Did Q Baby hurt your fragile feelings too, precious? 

And we’re back to the precious feelings thing. You seem to think that  that comment makes some sort of an impact on people. They might have worked in junior high but not in the adult world....bro.

It's his standard fall-back when he's got nothing.

 

Meanwhile..............Putting a marxist spin on all U.S. history via Critical Race Theory is wrong, and people are waking up to that.

But I like calling you Q Baby. Not sure why you think that’s immature...it’s a decent enough synonym.

You still not going to provide a practical application of CRT on the Tulsa Massacre? If that example is too sensitive you can try other examples. 
 

Would be great for you to share a real life example of how awful CRT is. We would all appreciate.

 

Oh wait - you “got nothing” ???

There will never be any excuse for the  Tulsa Massacre , I'm very ashamed of the white people of Tulsa . They need to make amends for that terrible crime.

"Authoritarian Mullet" is my new favorite political term. 

(Culture war in the front, the destruction of democracy in the back.)
 

Little Fires Everywhere

 

Trump may be out of office, but the GOP's campaign to limit voting rights, free speech, and reproductive rights is still in full-swing. On this week’s On the Media, where do you focus your attention when there are little fires everywhere? Plus, a look at a chilling new look for America: the "authoritarian mullet" — culture war in the front, the destruction of democracy in the back. And, how critical race theory became a right-wing bogeyman.

That’s exactly it. They’re going with what worked in past midterm elections, but there really isn’t any reason to believe that will continue to work when everyone is hyper-focused on politics.

 

it hasn’t worked since 2010.

I am glad that you asked.

 

Critical race theory has stirred controversy in the United States since the 1980s for deviating from the ideal of color blindness and promoting the use of narrative in legal studies

 

 

Critical race theory (CRT), intellectual movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.

 

Critical race theory (CRT) was officially organized in 1989, at the first annual Workshop on Critical Race Theory, though its intellectual origins go back much farther, to the 1960s and ’70s. Its immediate precursor was the critical legal studies (CLS) movement, which dedicated itself to examining how the law and legal institutions serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and marginalized. (CLS, an offshoot of Marxist-oriented critical theory, may also be viewed as a radicalization of early 20th-century legal realism, a school of legal philosophy according to which judicial decision making, especially at the appellate level, is influenced as much by nonlegal—political or ideological—factors as by precedent and principles of legal reasoning.

What critical race theory is really about

By Christopher F. Rufo

 

Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it — and of those who have, many don’t understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.

 

To explain critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism.

 

Originally, the Marxist left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Karl Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: The workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class and usher in a new socialist society.

 

{snip}

 

Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s and built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions over the past decade. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks and school curricula.

 

Its supporters deploy a series of euphemisms to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion” and “culturally responsive teaching.”

Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds nonthreatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality. But the distinction is vast and important. Indeed, critical race theorists explicitly reject equality — the principle proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, defended in the Civil War and codified into law with the 14th and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. To them, equality represents “mere nondiscrimination” and provides “camouflage” for white supremacy, patriarchy and oppression.

 

In contrast to equality, equity as defined and promoted by critical race theorists is little more than reformulated Marxism. In the name of equity, UCLA law professor and critical race theorist Cheryl Harris has proposed suspending private property rights, seizing land and wealth and redistributing them along racial lines.

 

Critical race guru Ibram X. Kendi, who directs the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, has proposed the creation of a federal Department of Antiracism. This department would be independent of (i.e., unaccountable to) the elected branches of government and would have the power to nullify, veto or abolish any law at any level of government and curtail the speech of political leaders and others deemed insufficiently “antiracist.”

 

One practical result of the creation of such a department would be the overthrow of capitalism, since, according to Kendi, “in order to truly be antiracist, you also have to truly be anticapitalist.”

 

In other words, identity is the means; Marxism is the end.

LOL, this is just wacko. A department for controlling speech? 

 

What is the status of that effort? Is it moving through Congress? 

 

These authors just strung together from disparate sources a serious of nutty comments and said that is what the whole thing is? 

 

Can you show the school curriculum  that is teaching this or anything like it?

It's pushed by the dems and other leftists, ergo, marxist. The only marxism I'm for is for Chico, Groucho and Harpo.

No.

 

I will not "show" you.....................again.

 

This thread, and the racist thread is filled with examples of the CRT being taught in schools across the country, as well as all the parents concerned about their kids being filled with propaganda instead of knowledge.

 

You really need to open your self to other views Tibs.

 

 

 

 

 

[B-Man]

Critical Race Theory opponents have never given a single indication that their goal is to whitewash racially motivated crimes.

 

Their goal is to ensure that their children don’t grow up in a world that tells them they’re irredeemable unless they hate themselves.
