Marxist/postmodernist approach that analyzes society as institutional group power structures rather than on a spiritual or one-to-one human level—are taking us in the wrong direction,” he wrote in a co-authored article. “[These ideas] separat[e] even elementary school children into explicit racial groups, and emphasizing differences instead of similarities.”. . . "

 

Whether you feel ashamed of the brutal subjugation of blacks brought to America and their subsequent systemic mistreatment it is nonetheless shameful.

 

No matter how hard you try, you can't get away from MLK's recognition that systemic racism had to be remedied before strides towards a colorblind society could be achieved. CRT seeks to examine the sources and remnants of systemic racism.

 

Here is a contradiction only a leftist can muster: you ae actually proud of your shame.

 

Sorry, but "systemic racism" is just a catch-all phrase to prop up weak litigation claims. MLK understood that equality is a goal to be achieved one individual at a time. Is that a struggle? Yes. But divisive categorizations don't get you there, and they make it harder for America to achieve its ideal.
“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” --Chief Justice John Roberts

 

So where are we then? Answer me that!

 

Sure, that should work at least as well as 'just say no.'

 

It is the way we have made progress thus far on the long, hard journey to achieve the American ideal. I, for one, am opposed to letting those with weak faith and insufficient commitment take us backwards.

 

At loggerheads.

 

We seem to have stalled on that long, hard journey, thus the development of critical legal studies and when that proved insufficient, CRT emerged and has long been a tool of civil rights attorneys (there is a clue as to why it is relevant). I don't know how what made it to the classroom relates, but if it is from that then good. If you would give a close read on both CLS and CRT it might affect your thinking. I know it did mine, and it did not happen overnight. It does, however, enable me to say that you are in fundamental error.

 

And your solution would be?

 

Color blind is a buzz word of the right. No one is color blind to race. Race is part of who people are. You can't just ignore it. What you can do is not let it treat people unfairly. This country has done that and continues to do that. There is data to back that up. Income disparities, wealth disparities, opportunity disparities, they all exist and have been easily proven.

The argument that this country WASN'T set up for whites to succeed is silly. White people set it up. There was ZERO representation of black people in the founding of this country and black people had ZERO say until 1865. And even after that, they had FAR LESS say than the average white person. To deny any of that is insanity at its finest.

Working towards an ideal is great, but slowing progress while hiding behind so called ideals is wrong.

 

How can anyone be color blind? That's silly. Ignoring race isn't the answer. It's a way to cover up the problem so it doesn't get addressed.

 

It's easy to be color blind. How can it not be? You look at the character and qualities of a person and not skin color. It's easy, unless you're a Democrat politician. Then skin color is a major political factor to pander to.
