It's almost like they know and don't want to it to stop

You should post this to politicsTOO AND politics

If you want to repost, be my guest. I have no intention of trying to wade through that racist swamp again.

Attacking people based solely on the color of their skin is racist period. CRT is racism period.

While I agree with your statement that attacking people because of the color of their skin is wrong, your statement about CRT is also wrong.

You should spend some time reading about it so you can learn facts instead of the BS sundae you've been spoonfed.

Then you haven't read enough and failed to learn from what you did read.

And yet all of those people live in a society built by slavers to further enrich their own decendants and people like them at the expense of anyone not like them.

To this day.

Until we acknowledge that this happened and that the systems they designed for oppression still operate, we cannot change anything.

Oh, no! The ultimate gotcha question. There's no way I can answer "if systemic racism is real, what about black mayors?", it's impossible!

Oh, wait. I can answer.

Just because you won an election doesn't mean that all the people staffing and enabling that system instantly and wllfully change their behavior. It's hard to get a group of people to change doing 1 thing like coversheets for TPS reports, let alone "how it's done."

Also, here's a great article by the Atlantic on this exact subject.

Here's how that reads "IT'S NOT MY FAULT. IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU NEED TO CHANGE! NOT ME! NOT ME! I'M NOT THE PROBLEM HERE!!! YOU ARE!"

Which is exactly what CRT is about. How the system we live in was built by racists people to oppress others to their benefit and refusing to acknowledge that and remain silent about it is what allows that system to persist.

You were raised in this system. You have benefited from this system. Your continued support of the system allows it to continue.

Until you can acknowledge that, nothing will change. It will continue.
