    No one wants that kind of parental input. But you already knew that.

    Clearly the millions of blacks who experienced and are still experiencing the effects of systemic racism for centuries would have a bone to pick with you.

    It seems perfectly in bounds to me.

    I doubt it. "Systemic racism" is a catch-all term to substitute for evidence.

    No, it doesnt say that. Word "black" doesn't appear anywhere.

    Because people in those countries will not put up with CRT nonsense.
    In fact there is no point even discuss CRT.
    CRT is just another attack do destroy the United States of America.
    Some kind of so called intellectual terrorism.

    It is like we would participate in lengthy discussion about technical details of the weapon (make and model etc) used to destroy a building.

    An abundance of evidence. And the study was on juvenile offenders what he quoted was not.

    No, there is no evidence based on surveys of juvenile offenders, asking them how often they engage in criminal offenses. There is an abundance of evidence if one looks at reports of crime, arrests and convictions for crime. .

    CRT is NOT about discrimination by one American citizen (or anybody) against another...

    So if that really is the "crux" of our disagreement, then you just invalidated your whole position.

    OK, then, if no one is believed to be being discriminated against today, then what's all the CRT bitching
    supposed to be about? Surely the radical Left has an "axe to grind" in all this bullshit somewhere....

    And after 70 pages of this thread, the ONLY attempt to show any such backfired on the poster who tried to present it.

    The ONLY evidence in this whole thread is in the OP.

    it's a theory based on the idea to look at all outcomes through the lenses of race. It's a shitty theory based not on any kind of sound reasoning or logic and removes all forms of personal accountability or responsibility and replaces them with the systemic racism boogey man.

    Example; "I stubbed my toe this morning. Coffee table leg was clearly racist."

    Really?

    ". . . Ibram X. Kendi, one of CRT’s leading advocates, openly declares: “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”. . . ."

    Like I said, his quotes were regarding the papers reporting of other studies based upon objective data from reports, arrests and convictions that all show a racial disparity in crime. The fact that surveys of juvenile defenders asking how frequently they criminally offend dont show the same disparity is irrelevant. His quotes werent in reference to juvenile offenders AND werent regarding self reported crimes.

    Its primarily about SYSTEMIC racism. For instance, 96% of whites have ID but only 94% of blacks do. So, any requirement of an ID is SYSTEMIC racism. Not racism by one person against another but the racism of ID requirements. It is absurd.

    Naturally. Cuz we all know it's better for students to be taught a sanitized version of history. And heck, what teacher doesn't want a bounty placed on them for explaining the effect 400 hundred years of discrimination has.

    And round and round we go. The evidence is everywhere in crime, employment, wealth, family stability. The alternative explanation being black's inherent inferiority.

    There several alternative explanations, all of which enjoy the benefit of factual basis. The Moynihan Report is a good place to start.

    Actually, I'm familiar with it. It does not provide the factual basis to support your position you claim it does. You no doubt found in the report a convenient rationalization for inequality, arguing that only racial self-help could produce the necessary changes in family structure. Sort of like demanding to know why a car can't measure up to others in speed as you metaphorically let the air out of its tires.
