    They were journeymen who were promoted to masters.

    Journeymen produce something of master quality and the masters say "yes this is of master quality".

    Oh yes the common refrain the man is keeping you down!!!


    I saw no one ever went to school on their own, got their own certifications and used their own money to start their own business.

    You know one thing people like that have in common? Instead of making excuses for why they can't do something they found reasons for how and why they could and would and did.

    Defeatist attitudes arer a dime a dozen

    CRT is the Reactionary’s replacement for Sharia Law: it defines an “other”, a “them”, an “enemy” to fight. A tactic rolled out by our manipulation machine.

    We’re so inundated in our tabloid culture that getting past it to discuss anything is difficult.

    By the way IMO our Party’s are representative of us rather than distinct from us. They unfortunately manipulate whatever that already exists to maintain. I do agree with the notion if we only rid ourselves of the political Party’s (the American people) we’d be fine:)

    We’re the source of our problems until we decide not to be: manipulative BS only works if we let it. Each class—as diverse as they are—in this country has a lot in common. As much as we rail against looking at ourselves in that manner it might be the road out of this mess.

    You never saw anyone... in a feudal economy go through the guild system? I mean that is to be expected but I'm glad you have confirmed you are not a time traveler. I was planning on asking you for winning lottery tickets if you were.

    I'm just not the sort to make excuses about things.

    I see the things that people do not what they can't do.

    CRT promotes tribalism. Tribalism is segregation which will eventually lead to a conflict. The effects are already becoming apparent - the great migration. The ideological split is turning into a geographic split, with all of the resulting consequences.
    Instead of teaching kids to see race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation in everything, they should instead be taught to ignore these things. As a parent, I assure you - kids never notice race until adults start pointing it out. Allow kids to grow up racially blind, as Mother Nature clearly intends as can be seen by a simple observation, and you will never have problems with racism.

    The work left is an anachronism. They are what they fight against.

    Some just want the power, **** the problems.

    Truth to tell the US Senate is looking more and more like they want to help Trump overthrow the country and then have him make them a new nobility. I don't think it's going to succeed because the Army isn't going to go along but it seems quite a few of them are off the deep end here, especially those who think Trump is God.

    No, the poster singled me out and then gave me a to do list. The poster did nothing to move toward healing division.
    I have alway believed if division is a serious problem (and it is) people on both sides need to be willing to work to end it.
    What are you willing to do to take a step towards narrowing the division?

    LOL! A poster with the chosen screen name "Libhater" whines about divisiveness. You can't make this up.

    On topic: I saw a commercial for a local GOP House candidate on TV, where he all talks about the "woke" left and how you better vote for him, so the woke liberals don't get their way to change your way of life. Seems like the GOP mini Trumps are busy exploiting divisiveness for their own political gain.

    As to Biden, there is NOTHING that he could do to not be hated by the Trumpers. He could finish Trump's great wall, and they would still hate him and chant "let's go Brandon".

    A poster with the name 'NERD' has the nerve or nerd to claim I'm whining about anything, with the truth being I posted this particular message so as to expose and hopefully get anyone who is concerned with the destructive state of our culture as being something worthy of intelligent debate, and or exercising a worthy solution. And my middle name 'Libhater' reinforces the fact that I despise or hate current day liberalism that is responsible for every single destructive cultural issue mentioned in the OP and beyond.

    Actually some of what you post wasn't the truth it was your opinion. Perhaps since you don't want to deal with the divide by not calling others names and dealing with issues you would rather approach this by dealing with what we can agree on as truth and compromise from there.

    Actually, everything I posted there was the truth. I do want to deal with biden's 1-year divide of Americans. Now if you can deal with all of biden's divisive issues, and the left's divisive issues like CRT (including biden's latest speech comparing we on the right with Bull Conner, Jim Crow etc.--then perhaps we can get to the point where we could accept the truth as it is, then go on to to seek solutions. Remember how biden said he would unite Americans? How's that working out for him these days?

    Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul fought communism on moral grounds. It was a fight for freedom and fairness.

    We all should fight wokeness by showing it is immoral.

    Wokeism judges people by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character.

    Wokeism believes people today should be held responsible for what other people did in the past.

    Wokeism robs people of their individuality, forcing them into groups.

    Wokeism doesn't believe in individual rights, only group rights.

    Wokeism rejects equal protection under the law in favor of discrimination based on skin color.

    Wokeism rejects basic freedom of speech in favor of censorship and fear of the mob.

    Wokeism rejects education in favor of indoctrination.

    Wokeism rejects the notion of truth.

    Wokeism doesn't believe that hard work and merit should be rewarded.

    Wokeism divides us along racial and other lines rather than unifying us around a common American identity.

    Well, my screen name is self-depracating, yours is hateful and divisive. Just saying, if you want people to be less divisive, then start with yourself. Maybe, if your posts would be less hateful and divisive, you could actually make baby steps to change the political climate. Of course, you probably think it is always someone else's (i.e. the woke left's) fault.

    There was labor unrest ("class consciousness") before Marx.
    People increasingly don't like bigots who discriminate against people on the basis of gender, race and ethnicity. You get your knickers in a knot over "woke" types when all you need to do is separate yourself from bigots.
    Ah, you stoop to promoting the "Big Lie" that CRT is being taught in public schools. :puke::puke:
    Absurd. No one is inherently racist. Some people need to get their head straightened out.
    This is another idiotic claim. I taught mathematics to high school students and your claim is propaganda slandering STEM teachers we have a difficult enough time attracting because of low salaries. Who the hell wants to be a target of lies?
    You mean because poor people, often racial and ethnic minorities, have less access to vaccines?
    CRT isn't being "taught" (researched) anywhere outside of academia.
    Obviously, you have no clue about CRT.
    How about at last a one example? You can spread lies as you see fit.
