Does Critical Race Theory make you uncomfortable? Good. You’re learning something.

Teach this history and get back to me, Kyliefan. What? That discriminates? Welcome to CRT, hypocrite.

I’ll try something different — step off of my soapbox and let you hold the floor.

What do you think your chart shows evidence of?

In a Hollywood movie, you'd be the 'white savior' trope. Racism is bad, m'kay? Regardless who it's directed at.

If racism is bad regardless of who does it, then surely you wouldn’t object to frank and open discussion of how centuries of anti-black racism (slavery, Jim Crow) have disadvantaged blacks to the point of creating a yawning racial wealth gap — one thing that might be driving the crime trends you noted?

You wouldn’t support hyperpartisan efforts by Republicans across U.S. states to shut down CRT, invading teachers’ professional judgments about what course material to teach, and curbing principles of free speech in the classroom?

Poor white communities have nowhere near the crime rates, so try again.

Not when they are pushing generational guilt and racism. Good for those Republicans.

Now do East Indians, Nigerians and all the other ethnic groups that average a higher average income than white Americans. Oh wait, that would destroy your narrative.

Sub-groups — yeah! Intersectionality!

What sets “Nigerian immigrants” apart from African-American ancestors of slaves who may have been born in Nigeria or other West African countries?

The fact they immigrated to the states *voluntarily* and weren’t brought over as slave labor.

To the extent those sub-populations of black Americans immigrated to the U.S. after slavery and Jim Crow, they weren’t subject to the same historical abuses and deprivations as the ancestors of slaves.

They’re still subjected to modern-day racism, no doubt. If they are still relatively successful in spite of it, good for them!

I bet they still get pulled over by cops more often.

So now racism ISN'T an impediment? Wow.

Nigerians that immigrate are the smartest that want to leave a sad country. I can't blame them but it contributes to a brain drain which hurts their country of origin, which you could care less about.

Yet I haven't seen Nigerians resisting arrest and fighting cops if they do. Imagine that!

Nice deflection to slavery tho. No living black person in the US has experienced it. Unless they fled from Africa after it sprung up in Libya after Obama f**ked them.

“Racism” really compresses three discrete periods of injustice against Black Americans into one word.

Slavery and Jim Crow were state-sanctioned, institutional periods of racism that were worse than what we're seeing today. Today, racism isn’t *officially* tolerated, although it still continues.

Black families who immigrated to the U.S. after the Civil Rights period at least didn’t have to suffer the first two.

You're right. Affirmative action still exists. The only racist policy on the books. Well, until Biden's plan to compensate black farmers, discriminating against white farmers goes through or not.

Yeah and neither did any blacks today, besides the elderly. Dude, I contributed to the united negro college fund as a kid. Mowed many a lawn lol. Let's give up the victim narrative and move on. It doesn't help anyone to push a narrative that one is a victim. Especially in America. You just admitted Nigerians are successful despite any perceived slight. Yet you push CRT. IRONIC

Out of control crime excused by liberals. Read it. 13% of the population responsible for 53% of murders. That's 2016, it's even worse now. So if TRUTH is what you value, why isn't it taught in schools? Oh right, because black schoolchildren aren't responsible for it. Just like white kids and your CRT guilt. You claim to be antiracist, yet you push generational guilt on one race. It's not like history hasn't been taught for decades. For shame.

If I showed you evidence that blacks in the U.S. are incarcerated at higher rates than whites, what about that would lead you to conclude that blacks are being “excused” for crimes they commit — by liberals or anyone else?

Yeah, they commit crime at an unproportional level above their representation. Sorry if they get jailed. That's life. You guys excuse it and, like LeBron, pretend black males 'are hunted down in the streets'. I wouldn't even harp on it except for this blm narrative ignoring the fact 90% of black murder victims are killed by blacks and the victimhood routine.

We don’t excuse it — we object to how it’s talked about, and how blacks are portrayed as inherently murderous thugs. It drives policy, it drives resource allocation, it drives business investment, it perpetuates the very inequalities that cause crime in the first place.

Most blacks are killed by blacks, and most whites are killed by whites: a foreseeable consequence of living in a society that’s still racially segregated.

Yet we tend to only hear about “black-on-black” crime. Why is that?

Too bad however that "critical race theory" doesn't address all of the current black on black violence that dwarfs anything these racist race merchants are trying to claim against white people with all this racist inspired "white supremacy", "white privilege" trash.
That and "critical race theory" is a bunch of propagandizing bullshit peddled by these Marxist founders of Black Lives Matter who seem to be enriching themselves at the expense of their own people while contributing not a damn thing back into any of these black communities they claim to represent.
Being racist against another person based solely on their color is asinine.
None of us are defined by our color, but rather our humanity and what we're taught as we develop and grow to maturity.
It's patently obvious by the actions of all these radical Leftists who have contaminated our education system, teaching hate and the lies associated with their insidious agendas has turned public education into a corrupt and failed system.
Which otherwise translated means it's just one more thing these vermin touch that gets turned into shit.

FIFY

Not sure what hate-filled race-agitating leftists studied, but normal people DID study history in school in all its grit, glory, and grimy parts. What they did NOT DO was suffer through Marxist style racial idelogical programming in the name of advancing a leftist POLITICAL WOKE agenda.

Come again?

If you aimed to demonstrate that your view of history is clear-eyed and free of political jargon, clichés, and oversimplifications, I’m afraid you failed

Stop conflating history, even US history during the Jim Crow era (who were the ones pushing those policies by the way?) with Critical Race Theory. That's a disingenuous argument to make and I want to believe you are intelligent enough to realize that.

The only thing Critical Race Theory teaches is division... division that weakens our nation and blinds our future generations. Critical Race Theorist are literally rewriting history in the form of the 1619 Project. They even admit it's a reimagining! You want to learn about Black history in America? Crack a book... it's there... and we're proud to have played a part.

They really want to push this obvious racism as 'teaching history'. Yet no race but Caucasians would dare be singled out. True hypocrisy. And they are pushing it on children. Adults are mature enough to understand it, children aren't. They always target the children.

If you get them young enough, they won't even realize there's another side to the conversation.

I'm no fan of Quillette but here's an interesting article from 2007: https://quillette.com/2017/12/17/get-em-theyre-young.

It's a surprisingly good critique... though the implications are kind of sickening.

That's a Jesuit tenet. It's why the UN wants 2 yo's in school.

There is your false narrative. Histroy should be based on facts. Not "how it makes you feel".
