That is not where progress happens. Progress doesn't happen by keeping things the same all of the time. Look at businesses-do they not come out with a new an improved product all of the time? Why should not the United States do the same? Y'all voted for a business man but you wanted things to go back to the old product-saying "Its good enough"
Priceless
If you support the censorship advocated by Ibram X. Kendi, what you say above applies to you, Mirah. You're wanting to have your cake, and eat it, too, but you can't because it is literally impossible. Additionally, your assumptions are baseless because I do not deny that racism has, and still does, exist. What you're advocating is the imposition of "progress", which is violence -- in this case being justified by historical and alleged injustices, which is perfectly in keeping with the mentality of the Old Testament. The hypocrisy is almost unprecedented, as there is no consistency with respect to racial stereotypes, which are deemed to be acceptable if -- and only if -- they are directed at whites, e.g., "white fragility", or "white supremacy", which is a clear indication of moral bankruptcy. Inconsistency is one of the primary hallmarks of corruption. Which is sad because censorship and inconsistency precludes peaceful resolution of this conflict.

Some teachers have quit their jobs because this nutty CRT training crap that is mandatory is basically anti-white harassment. De humanization of whites and encourages hatred of whites.
problems
This stuff is creating a huge divide in America.

How about this perspective instead. I think this is something people here can agree with.

It means nothing unless you define the terms, so again, are Jews "white"? Are black billionaires "white"?

You make a good point.
I don't like generalizations like that-but I thought it was at least closer to a common ground than the disagreement of critical race theory anyway.
And just because there are a few rich or succesful black or brown people does not mean systemic racism isn't happening.

Why the fuck would I agree with that? I send my kids to school to learn reading, writing, math, science, social studies and history, not the fucking teacher's opinion on racism.

Okay.
But hey wait-what do they learn in social studies? And what about the history? I thought we were going to just take history out of schools since no one can agree on it.
Better just stick to english, math and science.

The economic disparity in the 1% is greater than the disparity in the 99% -- far greater. When you get to the very top of the food chain, the apex predators are probably something like .001% of the global population. That's the nut that has to be cracked if this world is to be humanized, and it should be cracked. But if you're wondering who it is that's funding groups like BLM, I guarantee you it's the apex predators, because that is precisely how they roll. Trotsky left New York City for Petrograd with $50,000 worth of gold, which was a king's ransom in those days. And the song remains the same.

Maybe just teach it as always. Black history and social studies does not involve teaching white students how they currently have it better than blacks and how to fight against it.

Why should activists and people like you determine what my child needs to learn in school all of the sudden?

Today a knee jerk thing is going on, just wait in a few months something else will come along. The mentality is strenuous and exasperating. This is today's new virtue signaling. Until a new drastic uprising is signaled. The attention span is almost nill and the conclusion is very often never considered.

How exactly do they plan on teaching a bunch of low income disadvantaged white people critical race theory anyway? They're in the same fucking boat, why would they even care? Is the white guy working a crap job supposed to go home feeling bad for his black co-worker?

Are the bunch of low income disadvantaged white people you refer to working on their doctorate or studying for a degree in criminology?

You're talking about the party you identify with, the same people who are clutching their pearls over something that isn't even happening nor will ever happen. YOU started this thread.
