We need to Lime light conservative & democrat, wealthy, educated black people, in numbers.
Show conservative, well educated, well off Asians in numbers. Show wealthy, conservative and
well educated white people in numbers.

Then show these three groups coming together to solve a problem..

What it is is people representing a private organization talking. Freedom of speech and all that. I won't be donating money to that particular 501c3 organization.

And since I haven't received any stars on my post, I exercise my right to remove myself from this conversation.

The Whole idea of racism will hopefully become nothing more than anachronistic ideals of an earlier age...

There are three main races of Humanity on Earth right now. Mongoloid, Negroid and Caucasoid; all derivatives thereof are from these three..mostly...heh

In years to come, (I have seen a few already), these three races will blend more and more, generating blended pigmentation and irises of gold.


There will be no such worry...I wager

I’m gonna say it exactly as it is. CRT only exists because some people are too lazy to get a real job. Like the BLM head that cashed out and bought all those houses. It’s a con. As long as they can teach kids about white supremacy they won’t have to go back to working the Popeyes cash register.

"Abolitionist Teachers" should "uild a school culture that engages in healing and advocacy. This requires a commitment to learning from students, families, and educators who disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression," the group states in its guide.

I realize there are a few here who think this is something other than what it is. Well, this is the clearest view I have seen of exactly what I thought it was, and now being admitted what it is.

"If you don't realize white supremacy is in everything we do, we got a problem."
Well, we got a problem. But it's not the one you think. It's that you are a racist by definition, and need to accept that, and quit pretending you are some savior here to fix something.

Celebrating our unique qualities, sharing our cultures, ending racism should be our goals. This is equivalent to slashing open a giant wound, and pouring salt into it, then telling the guy who's been cut it's his fault. It's idiotic and this must stop.

Erasing years and years of progress isn't the answer. Tearing down the system because you want excuses isn't the answer. Teaching EVERYONE that EVERYONE has the same opportunities for greatness, and showing examples of that is how we progress and move forward. It was working for a long time, and things were getting better.

If you can watch that video, and explain why we should teach our children that way, I'd love to hear what outcome you expect.

Not MY KID Your Not!!!"Uhh...well,actually I have no child of my own. But I have several nieces and nephews.

Seriously though; network dude unpacks it well, and others in this post have lit some spots as well...

So the only people that argue against CRT are white supremacists? Really? You've never maybe seen an African American person that disagrees with it? Any other people of color that might disagree with this? Or is there something deep inside of you that says when you say these people "They don't agree with this idea, they must be white supremacists!" When, if it was white supremacy, they would be hurting themselves with it.

Maybe it's just an ass backwards idea that is pretty racist when you look at it from any lens?

knowing not all on the left are Marxists, how do you suppose they just sit back and say nothing while all this goes on? Do they think they are helping?

People like me were simply lumped into "the right" by both the "right" and "left." But it was only ever a tacit alliance to resist an emerging non-theistic religion. We were never red-pilled, as such. The actual "left" died years ago.. what remains is a re-animated skin suit driven by corporate propaganda that is attempting to codify their religion into law.

Similarly, the social groups of marxists & communists are being used in the same way. Its not a fight against communism or marxism any more than it is a fight against "the left." Historically, these people would be called "useful idiots." However, what they are attempting to build is a system that absolutely does not have any historical correlary outside of some aspects that are universal to any authoritarian system.

Ive said it before, but understanding what has actually occurred with CRT is rather important. It was originally developed as an analytical tool to examine a system from the foundation that racism was assumed to be present. This is actually an interesting tool, however, it is something that is meant to be turned on and off. Its certainly not a way of life, or shouldnt be.

Actual training and education to use the tool is not what is being taught in these schools. This is where supporters of CRT have basically fortified their hill, because critics of CRT claim that CRT is, itself, being taught. This has become even further conflated over the past couple years, including the addition of anti-racist rhetoric like Robin DiAngelo and Imbrim Kendi.

Now, what has been happening is that for many, its a tool that was turned on but never turned off. There are a plethora of reasons and examinations of this, but it was more of a transition period into what we have now.

Now, we are designing entire curriculums through the lens of CRT. This is worse than teaching it as a tool for analysis, since this literal indoctrination does not include anything about how to turn the tool off. In fact, for many, they wont even realize there is literally a manufactured filter on everything they perceive in their entire daily life.

All the injustices, inequities, lack of fairness, tragedies, and sadness that are inherent to existence itself will, without question, be viewed through the lens of CRT. Not only does this inject racism as the cause of literally all problems, it completely obfuscates incidents where racism did play a role. There is literally no capability to examine daily events outside of this racial lens.

It builds exceptional Brand loyalty to any organization that pretends to offer the answer. Do Note: the same type of perception filter has been built around "covid."

My warning now is to those who identify as being on the "right." Many of the same tools and techniques deployed to radicalize the "left" into a full blown folie à plusieurs are now being deployed against the "right." The job is pretty much done on the "left," and now strictly controlled opposition must be built. Its a different social group with a different approach, which requires modification of the strategies and tactics.. But the whole framework is already established.

Everyone already fights over all the same Stories from controlled information channels. Everyone already participates in the modern radicalization engine that are major social media platforms. And even if it isnt actually "everyone" (it isnt, obviously), its enough people to impart momentum to where society & civilization might go.

This is accomplished through massaging and amplifying Narratives that lead to a desired result. Specific events that are most likely to be divisive are easy to find when talking about a world where local events ..everywhere.. are used as a pool of potential. George Floyd is a very high profile example of this. It had significant potential for divisiveness in both directions; the video itself being introduced to a social group already largely inculcated with things like CRT, and Floyd's history and totality of events that occurred that day. To achieve the highest level of instability and evoke the most emotions, the information must be released in a specific schedule and cycle which is largely determined by metrics from social media engagement. It doesnt take a high profile event though; it can be as simple as focusing 95% of stories on, say, "white cop shoots black man/woman."

What we will see repeat are a few things. The first will be ideological structures that begin to weed out the "non-believers." For the "left," this mainly focused on whether or not one supported NGOs, corporations, etc. under the auspices of concerns like environmentalism, poverty, etc. The belief structures need to target easily weaponized ideals and shape them in a way that lends itself to Brand loyalty. Ideally, in a way that actually exacerbates the problem in a way that can be blamed on "non-believers," but at the very least in a way that doesnt address it.

My guess would be that one of the principle loci will be gay marriage, another might be a modern reformation of Luddites. But, these things can be adjusted in real time until something(s) really settles in. The two behavioral outlets that will be encouraged will be emotional engagement online and protests with increasing potential for violence. Probably with a strong focus on rejecting technology, but never in a way that offers novel alternatives. This shapes the perception of real world events to be defined by the emotional engagement online, instead of the other way around. Really just the same thing that has been going on for years in other social groups.


The nebulous "they" want to create a world where the ruling class isnt reliant on the general population in any way. Not for manufacturing, not for construction, not for military, not for law enforcement, not for medicine, etc. Then, we just become another resource to be managed. Maybe as a pool for ideas to exploit or steal to continue innovation. Maybe as entertainment through social manipulations and social group conflicts, but little else. If they can do it in a way that creates absolute dependence, all the better. And any dissent can easily be handled through weaponizing the information the public receives, coupled with surveillance systems and soon enough, robots.

We can also utilize all the same technology to deliver the same level of self-sufficiency to everyone, so why arent we going down that path? I think its habit, mostly. And that ruling class (erroneously) believes that the thrill of control is preferable to the vast potential of a world that moves away from dependency as a control mechanism.

Regardless, we do not require anyones permission (yet) to actually adopt an alternative framework. But, until this is done, which I believe could prevent/ameliorate a lot of serious problems anyway.. anything from furiously debating politics online to outright violent responses will be nothing more than bricks in the walls of our own Diversity Cubes of Equity, Justice, and Fairness.

The word "racism" has lost all meaning to me, it's getting pounded into the ground. One of the ladies even said that she wants African Americans to be feared.

Those people are brainwashed and fueled by hate and desire for racial superiority.

Martin Luther King would be rolling in his grave if he only knew that the Civil Rights movement is now dead and gone.

Fear black people? Lmao. No. Just no. I know too many of them. They’re awesome. But they’re afraid of everything. Frogs. Lizards. Snakes. Dogs. Ghost. The dark. Sorry. Not trying to be mean. I just call it like it is.

Yep. BLM is another example of such a thing. Even the Tea Party back in the day, and Libertarianism. Feminism, too.

Definitely, if there is an "ism" at the end, it will eventually be relegated to the annals of extremism.

if progress had been made decades ago things wouldn't be how they are now with white supremacists arguing against CRT too

Are there any non white supremacists arguing against CRT?

I believe the best way to understand people is to have a discussion with them and let them tell you what they are thinking. In light of this, I'd like to ask you a few questions so that I can understand your position better. Lots of times people don't answer my questions. This tells me that they don't want to have a discussion. Let's see if you actually want to have a discussion.

If there's been years of progress, there would be no police brutality...

Do other races besides blacks experience police brutality?

...,there would be no white people using racial slurs,

Do other races besides whites use racial slurs?

....there would be far less incarcerated people of color,

Can you show just one case where someone remains in prison because of the color of their skin?

...Muslims wouldn't be labeled as terrorists,

Do terrorists exist, and if so are some of them Muslims?

....immigrants wouldn't be labeled as savages,

How many people label all immigrants as savages? Could you show me some examples?

...there wouldn't be pipelines being built on native land,

Has there been pipelines built on Native land without their permission?

... there wouldn't be any white supremacists,

We are still talking about earth here right?

You actually think there's equal opportunity when no voting rights, segregation, and slavery ranges from current people's grandparents to great great grandparents is equal opportunity to current white people whose grandparents to great great grandparents faced no oppression are equal to black people is offensive.

Well you explain how there is not equal opportunity?

Thanks

I gave you a star so you would feel better. But I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. These people are one of the groups promoting Critical Race Theory, and they are educators. They teach this stuff to kids. When we speak on this subject, I'm told often that I just don't understand what CRT really is. Well, these folks tell us in their own words what they think it is, and again, they are the one's teaching it to children. So it you listen to them, (regardless of the source material in the article) you can see exactly what they are talking about.

If you have a position on this, please explain it.

There is no quick and easy way for me to understand what the Abolitionist Teachers are actually doing. They seem to be kind of like a secret society. I went to their website, clicked around, downloaded their Manual and read it. And I still don't understand. It's like the only way to truly understand is to be a member.

The short 1:27 montage that the Fox News people put together from a 1:30:51 video. Those easily misunderstood, out of context, and scary sounding bits.

The question that comes to my mind is WHY did Fox News do this? The headline: Biden admin promotes radical group pushing critical race theory in schools is false.

The subtitle: A critical race theory handbook is intended to disrupt Whiteness and oppression, can actually be inferred from the bullet points in the 14 page handbook which doesn't actually explain what they mean by "Whiteness". I must say that reading that did illicit a quick knee jerk reaction from me. Although that subtitle is false also because the handbook is not discussing or explaining CRT.

It is easier for me to question Fox News's motives for lying than it is for me to truly understand what Abolitionist Teachers are actually doing.

a reply to: pthena

I'd guess you would also have to factor in the white houses response to all this, in order to have as full and accurate account as possible.

www.foxnews.com...

A Department of Education spokesperson previously told Fox News it "was an error" to link to the Abolitionist Teaching Network. But the department has repeatedly ignored questions about why the radical group was included in the handbook in the first place and who added the link.

One of the officials, Deputy Education Secretary Cindy Marten, headed the San Diego school system when it paid the Abolitionist Teaching Network’s co-founder, Bettina Love, $11,000 for a speaking event, financial records and a copy of the agreement show.

I wonder why they are distancing themselves from this group if they are just misunderstood.

a reply to: network dude

I wonder why they are distancing themselves from this group if they are just misunderstood.

I am the one misunderstanding. Maybe someone advising the administration does understand. That would explain the distancing.

I saw Bettina Love on TV once. Some host asked her a question and she went off on a rant about something else without answering the question. It was sort of embarrassing and they cut her off.

I keep hearing about all of this white privilege and wonder
where do I go to get it?

a reply to: mamabeth

One day when I was about 13 I was walking down this dirt road. I saw a cop car pull onto the road heading toward me.

I thought it would be funny to pull a prank. In a very exaggerated manner, I feigned startlement and fear, then started running into the field.

The cop stepped on it and quickly reached the spot where I had started running. He jumped out and called for me come toward him.

He spent about 10 minutes showing me his revolver and shotgun and saying how if there had been a call reporting criminal activity in the area he could just as easily have shot me for running.

I think that the time he took to explain these things to me had something to do with white privilege.
