'Critical Race Theory' the latest Fake Outrage

[Doc7505]

CRT is real.

CRT is a law school course. That's it. It's not, and has never been, taught anywhere else.

Fake Poutrage.

What is going on is that they found a simple banner to fly (three letters) to rally the angry morons. Why? Because they are not satisfied with the already whitewashed history taught in our schools. They want to whitewash it further.

We'll see in 2022 and 2024 which GOP policies are more popular than the democrat's policies.

No, we won't. If electoral success was based on the popularity of political positions the POT would be in the permanent minority. Control of Congress is based on the refusal of Repubs to stop gerrymandering, the grievance politics I've mentioned, and the disproportionate representation of Repubs in the Senate.

Huh?? Whining already? Making excuses already? Who "won" in 2020?
So why won't democrats win "again" in 2022 and 2024?
What is "POT"??
Democrats gerrymander too, it is legal isn't it?
What disproportionate representation of Repubs in the Senate? Those are statewide elections.

IMHO more voters vote their pocketbooks than ideology, so with prices rising, I like the GOP's chances.

What I see is you making excuses for anti-democratic reforms put in place by Republicans.

You should be appalled by gerrymandering by either party, as an anti-democratic policy which undermines the will of the people. Instead of promoting democratic policies, you go with a method which suppresses the will of the people, because it’s “legal”.

Yes people do vote with their pocketbooks. And it’s going to be driven home to them that Republicans have done nothing but impoverished working Americans for the past 40 years.

Isn’t it telling that you want economic pain inflicted on the American people so Republicans can regain power.

How about you come up with a platform, and some plans for the American people rather than just a naked attempt to hold power for its own sake.

1. What anti-democratic reforms? List them.
2. Drawing boundary lines usually ends up in court, it will be legal, but someone will *****, guaranteed. The will of the voters will govern, elections have consequences.
3. What economic pain do I want? The runaway inflation that Xiden is creating with his reckless spending? Get gas lately?
4. Newt and Trump are developing a new "Contract with America", I can't wait to see it. I hope its great. If you like these democrat policies, you might be disappointed by the GOP platform.

The 1619 Project is garbage. It is NOT history.

You've already expressed that unsubstantiated opinion. One you hold because it flies in the face of the history of America you've learned from white historians. How many of the history books they wrote includes a telling of the Black Wall Street massacre in OK. I have friends who grew up there. They had never heard of the incident until a few years ago. Why is that?

"The goal of The 1619 Project is to reframe American history by considering what it would mean to regard 1619 as our nation’s birth year. Doing so requires us to place the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are as a country."

1. My opinion is not only substantiated, its verified history, The 1619 Project is a collection of unreferenced lies.
The "1619 Project" and CRT are not history they are ideology. The bogus history was refuted in "The President's Advisory 1776 Commission" report, written by real professors and historians, not stupid communist/racists.

A 40-page report was released January 21, 2021. Read it and learn the truth:
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.go...nts-Advisory-1776-Commission-Final-Report.pdf

The 1619 Project was published in NYT Magazine August 2019. It was an essay written by Nikole Hannah-Jones without any citations or references. It is simply incorrect, as documented and refuted by real historians. It is simply an amateurish attempt to "reframe history" and "decenter whiteness" according to the author. It is ideology pretending to be history.

Some of the unsubstantiated and simply incorrect claims include:
1. America was founded in 1619, not 1776
2. The reason for the American Revolution was to protect slavery
3. The US Constitution is anti-black
4. The founding ideals were all false
5. That slavery didn't exist until the US started it

The 1619 Project is nothing but a poorly written collection of racist lies.
There was no research, there are no citations, its total bullshit.

‘A hack job,’ ‘outright lies’: Trump commission’s ‘1776 Report’ outrages historians​

Two days after historians responded with dismay and anger to the White House’s “1776 Commission” report, the Biden transition team announced President-elect Joe Biden would rescind the commission with an executive order on his first day in office.

The report was intended to advance a version of U.S. history that would “restor[e] patriotic education” in schools. Historians largely condemned it, saying it was filled with errors and partisan politics.
“It’s a hack job. It’s not a work of history,” American Historical Association executive director James Grossman told The Washington Post. “It’s a work of contentious politics designed to stoke culture wars.”

1. I couldn't read the link you posted, but this link is the article that the newspaper referenced:

‘A Hack Job,’ ‘Outright Lies’: Trump Commission’s ‘1776 Report’ Outrages Historians

Washington Post "Retropolis" writer Gillian Brockell has a roundup of remarks by historians on the contents of the 1776 Commission document, featuring Jim Grossman, Eric Rauchway, Ibram X. Kendi, Alexis Coe, Kali Nicole Gross, Kevin M. Kruse, Sean Wilentz, Kevin M. Levin, and Adam Rothman.

historynewsnetwork.org

2. So there is a disagreement as to what the "intent" of or "translation of" certain events by historians of different backgrounds. Fine, no big deal. Let the debate about real history begin. Which version of history is more accurate, the 1776 Report, or the 1619 Project?

3. The referenced article did NOT critique' the 1619 Project, so its a one-sided article of the 40 page 1776 Report. So we need to look at the seriousness of the history errors.

4. The first half of the article has very generic charges, like outdated, and unreferenced, etc.
Near the end a few specific items are mentioned:
"He pointed to sections misinterpreting Puritan John Winthrop’s “city on a hill” speech, and to a section claiming that the civil rights movement “came to abandon the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity of colorblind civil rights in favor of ‘group rights.’ ” “Group rights is not anathema to American principles,” he said, recalling the formation of the Senate. “Why do Wyomingers have 80 times the representation that Californians have if not for group rights?”

I agree with the 1776 Report that the civil rights movement originally wanted "equal opportunity of colorblind civil rights", but now want the special privileges of an eternal protected class, "group rights", an enhanced racism of being "more equal", and the income equity, that is NOT in the US Constitution.
As to the formation of the Senate, Coe needs to research the "Great Compromise" between large and small states, duh.

Coe, who published a biography of George Washington last year, pointed to a section of the report that claims that the first president had “freed all the slaves in his family estate” by the end of his life. In fact, he freed only one enslaved person upon his death; the 254 other enslaved people at Mount Vernon had a much more complicated fate.

A Decision to Free His Slaves

In his will, written several months before his death in December 1799, George Washington left directions for the emancipation of all the slaves that he owned, after the death of Martha Washington.

www.mountvernon.org

"In his will, written several months before his death in December 1799, George Washington left directions for the emancipation of all the slaves that he owned, after the death of Martha Washington."
So it looks to me that Coe is more wrong than right, again.

The 1776 Report appears more accurate to me than the "historians'" criticisms.

1. The critique of the 1776 Report should not reference the 1619 Project. This isn’t an either/or discussion. This is a discussion of, and a critique of the historical accuracy of Trump’s portrayal of the nation’s founding. Either the report is historically accurate or it isn’t.


2. I am not interested in reading critiques of the 1776 Report. I am willing to read the 1776 Report. I’ll form my I own opinions.

YOu think America woudln't exist without slave labor

After the union kicked the shit out of the south? lol

The only real time the Brits could have regained control was taking part in our civil war....Over those slaves. It was a weakness since the beginning of our history. Now granted we may have had a civil war without the slaves. SO that opportunity may have presented itself otherwise. But that's not how it played out

To believe otherwise is to believe it was a mistake to give up slavery because it's the more efficient system, lol

No, it's always more efficient just to pay a low wage.

[Juicin]

perhaps you should reread my post before telling me what I believe

I read at the highest levels that can be measured.

So i'm very confident in what you implied. Whether you recognize the meaning of what you typed isn't really relevant. You said it im' going to respond to that. Not what you meant to say, but didn't. .

This countries founding sin is the genocide of the native Americans. Chattel slavery is an inefficient system that didn't help anyone by time any slaves were brought here. The South is still in shambles economically because of it.

Yes our founding fathers would have existed with or without slaverly. Just replace the slaves with low wage workers as is more efficient anyway.

Again if slavery was such a good system we would have never gotten rid of it, just made it less race based because the race bit of it is irrational.

You implied that slavery was some how necessary to our founding. It wasn't. You could cut them out of our history and it would probably barely change outside why we fought a civil war for federal supremacy. It would have been over some other issue.

Meh, the white guilt monkeys will abandon the 'cause' once they have kids and realize they were voting against their child's interests. Older white guilt monkeys are hopeless losers, and sadly will try to keep this bullshit alive, but it will fail in the end. How stupid does someone have to be to think that America has any responsibility for actions that began before America existed?

 

[Dragonlady]

Or, you could just not be racist and not try to teach kids to be racist. We worked on that for a long time. Pretty much got there. Why go back now?

The GOP thinks that hammering on certain social issues is politically advantageous.

They may be right.

Grievance politics has worked in the past for the POT. It's what got the Orange Messiah elected.

Grievance politics is not what got Obama elected. George W. Bush is what got Obama elected. The guy who lied the country into two wars neither one of which is completely finished, and who crashed not only the American economy, almost took down the world economy down with it.

The economy was shedding on average 500,000 jobs per month when Obama was inaugurated. Americans were broke, and unemployed, and Republicans wanted to cut the lazy bums off unemployment benefits.

Almost the exact same reasons they why they elected Joe Biden. Except Trump also killed 500,000 in his pandemic, and only 18,000 died from H1N1, over an 18 month span in that pandemic.

I was with you on Obama

But Trump oversaw a massively rebounding economy when democrats wanted to shut the nation down....?

What the **** is this take? lol

Own the lock downs and quarantines. They failed? Well what the **** do you think the economic impact of more stringent lock downs would be?

30 million people would not have gotten sick and 500,000 would not have died. How much money was spent administering and processing the 450 million tests?

How much money was spent and continues to be spent on the 3 million people hospitalized for severe covid. I’m hearing of people owing $30,000 in co-pays for treatments. These ICU hospitalizations are expensive to treat.

We locked down tight in Canada. We flattened the curve last year and reopened last summer, but no big public gatherings at all.

The second wave hit hard and we had to lock down again at Christmas and are just reopening now. Like this week.

Our cases and our deaths per million of population are 1/3 of your numbers.

You processed over 500 million covid tests for a population of 332 million people. Canada processed 36 million tests for 38 million people. Cost saving @ $100 per test?

Our hospitalizations based on population were 1/3 of yours. Given that our medical costs are already half of your for profit system, how much more money did you spend on the more than 3 million Americans who were hospitalized?

Every time Republicans talk about the toll the pandemic took on the economy, they completely ignore the economic costs of testing and treating those who got sick, and focus on how “few” died.

Hundreds of thousands of senior ******* citizens died

No one cares

Most of them were too old to work anyway. It had no effect on the economy. We should have just kept going. THese soft lockdowns don't work.

Which is why most of the west has similar death rates to us even though they had much more stringent lockdowns and mask mandates.

The only places in the west that successfully tamped down the spread was Australia and New Zealand, who were in full lock down, no freedom of movement, borders closed. For month after month.

So unless you were going to do that, this is all pointless and we just lowered GDP even more than we should ahve.

Your view on this is delusional. The only real effects we had were when citziens decided to not leave their homes at all. But we never enforced that. So it was all always pointless. Everyone was going to get touched by that cold the same way that happened everywhere else in the west but oceania.

I cannot believe the ignorance and stupidity if your remarks around Covid. Your death rate is at least triple any other nation. Your economy is crashed more than any other nation.

Every right wing nation with a strong man authoritarian style leader who denied Covid and encourage letting the virus run free, had high case rates high death rates and enormous cost to their economies.

It’s not the lockdowns that cross crash economies, it’s the medical bills.

Our death rate is not triple any other nation lol

Who is telling you this? And you wonder why you have such a warped percpetion of the issue. 3x the death rate? What? lol

A) We tested more htan anyone by far. The university of Illinois had done something 25% of the whole WORLDS testing in late last spring. We were first to the vaccines. And first to wide spread testing at scale. So our numbers will always skew high relative to everyone else even if we had exactly the same reporting standards across the glob. Which we do not. Most countries could not test until long after we had administered hundreds of millions of them.

B) We do not have 3x the death, you are delusional. Where do you get this from/ Peru, Hungary, Bosnia, "Czechia" (the czech republic?), macedonia, bulgaria, brazil, moldova, belgium, slovenia, italy, argentina, croatia, poland, the UK, and then FINALLY the US. So that would put us on the 27th of june at 16th. Again with our numbers skewing higher because we can produce and afford tests.

All these nations had higher per capita death rates

Including ******* Belgium and Italy which have had exponentially harsher lock downs and rules. The UK?????????????

So with that information. You should understand that these things don't work.

The only thing that worked in the west was what the Australianas and New Zealanders did. Who truly did stop the spread, by enforcing a draconian lockdown over a cold. It will work. I would suggest that action for a plague. Not a cold that isn't a threat to anyone under 40 relative to a normal flu and cold season.

It wasn't the masks that keep the Asians from spreading, it's that the don't ******* talk to eachother. For example you can't cheer at the olympics because it will cause spread. Westerners can't replicate that if we tried hahahaha. Subways full of Japanese causing no spread for this reason.

This is only a problem for old people.

There are less than 500 under 18 deaths from covid in the states. Your average flu kills more children., You are not qualified to have this discussion with me

Who is ignorant here? 3x the deaths lol

I agree with the 1776 Report that the civil rights movement originally wanted "equal opportunity of colorblind civil rights", but now want the special privileges of an eternal protected class, "group rights", an enhanced racism of being "more equal", and the income equity, that is NOT in the US Constitution.
As to the formation of the Senate, Coe needs to research the "Great Compromise" between large and small states, duh.

Coe, who published a biography of George Washington last year, pointed to a section of the report that claims that the first president had “freed all the slaves in his family estate” by the end of his life. In fact, he freed only one enslaved person upon his death; the 254 other enslaved people at Mount Vernon had a much more complicated fate.

A Decision to Free His Slaves

In his will, written several months before his death in December 1799, George Washington left directions for the emancipation of all the slaves that he owned, after the death of Martha Washington.

"In his will, written several months before his death in December 1799, George Washington left directions for the emancipation of all the slaves that he owned, after the death of Martha Washington."
So it looks to me that Coe is more wrong than right, again.

The 1776 Report appears more accurate to me than the "historians'" criticisms.

1. The critique of the 1776 Report should not reference the 1619 Project. This isn’t an either/or discussion. This is a discussion of, and a critique of the historical accuracy of Trump’s portrayal of the nation’s founding. Either the report is historically accurate or it isn’t.


2. I am not interested in reading critiques of the 1776 Report. I am willing to read the 1776 Report. I’ll form my I own opinions.

We disagree as always.
1. The point of the debate is which document is historically more accurate. IMHO its the 1776 Commission Report, which was NOT written by Trump but by the following qualified commission:
Larry P. Arnn, appointed chair of the commission, was president of Hillsdale College, and is a professor of history and politics,
Carol Swain, vice-chair, highly respected black female academic, professor of Law and and political science at Vanderbilt, her expertise are issues of race, immigration, and the US Constitution.
Matthew Spalding, exec-director, is a professor of constitutional government, and authored biographies of the founding fathers.
Jerry Davis, president of College of the Ozarks
Michael Farris, Chancellor of Patrick Henry College
Mike Gonzalez, author and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation
Victor Davis Hanson, military historian, prolific author, professor emeritus at Cal State
Charles Kesler, professor of government at Claremont McKenna and author of books about America's founding
Peter Kirsanow, a black attorney and longest serving member of the US Civil-Rights Commission
Thomas Lindsay, senior fellow of constitutional studies, served as a dean, college president, and provost
Other ex-officio commission members include Mike Pompeo, Ben Carson, and Christopher Miller

2. You should have the link to the 40-page report. Let me know if you want to debate anything. Here is the link again:

Meh, the white guilt monkeys will abandon the 'cause' once they have kids and realize they were voting against their child's interests. Older white guilt monkeys are hopeless losers, and sadly will try to keep this bullshit alive, but it will fail in the end. How stupid does someone have to be to think that America has any responsibility for actions that began before America existed?

It’s worth saying again.
Nothing shows the existence of systemic racism more clearly than a systematic effort to bury the history of racism in America.

Why is the whitewashed version of American history seen as more correct and more desirable than the whole truth? Why do those who see it that way feel more entitled to their history?
