Integration should be when both white and black systems were dismantled for a more United system. But no. All that happened is that white people just agreed not to be oppressive. Did nothing to help us rise

[@justahuman.210]

Why ?

[@afgone]

The following is from Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement. This shows how CRT unequivocally promotes racism and segregation. “The first is to understand the regime of white supremacy and its subordination of people of color, which has been created and maintained in America, and in particular to examine the relationship that the social structure and professed ideals such as “the rule of law” and “equal protection.” The second is a desire to not merely understand the vexed bond between law and racial power - but to change it.” “This mainstream civil rights discourse on “race relations” was constructed this way partly as a defense against the more radical ideologies of racial liberation presented by the Black nationalists and Black Consciousness movements of the ‘60s and the early ‘70s. In the construction of “racism” as an irrational and backwards bias of believing that someone’s race is important, the American cultural mainstream neatly linked the Black left to the white racist right according to this quickly concealed consensus, because race consciousness characterized both white supremacists and black nationalists both as racist.” “With its explicit embrace of racial consciousness, Critical Race Theory aims to reexamine the terms by which race and racism have been negotiated in American consciousness, and to recover and revitalize the radical tradition of race consciousness among African-Americans and other peoples of color. A tradition that was discarded when integration, assimilation, and the ideal of “colorblindness” became the official norms of the racial enlightenment.” “A predominantly white left emerged on the law school scene in the late ‘70s, a development which played a central role in the genesis of Critical Race Theory. Organized by a collection of Neo-Marxists intellectuals, former New Left activists, Ex-Counter Culturalists, and other varieties of oppositionists in law schools - the Conference on Critical Legal Studies established itself as a network of openly leftist Law teachers, students, and practitioners committed to exposing and challenging the ways American law served to legitimize an oppressive social order.” “Critical Race Theory indicates how and why the contemporary “Jurisprudence of color-blind-ness” is not only the expression of a particular color-consciousness, but the product of a deeply politicized choice.” “The colorblind assimilationist ideal seeks homogeneity in a society rather than diversity. Such an ideal neglects the positive aspects of race, particularly the cultural components that distinguish us from one another. It may not be a desirable result those cultural components to be subsumed into a society that recognizes commonalities. The assimilationist colorblind ignores and thereby devalues Culturerace. The successful abolition of “Black” as a meaningful concept would require abolishing the distinctiveness that we attribute the Black community, culture, and consciousness. The abolition of a people’s culture is by definition cultural genocide. In short, assimilation as a societal goal, has grave political consequences for Black and other non-whites.” It is a pro-segregation ideology for black people - similar to the Nation of Islam.

A little background: My beautiful mother and her 5 siblings grew up in the 1940s and 50's, with their hardworking parents, in a one bedroom house, in a black neighborhood in Knoxville,TN. My husband and I are white. Our DNA tests, as well as our parents and siblings tests- which confirmed ours, by 3 different DNA companies, revealed that we, and our children (and now grandchildren) are from 7 nations in Africa: Botswana Nigeria Algeria Morocco Kenya Congo Sudan Plus: the Saudi Arabia region Plus: Native America. Since my children are white, I reason their ancestors were abused.. A lot. But I also discovered that Algeria and Morocco were the European slave hubs. The Muslim (Barbary Pirates) ran the slave trade, in that region of N Africa, after pirating along the coast of Southern Europe for their slaves... They drove out Christianity -which came to Africa long before it was embraced by Europeans. This is all about destroying the Christian world, any and every way possible. Thank you!!

Robert Caro’s Pulitzer Prize winning biography details the life of Robert Moses. Moses, a public official best known as New York City Park’s commissioner as well as Triborough Bridge Commissioner. Never was he an elected official, however he created and led numerous semi-autonomous public authorities, through which he controlled millions of dollars in revenue and directly issued bonds to fund new ventures with little or no input or oversight. Caro’s biography highlights Moses’ authoritative nature, meticulous diligence, subversion of the legislative process to blackmail the state into funding his infrastructure projects and siphoning funding of public transport to impose his vision of society. In Moses's urban planning of New York, he bulldozed primarily Black and Latino homes to make way for parks, chose the middle of minority neighborhoods as the location for highways, and deliberately designed bridges on the parkways connecting New York City to beaches in Long Island to be too low for buses from the inner city to access the beaches.

It turns out that original sin is not in the Bible at all. Nowhere does it say that God appointed Adam to be federal head of the human race. Furthermore, nowhere does it say that people are ever individually guilty before God for the sins of their leader, even though they may suffer worldly consequences because of a leader's misdeeds and bad decisions. "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father" (Deuteronomy 24:16). "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers" (Ezekiel 18:20). With this, we can see that all of mankind will be judged for their individual sins, not the sins of their fathers. So, if you are someone who accuses the average American citizen for wars, you need to stop. You cannot hold the average person accountable for the sins of the leader, nor can you blame the descendants of the Americans who fought in a war. If you are someone who hates white people, you cannot hold any white person accountable for the sins of their ancestors. You cannot blame all white people for racism and slavery. You cannot accuse all white people for continuous racism and discrimination towards minorities. No matter how hard you try to disprove what I say, it is fact.

[@nicoleb3636]

I learned the harm of CRT by looking at two things: those who speak in favor of it and at the curriculum that supports it in schools. I have found both offensive. CRT teaches there can only be an oppressed or oppressor, and your role is determined by traits you can't change (ie, your skin). Listen to Kendi teach the table/matrix of oppressed/oppressor dictated solely by skin color, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. He teaches if you are a white, straight, Christian male you can only EVER be an oppressor regardless of your deeds, work ethic, character, etc. It IS disgusting and disturbing and WRONG. Of course the most oppressed are the opposite (minority, female, lesbian, you get it). All others are somewhere in between. A quote at a speech promoting CRT said "the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy for present discrimination is future discrimination. They bring blame to current groups and fully ignore progress by Civil Rights Act, soldiers who fought in civil war for freedom, MLK, etc. Skin defines you forever. (CLEARLY indicating they DON'T believe minorities could have talent that would make a difference.) They even believe a toddler or K-grade must be taught this (videos of innocent kids apologizing for who God made them). Appalling. Look at businesses like Coke's employee training of "Be less white." Dural County (exposed by Moms for Liberty) taught from a book of "Group Grievances" which demonized white, straight males. AND YES schools are teaching this. Hopkins restructured their curriculum around the "13 traits of white supremacy" and stopped letter grades as this is "too white.". Sounds more racist to me that the believe minorities can't be challenged or learn. Bear Lake announced dividing students by privileged or oppressed based solely on "race, gender, religion, and birth place." Edina did the melanin project. There are also segregated staff meetings. Sadly it's in so many states (CA, VA, OR, PA, WA, and soooo many more - FL outlawed it). Wit and Wisdom offers stories about white elementary students scaring a black elementary girl, Ruby. The adjective / adverb lesson asks to describe the white people. Examples in the text are loud, scary, angry. The story ends offering no resolution or people coming together. That's how CRT sees the world. Anti-American and racist (skin being the primary determining factor of who you will ever be) - basically teaching hate and division. They call this "social justice" or "equity" but it's garbage. Beyond this, they believe in no absolute truth (not even that 2+2 can only be 4 - they will argue). They believe that America is evil. I don't believe this. I believe America was founded on Godly principles, and that we all come from God and what matters is our character, how we treat each other, and our work ethic in what kind of person we are and what we can become. What I do know is CRT is harmful and our family left public school and don't support businesses that support it. I don't need news to tell me this. Recorded public board meetings and speakers make it clear how bad this is. It's that simple.

It's certainly is not the far left, or Black Lives matter but one with considerable power and influence, almost comparable with that of Government itself. Why then promote such a theory which is bound to inflame minds on both sides of the debate. Could it be to so inflame the white population that they turn to the far-right and demand a heavier hand in such matters. The promoters will therefore be one so-embedded in society to be able to almost immediately provide a ready made solution and far-right police force. I wonder who they could be ?

As a mixed race person, I see that critical race theory should be taught, especially in southern states and in religious schools. I find that there are too many loopholes for racist people in a society that is still holding on to their discriminatory practices. This is especially relevant for mixed race people that are being targeted simply for being mixed race.

[@smileysmultimedia]

The "loophole" is something called favor. Favor isn't fair, favor isn't guaranteed. Favor isn't automatic, favor isn't protected by any law. Favor is having the positive and appreciative side of a person, people or group. CRT cant do anything about that; it cant force that. Favor requires people and/or groups actually having good positive relationships.

[@pueblorock911]

If your subconsciously racist, that is not racist. If you have conscious racist thoughts, that is still not racist. Only when you take racist actions, your racist. That goes for any person regardless of their individual perceived racial identity. So yes, even those who claim to be anti-racist (CRT), and commit racist actions, are racist. Systematic racism is alive and well today, but its not against people of color. If " true" American history is the motivation behind CRT, why isn't the history of all races, that make up our society, being pushed? The answer is CRT has a racists agenda instead of an "all" inclusions one.

These concepts are rooted in the Tree of Life that we should hold fast to, namely, Jesus Christ and his being the Word made Flesh. Rather than separating over an abusive relationship, we can come together through forgiveness. Can I ask someone I've wronged to forgive me? You bet. That's why God made it possible for we humans to apologize. Animals can't apologize, but we can and we do. When we forgive our brothers their sins, we find peace. Has there been much peace?

Critical Race Theory is NOT an elementary school class. It's a LAW SCHOOL CLASS. Looking at society through different lenses was the impetus for Literary Theory, which does so through every philosophy, political ideology, gender bias, and some that are language related such as Jacques Derrida's Deconstructionism (which was the lense I used in my grad school class). To !y knowledge, this type of critical analysis remains an upper-division baccalaureate or graduate level discipline. If your kids are learning that America has deep foundations in racism, it's because that's the truth. But I will personally guarantee you that Critical Race Theory is NOT being taught to your children. Theoretical analysis is extremely challenging and quite complex. Stop buying the rhetoric that it's racist, that it's somehow Marxist (though Marx is one lens we used in my graduate level Literary Theory class) or that it's designed to indoctrinate your kids. Your kids won't even know what CRT is unless the go to grad school. And by then, if they're not fully capable of critical thought, you can worry about what you spent all that undergrad tuition money on?

[@afgone]

The following is from Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement. This shows how CRT unequivocally promotes racism and segregation. “The first is to understand the regime of white supremacy and its subordination of people of color, which has been created and maintained in America, and in particular to examine the relationship that the social structure and professed ideals such as “the rule of law” and “equal protection.” The second is a desire to not merely understand the vexed bond between law and racial power - but to change it.” “This mainstream civil rights discourse on “race relations” was constructed this way partly as a defense against the more radical ideologies of racial liberation presented by the Black nationalists and Black Consciousness movements of the ‘60s and the early ‘70s. In the construction of “racism” as an irrational and backwards bias of believing that someone’s race is important, the American cultural mainstream neatly linked the Black left to the white racist right according to this quickly concealed consensus, because race consciousness characterized both white supremacists and black nationalists both as racist.” “With its explicit embrace of racial consciousness, Critical Race Theory aims to reexamine the terms by which race and racism have been negotiated in American consciousness, and to recover and revitalize the radical tradition of race consciousness among African-Americans and other peoples of color. A tradition that was discarded when integration, assimilation, and the ideal of “colorblindness” became the official norms of the racial enlightenment.” “A predominantly white left emerged on the law school scene in the late ‘70s, a development which played a central role in the genesis of Critical Race Theory. Organized by a collection of Neo-Marxists intellectuals, former New Left activists, Ex-Counter Culturalists, and other varieties of oppositionists in law schools - the Conference on Critical Legal Studies established itself as a network of openly leftist Law teachers, students, and practitioners committed to exposing and challenging the ways American law served to legitimize an oppressive social order.” “Critical Race Theory indicates how and why the contemporary “Jurisprudence of color-blind-ness” is not only the expression of a particular color-consciousness, but the product of a deeply politicized choice.” “The colorblind assimilationist ideal seeks homogeneity in a society rather than diversity. Such an ideal neglects the positive aspects of race, particularly the cultural components that distinguish us from one another. It may not be a desirable result those cultural components to be subsumed into a society that recognizes commonalities. The assimilationist colorblind ignores and thereby devalues Culturerace. The successful abolition of “Black” as a meaningful concept would require abolishing the distinctiveness that we attribute the Black community, culture, and consciousness. The abolition of a people’s culture is by definition cultural genocide. In short, assimilation as a societal goal, has grave political consequences for Black and other non-whites.” It is a pro-segregation ideology for black people - similar to the Nation of Islam.
