What does Critical Race Theory teach?

It is telling that they hate on the people who say "All Lives Matter', and not those who say "Black Lives Don't Matter".... because the latter are so rare.

 

Yikes!

 

So.......a lengthy opinion.

 

He's credible in a way that others are not, and his view echoes that of MLK's close collaborator Wyatt Walker.

 

I still don't understand why anyone thinks it matters what MLK thought or believed, aside from what he got right. Just because be thought something doesn't make it right or even worth considering, so either way it doesn't matter.

 

The question arises because it is a central proposition of CRT advocates that CRT is a natural extension of MLK's work. CRT is, in fact, the negation of MLK's vision. This article explains it well.

No! I claim (implicitly) that ALL the links together support my assertion. And if they don't, you argue that. But, instead of making ANY argument, you called me a liar.

Retract!

 

I have made the facts plain, and the matter is closed.

 

I couldn't care less about the fact that you have no arguments. But you called me a liar. And you have refused to quote the lie. That will not stand. You need to RETRACT!

 

I have quoted the facts numerous times. The matter is closed and I will not indulge you with further replies on this topic.

 

You claimed I lied. I want you to quote THE LIE!

Do it here, or retract!

 

He was opposed to discrimination on the basis race in the law and he was "right" because thats what our Constitution requires.

 

OUR GARBAGE INSTITUTIONS:

​

"We’re not lowering our standards. We’re just changing the definition of math for people who can’t do it."

Oh! Glad that got cleared up!

 

Yeah, when they claim ANY racial disparity that disfavors blacks is systemic racism they do mean ANY. Even math tests, made up of nothing but numerical equations, is systemic racism according to CRT because blacks dont do as well. Read Kendi arguing that a reduction in the capital gains tax rate would be systemic racism because blacks are less likely to have capital assets that produce a gain.

 

Exactly.

They argue that evidence for one proposition, disparity, is evidence for a different proposition, racism, that doesn't necessarily entail the first.

For example:
i) A circle has no corners.
therefore
ii) Evidence that a shape is a circle is evidence that the shape has no corners.

On the other hand:
i) evidence of disparity of math scores is not necessarily evidence that math is racist because there are other possible causes that explain the evidence, for example:
ii) Less effort put forward by the student.
iii) Poor skills by the instructor.
iv) A worldview in one group that values math less than another group.
and on and on and on.

The proponent who is claiming evidence for "racism", but, rather than providing direct evidence of racism wants to argue disparity = racism (and then only provide evidence of disparity) has the duty to eliminate every other possible cause. Their claim is defeated by any possible cause that they have not provided a solid case for eliminating. They've done none of the actual work, and in its place substitute slander, name-calling, social pressure and now even kinetic lawlessness; looting, burning, assaults and murder.

To step back further for greater perspective, what does it say about our society that they are forced to adopt this approach of indirect proof rather than direct proof of systemic racism? It may show the opposite of what they claim, for if there was sufficient direct evidence of systemic racism, they would simply show that, but, this great indirect effort is a strong argument that the actual evidence for what they want to show does NOT exist, precisely because of the hard work we have done and continueto do.

 

They make as much since as claiming that the racial disparity between whites and asians in criminal statistics is due to systemic racism that favors asians over whites. Or that the sex disparity in crime statistics is due to systemic sexism. Its absurd.

 

Just found this video which is nearly a year old, it's amazing:

 

Should we replace everyone on every school board with members of the woke Left:

Andrews: Critical Race Theory and the Rise of the 2nd-String Left
If a recent Scientific American opinion piece purporting to explain how growing opposition to critical race theory damages public education reveals anything, it is that the real problem with today’s left goes much deeper than its progressive ideology. The co-authors assert that resistance to CRT is based on white supremacy, a refusal to acknowledge history, a rebirth of ‘50s-style anti-communism, and the conservative desire to harden racial divisions. These stunning inaccuracies raise questions not just about the validity of their argument but the competence of the supposed experts making it. . . .

 

Their buckets of BS are understandable when we realize what critical theory is.


"Max Horkheimer first defined critical theory (German: Kritische Theorie) in his 1937 essay "Traditional and Critical Theory", as a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only toward understanding or explaining it. Wanting to distinguish critical theory as a radical, emancipatory form of Marxist philosophy,"

 

Repubs are working this culture war issue for every inch of outrage they can induce from their triggered base.

DeSantis targets critical race theory with bill that evokes Texas abortion bounties

TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday escalated his ongoing crusade against "wokeness" and "elites" by pushing a bill that would allow parents to sue school districts if they teach "critical race theory" in classrooms.

The state's Republican governor — who gained a national following amid his battles over Covid restrictions — also wants the GOP-controlled Legislature to help employees at private corporations that are subjected to what he called "harassment" by being forced to undergo sensitivity and racial awareness training.

Just like "defund the police," CRT is a gift from Dems to Repubs that just keeps on giving.

 

CRT is in the classrooms. The evidence is incontrovertible.
Dems Pushing CRT in Schools? Here's the Evidence

John Murawski, RCInvestigations

". . . These denials, which have been amplified by many news organizations, are at odds with overwhelming evidence – documented by class lessons, school curricula, focus groups, teacher surveys and public statements by educators – that CRT is not only taught in class, but is also heavily promoted by the K-12 education establishment.

Some high schools are already teaching lessons and units on CRT, where students write papers demonstrating their facility with applying the theory, while other schools are introducing CRT concepts, such as systemic racism, white privilege, microaggressions, implicit bias and intersectionality. . . . "

 

Kendi is a racist, a separatist, a con artist, and well on his way to being a millionaire based on CRT book sales to the K-12 school system.

It appears a number of these "equity" jobs are nothing more than gentry featherbedding:

Another California education executive to be discovered by Politico living out of state tendered her resignation … from Dallas. The last one, the "Superintendent of Equity" had a no show, $160k/yr CA education job, while living in PA, and continuing to be fully employed in the job he held before he nailed this additional gig.

Same deal here, only this one lives in Dallas, you know, Dallas, TX where CA state employees aren't even supposed to visit.

And now another one in as many days, also knocking down $160k/yr in a Hunter like no show job for which she has no apparent experience in.

An "Equity Project Manager" ehhh?
