Let's be honest if George Floyd never happened would we even know the term CRT right now? Of course not. CRT is the right's way of hijacking the conversation in their favor. It's so painfully obvious.

Its deflection. Or in simple terms “i know you are but what am i”. Lets turn CRT which is meant to cure racism into the racism by putting our own spin on it.

[QUOTE=Chico23231;1285406]Yup a scholar who has studied it, exposing the ugliness and dishonest rhetoric like school administrators saying “white babies are born racist”

He’s accepted all invitations to talk about the issue….and does so like a normal human being while getting yelled out by clowns such as joy Reid.

He’s not a political operative.

If you want to understand the issue -many do not - i suggest reading what he has to say and what he has actually found. You then can understand why school officials will lie about what they are trying to do.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Chico23231;1285394]No, everything I said was right and based in fact….you might even just say Chico is based.

We see the crime and murder rates…we see the previous policy strategies and so called reforms.

And we know who is responsible…the dots are easy to connect.[/QUOTE]


You see whatever Q, Putin, Trump, and the far right want you to see Chico. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Complete and utter shit show in New York tonight. No surprise…

Eric Adams with a Trump like statement, I’m sure that’s fine now. Hope he wins actually

But I’m 100% sure we won’t see Dems and media making a fuss over it tomorrow. Shouldn’t be any complaints

This thread was great today. Good work everyone!

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

I really don’t understand the knock against CRT. What is the problem with acknowledging and learning how social and legal constructs have played a role in racism? 3/5ths, Jim Crown, Brown v Board, red lining, predatory lending did these things not occur?

Trump started chirping about it to give some sort of loose legitimacy to his election loss, so now all of his sheep are up in arms about it. Literally nothing to see here.
If trump had been chirping about how corrupt line judges are in tennis, that is what Chico would have posted about next. That is what cults do after all.

You have to completely take it apart and put it back together again into something it was not and will never be to understand it apparently. Lol. Like Matty said it is the new “drain the swamp”.

Yeah nobody is saying kids shouldn’t learn this or the progress we have made to make this country the least racist place on earth. History is important as well as context.

I dont know a lot about CRT and have been actively resisting the urge to read up on it bc I do think republicans are making this seem like some huge real threat .. when its just a college theory that isnt being taught in public schools

I want my kid to know about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement.

I dont want my public schools, even at HS level, teaching sociologist theories. I think CRT would be very interesting to have learned in college. I do believe in systemic and institutional racism. but save the theology for college level discussion imo.

That General who answered Gaetz question .. he had a really good answer. He said Americans attacked the US Capitol on January 6, he wants to understand where that white rage is coming from .. bc its a significant percentage of Americans that feel that way .. and he thinks its important for Americans to try and understand why and where its coming from.

He sd there is nothing wrong reading a Marx or Lenin book to try and understand them .. reading the book doesnt magically make you a communist. Knowledge is knowledge.

If a percentage of americans are so pissed off that they stormed the US capitol building, which has never been done in modern era, ... he has an obligation and duty to try and find out why.
