OP has no clue what a "Thought Crime" is. |
Is that why so many of my conservative friends are in inter-racial marriages? Terror? Had no idea! |
This teacher is why my kid was afraid to call police when sexually harrassed by two black men. |
Not only are we sick of it, but we are sick of the crime that goes along with being apologists. All races commit crimes but we are letting criminals of color get off with a slap on the wrist in some areas, leading to (wait for it) more crime. Know who that puts most in danger? Good people of color in the same communities and little children |
A whole bunch of White people tried to overthrow the government and so far they haven’t gotten any punishment at all. It’s an indictment of your “news” sources that you honestly think that two tiered justice serves minorities. |
And black people are dying because of their race. Must be nice to say race doesn't matter because your race doesn’t negatively affect your life. |
You seem unaware that people of color receive harsher sentences than whites for the same crime. Probably because you didn’t learned about structural racism in school. |
“Beloved” was in AP English where it belongs. Why was that the only book targeted? Have you read Shakespeare? Have you read the Bible? Have you read Faulkner? Have you read Steinbeck? Have you read Hugo? Have you read any great novel or history? Rape, murder, cruelty, brutality, etc. are the evils that protagonists struggle to overcome. Seniors in AP English don’t need their Mommies or some dumbasses on the school board crusading to whitewash the curriculum. |
PP here. Ok, I watched to the video. So we're talking about one survey at Langley HS, written by Langley teachers--not a survey that was disseminated as a required activity throughout FCPS. I agree some of the question were a bit silly. The lesson of cross-cultural/racial empathy could have been taught in much more effective ways. But, as I watched the video more, it finally got to the heart of Laura Ingraham's message: "Here empathy is weaponized [she's referring to the concept of 'allyship.']. Non-diverse students are being taught to remain silent. Don't complain. Certainly don't complain if you lose out on jobs, scholarships, or college admissions when diversity, equity, and inclusion is at stake." This is the sentiment that animates most of the outrage on the right: the fear that someone who is not like you (different race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity etc.) will get or take something from you that is rightfully yours. |
No. You just want to be judged objectively. Not on color. |
Your kid is obviously smarter than you are since they seem to understand that sexual harassment is not a crime! You are that white person that calls the cops on black people even when a crime has not been committed and yet you still don’t see your own racism! No we are not ever going to just let you continue like that without getting some push back. You could just chill out a little. You are not facing any threat to your life or property so calm down. |
No one is judged "objectively" IRL. That just isn't human nature. All humans are biased--it's just a question of whether you realize it or not and address it. |
A Virginia high school student might feel uncomfortable learning about slavery. Obviously white kids will see themselves as the slavers and thus will feel criticized to learn how awful slavery was.
If white kids can only see themselves as the slave owners, what does that say about how they view their classmates of color? |
Part of the issue is that, at least in the US, kids are conditioned to judge. There are other societies where skin color and other variations among humans do not have value ascribed to it. So part of the goal is to try to mitigate or eliminate this judgement. For some reason, people on the right seem not to want to do this. |
I bet you even invite some of them over to dinner, you may not use the good china on them, but you may at least go in for the good paper products, think "Chinette", or some similar off-brand comparable. ![]() ![]() |
