    I am aware that the critics of CRT think it's not what it is about, in order to ban anti-racism idea's that flow out of the CRT.

    Putting it this way... people here often enough pretend to be all that. Hence when somebody claims I'm such and so, I just keep on referring it as "alleged" when they claim to speak out of some sense of authority / profession they claim to have.

    Uh no. None of them countries are heavily engaged in slave trade. They banned it by law. What you got is exploitation, crime and corruption. And the US / Americans are no stranger to it. When some American company like Amazon sells 12 white t-shirts for 17.56 (just googled it, might change) then does it actually sinks in that somebody picked the cotton for it, washed it etc etc to make them t-shirts? Amazon is even making a profit of it! That price includes the shipment to the US from where ever it came from. How much do you think is left for the person who picked the cotton? I think a child got small bowl of rice and a beating for it. And so America and Americans are just as much part of it.

    I think you're now deliberately not seeing the significance that you got the same amount of time to cover 1 country in 1 year vs "Africa, China and the middle east" in 1 year... which gets to be around 70 countries.

    It's applied science, while you prove a point about a social group like flat earthers.
    You can also shoot a laser over a fast distance. If you can shoot it through 3 tiny holes spread over fast distances, on the exact same height, it would prove the earth is flat. I saw flat earthers do that one, proving the world was indeed round. It was quiet funny.

    WHO Was That?
    Got any NAMES?
    I assume that you have a REAL Story?
    With 100% PROOF that a Bet was actually made and confirmed?
    Not some fabricated crap that is Complete BS?
    Just making stuff up to get a couple of "likes"?
    Got it...:bored:

    You MUST have a very specific person in mind.
    These so-called "LW posters" who are referred to.

    Since we are on the subject, and in the interest of Full Disclosure:
    I will admit that in 2016 that I did indeed ATTEMPT (the Operative Word being ATTEMPT) something like that.
    However, the thread was considered "Trolling" (and, it was Locked), so the "Bet" was actually NEVER Made (much less publicly confirmed).
    And, obviously, it is impossible to lose a bet that was NEVER made.
    So, once again, who (or what) exactly were you referring to?
    Or, just admit the post was BS.

    Anyway, back to the OP:
    I really don't think that the Dems. in Michigan are very worried.
    There are no U.S. Senate Seats up.
    And, Whitmer is certain to be Re-Elected.

    Is this your new BS line, claiming that conservatives are now pushing slavery didn't exist? Try to at least be objectively honest in a debate. I realize your spinning like a top to find an argument to support fiction to be taught as history, but your ridiculous assertions like the above are laughable and dishonest.

    I stand by that Prediction.
    2022 is NOT 2016.
    The Michigan GOP has a very thin bench.
    Make sure to Save this post in your copypasta file.
    You may need it in 2028.:bored:

    Yes, banning anti-racism ideas, that's the ticket.

    Sounds very logical to me. Why should we teach our children to despise our coutry. They should be taught to love the USA.

    We're not Dear Russia. If you refuse to learn from your history, your destined to repeat it.

    And Who should decide whats good and whats bad ?

    Why is our history slavery something we should sweep under the rug ?

    We've seen people pretending to be lawyers and surgeons here - nobody believes them. On the other hand no one EVER fakes being a teacher online, mostly because there is ZERO prestige to the job as far as the world is concerned. But yeah, I really am one - been one about thirty years now.

    But if you don't believe me, I'll live - it won't affect my paycheck. As long as my principal believes I'm a teacher, that's all that matters.

    Who decides? We live in a democracy. We can tell the story of slavery which makes White people the good guys. We are not Dear Russia , we are more Communist China during the Cultural Revolution.

    Loving ones country =/= Russia. Where the hell did you get such an idiotic idea?

    Good and bad what? If you're talking generally its pretty common knowledge that murdering someone is bad while helping a little ole' granny across the road is good. If you're talking about History then that is what Historians do. Leave it to them. Not idiots like the author of 1619 who interviewed several historians and then left parts out while only pushing those things that she wanted to push to fit her agenda.

    Who said we should sweep it under the rug? You keep making the claim that Republicans want to stop teaching slavery and "sweep it under the rug" but you have yet to point to a single one that actually wants that.

    Whitmer is anything but a sure bet to be re elected. It seems that an African American former police chief could be the next Governor there.

    I have seen the polling.
    His name is Craig.
    I am not buying it.
    It would be a SHOCKER if Whitmer Lost.
    I am sure that it will be a very expensive race with National implications and untold Millions of outside money.
    Gov. Whitmer holds a 48.6%-39.1% lead over James Craig, with 11.7% of voters remaining undecided. And Whitmer holds a nearly 15-point lead among Independent voters leading Craig 41.0%-26.2%.
    Whitmer’s 9.5% lead is a strong advantage that puts her just shy of the crucial 50% mark. At this point, James Craig is the strongest of the four Republican contenders tested in this survey due to higher name identification.
    Whitmer wins Black voters by a margin of 82.3%-7.6%, with 10.1% undecided. But among white voters, the two are statistically tied with Whitmer leading Craig 43.7%-43.4%.

    That it’s a mid term election and that Whitmer has lots of baggage with hypocrisy, leading an insurrection in her statehouse, and convalescent hospital covid deaths and fudging the numbers combined with a resolution of the GOP primary and the mentioned name recognition gains and the number will close to tossup by mid summer.

    You stood by your previous predictions too. That means nothing. Your predictions are often wrong. Nobody should put any weight in them, and if you had any sense, you'd stop making them because you're really, really bad at it.

    Really felt the need to get that personal?:smh:

    Why wasn't it possible to express those views without adopting such an abrasive and insulting tone?
    Having a bad day?
    Hopefully it gets better.
    Things must be difficut (in real life) when one feels the need to vent at random internet strangers.
    I hope things work out.

    Well, here is why I stand by my prediction.
    And please, pay close attention.
    Since the Updated Michigan Constitution was enacted in 1963, which lengthened the Governor's Term to 4 Years:
    Michigan has NEVER had a 1-Term Governor.

    ^I base my prediction on that Historical FACT, and also the because (regardless of what internet haters feed the greedy masses) Whitmer is very well-liked in Michigan.

    I guess we will find out together?
    But, by all means bookmark this post, so (when 2028 rolls around) you can tell me how wrong that I was in 2022.
    ___________

    And, just a word to the wise:
    Please ratchet back the venom, and try to refrain from the Personally-Insulting remarks (and the overuse of the pronoun "you").
    PF is an Adult Forum, not a K-Pop Boy Band Chat Room.
    Thx in advance.

    Almost word for word from the Marx handbook.

    Interesting thought, but today's more intelligent American marxists eschew greatly any attribution to Marx.

    This isn't about to get rid of slaver flag waving idea's around general Lee monuments. That would be anti-racism.
    This is about denying the past of what ethnicity got violently oppressed and exploited by who till 20 years after WWII.

    This thread is not about race baiting, it's about a parents' role in sex ed. Virtue signal somewhere else.

    Actually no. Atiracism training will increase animosity between the races. Whites resent it.
