Do You Beleive What This Says about Critical Race Theory?

[bannacookies]

I personally don't. Its something you learn, don't need to act on. A lot if history is horrible on what people did to others in history and current but it is something one must learn in school. One of my friends posted this on social media today. It made me think, if that's the case, my friend must think its needed to get rid of the news, any history and biology, sociology, it can go on and on. Race is always a topic and it's a part of what you need to learn. It's in studies, analysis and percentages for certain topics. (Besides, you'd have to be really stupid to blame young children like that, that were not born anytime near either occurences). If one wishes to blame, forget schools, they'll find ways to judge others all over the internet.

Yes

No

[zeitgeist057]

This is the dumbing up of America. People take a topic, form a half-baked idea about what they imagine it means, then get upset about it.

I mean, go ahead people if you got nothing better to do that sit around making things up to be pissed about. But this meme has about as much to do with critical race theory as a pair of shoelaces is related to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, I don't believe in that stuff

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks For MHO :)

[bannacookies]

You're welcome.

Here's the sad part about all of it it doesn't matter how they go about it once somebody blame somebody else there's going to be an argument once somebody puts black and white in the same sentence there's going to be an argument just like on here why do people have to ask a question and have black and white in the question why not just ask the question anytime you try to compare anything with anything else there's going to be an argument or debate people stop comparing we wouldn't have a problem what happened four hundred years ago 200 years ago all those motherfuckers are dead the generation that you and I live in we had nothing to do with any part of it and that's the bottom line our world is changing it's changing really fast there are big business companies there are people in our government there's people intermedia didn't want to take America to a different place and it's not good watch and see what happens on here in the next 5 months there's going to be so many race-bait questions to get people going is bullshit we need to stand up as one right now we need to become one right now because if they win and we fight each other our country is going to be destroyed we are each other right now we need to live it because if we don't stand up for ourselves and all of our rights we're going to lose them all no matter what color you are I say when we read a question and it's a race big question on here we need to put a stop to it. Most of us have been here many years gag has given us a platform to stand on to say how we feel this is our city this is our state this is our country gag is. If we stand up right now right here on this platform and say we're not putting up with this shit no more We Are One you fight one of us you fight us all but if we can do it here we can do it anywhere

[NamerOfStars]

Absolutely. Teaching history doesn't require- and shouldn't entail at all- placing blame on people who had nothing to do with it. If I set up a media blitz proclaiming that William Randolph Hearst caused the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire, I'd be sued for libel (or slander; defamation of some kind), and rightly so. Education's no different. That doesn't mean we can't teach kids about that fire.

Demonizing and dehumanizing others is exactly what leads to this kind of atrocity in the first place. Fighting racism with racism is like fighting fire with gasoline.

[JimBeams]

I'm a little bit confused. The meme is 100% spot on. But teaching history, and teaching Critical Race Theory, are two different things. If you like history, then you wouldn't have torn all of those statues down. History is just about telling the story of what happened.

Critical race theory is about brainwashing children to think that white kids are bad, just because they're white. It also teaches that black people are inferior, and that's because of what white people did to them. Why would you want to teach that black people are stupid? This is all a Marxist strategy to divide the country. Don't let this Trojan horse fool you. CRT is about ushering in communism.

[bannacookies]

With all your statements here, you're also judging.

[JimBeams]

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you please be more vague?

[rcljr]

Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for Black Americans. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and Black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures, yeah, Republicans are the racists…. smh

[DaveToo]

I'm not blaming any white person for slavery except those that continue to support that fucking traitor's Confederate battle flag.
I am not blaming any Japanese person for Pearl Harbor, just the regime that perpetrated that horror. What's interesting is, you don't see Japanese, Japanese Americans strutting around with the rising sun flag on everything.

[JimBeams]

Of course you're not blaming white Democrats for slavery. LMAO
This is why no one can take you seriously.

[DaveToo]

@JimBeams Dear Jim, named after a whiskey. Nor do I blame white Republican racists. THAT is why no one takes you morons seriously.

[rcljr]

@JimBeams exactly

[JimBeams]

@rcljr
Davey is a liberal hunk of shit. I'm surprsied he's not out burning down a business to support BLM.

[RedFever]

True, "Japanese-Americans" don't display the Rising Sun flag, but the current Japanese Navy does.

I guess they don't teach CRT in Japan. Why not? After all, don't they have a lot to be ashamed of? Could the reason simply be because Japanese people are actually not so stupid as to think the current generation of Japanese should be blamed for what happened during World War 2?

[DaveToo]

@RedFever EGGzaactly!! Oh, and Jimmie Beam just had an ignore bullet stuffed up his nose, by hand.

[TessP]

You're not going to blame any white people for slavery? LMAO

[DaveToo]

@TessP White people living today.

[TessP]

That's not remotely reflected in your answer, but whatever.

[DaveToo]

@TessP Sorry, beat me with a stick for not defining better.

[SmokinAces2000]

No people are just mad because they don’t like that history paints white people in a bad light. People today can’t help it if white people screwed people over in this country but a lot of people just want to pretend like it didn’t happen and are mad that people want to teach real history

[blondfrog]

Teach it but don't blame others for something they didn't do. If you don't teach something in your public cesspool's then that is white washing. Some countries already do this like Turkey where they teach students that the Othman's never did any murders or other atrocious atrocities. Hitler did the same thing when he became president.

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

Critical race theory, from what I can gather, does not quite know what it is saying. Does it?

FYI, Indians and Blacks were the original slave owners and traders (of white slaves/those 'weak useless people') - the rest is propaganda for us whites to feel like were are not still slaves (in Europe we certainly are)

[rcljr]

Yeah and the devil himself will have icicles hanging off his balls before you’ll ever see my family virtue signaling by kneeling in front of anyone while wearing chains and apologizing for somethin we had to part in, fuck blm

[Smegskull]

That's a statistically poor representation of the reality too.
A japanese child has a good chance of being decended from a ww2 soldier.
A white American child has a very low chance of being decended from a slave owner/trader... It's even possible (though records of slave rape aren't exactly well kept) that a black American child is statistcally more likely to be decended from a slave owner.

[Curmudgeon]

Actually, you illustrate why CRT is even MORE absurd than residual WW2 resentments.

[legalboxers]

The Far Right wants to be the party of "This didn't Happen" Selma Race Riots never happened, There was no slavery. I mean shit. They even say Jonestown never happened but THEY ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS drinking the Trump Koolaid!

[I_want_a_moustache]

I feel like we all need to learn about slavery because it’s not a thing of the past it’s happening right now, in America. We should also talk to high schoolers about modern day slavery (human trafficking)

[Maybe-Your-Neighbor]

I disagree with teaching about race. It really doesn’t exist or even matters because there is only one human race and everything else is just labels we made up to make slavery more okay. We are all really the same.

[TessP]

Shit like this is why we need school vouchers and tons of private schools. The public education system would end in a heart beat.

[Malik00]

I as a black man agree with this notion completely. Why should i be mad at you for something your ancestors did?

[OddBeMe]

Slavery was a Pearl Harbor that lasted 400 years. And it permeated American society that kept blacks 20 feet behind the starting line.

[jeffryrobertbabb]

You can't blame a child for the acts of her ancestors. I am told that there are more slaves in the world now than at any time in history.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

CRT was formed in 1972 and nearly every talking point on both the left and right are ignoring it's origins and intent.

[NathanDavis]

blame has no place in education of the young

[bannacookies]

Do you beleive history should not be taught when it comes to race conflicts/slavery/discrimination?

[NathanDavis]

history already teaches race conflict, slavery and discrimination... and so many other topics that are complicated without blame

for example I live in Texas-Mexico... and around here... the history of USA, Texas and Mexico was quite complicated... and at least in my experience there is NO blame on any parts or sides

[bannacookies]

Yes.
I also think it depends on the teacher. I had one teacher who turned my history class into all whites are bad and men are bigots. And the ironic thing was, the professor was white and a male.

[NathanDavis]

exactly... lol

just like a teacher I had and spent a whole year trying to make us hate Europeans, especially Spaniards because of the Conquest and the British because well, they're British... lmao

and like you say, teacher by teacher it would go very different in every classroom, and in some classrooms there would be a very dangerous agenda... some black young children could be told they are victims today, while some white young children could be told they're guilty today... and not only that, other young children that are hispanic or Asian could be told "you don't matter in this class is just black and white" because believe it or not, I've heard some of that as well

so the problem is not exactly what to teach or not teach but, how some people are very irresponsible and they will surely try to twist these things to fit their own personal agendas

[SmokinAces2000]

If you feel like you are being blamed that’s your problem nobody is telling you to feel that way

[NathanDavis]

@SmokinAces2000 if you lack comprehension and reading skills, that is certainly a problem for you, not me...

[SmokinAces2000]

😂 how can I not comprehend one sentence, what did I get wrong 😂

[NathanDavis]

@SmokinAces2000 and yet, you do... I would say is baffling but I do know about you and I do remember some of your other comments so I am not surprised one bit that you're this dense.

If you have a topic or argument of your own, that you would like to discuss... by all means, expand on it here and we'll see how it goes.

[SmokinAces2000]

“Blame has no place in education” that’s what you said. And I said if you feel blamed that’s your problem.

[NathanDavis]

@SmokinAces2000 ok slow poke... I'll hold your hand and walk you through it...

- first of all, do not pick just a fraction of what I said, because it was a full sentence
* blame has no place in EDUCATION OF THE YOUNG "

- with that being said, I never did refer to me, feeling blamed by anything... I am not a young kid in elementary school, nor I am a teen in high-school... and no, I am not college/university student... so no, I am not being targeted nor blamed by anybody... and I do not feel blame for nothing.

- my comment was focused only, on the premise by the original poster, which implies the education of the YOUNG, the toddlers and the young kids in our schools, that was it.

So don't try to make it about me personally, because what I said does is not about me at all... got it?
or is that too much for you to comprehend

or perhaps you want to twist it again and make it about something else... go ahead, either way I do not mind, I have some extra time today

[SmokinAces2000]

😂 alright but what i said still goes of the kids in the education system feel like they are being blamed then that’s their problem, same things goes

[NathanDavis]

@SmokinAces2000 "that's their problem" approaches have no place in the education of the young

[anylolone]

It's quite literally.

And that's not the goal, that's the tool.

[Slim57]

Yeah
