You're a liar. Go back to your klan meeting, Karen.

See, this is what the left wing is doing.. which includes how they teach CRT, you disagree, you are racist.. btw, i am hispanic

Asian brown person and I agree.

As if that is some immediate disqualification for being a racist.

The big question is why are you denying systemic racism - how are you benefitting from the current structure?

They benefit by being the buffer class. They feel elevated if they believe certain other groups are beneath them and they will be accepted by white mommy and daddy.
They won’t advocate for anything like reparations because they aren’t getting any.

Sounds like you’re the racist.

Systemic racism exists, but CRT proponents act like it's the only systemic disadvantage that matters. They elevate it to the highest level and expect everyone else to conform to their worldview. Anyone who doesn't agree with them is condemned as a racist.

There are many ways in which people can be disadvantaged. Short people are systemically disadvantaged compared to tall people. Handicapped people are systemically disadvantaged compared to able people. Unattractive people are systemically disadvantaged compared to attractive people. Poor people are systemically disadvantage compared to wealthy people. There are many ways people can advantaged and disadvantaged.

I personally believe class is the dominant hierarchy. A wealthy or famous black person is probably living a much better life than a trailer park white person despite whatever systemic racism the black man might face. The trailer park white guy is facing his own set of systemic disadvantages too. CRT advocates don't seem to want to acknowledge this.

Instead, everything is viewed through the lens of race. All white people are inherently racists and oppressors no matter their station in life, and you're a racist if you don't agree. It's such black and white thinking, literally and figuratively.

I agree that racism exists, but we need a better model than CRT. Just feels like a warped view of the world.

The problem is word usage and confusion. We come up with all this fancy language when we are just talking about White Supremacy. That’s all it is. Love the problem of white supremacy and the other problems will be easier to solve.

No. You are wrong about what CRT means and you are wrong about everything.

Why? That is the underlying problem. Solve that and everything else will be easier to solve.

I think it's wonderful they're having an honest discussion about race and teaching this. The white-washed version I was taught was complete nonsense and I never bought it anyway.

Do you have kids? Do you think what students are taught now is white-washed and nonsense?

You have a warped view of what an “honest discussion” entails if you think telling one group of kids they are oppressors and another they are victims, based simply on their skin color. Nothing wonderful about it at all.

There is a lot of gaslighting by CRT proponents. Don’t fall for it.

I'd like to understand as well. I am an immigrant (brown) and kids are first gen so whatever is taught in school is what we know (apart from using our common sense, google, books, etc.). I don't recall my kids being taught anything that would in any way imply that Whites are superior and they are inferior (stated or implied). What should the kids have been taught that is not being taught?

It’s certainly nonsense that “America is the greatest country in the world” and “there were good slave owners” and etc, so forth.

My kids were not taught either of those things in school. Although I think they could have gotten a bit more of the good parts, why this is a good country.

To some extent, I think we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater. But some posters want to throw out the baby's whole family too.

What are you calling Brown? Specifically where did you immigrate from?

The kids are taught Thomas Jefferson is an American hero. A known pedofile, rapist, and slave owner who tortured his slaves. I’d say this is one example of white supremacy in the schools.

And your thoughts on the Declaration of Independence, which he authored?
