A developing brain should learn that one race has oppressed the other throughout history. Its essential to have an adult brain that can see a larger picture.
For example. I live in an area what is only 8% white, 2% other and 90% aboriginal. In the Canadian school system it's standard curriculum to learn Canadian history which includes its residential school system and mistreatment of aboriginals. The last residential school being closed in the 90s. We're talking about just a few generations ago. It's no wonder these people are doing terribly from all economical and societal metrics, 40 years ago many were still living fully on the land in igloos. They got rounded up by RCMP, shoved into towns and asked to immediately assimilate into rules and jobs set out by a completely different culture. Hey you need to make money now and have a job, but sorry you don't have any of the requirements to have that job but don't run away because if you do we're going to drag you back!
Could you imagine not understanding how that has an impact. I see short-sighted people come into town for short term construction contracts constantly who just call them stupid drunks. People with blinders who just want to pass a quick opinion or insult.
Maybe I don't have a grasp on CRT but people should absolutely be taught to see a full picture rather than trying to read a book by its cover.
Let’s unpack this. All countries are built on slavery and through conquest. Everyone has been a slave somewhere. There is slavery, today, outside the US, and even in it from drug cartels kidnapping illegals. It’s cool Canada wants to not go back to slavery I get that. It’s why we learn about hitler too. BUUUUUTTTTTTTTT I remember being called a nazi for 8 straight years by over privileged children and useless adults sucking government teet money.
Are you looking to improve society or just stick your nose up at people? I see a lot of nimbys, not in my back yard. A teenager in college at a prestigious university said that he didn’t deserve to go there because he’s taking the place of a black student, then he was asked if he would give up his tuition to a black student and he said well no, I need to go to school. And he was right for a brief moment in his spoiled ignorant life.
