"When a teacher "explains" that racism is "institutional" and everywhere you look, you are saying to black children that whitey cannot be a friend because he's an enemy." Wait a minute- "whitey" is only the enemy if "whitey" would like to close his Node-y little eyes and ignore the racism and tell the black children, "We can't look at that, because you won't like me any more." What whitey needs to do is get a fucking clue and work to end the systemic institutional racism that benefits whitey and work shoulder to shoulder with their black friends and colleagues to do it- you know, like the civil rights workers did in the South. I don't remember "blacky" hating "whitey" for coming to help in Selma. I remember lots of "whiteys" pissed as hell about the whole project though. Maybe don't be a racist fucking whitey and the little black children won't hate you- because you won't deserve it.

>> You also mention that Black GI's didn't get to participate fully in that in part due to systemic racism (as discussed previously on this board), which partially explains why Blacks today are worse off than Whites. I have tried to write something I thought might make sense to some of you. I started earlier today and thought I'd come back to it. And I just don't think it is possible for the leftists on this thread to grasp the concepts. Even though you think k-12 students can in the minutes allotted for it. There is no evidence of systemic racism today, and if there were you could point to at least some evidence of systemic racism today. You cannot. Saying it exists is not the same as it actually existing. CRT is not the same as proving systemic racism exists. There is simply no credible evidence that it exists. So, it is NEVER okay to claim to students that it does. Unless, of course, you can present ironclad proof. You can't. If you think you can, fine, you try it, and I will explain to you the fallacy in your claim if I have time. You can point to evidence it existed 100, 80, even 60 years ago. You can point to various mitigation strategies that were a total failures that exacerbated the problems, dumped on the Black community that ended up deferring progress.
