Teacher fired for teaching "Critical Race Theory"

Lots of slogans; no pictures and few facts.

[quote]It was the first year students were assigned a 15-question worksheet called "How Racially Privileged Are You?"

Scroll down and you can see the questions on the "worksheet" (as well as scoring).

Pathetic. It is harmful to black kids and makes white kids feel superior.

Fired for racism. Good.

The worksheet is appalling and insulting an a teen brain. Honestly, this stupid bitch couldn't come up with her own nuanced lesson plan in her own pea brain?

But isn't CRT part of free speech or am I getting something wrong? Can someone plz educate me?

She taught that there’s something called racism.

THIS is what the GOP is going after.

No race as any societal advantage!.

Nothing to see here!

So many fucking conservatives on this thread. Blaming the teacher is disgusting. White privilege is real for many.

There needs to be discussions about race in public schools.

R8 like the racist bell curve?

[quote] White privilege is real for many. There needs to be discussions about race in public schools.

Maths privilege and grammar privilege is real for many. There needs to be discussions about maths and grammar in public schools.

[quote]White privilege is real for many.

Light skin black people privilege over dark skin black people is real for many.

Beautiful people privilege over ugly people.

Able body privilege over the disabled.

Youth privilege over the old.

Etc and etc and etc.

Yes, but over all of that and throughout America history, whites have had huge privilege over blacks.

[Quote] Pathetic. It is harmful to black kids and makes white kids feel superior.

But it’s the truth

When did all the stupid Trump people decide to read Datalounge? Please go back to your Fox News bubble.

Teaching in southern Missouri? Please, bitch. There are confederate flags flying openly along the main donkey trail.

I'm surprised they allow her to say that the North won the Civil War. Hard for them Okies to admit that slavery doesn't exist anymore.

r15 demonstrates exactly the problem right now. This woman is a hero. She should have support and if all the smart, liberals actually realized that there are many other great places to live, and if they did, we might even out this balkanization we're experiencing. Instead its just snide remarks and losing the battle to the conservatives because they don't understand the rules of American Democracy.

That worksheet was dumb. She paid for that?

She shouldn’t have been fired for it, but white have passed laws saying you can’t talk about white supremacy—which is an action that pretty much demonstrates white supremacy

I hate the disingenuous way progressives pretend critical race theory is just some arcane law school shit.

[quote]She shouldn’t have been fired for it, but white have passed laws saying you can’t talk about white supremacy—which is an action that pretty much demonstrates white supremacy

What exactly is white supremacy?

What exactly is white supremacy?

The belief that whites are the superior race. The default race and all others are lesser or exotic an experience you can take or leave. But don't get to be recognized as mainstream.

I grew up in that area in the 1970s. There was still an active Klan that was a branch of the Chamber of Commerce and I remember a news article about how they were disbanding and forming a new group for "modern times" and my dad snorted and said it would still be the Klan. He was very racist but didn't approve of the Klan because he said that it was only the white trash business owners who joined, not the truly successful whites.

Is promoting a racist ideology (fair skinned people are inherently evil) a good enough reason to fire a teacher in US?

Absolutely!!! Fully endorse their firing. Fucking racist. Teaching Critical Theory is the mirror reverse of teaching Third Reich racial theory.

Agree R24 3rd Reich had the similar ideology about Jews who as bankers and capitalists expoloited impoverished German workers. It was time of crises like today. They made the class issue a racial issue and pronounced all Jews (even though the majority of Jews were not bankers or capitalists) privileged exploiters.

I am surprised how woke America is promoting the racist agenda, blabbing about white privilege, when the majority if whites are living under the poverty rate census. Then the ugliest xenophobic anti Russian sentiment. You can tell far right and wokes anymore in US. In Europe we know how the hate fuelling against any group of people can end in tears. In Africa they know it too.

But America is somehow special.

Just a "Theory," mostly bullshit.

I meant that you can't tell the far right and wokes in US anyomore.

Bullshit.

[Quote] I hate the disingenuous way progressives pretend critical race theory is just some arcane law school shit.

It is.

The right has cooped the name CRT to mean racism in general.

[Quote] What exactly is white supremacy?

Let me guess. You’re white

[Quote] I meant that you can't tell the far right and wokes in US anyomore.

Woke is about treating all people with dignity.

The far right is about suppressing the rights of all who aren’t straight white men.

Is that clear enough for you?

R30 And you are a racist.

R31 Far right is prejudiced against non white, woke is prejudiced against white, if they are poor and not the liberal poseurs. Same shit.

Wokes are right in fact too, because it is the ideology of middle and upper middle class who despise working class, if they are not colored, which makes the ideology racist too.

[quote]Woke is about treating all people with dignity.

Absolutely. That's why it's important to scream insults at polite white men.

[quote] I hate the disingenuous way progressives pretend critical race theory is just some arcane law school shit.

Translation:

You hate that words, including CRT have actual definitions, and don’t mean whatever your Republican Party says that they mean. Critical Race Theory has an actual definition. It is not whatever Republicans claim it is. It is not any mention of race or racism. It is also not taught in public schools.

Republican policies perpetuate the bigotry that they don’t want discussed nor addressed. I’m order to permanently secure the reins of power. Republicans are banning speech, banning books and disenfranchising Democratic voters. This is about power.

[quote] Absolutely. That's why it's important to scream insults at polite white men.

You labeled that protest “woke” and you’re simultaneously arguing that aren’t what you claimed they were. You’re arguing against yourself, no one else.

You're not the brightest bean, are you. Go look up satire, before you make more of a fool of yourself here.

[quote] Oscars to disqualify films that do not have enough black, gay and disabled workers As the Oscars become less and less significant because of this, so there will be little desire to jump through the hoops to become eligible. Purity tests have no place in Art. NONE. The idiots who pushed this through aren’t in the remotest way significant film makers, and Academy members are already pissed off by the panicked mass inclusion of diversity people after the So White nonsense — many of those briught in have slender to no connection to film — it’s been a traducing ofindustry standards for a knee jerk gesture. They’re in quiet panic mode and ridiculous diversity grifters are making hay of it.

[quote]The belief that whites are the superior race.

And so how does that manifest itself in every day life? Give some concrete examples.

And what about Asians who believe that Asians are the superior race?

Or Hispanics that feel superior to blacks?

Or light skinned blacks that feel superior to dark skinned blacks?

[Quote] And you are a racist.

I’m just calling out your race. Not putting any judgment behind it.

[Quote] And so how does that manifest itself in every day life? Give some concrete examples.

The quote from Senator Cassidy about maternal Mortality not being so bad if you ignore black women is a perfect example. Senator doesn’t think that blacks are even Americans. This translates into fewer jobs given to blacks and more blacks being incarcerated despite whites doing the same crimes at the same; or even higher, numbers. It leads to policemen feeling they can kill, fine, and arrest blacks at will. It leads to black farmers being denied funds (leading to the biggest fine in American jurisprudence). It leads to voting laws targeted specifically to prevent blacks from voting. It prevents blacks from getting promotions at work. And on and on and on

[quote]Maths privilege and grammar privilege is real for many. There needs to be discussions about maths and grammar in public schools.

Americans don’t call it maths, you English retard.

R40, everyone feels superior to everyone else. But when you hold societal power and can act on that belief, that’s when a feeling manifests into actions.

[quote]Woke is about treating all people with dignity.

No it isn’t. It’s about superiority, acting like a constant insufferable scold, a hypocrite.

R47 = typical brain dead liberal. Enjoy November.

[Quote] No it isn’t. It’s about superiority, acting like a constant insufferable scold, a hypocrite.

You mean acting like white people have always acted?

[Quote] = typical brain dead liberal. Enjoy November.

Does Russia even have elections?

R47 What societal power does a barely employed middle-aged white guy living in a trailer in Appalachia with three kids and his wife and a broken down second hand car have pray tell when Obama killed the coal industry and everyone on the left including here on DL is telling him every day that he's a racist uneducated piece of shit who should just die?

R52 It is because wokes are fascists who hate working class.

The average white person is just trying to get through the month...but yeah, keep whining about white supremacy.

And right now 538 shows Biden's approval rating at 40.7%. And losing Hispanics and blacks for that matter.

Maybe the left should change their narrative?

R50 Retarded racist bitch

R53 Exactly. We see it here on DL in virtually every thread. Idolize the rich (any color) and mock the poor (any color but especially if they're white because, hey, they're probably bigots anyway according to them). The fact that so many here rail against white supremacy when they're running around feeling superior to and spewing bigotry at everyone who lives between the coasts is... well rather rich.

R54 The idiocy about white privilege and supremacy was invented by rich white liberals who want to keep the working class which majority in US is still white underprivileged. They want to keep the status quo of American feudalism. Just like Republicans. The only difference between them is that Democrats are pandering to blacks and LGBT, but in long run they will damage the rights of gays and blacks.

R57 It's the Jews who spend all their time shitting on white people in the media but enjoy the white privilege that comes with being able to pass.

Blah, blah, blah...White supremacy...

And yet Bangladeshis, Indians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, Indonesians, Japanese, Korean, Pakistani, Vietnamese ....and Nigerians.... all out do them in median household income.

Critical Race Theory should be banned and burned. Shameful.

Austrian Jews think they're better than German Jews. German Jews think they're better than English Jews. Spanish-speaking Cubans think they're better than Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican. Face facts - everyone thinks they're better than someone else. Life in the real world.

No one is remotely impressed R39 in highlighting your psychosis as a stalker.

Take your medication you sad freak.

Only the most ignorant of people could honestly proclaim that there is not a history of white oppression/suppression of black people from the founding of our nation until now. From slavery to reconstruction, segregation, lynchings, the destruction of black communities, (such as downtown Tulsa), separate but equal, attacks on black children trying to attend schools in white neighborhoods, dilution of black votes via gerrymandering, etc etc, it's sheer nonsense to pretend that someone just woke up one day and made it all up to make white children feel guilty.

R63 Very few people owned slaves in America as only the wealthy could afford them. Newsflash: most people (even white ones) weren't and aren't wealthy. They're struggling just as much as everyone of every other color.

Of course it's only acceptable to look down on one color and automatically assume the worst of them in advance (whites).

R64, that's what makes CRT so pernicious. It paints an entire race as oppressors and another group as oppressed.

r64, that was one of the weakest arguments I've ever read on DL, and I've read plenty. Every time a working class white person grabbed a job that had already been applied for by a black person of equal qualification, he benefitted and so did his family. Every time a white person moved into a house that a black person had submitted an application for and had been denied because of bank red-lining or restrictive covenants, , he and his family benefitted. Every time that a school district with all white members voted to devote 3/4 of the budget to the white school and 1/4 of the budget to the black school, the white families benefitted. Every time that black neighborhoods were slotted for demolition in order to build a freeway, sparing the white neighborhoods all around, the white people in those communities benefitted. Do you really imagine that "white privilege" ended in 1865? I'm white, so I'm not saying this as an embittered black person - but I wouldn't blame the black person for being embittered.

R66 Oh well. Then just hunt down and kill all white people then. Then you'll have your whiteless utopia.

[quote]From slavery to reconstruction, segregation, lynchings, the destruction of black communities, (such as downtown Tulsa), separate but equal, attacks on black children trying to attend schools in white neighborhoods...

In other words things that happened decades ago. History should certainly be taught but no one living today is responsible for any of that. We should celebrate the progress that has been made and move on.

R66 Millions of Jews slaughtered 80 years ago. The Vietnamese slaughtered. The Armenian Genocide in 1915. The slaughter in Uganda. And on and on.

Lots of shit happened in the past.

[Quote] Critical Race Theory should be banned and burned. Shameful.

And yet no one has satisfactorily defined what exactly that is. Not even you

[Quote] In other words things that happened decades ago. History should certainly be taught but no one living today is responsible for any of that.

You now own the house that was built a long while ago.

R70 I posted a definition of Critical Race Theory and you simply dismissed it. Hard to debate anyone when they're not doing so honestly. That's why you're a troll. You're just here to pick fights with people and be a contrarian.

R71 So let's burn our houses down too then. Kill all the white people, burn their houses down, and then who will you have to blame for all your failures?

R71 You now own the house that was built a long while ago.

No, I rent and can't afford to buy a house.

Try again.

[quote]Then the ugliest xenophobic anti Russian sentiment.

Unlike the Russian regime, Ukraine hasn't threatened to nuke people.

[quote]but I wouldn't blame the black person for being embittered.

I would. A healthy and sane person should know better than to be bitter jealous and collectively blame the whole race or nation for own misfortunes. And you are talking shit when you say that poor whites gained anything from the discrimination of blacks. They gained nothing cause they have nothing. The ones who gained from exploitations of others, both black and white, are the ruling classes who invented the term white privilege and critical race theory and who are instigating toxicity and self victimization in blacks. Because self victimizing people are good for nothing. Irish were terribly exploited by English for centuries, but they have built one of the most prosperous societies in Europe (although economically to liberal for my taste) because they were not sitting and whining and blaming English for their misfortunes.

You can say the same about men gaining better position in society because of exploitation of women, keeping them away from education and working places that men believed naturally belonged to them for centuries. And using their domestic work for free. Particularly you in black community have been mistreating women.

So, using this logic, any woman can blame you as a man and ask reparation from you, Menluvinguy.

r76, I'm going to dismiss your comment because English is obviously not your native language, hence your knowledge of American history has to be shallow and uninformed.

R77 Now you are xenophobic, Menluvi.

Look at American supremacist who gave Menluvin the like at R77.

R77 You're quite the cunt. Nothing in R76's comment would lead someone to think English is not their first language. In fact, he knows spelling and grammar much better than you clearly do.

But I do love seeing someone accuse someone else of racism while, in their very next breath, spewing their own casual xenophobia like "English is obviously not your native language" and talking down to them like they're a child.

Oh and R75, the average Russian in the street hasn't threatened to nuke anyone. You can't blame every single citizen of a country because of what their leaders do or say. Especially in a country where the voting system is so suspect. Same with North Korea.

You rail against all black people being lumped together and accused of being criminals because a minority of them are but you're more than happy to call every white person on the planet racist scum who profited from slavery even if you don't even know them and they don't have a pot to piss in.

R80.

White Americans don't care what the ramifications of literally hundreds of years and generations of terrorizing, brutalizing, and oppressing Black in every single walk of life (where they work, live, eat, go to school) no matter how trivial has had on Black people or the profound advantages that complete freedom and favoritism for whites during that same time has had for White people. White people desperately want to believe the delusion that they got everything in America because they worked hard and earned it, not that they were the massive recipients of racial Affirmative Action, which they were. If you take two children and you give one of them everything it ever wants and shower it with praise and support and give it the freedom to do what it wants and go where it wants, and you beat and demean and abuse the other child, restricting its every movement and punishing it severely if it crosses those restrictions, do you expect the two children to grow up to be the same even if you've raised them in the same house? And if the abused child manifests dysfunctional behavior, is it the child's fault or the fault of the abuser? Guess which child is White America and which child is Black America. By the way, we all know what kind of adults spoiled brats grow up to be, don't we?

White Americans don't care if there is racial discrimination against Black people. They're fine with it. They actually wouldn't have it any other way. They just don't want to hear about it. Have you ever heard a white person say, "How do you expect racism to go away if you won't stop talking about it?" It's an incredibly stupid and ignorant way to think. I mean, what social problem simply goes away if you stop talking about it? Drunk driving? Domestic abuse? Teen pregnancy? Drug abuse? But then I realized that the white people saying it actually believe it because in a sense it IS true for THEM. All white people ever have to do is HEAR about racism. If people stop talking about it, it really does go away -- for White people. Racism continues business-as-usual for Black people though.

R82 And who sold the blacks into slavery? Other blacks.

FYI only 1.4% of Americans owned slaves.

Can we talk about pretty privilege vs ugly privilege? I can get behind that as I am ugly.

R15 Okies were from Oklahoma, not Missouri. Hence, the name.

How much time did Ms. Morrison devote to the subject of Asian-Americans being attacked by black people. If were going to cover the subject of racism shouldn't we be all-inclusive.

r80, I guess I'll have to take a moment to explain what should be obvious: (Obvious mistakes and problems with grammar will be put in square brackets - a give away that the writer is of Slavic origin is the lack of or incorrect use of definite and indefinite articles which don't exist in Slavic languages)

"I would. A healthy and sane person should know better than to be bitter [this should be bitterly -adverbial form] jealous and collectively blame the whole race or nation for [missing a possessive pronoun] own misfortunes. And you are talking shit [I'm not talking, I'm writing] when you say that poor whites gained anything from the discrimination of blacks. They gained nothing [should be because, not cause] cause they have nothing.

The writer is not a native English speaker. It doesn't take a linguistic genius to recognize that. The people pretending otherwise are themselves trolls.

I didn't know that Menluvin was such a little Hitler.

I have in Texas been born, Menluvin.

R83, the answer to your question is "so what?" Do you think that somehow mitigates what white people did? Do you think because they got a "receipt" for the Africans they took that stealing human beings from their homeland is excused in some way? Who turned slavery into a global industry that displaced millions of Africans from their homes? It wasn't other Africans. Who is responsible for the millions of Africans who died chained in the hulls of slave ships or tossed overboard during the Middle Passage. White people like you are true psychopaths because you try to come up with feeble excuses to justify what was done and to exonerate white people from what they did. It doesn't matter how many Americans owned slaves. All white people benefitted from the slave industry for 200 years; an industry that built the railroads and planted the fields and built the monuments and buildings of this nation during its development. And how many white people benefitted from the century of Jim Crow favoritism for whites and enforced underdevelopment for Blacks that followed slavery? Stop looking for excuses R83. Accept the truth. You'll feel better.

R76, your grammar is horrible even for someone who supposedly has "in Texas been born," which makes me think you're lying and Menluvinguy is absolutely right about your national origin. However, your pig-ignorant, bigoted opinions are right in keeping with someone from Texas, so...

[quote]Do you think that somehow mitigates what white people did?

Sorry, but I have never owned slaves and had nothing to do with the slave industry.

Funny how no one ever talks about the original (and current) slavers.

r91, I suspect that r89 was making fun of r76, and that they're really not the same person.

R91 you idiot, you are incapable of getting the joke. How on earth could you understand the substance of my post at R76.

And you lack any self awareness that you don't even understand that you can't even see your own bigotry. Not only that you hate non Americans, but you even hate people for being born in a certain state in US. You are a Nazi and you are even unable to see it. The only difference is that you hate different groups of people than Nazi, well, in the case of Russians, the same as Hitler.

If you want to call it Critical Race Theory then you have to accept criticism about it. And those behind it don't. So let's just call it Race Theory, with emphasis on the theoretical.

[quote]Do you think that somehow mitigates what white people did? Do you think because they got a "receipt" for the Africans they took that stealing human beings from their homeland is excused in some way?

The fact that African tribal chiefs were selling their people to slavery doesn't change one bit what white slave traders and slave owners did, but it shows that Critical race theory is piece of shit and that people of all races are equally prone to exploitation of others human beings when they have the opportunity to.

Why is she teaching anything that isn't on the curriculum? Teachers don't get to do that. What if she pulled out a bible to teach lessons about Christianity? How would that be? Most of you would be screeching and clutching your pearls.

Many on this thread are too dim to understand the role of public school teachers. They don't get to go rogue, even if something they want to teach a political ideology that YOU happen to believe in.

R97 Why do white people like you so desperately want to excuse the oppression and bigotry that continues in the West by saying "oh, everybody does it." Everybody doesn't do it and even if they did, YOU STILL NEED TO STOP! Can't you get that through your thick skulls? You're why Critical Race Theory is SO clearly needed. Left to your own devices you wouldn't do shit to eliminate racism and the imbalances in society. What's your answer? NO ANSWER.

100!

[quote]FYI only 1.4% of Americans owned slaves.

And yet so many were willing to fight a war to keep it that way, and yet so many millions think we should preserve and also *revise* that history to celebrate that tradition with a white trash confederate flag.

All whites benefit from the low status of blacks

R104 God, you must be, not just bitter and jealous, one of the most stupid people on planet.

R105, and you, obviously, are another.

R104, your statement is absolutely true but there is bound to be dishonest morons on here who don't have the character to admit to the truth of it.

R104 believes blacks are "low status ".

Why don’t we discuss current events such how blacks are committing a disproportionate amount of the crimes?

Oooo, R109 is SO original!!!

God almighty, you idiot.

R110) So sorry I brought up an inconvenient truth. No it’s not original, but why isn’t this discussed in the black community responsibility taken and addressing it instead of always playing the victim?

[quote]All whites benefit from the low status of blacks

Tell me how I benefit, r104.

R111, it's not an inconvenient truth and it's a tiresome, lazy trope. You know why? Because dumbasses like you think that throughout history up until now, justice has been fairly served when it clearly hasn't. You're literally watching LE lie every fucking day in TX. You think that just started now? No, the only thing that has changed is that social media and people pay closer attention to their actions and words. They're finally being held accountable for the behavior when they used to just plant drugs or weapons to justify their arrests.

So when your stupid ass essentially said "Blacks commit more crimes" - yeah, that's usually the case when a black kid with weed goes to jail, but the white kid who raped a girl or killed a bunch of people while drunk driving, is given the benefit of the doubt and they never get to be counted as "criminals."

R113) As far as white kid vs black kid, the FBI statistics are broken down by offense. It may be a tired and lazy trop, but it is true. But as usual, playing the put upon victim.

The tires and lazy trope is that we break down crime stats by race, not by level of poverty.

This is because poverty is a societal choice and we would all be to blame.

[Quote] As far as white kid vs black kid, the FBI statistics are broken down by offense.

No they are broken down by conviction.

[Quote] Why don’t we discuss current events such how blacks are committing a disproportionate amount of the crimes?

Because the disproportionality is by poverty level

Good. I hope she never finds a teaching job again.

[quote] Why don’t we discuss current events such how blacks are committing a disproportionate amount of the crimes?

Why don't we begin by discussing why you are ignorant of the difference between "amount" and "number"?

[Quote] Good. I hope she never finds a teaching job again.

But you need teachers in Russia. You’re all so stupid

R120 Too bad it is not Stalinist era in Russia, she would fit in perfectly.

Good OP. What if a teacher takes it upon themselves to teach religion? Is there a curriculum or study guide or a textbook for CRT?

R114, you're still not getting it. I am telling you that a crime committed by a black kid is not treated as crime if some white, suburban kid commits that same crime and sometimes even worse crimes. Minor offenses in the black community are treated as major offenses. You think police never lie? You think prosecutors never lie? Go fucking look at the black guy on death row in MO where even with the evidence of innocence, the governor was ignoring it until social media caught wind of it.

Whatever stats you point to are just that - stats. You don't actually have all of the information on each one of those crimes. You have no fucking idea of how many times whites who committed that same crime were let off or had influence within that town's police dept.

[quote] All white people benefitted from the slave industry for 200 years; an industry that built the railroads and planted the fields and built the monuments and buildings of this nation during its development.

FYI all blacks in America are also benefitting from it.

Homicide statistics:

Sorry but in relation to population size, blacks out number everyone else for violent crime.

We're not talking weed here. We're talking homicide.

[quote]All white people benefitted from the slave industry for 200 years; an industry that built the railroads and planted the fields and built the monuments and buildings of this nation during its development.

15 states had slavery.

Fields were planted, monuments and buildings of this nation were built by plenty of ethnicities.

Chinese migrants were a large part of the workforce that built the transcontinental railroad.

And EVERYONE benefited from the brains that held the plans and know-how.

Don't rewrite history.

^Hey, don't forget about us. We died building the fucking railroads.

[quote] What if a teacher takes it upon themselves to teach religion? Is there a curriculum or study guide or a textbook for CRT?

We don't teach religion as fact because it's mythology. There is no textbook for CRT because no grade is teaching the law theory known as CRT. Teaching about racism is teaching American history.

[quote] FYI all blacks in America are also benefitting from it.

To a point but whites benefit far far more, especially with social status being above all blacks

But who will protect these children from the next mass shooter?

[quote] So when your stupid ass essentially said "Blacks commit more crimes" - yeah, that's usually the case when a black kid with weed goes to jail, but the white kid who raped a girl or killed a bunch of people while drunk driving, is given the benefit of the doubt and they never get to be counted as "criminals."

Bingo! This is also a reason to disallow the absence of a record being taken into consideration. Far too many people are let go or given a slap on the wrist for crimes that would get a poor or black/brown person immediate punishment. See the many Karens and Donalds over the last few years that have verbally & physically abused people and/or threatened people over wearing masks.

R128 a theory is a conjectural view, idea to explain a group of facts or phenomena and the same could be said of religion. Both History and Theology are subjects, but CRT involves imposing one's supposition to fact. And from your sketchy response it sounds as if various individuals are making it up as they go along.

R129 and you would benefit from the proper use of syntax. And how do whites benefit 'far far more' with regard to roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads . . . than other groups?

There's no doubt that this country discriminated against non-white people from the very founding. Native Americans, black people, Asian people - they all suffered from discrimination. Exhibit A is the Constitution, the blueprint for our system of government, in which black people were not even counted as a full-fledged human beings. Slavery, separate but equal during reconstruction, segregation, denial of voting rights, lynchings, school children being beaten when trying to attend "white schools", redlining unequal pay for equal work, colored drinking fountains, etc etc. These are part of our history. It is NOT critical race theory to teach about these injustices. In some states, it is now illegal to teach about these events because of the idiocy (that many posters in this thread are displaying), which says that teaching HISTORY is teaching Critical Race Theory. Many of these events took place as recently as 45 years ago, so within the lifetime of most of the posters on DL. Discrimination within the health care system and in school systems and in access to voting is ongoing.

The Texas Senate recently passed legislation that would ban schools from requiring staff to discuss or teach critical race theory. Under this bill topics such as white privilege, white supremacy, reparations, historical events and policies such as affirmative action, could not be discussed without violating the law in Texas. A very similar bill was passed in Idaho. So this is not "theoretical". This is boots-on-the-ground falsification of the history of our nation.

are the Irish white R133? Yet they were discriminated against when they came to the US. Your first sentence is both historically inaccurate and limited in its purview. So much for education!

Undoubtedly SOME Irish (particularly Irish Catholics) experienced discrimination when they came to this country, but Irish participation In the American Revolutionary War was extensive with Irish and Irish-American soldiers (especially Scotch Irish) constituting between 1/4 and 1/3 of the American Continental Army.* (see citation below) That included nearly 1,500 officers of Irish ancestry, among them 22 generals and more than a dozen sea captains. Just that fact alone negates your premise, r134, because the newly forming nation would not have bestowed these military ranks on a fully discriminated people.. I think it is you could do with a little more education...... * from the book: "How the Irish Won the American Revolution: A New Look at the Forgotten Heroes of America's War of Independence"

But I wouldn't deny that lots of groups arriving in America experienced discrimination for a generation or two, including the Irish Catholics who arrived after the potato famine of 1848 . However for immigrants whose appearance and skin color was close enough to the British and Germans who initially settled the US, that discrimination was never enshrined into law, unlike the laws that were specifically enacted to discriminate against Asians, native Americans, and black people.

Nope, it is not. Don't be am idiot. And don't lie. Historical facts of actual documented historical events are NOT illegal to teach. We all learned about lynchings, slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, etc. in school. What is not allowed is to teach is that white children born in this century are somehow responsible for it all.

R136 Nailed it. The problem of the theory is that it is racist. Imagine similar "critical" gender theory that would blame every male newborn child for the history of male opression and exploitation of women or "critical" sexuality theory that would shame any person who is attracted to opposite sex and proclaim them guilty of homophobia. Sick.

R125) Thanks for posting this, I was going to this morning. R136)Right on target. As far as white privilege goes, no such thing in this day and time. Class privilege definitely exists, but not white. Someone up thread mentioned the Appalachians. Has anyone seen this homes, how they live? People living in Section 8 housing have it far better than these folks. Other ethnic groups also have similar circumstances such as Native Americans, Hispanic, ect.

[Quote] Both History and Theology are subjects, but CRT involves imposing one's supposition to fact. And from your sketchy response it sounds as if various individuals are making it up as they go along.

The sketchiness is in the laws that forbid CRT. Note, the writers of the laws know very well that CRT is a legal theory and isn’t taught in grade schools. So, the laws themselves don’t actually mention anything about CRT—lots of vague “people shouldn’t be made to feel bad about themselves because of their race.”

Yes, the legislators are making it up as they go along. They know they need a win in the culture wars so make up one and create sketchy laws to apparently stop that war.

It’s the exact same with Don’t Say Gay

[Quote] Historical facts of actual documented historical events are NOT illegal to teach. We all learned about lynchings, slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, etc. in school. What is not allowed is to teach is that white children born in this century are somehow responsible for it all.

No one teaches that white children born today are responsible for it. What they want to teach is that lynchings, slavery, Jim Crow existed because of something that still exists today: racism. If we don’t. check our racist instincts, racism like we saw in the past will continue.

Of course the party of white supremacy doesn’t want any talk of racism, which is why it is passing these Don’t Say Black laws

If you think white privilege doesn't exist today, I'm sorry, you are in fact a god damned simpleton and you should be ashamed of yourself that you're so desperate to deny it.

The most stark example: The most stupid, corrupt, vile, loathsome pile of shit who knows less than nothing about the history, laws and most basic tenets of this country, became president of the United States. You think Obama could've been even half the repugnant things Trump was and win the presidency? ALL of the attacks on Obama were in the form of bigotry and racism specifically because he and his family couldn't have been more of a god damned Norman Rockwell painting.

That you can't even acknowledge something obvious and point to "Appalachia" is idiotic. No one is saying there aren't poor, white people. That has nothing to do with the fact that white people do in fact get the "benefit of the doubt" in a way others do not.

You want another example? Mass shootings. This most recent mass shooting is a rarity in that it's one of the very few times "mental illness" was used as an excuse for the shooter who wasn't white. Because there was so much focus on the guns, the types of people who would normally blame his race or religion as a whole, wanted to take focus off of the fact that an 18yo was allowed to buy the type of weapon that could only be used to slaughter. But normally, if the criminal isn't white, the same people who claim white privilege doesn't exist, would've made this about "immigration" or that "those people" are mostly violent. And people of that race or religion who had NOTHING to do with it, always have to hold their breath when they hear of a mass killing in the hopes that it wasn't someone of their race or religion, because they know they will get blamed - white people don't get that "privilege."

R141 Yet you have the great privilege to rant and whine and blame whities for all your misfortunes.

It teaches divisiveness. Is the theory couched in a historical perspective for context? Again, show me a course study guide!

[Quote] It teaches divisiveness. Is the theory couched in a historical perspective for context? Again, show me a course study guide!

World history is based on divisiveness. There is no course study guide because there is no such course as CRT in grade schools, no matter what the GOP wants you to believe

In Us history, the divisiveness is caused by whites who want power at all costs.

That’s what they don’t want you to learn about. White supremacy in action

R 145 Did you steal the lines from Mein Kampf and translated Jews in white?

R143, no one has to be taught “divisiveness.” Believing that students won’t notice racism if they are not taught about it is like believing that they will never think about sex if it isn’t mentioned.

R144 who said grade schools? My concern is what is being taught and how not where or when? Does it align across the curriculum with humanities, social studies and psychology? Is opinion being taught as fact? And what program of studies does not have a course of study guide with objectives and measurable outcomes?

R64 Your ignorance in justifying anti-black racism is so stupid.

You guys keep talking about the white working class and white poor people and are too stupid to realize they were protected to under white supremacy.

Black people were banned from living in Oregon until the 1920’s. Many places followed this because they didn’t want black people to take jobs away from poor whites and the working class.

And that still even holds true today in a contemporary form.

And this is why black American history is so important so you don’t feel so high and mighty saying dumb shit.

R147 You are naïve. These posters don't care about arguments. They are racists themselves, they just switched the colors.

And the white people in here saying “white privilege” was created by white people are some of the biggest racists. They can’t even give black people credit for understanding and analyzing racism.

No it wasn’t created by white liberals.

R151 You are plain stupid. If the idiot term "white privilege" had no been pushed by rich white liberals and their media nobody would give a shit about it.

R150 You don't care about discussion. You are too busy labeling people who hold a different POV from yours.

Labeling? The guy sounds like a reverse Hitler. But, whatever you want to believe.

I mean look at these people.

This is the master race lol lol

it's called propaganda R155 use a limited sample or specific to promote generalizations

Yes, R154 like labeling people as racist because they don't like Megan Markle

CRT is really just history.

Then why is the word theory in the title? R158

R155, easily the most laughable example is MTG and her "Anglo-Saxon" party. Bitch looks like someone defrosted her from the Ice Age and she's supposed to be the master race?

[Quote] no one has to be taught “divisiveness.” Believing that students won’t notice racism if they are not taught about it is like believing that they will never think about sex if it isn’t mentioned.

No one is teaching divisiveness. Now teachers are worried about teaching “both sides”— was the civil war about slavery or states rights? They’re even having to wonder about both sides of the Holocaust, per a district administrator in Texas.

Did you ever learn “White people today are bad because of Slavery?” I never did and either are kids today.

The GOP completely made this supposed problem up to scare parents and get votes

[Quote] Then why is the word theory in the title? [R158]

Academic theories are not theories as used colloquially. It’s not a guess but something with lots of evidence behind it.

There’s no such thing as an academic law except maybe in a science

The GOP is calling it CRT but they really mean you can’t teach about racism, because that makes white people look bad

R163, which is ironic because these same white people who bitch about "CRT" making white kids feel bad will be the first ones to collectively blame groups of non-white people for a lot of negative things. A stabbing by one brown guy is a dinnerbell for the same hypocrtical jackals worried about poor white people being blamed for slavery but it's fine to scream "terrorist" at the woman in Newark in a headscarf grocery shopping.

and how do you know what's being taught in schools R161? When was the last time you were in an academic setting?

R162 what evidence? Until you back it up with evidence it's just a theory?

Theories in science are also not guesses. When people say theory to mean baseless conjecture they are misusing the word theory. It means a framework of thinking about a given phenomenon. The "theory of evolution" is not "just a theory" either.

Keep teaching black they're victims.

And keep teaching white kids they're privileged.

Yeah, that'll improve things...

Keep teaching black kids they're victims.

And keep teaching white kids they're privileged.

Yeah, that'll improve things...

R168/R169, what are you, a moron liking your own stupid post twice?

[R168]/[R169], what are you, a moron liking your own stupid post twice?

For the moron at R171:

The double post was a mistake.

And NO, I did not like my own post and would never do such a thing. I couldn't care less about who likes it or not. But apparently there are those who do.

I know it was a double post, dumbass. And it was stupid both times.

For the record, I liked R172

You anti white black queens are just frustrated cause none of you black brothas are willing to fuck you, so you come ranting about evil whities on DL.

R173 = low IQ.

CRT as it is being called is really just history. History from a point of view. All history is told from a point of view. It is impossible for it to be otherwise. I recommend The Book The peoples history, by Howard Zinn.

That is true of scientific theories r167, but not academic theories. They are much more like the colloquial idea of theory, especially legal and historical theories. More or less convincing, but not really strictly tied to ALL the evidence, the way scientific theories are.

I liked R172 as well.

I like r172 for using the correct "couldn't care less" and not the execrable alternative.

I liked you for saying that., R180.

No, r176. Low IQ would be engaging in hyperbole where you think white kids are being taught in school that they are privileged and that black people are constantly being told they're victims.

When you witness an over-qualified black woman considered for the Supreme Court being attacked as someone "unqualified" and "radical" (ya know, the buzzwords they use for black people to paint them as dastardly), while the white woman who came before her had no where near the qualifications of the former, no one needs to be taught about privilege when they constantly witness it.

[Quote] and how do you know what's being taught in schools [R161]? When was the last time you were in an academic setting?

The same time that the GOP legislators who created their anti CRT laws did

[Quote] what evidence? Until you back it up with evidence it's just a theory?

Look up CRT legal theory and you might have a better idea of what the fuck we’re talking about because you obviously dont

[Quote] Keep teaching black kids they're victims. And keep teaching white kids they're privileged. Yeah, that'll improve things...

Keep pretending there’s no racism. Yeah, that’ll improve things…for white people

[quote]When you witness an over-qualified black woman considered for the Supreme Court being attacked as someone "unqualified" and "radical"

Did you see the Kavanaugh hearings?

Maybe Kavanaugh shouldn’t have tried to rape a girl

R186, the irony being you just proved white privilege exists with that response. Are you seriously bringing him up and thinking that's analogous to KBJ?

So you just pretend what R187 points out didn't have validity and that KBJ being painted as some "radical" when even conservative judges came out to say they were disgusted by the way she had been treated, are the same situation?

R188 Maybe Kavanaugh shouldn’t have tried to rape a girl

Oh please. There were so many holes in that story. An incident that supposedly happened 35 years ago.

Get laid much R184 you type INCEL

PS R184 just a theory

Julliard should institute a course on CRT Critical Rap Theory to theorize why is there so much more violence and death in Rap compared to jazz, country, rock . . .is there something in the music or is it cultural or both

R189, she had to move due to death threats, so tell us how it was advantageous for her to come forward? He has a history of questionable behavior.

Including a large sum of money paying off his lifestyle...

[quote]He has a history of questionable behavior.

Yeah questionable behavior in HIGH SCHOOL.

R193 And you really think if Ketanji Brown Jackson had been white the Republicans would not have torn into her?

You're a fool. But of course with you...it's ALWAYS about race.

R196, it WAS about race when they questioned her and when Tucker Carlson talked about her. They literally tried to connect her to CRT and "anti-racism books." So yes, "it's always about race" when they bring up race, genius.

Cruz -being the shit he always is- used a quick mention of CRT in a speech she once gave and just went into bizarre territory along with every other fucking Republican. If she were white, they wouldn't have attacked her based on race or attempt to in some way question her qualifications because she is a black woman.

R197 They would have tried ANYTHING...whether she was black or white. Just like questioning Kavanaugh about his high school year book. That's what the opposition does.

Everything the Dems thought of the conservative nominees has come true.

Are you even fucking gay? WTF is wrong with you defending someone like Kavanaugh. Jesus Christ.

R200 No where am I defending Kavanaugh. Jesus Christ.

What I am doing is pointing out that whether it's the Dems or the Republicans they are going to go after the jugular.

If Kavanaugh had been black...you'd be whining about the meanies questioning him about his drinking in high school and blaming it on racism. Because that's what you do.

R201, you keep pointing to Kavanaugh. How was Gorsuch treated? Once you realize the difference in how two different white men were treated, it might occur to you that Kavanaugh wasn't targeted based on race but solely on his past behavior.

You have to constantly use a hypothetical by saying "if he were black" because you can't actually point to any black nominees being treated that way since there haven't been any since Thomas. You can however point to the first black president being treated that way based on race.

WHITE PRIVILEGE/BLACK MEN. CRT= CRITICAL RAPE THEORY

Fooballer/movie star Jim Brown who Spike Lee made an adulatory documentary about titled Jim Brown All American. Brown had multiple accusations of rape and assault charges from 1965-1985 and in 1986 charges of making terroristic threats against his wife. Brown never served any jail time and was charged was a misdemeanor.

and Bill Cosby? How much time did he spend in jail?

And what of the late lamented Kobe Bryant who had a rape charge filed against in 2003 by a 19-year-old who was working at a hotel in Colorado? Saint Bryant initially denied having sex with the woman but changed his story when he told there was physical evidence. The criminal case was dropped, and the accuser filed a civil lawsuit which was settled out of court.

R202 Anita Hill was a more credible witness (and person) than Christine Blasey Fraud whose testimony was based on recovered memories decades after the alleged incident. Thomas had been Hill's supervisor so there was a provable history of contact between the two.

and what about 'brewskies'? -Corey Booker

and what about Rosaria Dawson?

R183 I was asking about you

Idiots defending Kavanaugh as though it were only Ford's testimony. 100 people who attended Yale with him ready to testify about bad behavior they WITNESSED - their testimony was not allowed to be heard. Large personal debts mysteriously paid off a few years before his nomination with no evidence that his income could have paid them. Yale roommates ready to testify that he frequently drank until he got sick and blacked out. His unhinged behavior during his hearings - compared to the calm demeanor of Jackson as vile and untrue accusations were fired at her.

The is a species of primate on this planet called "sapiens" and they started in Africa with dark skin because the UV light is really powerful there, but the UV is is powerful the further north of south you go and it turns out that the primate needs UV light to touch it's skin so that it can create vitamin D!! So over years the primates that moved north of south had to change their skin pigmentation to calibrate to the latitude they ended up at.

Thousands of years later, morons would pretend that "race" is a real biological concept and not 100% invented by the sapiens who love to bitch and fight. Thanks assholes!

R207 and did this behavior occur while Kavanaugh was in a position of authority? Were charges ever filed against him by anyone at the time?

Broaddrick ^ sorry for the misspelling Juanita

r201 in the *Violent MAGA and Proud Boys RIOTS and TERRORIST ATTACK in the Capitol - PART 6*

[quote][quote]Fox News didnt show that [R66]. I checked and not surprised, they just filled the air with commercials and changed the subject.

R211 And you're an idiot. Too dumb to understand my point.

R207=old crone

Here's a review that will bring those not up to date with the culture battle as to what's going on.

Rr182, the black woman does not even know a what a woman is. Looks like she might be book smart smart, but is dumb or playing dumb.
