Critical race theory

[MaryL]

It's a "thing" because liberals and other idiots say so. No, it isn't.

 

[Unkotare]

Do you notice that you start the same thread over and over and over and over and over?

Conservatives are either ignorant as to what CRT actually is and lie about it because of their ignorance or they know what it actually is but lie about it anyway because the truth doesn’t support their lies.

OK then, tell us all what CRT actually is.

Let's hear it ....

 

[MaryL]

Um if CRT is a concern, then so the flat earth theory. Its real because idiots assert it with out facts. Assertions. WHITES did this, WHITES did that. Those that can...DO. Those that can't are liberal contrarians asserting.

So, what about the race theory from "Christians" and their religion?
Apparently whites weren't even a "thing" back in supposed biblical times, as everybody was of Middle Eastern descent. Whites didn't come into the picture anywhere in the Bible or it's stories.

So, that means either whites are the latest generation in human race genetics, or the Bible is completely wrong and were racist against whites by not mentioning them.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The one aspect of CRT that frightens conservatives the most is that the accounts of black Americans when they experience racism is considered valid, documented evidence of the existence of racism.

This, of course, undermines the right’s lie that racism is not systematic, the lie that racism is ‘rare,’ and the lie that the accounts of racism experienced by black Americans are ‘anecdotal.’

Well...obviously the Bible can't be wrong so it must be option 1.

 

[MaryL]

Really?

 

[idb]

Really?

Isn't that true?
You wouldn't say that the Bible is wrong would you?

“CRT provides a relevant, research-based framework through which education leaders and policymakers can think about the social construct of race and the impact of racism on students of color. This framework also provides educators the tools they need to transform current practices in teaching and learning and to examine the attitudes and biases—implicit or explicit—that they bring into their classrooms. This work allows educators to teach in ways that are truly anti-racist, culturally responsive and affirming.

CRT also allows for the creation of new policies, practices and curricula that help students think critically about the institutions that shape their lives, and to develop their own affirmative racial identities—which is important for all students.”

Oh, the horror.

Lets see here: terrorize the general populace for months over a fentanyl addicts death. Lets convict a hard working cop (Chovin) for Floyds death. Meanwhile tear down society and statues and build a statue to G. Flloyd? Explain that to me again....

Agnostic. Let those without sin burn down cities, it loses its edge.

Is this your understanding of Critical Race Theory?

WHY HAS IT BECOME SO POLITICIZED?

‘Resistance to critical race theory is not a new phenomenon. However, the term jumped into headlines and social media feeds in recent years when, in a Constitution Day speech at the National Archives, former president Donald Trump characterized education that takes a critical lens as “radical” and “ideological poison.” Trump went on to attack the “1619 Project” and announced an executive order establishing the short-lived “1776 Commission” to “promote patriotic education.” He also issued a subsequent executive order banning government contractors from conducting racial sensitivity and diversity training in the workplace.

The executive orders were a reaction to educational initiatives—like the “1619 Project” or the work of Howard Zinn—designed to examine professional development, pedagogy, teaching and learning through a critical lens, labeling any approach that acknowledges American racism, white supremacy, white privilege, intersectionality, microaggressions, and the like as dangerous, unpatriotic and, ironically, racist.’ ibid

Resistance to critical race theory is ridiculous and unwarranted; lying about CRT as conservatives do is reprehensible and wrong.
