All things Racist...USA edition (3 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.

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.

Should the Jim Crow era be covered in history classes?

Should the Jim Crow era be covered in history classes?

I don't know that it should be covered, but I wouldn't object to it if it was. I did exist, after all.

It's clear from your statement that you wouldn't object to that part being left out either.

What others parts of our history would you be ok with leaving out?

I said I don't know that it SHOULD be covered. What SHOULD be covered is major events like the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. WHY did we fight those wars, and HOW did they end? Things like that.

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

There was slavery and it was bad and Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves

There was racism and it was bad and Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks ended racism (with a little LBJ thrown in)

In February we added Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman and George Washington Carver

I grew up in liberal Montgomery County in usually blue Maryland and didn't learn much more than this

This was in the 80s and 90s but it sure doesn't seem that things are much different

I posted this a few months ago and this what people who say "why can't we go back to how it used to be taught" mean

Lincoln, MLK, Rosa Parks. The end. Thanks for playing

You don't think that the Jim Crow Era is a major thing? It was a direct result of the Civil War, after all.

It wouldn't hurt to talk about it. I see no problem with talking about it.

Educate your own self.

Critical race theory is not taught in public schools and the Manhattan Institute is a lousy source.

Is racism discussed in public schools? Undoubtedly.

Are conservative, white, snowflakes afraid of the actual history of the country? You betcha. They cower in fear.

The problem is that their concept of CRT is fluid and they just evolve it to include anything that they don't like.

No, you are the one who needs to get educated.

If you don't like that source then find a stronger one that proves it wrong, as your opinion isn't worth shirt.

Really? Talk about what's being discussed and what conservative whites are cowering from.

It isn’t about stronger. It is about bias. The Manhattan Institute believes in fairy tales.

The discussion of racism is what you cower from. Primary example: Governor DeathSantis in Florida. Oh, the same applies to fear of gays with Governor DeathSantis. If conservatives cannot handle reality then they have no business being in government. Of course, they want to destroy government so there is that.

Then you should have zero problem finding a reliable source to disprove that article.

Governor DeathSantis? Who is that? I've never heard of him.

From your article:

"Motivated by the work of Manhattan Institute senior fellow and City Journal contributing editor Christopher F. Rufo"

Rufo has admitted that he conflates non-CRT with CRT to drive resentment. He's exploiting people like you.

Cute. You don't get to use pejoratives to describe Biden and every other Democrat in the country, then play dumb at an obvious nickname for Ron DeSantis.

Then we'd better get to what CRT really is, and fast.

So in a nutshell, what is CRT and what is its message?

You're right; I should tone that stuff down, and I will.

This has already been shown to you and you have barely engaged with it. Rufo is right there, in his own words, saying that everything he calls CRT is not, in fact, CRT. Here's another source where he says it again.

"As Rufo eventually came to see it, conservatives engaged in the culture war had been fighting against the same progressive racial ideology since late in the Obama years, without ever being able to describe it effectively. “We’ve needed new language for these issues,” Rufo told me, when I first wrote to him, late in May. “ ‘Political correctness’ is a dated term and, more importantly, doesn’t apply anymore. It’s not that elites are enforcing a set of manners and cultural limits, they’re seeking to reengineer the foundation of human psychology and social institutions through the new politics of race, It’s much more invasive than mere ‘correctness,’ which is a mechanism of social control, but not the heart of what’s happening. The other frames are wrong, too: ‘cancel culture’ is a vacuous term and doesn’t translate into a political program; ‘woke’ is a good epithet, but it’s too broad, too terminal, too easily brushed aside. ‘Critical race theory’ is the perfect villain,” Rufo wrote."

How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory

To Christopher Rufo, a term for a school of legal scholarship looked like the perfect weapon.

Because it appears Rufo believes that CRT ties in with things like radical leftism and he's driving that perception.

I'm taking a more direct approach, so once again, in a nutshell, what is CRT and what is its message?
