All things Racist...USA edition (2 Viewers)

[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.

...........“Alexa,” I asked the device, “What are African-American Girls?” My question was modeled after Professor Safiya Nobel’s search for “Black Girls” on Google, which turned up pornography in its top results.

I don’t know what I expected to hear from Alexa, but it certainly wasn’t the answer I got. “According to Georgetown.edu,” it replied, “African American girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system.”

After repeating the question to make sure I heard it correctly, I asked, “What are African American boys?” Given its characterization of African American girls, I should have been prepared for what came next—but I wasn’t.

“According to Edweek.org,” Alexa answered, “The majority of the boys are African American, and many are struggling readers/learners.” Replete with sources to give credence to its assertions, Alexa just informed me that African American kids are either “bad” or have trouble learning.

For a Black child, these answers are devastating on a deeply personal level. For other kids, they could plant seeds of, or perpetuate, harmful stereotypes that feed racism. These responses would be terrible enough in technology aimed at adults.

But it’s even worse when aimed directly at children by a company claiming it can help with homework.

And it’s not a stretch to imagine that kids today are turning to tech for all sorts of information on complex topics like race, gender, sexuality, religion, and more.

To make matters worse, there’s a possibility, if not a likelihood, that a child would be alone when asking Alexa questions similar to the ones I asked. Caregivers might never hear of the exchange.

And, while Amazon does offer parents after-the-fact access to children’s conversations with Alexa, it’s unlikely that many parents have the time to check consistently...........

How AI-Powered Tech Can Harm Children

The rise of the EdTech industry has shown the biased, and even harmful, impact of AI-powered devices on today's youth.

CRT is NOT taught in public schools.

"Cultural Radicalism" is.

If talking about the existence of systemic racism is part of CRT, then CRT should be mandatory in our schools.

If talking about the fact that the US is built on stolen land is CRT, then CRT should be mandatory in our schools.

Things that we call "history" are now being labeled CRT.

I thought conservatives didn't want to erase history?

No it shouldn't. The Golden Rule is what should be mandatory. It covers ALL types of prejudices and bigotry, not just racism.

So we should replace history with classes on the golden rule?

So CRT is also history? Has CRT made its way into our public school systems after all? Can you be one of the few libs who finally admit this?

Treat people the way you want to be treated

Do you feel that the fact that not all people were or are treated well shouldn't be taught

Apparently exceptions do come up, as some A holes think that mistreating others is a good thing, so expanded discussions over stuff like that would be needed.

You can't teach american history without talking about us taking land away from Native Americans or the oppression of black people.

What more needs to be said than we fought to build and expand our nation and that we once had slaves?

 

[coldseat]

A lot more. Just admit you don't want history thought to our youth because you don't want them to critically think about the effects our history is having on our society today. You want them to be ignorant.

 

[Peace]

A lot more.

That doesn't tell me shirt.

Get into some specifics.

I guess we should say: There was a Revolution and a new country was founded. After that, everything was fine.

Is that how you think history should be taught?

[coldseat]

I mean, you really expect me to go through all of American History and pick out the parts that should be taught in schools and which parts we need to omit? I'm not for that, that's your gig. You say which parts of our American history we shouldn't teach to our kids or lie to them about so that they won't feel bad.

I say teach all of it honestly, including the systemic racism that has occurred throughout our history.

 

[Peace]

I mean, you really expect me to go through all of American History

Where did I say all?

I asked for a little specificity and that's it.

Hit me with an example or two that swims around in that troubled mind of yours.

If you're only talking about systemic racism, here are a few subjects that should be covered in high school history classes. Systemic racism in the creation of the Interstate transportation system and the destruction of poor/black neighborhoods. Systemic racism in policing and the justice system. System racism in red zoning by the federal government and lenders.
