>> In review: I invest a couple of dozen posts trying to get you to tell me just what it is about "CRT" that you don't want taught in schools while you continue to wander and flail and rant about "CRT" being nonsense and hate inducing but fail to come up with a single solid example of what, if taught, would qualify for either category.
I think I've posted a youtube that explains as well as any person could; perhaps you didn't watch it. Take a few minutes and allow this guy to explain it.
It that example is too shallow for you, you're not wiling to hear what someone who clearly knows is saying. You're closing your mind to truth. Don't do that.
Here is the fundamental problem: CRT teaches that our lives, our relationships, our transactional dealings with others, EVERYTHING, is infused with racism. That, simply put, is a polar opposite of the truth.
It teaches as a premise for the entire subject, that "racism is ordinary, not aberrational—‘normal science,’ the usual way society does business, the common, everyday experience of most people of color in this country . . .” (Critical Race Theory, an Introduction, Degado and Stefancic, Page 7)
This core tenet is objectively false. No one walks around believing that today. When I deal with someone in a store or at the post office, or wherever, they are not thinking that, and I'm sure not. That is just a damned lie. Yet, this is the material being taught that will ultimately make its way to our kids' classrooms. I'm going to an oral surgeon next week who is black (this would be a man who is both a dentist and a surgery specialist, for those who don't get the implication). Do you ACTUALLY THINK he looks at me as some evil white guy or in the context of his having been robbed of opportunity? You believe that shit?
Do I think of him as less qualified or less desirable because he is black? Shit no. He's the guy I decided to use for this (unfortunately for me) pretty routine procedure. I CHOSE him from all the oral surgeons available in my area. Why would I do that if I had some issue with it?
I'm certain you have no issue in dealing with black folks in business, either. So, the designers of CRT, the very people who brought it to the forefront, made false claims about the relevance and the extent of CRT's effect on people (notably black people) is just a false premise.
