All things Racist...USA edition (1 Viewer)

[Farb]

I was looking for a place to put this so we could discuss but didn't really find a place that worked so I created this thread so we can all place articles, experiences, videos and examples of racism in the USA.

This is one that happened this week. The lady even called and filed a complaint on the officer. This officer also chose to wear the body cam (apparently, LA doesn't require this yet). This exchange wasn't necessarily racist IMO until she started with the "mexican racist...you will never be white, like you want" garbage. That is when it turned racist IMO

All the murderer and other insults, I think are just a by product of CRT and ACAB rhetoric that is very common on the radical left and sadly is being brought to mainstream in this country.

Another point that I think is worth mentioning is she is a teacher and the sense of entitlement she feels is mind blowing.

They have to tie race into it otherwise it doesn't sound as bad.

No, it sounds plenty bad on it’s own to any person who doesn’t want to live in an autocracy.

 

[MT15]

Notice you did a lot of "I think" they are racist so therefore they are racist.

Note: I am going off of the local Moms for Liberty in my state that I know. I do not know these women so was trying to be fair. The ones in my state I have seen examples of their racism, so it follows that other chapters would be similar. This organization is being funded by some dark money, it’s not organic (IMO). Too many chapters with organizers that show up from out of state and it happened very quickly.

According to your definition of pro-censorship, everyone would be pro-censorship because everyone is against something.

Yes I am totally against CRT or CRT lite.

John McWhorter: "what alarms many parents and other observers is that kids will absorb the idea that it is enlightened to see white people as potential oppressors and Black people as perpetual victims of an inherently oppressive system. That it is therefore appropriate to ascribe certain traits to races, rather than individuals, and that education must “center” the battle against power differentials between groups and the subtle perceptions that they condition.

An implication some educators draw from these tenets is that various expectations of some of their students, based on what are generally thought to be ordinary mainstream assumptions, are instead onerous stipulations from an oppressive white-centric view. Hence an idea that it is white to be on time, arrive at precise answers and reason from A to B, rather than holistically, etc. Again, this is not what decades-old critical race theory scholarship proposed, but yes, the idea is descended from original C.R.T.’s fundamental propositions about white supremacy."

I don't understand how anyone can support that.

What alarms many parents is that the Reich Wing has told them to be afraid.

It is not my definition of censorship. And based on the definition of censorship, I'd say just about everyone is ok with the government banning something.

Good for you to find the black guy. The very first sentence of that quote tells me all I need to know, because that's not what CRT proposes. And frankly, CRT shouldn't even be some sort of high academic discussion; it seems very obvious to me that when a group of people is oppressed by another group or groups, whether it is because of race, sex, religion, etc. that the oppressed group will experience adverse societal, educational, and/or economic effects. Like, really, duh!

Of course, you have no issue with the government banning CRT, because you are against it... or maybe I missed your post in which you condemn State governments' censorship of CRT?

SFL will never admit to being a Republican Fundamentalist in Libertarian's clothing -- although its patently obvious to the rest of us.

On halloween? I find it acceptable to dress whatever you want to on Halloween. Why do you feel the need to shame someone for a costume of all things?

I have no doubt you attended a drag show for kids. On that drag show for kids. Why? Why was the event planned? What was the goal for the kids?

Any Halloween costume could be worn any day of the year and I'd just be someone wearing a costume on Tuesday. people would laugh or be spooked and carry on.
Wear a Hitler or Nazi costume and you would not get that same reaction.
In your opinion, if it's just a Halloween costume, would it be appropriate at Costume day at school or work?

 

[MT15]

Oh, maybe these guys were just going to a costume party,

You made a list. How special. Now support your claim that this organization allows children to see "grown men dressed as women gyrate on the floor for $1 bills and that backed by our public education system."



An event arranged by one teacher for an after-school club is not the same as being "backed by our public education system," especially since the district (you know, "the system") took immediate action when they were made aware.

What does 'in partnership' mean to you?
Read the 'special' list and you should be able to figure it out.

You should be able to explain it since you made the assertion.

 

[Farb]

Do you think dressing up as a klansman is ok? How about blackface?



The goal was for the kids to have a fun time and meet people that they normally wouldn't meet and experience a part of the culture that they normally wouldn't experience. And it was a success. Nobody gyrated for any reason and no money was stuffed anywhere.

I don't plan to run for office as a democrat so I can't say. I would suggest asking several left politicians about that out.

Can you say that about all the 'kid friendly' drag shows across the country?

 

[Farb]

You’ve never ever proved there was any government telling them what to censor. Never ever once

Why would she fight aiding in an investigation? Remember, the new rule in American is if you are innocent, you bend over backwards to talk to the those that have questions, you are innocent therefore have nothing to hide. Right?

Clever and orginial! I don't think I have ever seen the left use 'nazi' as an attempt to debate, but then again, this wasn't meant to add anything was it? This was just a drive by post so you can feel like you are a part of the conversation and label those that you disagree with as something other than human.

You have not gone out bar hopping much on Halloween have you lately? Most of the costumes worn on Halloween would not be appropriate at any school or work. Covering private areas on the human body is an accomplishment.

Or maybe they were anti-Semitic?

A Lancaster, Pennsylvania school is in hot water for allowing its LGBTQ club to stage a drag show on school property without parent’s permission.

Leaked photos and videos show several provocatively dressed drag queens flaunting across the school’s stage performing lewd dance moves in front of a group of minors.

What would you think of parents taking their 10 year old to a strip show?

I wasn't referring to the partnership. I was speaking directly to the part where you said children can see "grown men dressed as women gyrate on the floor for $1 bills and that backed by our public education system."

Can you show me where any child from any school on that list has been exposed to what you claim is happening and that it has happened because it was backed by our public education system?

Nah. Since you have yet to actually discuss virtually anything beyond blanket assertions it proved useful to point out that the fear-mongering by the religious right on this appears to conform very well with the restrictions and classifications used by the Nazis. Sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities.
