When you have less voting power you tend to get shafted by policies like where heavy industry is allowed to be located and where they can dump their runoff, or how school funding is distributed, or how they are or aren't represented among juries.

These kinds of laws were in every state until civil rights, which was only a generation ago, and they still exist in many forms today under different names.

This kind of knowledge should be understood once you're done with any basic high school history class. It's not hard to understand.

Yet even in the bluest of states like New York and California where Dems reign supreme, statistics don't hold up well for their black populations. Now I wonder which voting laws are causing this.

Not only is that untrue, even if it was true, that has literally nothing to do with CRT. That's what libs lie on the media to fool their brain dead viewers that that's what CRT is about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#:~:text=Critical%20race%20theory%20(CRT)%20is,liberal%20approaches%20to%20racial%20justice.



It's this nonsense that there's unidentifiable "institutional racism" all around us because CRT argues that that is the only possible explanation for why blacks in America have the worst achievements in education, employment, and entrepreneurship, and commit crimes at the highest rate. Only problem is that there is no evidence that that is the result of so-called "institutional racism". It's just simply assumed that their failures are the result of something with no evidence. So in order to counter-balance this "institutional racism", CRT basically just means free government money for blacks (paid for by our tax dollars) and government mandated discriminatory hiring practices, increase chances of promotions, and college admissions for everyone else - in favor of lower achieving blacks. We already have that to an extent through affirmative action, but CRT would super-charge what's already in place.

The way they justify government mandated racially discriminatory uber affirmative action is by pitting "people of color" against "the white oppressors". Interestingly enough, CRT primarily benefits the blacks and would actually harm successful minority groups like the Jews and East, Southeast, and South Asians.

CRT is a minor school of thought only offered in college in graduate level classes and has nothing to do with a general hatred of whites.

What is going on isn't anti-CRT because CRT isn't being taught in schools. What is happening is called Historical Revisionism, aka White Washing history. "He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future". The dudes who tried to keep the blacks from getting educations are now trying to prevent teaching that they did that stuff, with a lot of popular support, because there are a lot of dumb whites in America and the GOP is the party of them.

People like you, people who've never heard of Dred Scott, Plessy V Ferguson, red lining, the Tulsa Race Massacre, segregation, bank loan discrimination, and all the measures to prevent building intergenerational wealth among black Americans and prevent them from having voting power or access to education (Brown v Board of Education) is why I support common core.

You don't have to fight CRT, for one, because it isn't in school, and it is obvious that CRT isn't in schools because retards like you are able to graduate without knowing about any of this stuff.

Examples include the ideas of systemic racism, white privilege, white fragility and the predatory white imagination, as well as the notions that all white people (including white children) are inherently and irredeemably oppressors of black people, that all black people should recognize that they are fundamentally victims—and that pervasive racism is a permanent, ineradicable characteristic of American society.

Quote

And yet the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s “Racial and Ethnic Identity” webpage has a recommended reading list that is overflowing with works by CRT scholars, including Peggy McIntosh’s “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Backpack,” Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me (ruminating on the “racist violence that has been woven into American culture”) and Monique Morris’s Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools (accompanied by glowing reviews from CRT luminaries Kimberlé Crenshaw and Gloria Ladson-Billings).

Quote

a Virginia Board of Education webpage called Anti-Racism in Education, which is loaded with CRT jargon, including quotes from the bestselling CRT author Ibram X. Kendi, as well as a glossary of social justice terms such as “microinvalidations” (defined as “communications that subtly exclude, negate, or nullify the thoughts, feelings or experiential reality of a person of color”) and a definition of white supremacy which explicitly mentions CRT: “Drawing from critical race theory, the term ‘white supremacy’ also refers to a political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights.” (In the past, the webpage featured what could easily be interpreted as a call to arms: “Anti-racism requires acknowledging that racist beliefs and structures are pervasive in education and then actively doing work to tear down those beliefs and structures.” That passage has now been removed but an exact copy can be found on my blog.) Since this is the language being used by the Virginia Department of Education, it beggars belief to imagine that none of the dogma it expresses is intended to leak into classroom practice.

Several other state departments of education websites have similar resource lists, including links to age-appropriate books and teaching materials for K–12 students that incorporate core CRT concepts

Quote

In Cupertino, California, an elementary school required third graders to rank themselves according to the “power and privilege” associated with their ethnicities. Schools in Buffalo, New York, taught students that “all white people” perpetuate “systemic racism” and had kindergarteners watch a video of dead black children, warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence.” And in Arizona, the state’s education department sent out an “equity toolkit” to schools that claimed infants as young as 3 months old can start to show signs of racism and “remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness” by age 5.

Quote

If that’s not enough evidence, the nation’s largest teachers union outright endorsed the teaching of CRT to public school students in an agenda item it passed last week. The National Education Association vowed to “share and publicize” information “already available on Critical Race Theory — what it is and what it is not” and fight back against legislation that would ban CRT from school curricula.

Cities actively bulldozed black neighborhoods for public works projects, contributed to red-lining, and Democrats passed the same crime bill Republicans did.

Democrats aren't as openly hostile to minorities but make no mistake, they are part of the problem.

Quote (player11167 @ May 22 2022 08:38pm)

Actually, I agree with the crime bill. Tossing criminal trash regardless of race in the can sounds like a good idea to me.
