Erec Smith: Black People Are Not a Monolith

[@ChollieD]

Great video! Thank you. Black people are not a hive mind.

😂😂😂😂This video is SO PATHETICALLY FOOLISH, NAIVE, and BACKWARDS The only UNIQUENESS about POC is... 1. They allow themselves to be ruled by THEM FOLKS. 2. The allow themselves to be DEFINED by the THEM FOLKS. 3. They allow THEM FOLKS to DEFINE REALITY for them. 4. They want to be LOVED and ACCEPTED by THEM FOLKS. 5. They want to be integrated with THEM FOLKS. 6. They believe oneday THEM FOLKS

As a Scot, this reminds me of the informal fallacy known as 'No true Scotsman': A: No Scotsman wears underpants beneath his kilt. B: My uncle Sholto is a Scotsman, but he wears underpants under his kilt. A: But no true Scotsman wears underpants under his kilt.

Very true!

An amazing video! I live in Scandinavia and it is just unbelievable how monolithic a view the press of my country gives of American black thought. Proponents of CRT are continuously cited as representatives of its apex and the general assumption seems to be that their views are wholeheartedly embraced all black people in the US, but figures like Sowell, McWhorther, Loury or Hughes are never mentioned here.

[@wademitchell3817]

Did you know that WWII Black veterans and descendants are STILL not allowed GI bill benefits? Can you imagine teaching WWII and GI Bill and not mentioning that 1 million Black veteran were excluded. There is a bill in the house and senate to change this. Authentic CRT seeks to uncover and remedy these inequities caused by systemic racism. *Additional sources* - CBS news piece on GI Bill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWW8n3qCq897b7c - Black History in 2 minutes segment on GI Bill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZKZl42fpq2KgbM - Charlotte ABC11 segment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHi6g6CCbsyJhbs

It isn't just conservatives and right-wingers that are against CRT. There are liberals and left-wingers that are also against CRT.

[@heythere9371]

Most black people are Democrats, but there is certainly a small percentage of self hating black conservatives out there who dont care about racial justice or equality

[@stkate1093]

[@goldenvulture6818]

I agree. You should share it.

I only recently found the FAIR organization and its a breath of fresh air. No person belongs solely to one group (except the human race). We each belong to many groups with different ideas. Those mix of ideas within one person is what makes them an individual. Peace and thank you for sharing a more loving view of the world.

[@luvsavengedsevenfold]

Unfortunately, the Candace Owens types seem to be the second loudest voices of black America - after the CRT proponents themselves! However... there are also plenty of progressive, liberal, and leftist black Americans that also disagree with CRT. Those voices need to be amplified, as well.

Candace Owens represents an exceedingly tiny portion of the black American population. Most black people arent white supremacists like Candace. That would be weird

It isn't just conservatives and right-wingers that are against Critical Race Theory. There are liberals and left-wingers that are also against Critical Race Theory. Yet not surprisingly countless individuals, media companies & media platforms deliberately omit those facts.

Yeah they're called racist.

Keep speaking out.. This is the antidote to those people who are engage in racism and to those black people who are racist. This applies to those other race that engage in this type of activity including asians, latinos, and others.

As poor white man I do get tired of certain individuals thinking any one group has monopoly on misery! Racism is reality but so is classism which often. Gets brushed underneath the carpet! That being I usually vote democrat and once voted green on a few occasions!!
