Banning Critical Race Theory

[myDeaconmyhand]

That’s heartbreaking. It’s the most sincere response i’ve seen to the Republican “war” on CRT. I’d hope that the rest of the Democratic Party begins to begins to respond similarly.

 

[Biff Tannen]

I call on America's pop stars and rappers and movie makers and television writers to inundate us with CRT then. Take it to the streets. Put it in the video games and all over TikTok. fuck these motherfuckers

People would just dance to it.

They'll come here and explain that Black people in Mississippi just don't know what it's like for people to make them feel bad because of their race.

And we'll make fun of them, but they probably honestly don't know about the legacy of racism in Mississippi because they never learned it and they don't want others to learn it either.

Yep. Imagine how uncomfortable and triggered white people might feel about learning actual history. We must protect them!

Honestly, though, do you feel good about this JH and Junebug? Do you feel like you're on the right side of history here?

 

[PhDeac]

That's the thing. They're only interested in the "right" side of history. History can be whatever they want it to be.

I'm not dumb enough to fall for the false choice of "CRT(TM)" or "Whatever Shoo/Ph think the absence of CRT(TM)" is. As repeatedly, previously stated in this thread, I believe you can and should teach about race as a fundamental part (among many) of the American experience. For once in your lives, try to expand your analysis beyond your usual reductionist "Whatever makes me feel (falsely) virtuous" versus "Disingenuous strawman characterization of a dissenting option (the opposition to which also makes me feel (falsely) virtuous)" binary approach to complex issues. Be smarter and more honest. Plenty of room to operate in both of those fields.

For a moment let's just consider the anger... dissolution... confusion... ?? Definitely emotion in this post. Timing? Honest?struggle??

I really feel like you are selling yourself short here.

I'm pretty sure that the people who have reduced this argument to a litmus test over three letters are the dumb ones. If that's you, then I guess it is.

Lectures others for posting all day long. Posts at 4 am on a Saturday.

It's easy when you hold yourself to the same standards you expect from others. One set of rules is liberating. You should try it sometime.

 

[ConnorEl]

It’s dangerous, destructive, and wicked to gin up or impassion white fragility for the purpose of seeking or holding onto political power.


And it’s obvious sophistry to attempt righteousness-sounding arguments as to why that’s not what’s really happening with respect to Republicans and all the “CRT” outrage and the associated BS legislation.

Third, let us hear your explanation of the difference between critical theory and critical thought, if you are capable of recognizing the difference at all, that is.

Well, what about it Highland? It's been four days and you have still not explained the difference between critical theory and critical thinking. Based on your posts on the subject you don't even understand what critical thinking is, much less critical theory. What was your major at Wake? Sociology? Communications? Gender Studies? Have you read anybody from the Frankfurt School?

Either answer the question accurately or do yourself a favor and stop posting on a subject that you know nothing about.

Are you OK sailor? Your most recent posts have a much different tone.

Right, so you are now the board judge of who understands something and who doesn't? That's rich. I supposedly don't understand CRT or critical thinking, yet your brilliant analysis of it posted a few days ago included such insightful comments as "Marxist claptrap", "shallow", "misleading", "exclusionary", and other simplistic judgments. Yes, you certainly have a great understanding of this topic. Have you read any of the detailed posts by people like mdmh describing CRT? And you never answered my question of which side in this debate is trying to ban critical thinking from classrooms to protect the feelings of whites. I don't post for your approval, and if you don't like what I post then don't read it. Since I'm apparently too dumb to understand your brilliant reasoning on these two topics that shouldn't be that hard, should it?
