My only question is are these people doing this oblivious to their hypocrisy? Or they know and are deliberately doing it out of shear evil.
3 ups, 2y
It's called doublethink. So not only are they oblivious to it, the literally are incapable of seeing it when it is explained step by step how they are being hypocrites.

Why do you think that a Conservative would say that, when he is pointing out that it is your side doing it?

Your side demands that every perversion of human kind be accepted as good and right and assert that those that do not are evil.

Can someone explain to me why they think we need ethnic muppets on Sesame street? There are real human people on sesame street. Wouldn't a real human person be a better form of representation anyhow? And how does one indicate ethnicity on a muppet without resorting to stereotypes?

Exactly. As far as I know growing up, "muppet" IS a race.

Ever since MLK the goal was to not let skin color affect your opinion of other people. Ever since Critical Race Theory that has been stood on end. It is all about skin color now and if your skin color is too light then your life does not matter. Only darker skinned people lives matter.

The left has swung back to full racism mode again, they just switched who they hate. Just watch any crime TV show these days, like FBI or Law and Order. They all have a person of color being excluded from something by a white person. In real life that just does not happen, not even close to the level they portray it. But if your entire world revolves around TV then you just assume that is what is happening outside your front door. Racism still happens but not even close to how it is portrayed in the media. But perception is reality in most people and that perception is being used as a tool to divide this nation.

Did you read about Boston's mayoral election? An Asian American woman beat out 3 African Americans and won. NPR called it a disappointment b/c she ain't black.

To blacks, only black lives matter. I used that story to wake up many of my liberal Asian American friends, who ironically are in Boston.

I didn't hear about that but Asians are increasingly getting lumped in with whites by the racist left.

And the only black lives that matter are any dead black person who can be used for political advantage. If BLM (the organization, not the movement) can use a dead black person to cause riots and get donations then they will. After that they could not care less about any black's life.

It's an anti-liberal theory that attempts to explain the perpetuation of racism after African-Americans have won Civil Rights, recognizing systemic institutional racism as the primary factor in producing outcomes unfavorable to racial minorities while upholding favorability and privilege to white people. Very controversial, I know.

That's the glossy cover photo. It is like an ad for McDonald's. That hamburger looks sooooo good on the ad but when you get there it looks like it has been stepped on. And even more like the McDonald's ad, the burger you see in the image isn't even edible. It is made up of none edible material so that it can be photographed for hours without anything wilting, drooping, dripping or looking old.

Before CRT there was CT (Critical Theory). CT is a variation on Karl Marx's idea of the class system with the proletariat being the workers and the bourgeoisie being the employers and business owners. CT expanded on that oppressed/oppressor to the rich vs the poor.

CRT changes that from rich vs poor to white vs everyone else. Whites are the oppressors and everyone else are the oppressed.

In none of the scenarios, from Marx to CRT, does anyone ever ask if anyone is being oppressed or if the oppressors are actually oppressing anyone. That question must be avoided or the entire house of cards falls to the ground. You are just supposed to believe it.

And boy oh boy do the followers of this tyranny believe it. It is the gospel truth. If someone is branded an oppressor then there is no escaping that label.

What is being taught to young school children is that whites are racists and bad. This does wonders for the self esteem of young white kids, said no one ever. This also sets up a situation where future generations of non-whites will actually become oppressors and whites will be oppressed. But not to worry, that won't last long because once the ruling class force equity on the collective the entire country (or rather the world) will be oppressed equally.

CRT is full of the same lies and BS as the 1619 Project and everything else Marxist guzzle down.

What's funny is that cons cry CRT is racist against whites, yet have gotten teachers fired over accusations of teaching CRT, which are usually untrue as it is a college-level theory, and this even included a black principal who conservatives also made the school have him take down pictures on Facebook of him kissing his white wife. The hypocrisy is unreal.

This is really about white fragility. CRT does not instill racism into anyone, it just reinforces things we already know: whiteness is embedded into our institutions and it harms racial minorities. It blames institutions, not individuals.

This country's history has been defined by whiteness and the reinforcement of a white majority and economic and political rights in favor of white people against people of color. To suggest CRT is going to turn that around and place people of color on top is stupid. I'm sure they would much rather do away with hierarchies of this sort altogether (it's why communists want to abolish class rule, not reinforce it).

Where did you get this idea that conservatives are trying to get teachers fired. That's news to me. All I have been hearing is that they are trying to get CRT out of the schools.

From everything that I have read it is being taught to elementary school kids. I am not surprised because the left has been indoctrinating school kids for decades. Even way back when I was in school there was occasionally some bit of leftist dogma being taught. However, I went to school in California and that is probably part of the problem.

White fragility??? So you guys are supposed to teach our kids that they are the cause of the world's problems and if we complain you call it "white fragility"??? That is not fragility, that is stop destroying the self esteem of our children by teaching lies.

This country is already divided enough. Why on earth would we want to teach kids Marxist lies to further divide this nation?

CRT is racist. It is teaching kids that it is okay to hate white people just because of their skin color. That is what CRT is all about.

You tell me that CRT is not racist then you end your comments with nothing but racism. You are saying exactly what you are denying exists in CRT. You are blathering on about how history is white, politics is white, everything is white. That is such racist drivel. It is just as accurate as the things Democrats used to (and still do) say about blacks. Everything you just said was based on race.

There is no white history, there is only history. There is no white politics, there is only politics. Politics is either left or right but it is never white or black.

Hierarchies naturally exist in a free society and it is not a bad thing. In Communism it doesn't exist because everyone is equally impoverished. No one is allowed to rise above another. Incentive to be successful is destroyed in communism. That is why in every communist regime work quotas are set and enforced by the state. Communism just does not understand, nor does it care to understand, human nature. It seeks to impose it's will on everyone. It is slavery.

In a video shared online, "Sesame Street" star Elmo meets Elijah and Wes, a Black father and son who are sitting on the bench in the park. After discussing the colors of the leaves and how the red ones match Elmo's fur and the brown ones match Wes' skin, Elmo asks why Wes' skin is brown.

Elijah responds by explaining that the more melanin someone has, the "darker your skin looks."

"The color of our skin is an important part of who we are," Elijah tells Elmo. "But we should all know that it's OK that we all look different in so very, many ways."

"Things on the outside like our skin color or our hair texture or noses, our smiles and eyes make us who we are. Many people call this race," Elijah continues. "But even though we look different, we're all part of the human race."

Man if MLK heard about this he would probably be...... snoring in his grave.

Democrats are the only people obsessed with the color of someone's skin on a mass scale. They believe that skin color defines who you are and what you'll be able to do in life.

Sesame Street is celebrating diversity, something I doubt Dr. King wouldn’t have celebrated too, and you’re accusing them of judging based on race when they clearly aren’t?

So, how exactly does one indicate ethnicity on a muppet without resorting to stereotypes?
And there are real people on sesame street. Wouldn't representation by a real person be far better than a made up muppet.
