“The Critical Race Theory fight in schools is thoroughly astroturfed.” Heritage doing it in DMV too?

Exactly. We Whites will "pretend to care" but we don't because CRT is nonsense and irrelevant to a solid education in order to succeed. We aren't going to change and we have the means to see that we don't.


In the meantime, this takes time from things students actually need to learn. Like actual history, reading, mathematics, science and the like.


Damn you, Poe's Law.

I think 98% of you posting here have absolutely no idea what CRT is.

This, right here. Imagine angry that history is being taught that reflects the experiences of all Americans.

CRT is racist because it makes mass race based generalizations, which is racism. And only whites can be racist, which is a racist, ignorant and hateful statement. Soon they'll be teaching how to be antisemites in school.


What is CRT? Please define it.


DP. That's really a question of you using a search engine and sorting through appropriate, unbiased definitions.


If you have actually already done that, please provide a link for the rest of us.

Thanks, but the point is this exercise was to demonstrate that the PP doesn't actually know what CRT is.


Do you? If so, define it.

It’s funny because Juneteenth was also AstroTurfed AF but, whatever. The powers that be will whip up the masses on social media. That’s how things work.

Please provide your definition of CRT. Also please provide your definition of "we whites".


CRT is a movement that promotes riots, vandalism, and looting. Critical race theory, an academic, now street-level philosophy, pits ethnic groups against each other in hopes of correcting historic inequalities

CRT is a means to try and get White people to give up their power willingly through guilt and embarrassment for being White. It ain't happenin' puddin'

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another --The book of Revelation, chapter 6, verse 4

Astroturf = activity that purports to be grassroots but isn't.

It's not a new expression. I remember it going back to the rise of the Tea Party, but maybe it goes back further.


Thank you! Yes it makes perfect sense as an expression. 🌱

And this is part of it: calling White people dumb and racist who disagree with theoretical CRT garbage. It is ignored, and behind closed doors, ridiculed and scoffed at, a theory hatched from a cesspool having no merit or application in the real world.

I'm getting stuck on the idea that cesspools hatch theories.

"hatched from a cesspool" is a metaphor of derision to equate CRT with worthlessness.

(fixed error)

No. PP is being ridiculed for making up some dumb racist explanation because that dumb racist explanation better fits their victim narrative (vs. reality).

Of course it's a metaphor, but what a metaphor. Maybe next the PP can say that "CRT" was cooked up in the dispose-all, or given birth to by vultures.
