As a Black man, I don't think CRT is true

[ThomasSowellsFro]

Nonsense.
America is founded on religious freedom and people wanting to escape the tyranny of royalty.
Globally, America was not only a small player in the slave trade.. but are not even in the top 10 slave countries.
Slavery in America was brief, isolated to pockets in the south. and nowhere near as pervasive and large as the left makes it out to be. It was terrible, tragic, inhumane and the 2nd darkest part of our past.
But America's use of slaves pales to compare with the rest of the world.
Get over it.

It was founded on racism. Nothing you just said changes that.

Ubiquitous, widespread racism, on top of codified racialist law and policies= America was founded on racism. It has been the fiber of our society since its birth.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
First off, "America" wasn't founded.
Do you mean the United States? The United States was not founded on racism.
That's the childish rantings of a shallow and indoctrinated intellect.
The United States was founded upon the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the preamble of the Constitution.
Educate yourself.

What I'm "on about" is your apparent hypocrisy regarding racism. It exists in many individuals of all skin colors, dumbass.

Whataboutism.

 

[Orangecat]

Whataboutism.

Idiocy.

I'm glad you agree with CRT, then. bwahahaha

 

[ThomasSowellsFro]

What does that mean, in practical terms?

Meritocracy. People judged by content of character, not skin color.

Historically the USA has been one of the freeist nations on earth. It was always far more free than the UK or any of the Empire/Commonwealth countries and still is today.

Actually, USA ranks lower than many other countries in the Freedom index. It is even lower now with Desantis and others censoring speech, and deliberately retaliating against speech it doesn't like(something you could otherwise sue your employer for) as well as Covid lockdowns, and Trump trying to ban people on grounds of religions affiliation, which is antithetical to the whole rElIgIoUs fReEdOm platitude. "Freedom" is a vague, nebulous term, and we pick and choose where applicable.

You’re glad about a straw man lie? Okay.

 

[johngaltshrugged]

You need to do something to correct the inequalities caused by slavery and Jim Crow.

Probably a lot more than AA.

So, to make up for racism of the past, we need racism now. To make up for racism now, we need more racism tomorrow.
In a nutshell, your argument is the way to combat racism is with more racism.
That's just F*ng brilliant!
I don't know how you do it because just trying to follow your circular logic makes me dizzy. You must be ready to fall over & puke all day long.
It must be hard to live with so many fallacies & racist lies bouncing around your head like Pacman

And by "censoring speech" of course you mean stopping groomers & racist CRT theory.
Nice logic there groomer.
Tell me something, do you have a For Rent sign on your forehead because you've got a lot of empty space up there

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I think we have determined this is just yet another black poster wanting hand outs/reparations and all things wrong = ******.

Bye

You just agtreed that racism is normal. You agree with CRT then muhahah. There's not way out of it.

 

[Orangecat]

Incorrect. Your assumption that recognizing that racism exists equates to support for CRT is as illogical as it is immature. In your world, CRT is nothing more than teaching kids that racism is normal?
Try smarter next time.

 

[MizMolly]

Nope, the burden is on you and white society. You claimed racism ended. Prove it with science or get muted. I don't give a fuck about your little white male platitudes.

Who said racism ended? By the way, whites aren’t the only racists.

The white society did and says it all the time.

 

[MizMolly]

I dont have time to look it up now but i will do.
The US govt made grants available to enable folk tobuy their homes. I think it was $10k. That 10k is now worth $500k and oddly enough the money was not available to black folk. That is the economic disparity between the races today.

Black folk were also excluded from better housing and better schools.

This is the history of the US and was the case until recently. It still goes on in policing and the justce system.

That is affirmative action and goes back to 1619.

Old policies are not current policies. Not every white person received government grants. No excuse for people growing up with equal opportunities today.

 

[MizMolly]

The white society did and says it all the time.

Bullshit. Show proof of it.

 

[MizMolly]

No. But if it was, that would be ok because you do have a reason to hate yourself. Is it self hatred for a drunk to admit he is a drunk? It's just a fact. But I can see how that would be antithetical to your white supremacist paradigm.

It racist for you to ASSume someone to be a white supremacist.
