Critical Race Theory: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Exactly, you cannot stand up without falling down first.

It's interesting because it's exactly this argument that helped shoot down some proposed legislation in Wyoming. A Jewish man discussed the lessons of the holocaust and how we absolutely should be made uncomfortable by them to help learn from past mistakes. The law was then vetoed despite a majority of Republicans in the chamber so there's still some hope left!

As a German, I agree

it validates them. it solidifies them. it is important. i once missed an interview. my husband and i are 30 years married and happy. that day, i wanted him to make me feel better. he did not sympathise. he said, feel it. i did. it is important. we fake nothing and remain happy and
Married.😏👍

As a german most people didn't give a shit about what the nazis did and would look shocked at you if you said, those nazis were regular normal german like you and me and most people would have been nazis as well, because few people would sacrifice their life to fight for freedom unless the government supports freedom.

'America, land of the free' should really be more 'land of the Dunning-Krueger' sometimes...

Slightly?

We're not even outnumbered (at least on a national level), our government is just set up to value land more than people, and unfortunately those people have more land.

Its more shameful and embarrassing IMO.

It is, high from Oregon

Same for Germany

1984 was called 1948 & about Britain, had to change Name !

As a British Indian person, you should really chill. 99% of countries have hurted other countries. It’s part of history. And in relative terms, the Brits were fine. Compare them to the Arabs, the Turks, the Conquistadors and the Germans - and the British Empire seems to be rather civilised by the standards of their time. Your white guilt and self-flagellation is not only unasked for, it does seem to be a bit patethic. Have some pride in your people, your history and your nation. No one respects someone who doesn’t respect themselves.

@@AG-vb6vv The british Empire enslaved almost half the world and invaded even more. Saying that they were civilised while doing that, seems like a pretty bold statement.

@@st_420 The Arabs and Turks used to engage in slavery too. They used to enslave non Muslims, mostly African pagans but also Slavs, Europeans, Indians, Central Asians, Christians etc. They used to castrate their male slaves (the reason why you don’t see descendants today) and use the females primarily as sex slaves. The Arab and Ottoman slave trade only stopped when Britain waged wars and enforced via treaty, abolitionism. I said Britain was civilised, only in RELATIVE terms. Anyone who knows history knows that, you just sound ignorant.

My middle school teacher showed my class that to make a point about how easy it is to radicalize people while they think they are in the right the whole way down

I remember that. ABC After School Special, right? That ending really impacted me as a kid where all the students finally get to meet the leader (whose identity was a secret) and the teacher shows them a movie of Hitler.

I bring up that book all the time. It’s valid!!

I've thought of that movie so many times the past few years.

Don't forget that movie was made about something that really happened

LMAOOO, depressed pigeon in a suit 😂😂😭

And the best thing is: I am positive John would immediately like your comment! :)

Aww that’s the cutest way to call John

Yes 😂

Yaaay!! 🥰🥰

For most things except CRT I agree.

@@richardcranium7692 Who is teaching you CRT?

My kids want to know why CRT is used to brain wash them in public schools into hating themselves and hating the USA.

@@AntiMarxism21stCentury Ask them what is CRT, and I'm gonna tell you if it is taught in elementary/middle schools or not.

@@dariocarraresi1823Black people good and perfect. White people still slavers. It is just hate speech repackaged for a new Marxism by the new marxists. "That is because the leading proponent of critical race theory, law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, is a self-described Marxist, and critical race theory does focus on class divisions within our society."

I grew up in a non racist america and now everyone hates everyone else. Now we have teachers teaching the marxist playbook. We are falling to a marxist takeover and our birth rate is collapsing

I would have to slightly disagree. People's skin color isn't something they chose. Their behavior, the way they act, and the way they dress, is a choice. Judging people on things they can't change is wrong, but judging them for things they choose and they can change, is kinda fair game.

​@@manuelschneider1105Except that "how someone acts" and "how someone dresses" are too vague of terms. *Some* of the ways people act and dress are personal choices but many of the ways we act and dress are products of our culture or personal circumstance.
Judging someone for the act of spitting on the ground? Perfectly fine. Judging someone for the act of using their hands to emphasize speech? That's rude. Judging someone for wearing shorts in winter. Perfectly fine. Judging someone for wearing culturally specific clothes/clothing styles? Makes you an asshole.

​​@@manuelschneider1105 yeah cause things like income, culture and social status totally dont influence the way someole might dress.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@manuelschneider1105Ah yes, assuming everyone is from the same background, economic, social, cultural, and experiences.
Fair game.
Surely judging someone on an impossible metric of standard is fair game.

I reckon the history of Crybaby Racist Thugs (White Supremacists & MAGA morons), when thinking they aren't racist, while spouting racist thoughts and teaching their kids completely made up history, ignoring racism, is probably a comfort for them.

the trick is that so many of these lawmakers WANT to repeat the same "mistakes" again, or at least not have us recognize the mistakes we're still making. (some of which are less mistakes and more very deliberate decisions)

The tribes of the Indigenous Americans can actually find a few peaceful periods.

@@jackster9775possibly but some of the things they did to each other were unspeakable. You wouldn’t want to judge their entire culture on that though which is what critical race theory aims to do.

Fantastic story, thank you for sharing.

Exactly. If learning history only fills you with pride then you’re not really learning history.

This clearly went over my head I'm so confused.

@@batsonstevens4009 Their taxi driver was Jewish

why should you feel discomfort for a war you didn't participate in?

No one is saying don’t teach history.
CRT has its foundation with Derek Bell and is inspired by ideas from the Błack Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s. CRT teaches to no longer see people as individuals but to see people as separate group identities. Assigning positive or negative traits based solely upon these group (groups based on skín color and perceived racíal identity).
When anyone claims CRT isn’t being taught in-K-12, that-semantícs… Because while the entire program isn’t, that doesn’t mean elements of it aren’t. History is being taught in schools and it shouldn’t be watered down. If anything we tend to overlook the suffering of many others across the world and tens of thousands of years of slavery (not just hundreds of years).
The segregated mindset CRT promotes is worse than most people realize, the beliefs below come from some of the supporters of CRT and people on the łeft (not people on the ríght or independents). Which again is something many won’t even acknowledge is a problem from the very same supporters of CRT.
With thinking from CRT/BŁM supporters like…
“Whíte privilegé”
“Check your prívilege”
All of one race “can’t be racíst”
All of the other race is racíst
“Melanin makes us strong/superíor, lack of melanin makes you inferíor.”
“We are not the same” - comes from a belief of genetic superioríty. Caucasíans are descended from animals and Błack people are not (Błack people are the only true humans).
There are extremists on the right and left, both are a serious problem. The thing is the extremists on the left are growing, driving media narratives and responsible for driving further division. All this us versus them cannot ever lead to “we”.
How about some real world examples from supporters of CRT/BŁM?
A Cupertino, California, elementary school forced third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” They separated the eight-year-old children into oppressors and oppressed.
A middle school in Springfield, Missouri, forced teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” claiming that white heterosexual Protestant males are inherently oppressors and must atone for their “covert white supremacy.”
The Arizona Department of Education created an “equity” toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children become full racists-”strongly biased in favor of whiteness”-by age five.
The California Department of Education passed an “ethnic studies” curriculum that calls for the “decolonization” of American society.
The principal of East Side Community School in New York sent white parents a “tool for action,” which tells them they must become “white traitors” and then advocate for full “white abolition.”
How about employers?
The Treasury Department told employees that “all white people” are racist and that children become racist by 3 months
A Department of Education-funded conference advocated for “abolition” of American institutions and told whites they must “give up” their “wealth.”
The Department of Homeland Security told its white employees that they have been “socialized into oppressor roles.”
The State Department, EPA, and VA pressured staff to denounce their “white privilege,” become “co-resistors” against “systemic racism,” and sign “equity pledges.”
Lockheed Martin, the nation’s largest defense contractor, sent key executives on a mission to deconstruct their “white male privilege” and encouraged them to atone for their “white male privilege.”
Raytheon, the nation’s second-largest defense contractor, has launched a critical race theory program that encourages white employees to confront their “privilege,” reject the principle of “equality,” and to endorse the “defund the police” movement.
Walmart’s training program tells employees that they are guilty of “internalized racial superiority.”

@@GhostSal But them drag queen's is tryina read a book about "Crtitcal Race Theory" to my kid's!

@@ronaldnixon8226 That’s your rebuttal? No one is saying don’t teach history and teach it as unbiasedly as possible (with facts). CRT isn’t a history lesson, it’s objective is to divide all people today into two different groups (øppressed and oppressør). I’ve already explained this and gave specifics as to how this is being implemented.
Let’s look over some statements CRT/BŁM supporters have actually made and see what their objective really is.
“The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” - Ibram Kendi
“Błack people can’t be racíst.” - Michael Eric Dyson (no matter what act of racíal hatrèd and víolence is commítted).
“We believe that so long as the white race exists, all movements against what is called ‘racism’ will fail. Therefore, our aim is to abolish the white race.” - Noel Ignatiev
“If you abolish slavery, you abolish slaveholders. If you want to abolish racial oppression, you do away with whiteness.” - Noel Ignatiev
The Isis Papers, Frances Welsing described whíte people as the genetically defective descendants of “albino mutants” She wrote that due to this "defective" mutatíon, they may have been forcíbly expelled from Afríca. She also promoted the belief that “melanin” made błack people superior to whíte people.
Keep in mind his isn’t what I have said they want, these are CRT/BLM supporters own words and we should believe that they mean what they say.
People don’t want chíldren being taught to separate each other today by racè. People don’t want kíds assigning group traits to individuals and instead they want kíds to see each other as the individuals they are. This used to be a mainstream view and not just a conservatíve view.

@@GhostSal Obama cain't force my kid's to study none a that Hogwash!

@@GhostSal You're confusing CRT bud. You should really go back to law school if you didn't graduate.

Good choice! Good momma!😊

They say racism begins at home thanks mum

Actually, thanksgiving in an American Lie. It was the start of the ethnic cleansing and relocation of Native Americans.

Considering that the Natives were killed by the plague and their land was taken over by the Pilgrims, that has some disturbing connotations.

Soooo... the teacher attempted to recreate a Thanksgiving play with Pilgrims and Indigenous people. Hmmmmm? Now I wonder, should I have been offended for being a 10-year-old black kid playing Martin Luther King Jr, in my school play. Was my teacher a racist? At this point, I feel people look desperately for the things that consume their mind.. in this case Racism 🤦🏾‍♂️

That’s what most mainstream Americans seem to think.

You also need to do better in not making the assumption that because you weren't explicitly taught x, x didn't happen.

Hey, same mate. I was raised in a small town in Indiana, so small that I didn't see my first black family until I was in Jr. High. They where cool people. :-)

Tribalism

No, you won't feel bad, but this incentivizes hatred in the mind of young children ( mostly black as their parents / grandparents were the victims ), creating prejudices and segregation. And I am not even living in the USA. Just hearing john oliver speak about this it painfully obvious that the net result is hatred. CRT must be removed completely. To live along side any nation what so ever, the past must be forgotten and a bond between them must be created, because looking at the past creates nothing but hatred and a lust for vengeance for people who are long long dead.

And thats the point. CRT is making people despise that great hero!!!

@@ivandobrev2240 you can't be fucking serious

Idk, I saw a case of them telling some kindergarten white kid to call himself an oppressor. Thats crap. We know who the oppressors are and its not just some random little kid, its a small % of specific people who have the colonizer energy. Your senator? Sure. The mediocre kid down the block? He's got nothing to apologize for.

Damn lmao.

it's like saying you'd also be carrying autism. It doesn't work that way

Mark Walberg?

@Greg Norman So you support the rock throwers reasoning for throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges. Their reasoning being that they hated black people and didn't want them to have equal rights, such as going to the same public school as the white kids.

All of these people demonizing CRT are just racists who don’t their kids to learn about the horrible things their ancestors did. They know learning about it can make their own children sympathetic to the plight of minorities.

Schools are not free marketplaces of ideas. Theres only a limited amount of time at your disposal, you cant teach children about every ideology, every viewpoint that has ever existed and let them read every book in existence. You need to make a choice of what to teach and not choosing something isnt the same as banning it. Of course Im referring to people who want to eliminate certain things from the school curriculum, not those who want to ouright ban a book, thats a different story.

@@anarcho-boulangistllamaent2023 These are also the same people who banned Maus. Because its totally worth banning a graphic novel about the experiences of a Holocaust survivor if it has some swears or, God forbid, discusses sex.

Crt isnt a fact. It is a point of view to look back at history and nothing more. Points of view are not fact, comrade.

@@lochnessmonsta2981 No one said crt was fact. It is in fact a viewpoint. However, the fact that people are trying to ban it is a facet of the overall issue of those people trying to cover up what the viewpoint is looking at.

Don’t have to care about the facts hurting your feelings if you effectively stop them from existing!

well said

You can be proud of your country and still strive to improve it. They’re not mutually exclusive concepts. Your comment here is exactly the reason that people are freaking out and misinterpreting discussions of systemic racism (that and listening to nonsense on Fox).
America is a constant work in progress. Fixing the current problems that stem from the bad elements of our past (redlining, inequality, systemic bias, etc) doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the elements of our past that are worthy of pride (independence, emancipation, the space program, inventions, and, y’know, *beating the Nazis*). True pride in one’s country includes acknowledging its shortcomings and striving to improve it. Acting like people waving flags is somehow the root cause of societal problems is stunningly ignorant.

You fucking started that rant with "as a German..."
lololol
Why don't you point to a success and not your status quo before giving advice. Germany is no beacon of culture nor prosperity and I feel its only right you accept responsibility for your own feelings about your own country and stop blaming "americans" cuz that's just you looking to blame or look down on anyone else. Sterilizing your youth with fear of your past has done such wonderous things as........as.......... exactly. It's how you do it because your fucking riot ass country in particular couldn't stop trying to be the most racist, fascist humans that our species ever produced. What works for you doesn't work for everyone and it is super super super ignorant to call other people ignorant for not doing things your way while making no attempt to understand why they do what they do.

Have you watched "hellstorm " on byte chute? That movie really painted the whole picture.

Well said. You'll get a lot of hate for this though, cause pointing out how American nationalism is holding America back is generally a direct hit to the indoctrinated nerve.

boooo he conflicted himself so much and more or less said yess please teach race theory in schools...... wtf

I am very sure if someone came up to you and blamed you for everything in their life (something you had nothing to do with) is very unfair.
Now imagine doing that to a kid, if you think going up to a kid and blaming them for everything their grandpa did, then you all need some mental checking to do.
CRT has only divided ppl even more, it has made being racist to white ppl a norm.

Having those conversations at school and college is what helped me break away from a racist family. I already didn't feel the same as them, but those conversations helped cut the final cords. Now as a parent, my kiddo knows my opinion, has been able to see what is going on in the world, and openly discusses these topics with us. She has helped change my mind on a few thing because seeing it through the eyes of a future generation that will be impacted more than I will is life changing.

@@kayarnold3151 That's great to hear!

It's not about the kids. The parents crying "oh, think of the children!" are only thinking about themselves. They aren't worried that their children will be distressed, but worried that their children will not espouse the same worldviews that they have. Or to put it straight, they are racist and they are worried that their children will not be racist.

That's probably not the case if they're a white nonhispanic ethnic group. Imagine how shitty it is to be lied about the ethnic cleansing and cultural vandalism of your culture, while being told that your family was responsible for doing it for other groups. See the problem? Germans had our language banned, and were subject to the same executive order 9066 restrictions as the Japanese, but that basically does not come up at all during the units on internment. And internment isn't even the word, the word is concentration. Those were concentration camps, not internment camps.
It was deeply uncomfortable growing up in desegregating schools to have to balance the same ethnic identity that the students of color were. I had one culture at home, another at school and got to be completely confused because the schools were making it into a issue of race rather than ethnicity and focused purely based on reversing it.

Then they get lured in to extreme hate groups. We need to have debates and discussions in middle and high school.

I've always wondered why he's always depicted in black and white, when color TV had been a thing for years at that point.

He and Anne Frank were born on the same day. That's part of how it seems "they're so far back in the past."

But imagine for a second that a racist old white guy has been able to indoctrinate kids for generations in public school, and now CRT steps in and says they get to learn about racism so maybe they won't be so racist. Racist old white guy is going to be keen on banning everything to double down on it. Plus, maybe then there'll be classroom time for mandatory Christian prayers.

@@googiegress7459 yeah, I know why they want to ban CRT, I just felt the need to express why I disagree with it.

@@googiegress7459 I never had a racist old white guy teacher ever in public school. In fact between k-12 I only ever even had like 6 male teachers and only 3 or 4 of them were white, none of them were old men and none of them were racist. In fact these days its mostly liberal talking points indoctrinating kids in schools and the number of conservative teachers is less than 30% at most. Especially since teachers unions are all democrat. I never once in my life was taught ANYTHING about christian prayers or teachings ever in school, but was taught all kinds of things about racism and how it was bad and how it absolutely existed and how it needed to change.

Heck I thought it was cardiac resynchronization therapy and was baffled why Americans didn't want people with heart conditions to do better.

I'm in Texas & we do learn of the horrors of how non-whites were mistreated in this country.
Critical race theory asserts, without evidence, that the US and its institutions are _still_ inherently & irredeemably racist, now & forever. It bases these assertions on past transgressions & dismisses the reality of the progress & evolution of the US as a nation & a culture over the past 245 years. It’s racism disguised under the cloak of anti-racism. It’s nefarious & damaging because it conditions non-Whites into a state of learned helplessness. It tells people like me that no matter what we do, we'll forever be perpetual victims of oppression & that success or happiness is reliant upon White action.
CRT is damaging because the way they're teaching it. They're having children "deconstruct their whiteness and privilege" or to see themselves and their non-white classmates as oppressors and oppressed, they're being taught to judge by skin color instead of character. This only serves to create resentment, tribalism and racism where it didn't exist, and exacerbate it where it did.

Student here. I’d love to learn about CRT despite the fact I’m not eligible to. Also I really respect you for teaching us for a shit salary and no benefits

@@darkprince56 That is simply not the fact. As someone who has been teaching history in Texas for 32 years (If you would allow me to use anecdotal evidence) I can attest that critical race theory which is not even taught widely in our curriculum, can help students approach to other atrocities and events that occurred in history. It is simply teaching history as it occurred and expanding on the belief that there are people who because of slavery and our past currently are racist and believe that one race is more superior to another.

@@dsproductions19 Yeah, but we're not just talking about little kids in school who feel like this. Showing black and white images makes grown adults feel like this was all in the distant past.

“Melanin makes us strong/superíor, lack of melanin makes you inferíor.”
“We are not the same” - comes from a belief of genetic superioríty. Caucasíans are descended from animals and Błack people are not (Błack people are the only true humans).
There are extremists on the right and left, both are a serious problem. The thing is the extremists on the left are growing, driving media narratives and responsible for driving further division. All this us versus them cannot ever lead to “we”.

@@GhostSal That is not what CRT teaches! There is way too much information available to make you aware of what CRT teaches and what it doesn't.

@@corabevill-thomas4632 Yes it is what CRT and supporters teach. Wøke supporters and CRT is teaching to see skin color, to not see individuals but instead people as separate groups. Where everyone from one race are always “privileged” (even the homeless, no matter how hard their life has been), can’t voice opinions (unless you agree completely) or you are told “your privilege is showing”.
When someone claims CRT isn’t being taught in-K-12, that’s semantícs… Because while the entire program isn’t, that doesn’t mean elements of it aren’t. History is being taught in schools and it shouldn’t be watered down. If anything we tend to overlook the suffering of many others across the world and tens of thousands of years of slavery (not just hundreds of years).
The segregated mindset CRT promotes is worse than most people realize
Here are just a few examples:
A Cupertino, California, elementary school forced third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” They separated the eight-year-old children into oppressors and oppressed.
A middle school in Springfield, Missouri, forced teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” claiming that white heterosexual Protestant males are inherently oppressors and must atone for their “covert white supremacy.”
The Arizona Department of Education created an “equity” toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children become full racists-”strongly biased in favor of whiteness”-by age five.
The California Department of Education passed an “ethnic studies” curriculum that calls for the “decolonization” of American society.
The principal of East Side Community School in New York sent white parents a “tool for action,” which tells them they must become “white traitors” and then advocate for full “white abolition.”
A Department of Education-funded conference advocated for “abolition” of American institutions and told whites they must “give up” their “wealth.”
How about employers?
The Treasury Department told employees that “all white people” are racist and that children become racist by 3 months
The Department of Homeland Security told its white employees that they have been “socialized into oppressor roles.”
The State Department, EPA, and VA pressured staff to denounce their “white privilege,” become “co-resistors” against “systemic racism,” and sign “equity pledges.”
Lockheed Martin, the nation’s largest defense contractor, sent key executives on a mission to deconstruct their “white male privilege” and encouraged them to atone for their “white male privilege.”
Raytheon, the nation’s second-largest defense contractor, has launched a critical race theory program that encourages white employees to confront their “privilege,” reject the principle of “equality,” and to endorse the “defund the police” movement.
Walmart’s training program tells employees that they are guilty of “internalized racial superiority.”
A recent survey found that 1 in 6 hiring managers was asked not to hire whîte males. According to a survey published by Resume Builder. Also, about half of all employers have openly admitted to prioritizing all other races over whîte males, putting “qualificatîons” as a secondary priority.

He’s actually purposely miss portraying what is happening. Proponents of CRT falsely accuse opponents of CRT of being against history taught in school. CRT says the U.S. isn’t a colorblind meritocracy because of white racism. In school, they actually teach anti-racism, which states that only white people can be racist and that it’s impossible to be racist toward a white person. Two towering American Black intellectuals, Glenn Loury and John McWhorter have been trashing CRT and anti-racism for two years, and no one will have them on their program because they’re so smart.

@@colinreese
Both of those guys you mentioned are literally members of conservative think tanks of course they are going to oppose CRT, Clown.

@@colinreese You've got it mixed up man. They are referring to systemic racism when they say you can't be racist towards whites in America. Racism on the individual level can still happen towards white people, but in the US there are no systemic forces that oppress white people.

@@priapulida es ist psychopatisch, es ist Ablenkung von den wirklichen Problemen und es ist gefährlich in dem Moment, wo jede Art von Zweifel oder Gegenargument niedergeschmettert wird, oder als rechts/rassistisch abgestempelt.

George Takei (Hikaru Sulu from the Star Trek franchise) was in one of the Japanese internments camps as a child. He wrote a graphic novel about his experiences with his family called "They Called Us Enemy".

Just one example of what fear and ignorance can do.

Kein Vergeben. Kein Vergessen.

The same is true for people here (The Netherlands) finding out some of their family members, even if they are deceased for quite some time were part of the NSDAP or NSB. Unfortunately somehow people are not realising there's a fascist-to-be in our national government right now and are actively in favor of him and his party becoming bigger...

And even though we do all that, there are still large groups in our society that lack the understanding of what history should teach us. Not to mention, that the words race or xenophobia occured not once in my time at a German school. History really is one of the most important subjects, not because of what happened but because of what is not supposed to happen again. Discussions harming this process of understanding and improvement indeed are infuriating.

It's not so much WHAT is taught but HOW. In the US, CRT in early grade levels (little kids) has lead to cases where little white kids are forced to say sorry to black kids for things they are not responsible for.
How would you feel if your six years old was forced at school to ask for the forgiveness of their jewish schoolmates for the holocaust?

Could not agree more. And with what we seeing with the rise of right wind parties and fascists all over Europe the history serves as a lesson to have to be prevented in the future.

The problem is that too many whites believe the rest of the world thinks like them.

Just because the entire CRT program isn’t taught in high schools and grammar schools doesn’t mean parts of it aren’t. It’s not actually about teaching history and although it’s promoted as “anti-racist” civil rights education, CRT actively encourages discriminatíon. At its core, CRT segregates everyone into two main categories (øppressed and oppressørs), based solely on skin color and racíal ídentity.
CRT has its foundation with Derek Bell and is inspired by ideas from the Błack Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s. CRT teaches to no longer see people as individuals but to see people as separate group identities. Assigning positive or negative traits based solely upon these group (groups based on skín color and perceived racíal identity).
The tenets of CRT go far beyond the humanities. In some classrooms in Oregon and California for example, students operate under the understanding that finding the correct answer in mathematics is racíst. “Right” and “wrong” answers are deemed a product of white supremacy. The proponents of CRT’s mental gymnastics required to reach such a conclusion would be amusing, if this destructive ideology didn’t pose a very real danger to education in our society..
We all agree that racïsm and discrimination are absolutely wrong and have no place in our society or in our classrooms…. Nor does the racially motivated divisive mindset that CRT promotes.
When anyone claims CRT isn’t being taught in-K-12, that-semantícs… Because while the entire program isn’t, that doesn’t mean elements of it aren’t. History is being taught in schools and it shouldn’t be watered down. If anything we tend to overlook the suffering of many others across the world and tens of thousands of years of slavery (not just hundreds of years).
Let’s look at CRT/BLM supporters own words:
“The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” - Ibram Kendi
“Błack people can’t be racíst.” - Michael Eric Dyson
“We believe that so long as the white race exists, all movements against what is called ‘racism’ will fail. Therefore, our aim is to abolish the white race.” - Noel Ignatiev
“If you abolish slavery, you abolish slaveholders. If you want to abolish racial oppression, you do away with whiteness.” - Noel Ignatiev
The Isis Papers, Frances Welsing described whíte people as the genetically defective descendants of “albino mutants” She wrote that due to this "defective" mutatíon, they may have been forcíbly expelled from Afríca. She also promoted the belief that “melanin” made błack people superior to whíte people.
Keep in mind his isn’t what I have said they want, these are CRT/BLM supporters own words and we should believe that they mean what they say.

People pushing CRT act like kids are being fed a whitewashed fairytale version of history when in reality, that's what they themselves are pushing.

PS: I wanted to edit my previous comment to add dates but accidentally deleted it...

I'm not surprised the catholic administrators did that. There are mass graves Full of unmarked indigenous children and mothers bodies interred because of the church doing things their way. Whether for ideology, profit, racism or a mix of these combined.

I’m glad I’m in a college with a Filipino club to learn about my culture, but it sucks only learning about the Philippines when Spain’s colonization, US colonization, and WWII.

Chances are they weren't fired for what they taught you, but for what part of the curriculum they did not teach in its stead.

WTF? Girl your ancestry its catholic...., what white mans POV? do you know that nowadays each country produces his own history, but for the last 70 years English historians have been the most influential ones.
The spaniards mixed with everything we ve seen, the spanish under a catholic premise give the citzenship, his ways and religion to the natives, building universities, auto governance, made them richer, they were in the court of the King, Almirants, Co-Kings... you name it, if your teacher read you in history you should know better.

Look up how Hawaii became a state. I didn't learn it till I watched how on cable TV 40 years after I graduated HS.

Race is important but America needs to get over it because China and Russia are manipulating that hatred and playing the US like a perfectly tuned recorder. The more social divisions America has, the more domestic strife there is, the less likely the US will have a unified front against China/Russia forign aggression.
Do you know how bigoted and xenophobic China is? It's insane. It's a monoculture and looks at other races and subordinate. They use the Uighurs as slave labour and harvest their organs for fuck's sake! The Han are the dominant race and view ANYone who isn't Han as inferior.
Shall we not complain about China, despite it's egregious racial inequality because our own house is not in order? But by comparison, America is racially harmonious if we judge China with the same standards. Calling this 'whataboutism' is a weak deflection of cultural moral equivalence. We're all human and we've learned that denying someone their freedom better be for a good reason, and China has yet to learn that lesson. Yet they're the ones who help fund corporate American media into pushing racially divisive narratives.
TL;DR--stop talking about race because it's holding America back and is part of the CCP's plan to socially divide the US. Or, if we continue to fixate on race, point the tip of the sword of justice to where it's needed most: China. For it is there where a genocide is currently taking place. Or to India, North Korea, or Nigeria where modern slavery still exists. America, by comparison, is pristine despite its sordid history.

@@R_A_3000 I got real lucky woth my Texas history classes. We thankfully spent more time on Civil Rights and Slavery, however it was still a pretty truncated experience as far as I remember. We also spent a whole Nine Weeks studying Multiple Schlerosis instead of history for some reason, which is an important subject, but why did we waste an entire quarter on it?

Hopefully the white kid was a bro and tried to lend the black kid his gun in solidarity if he wanted to carry out his wishes after that decision

​​@@Onigirli that's morbid humour, I don't know if I should laugh out of nervousness or a shared p.o.v.
I have my own stories of how judging by race and subsequently percieved character negatively affected by brother from as early as age 6 with police called in for a bomb threat because my brother brought batteries to school to finish building the pop bottle rocket in his library book. He grew up in Ontario during the "zero tolerance" era which resulted in any claim of bad behaviour could get him suspended. Mom says she would get nervous anytime the school called her work. Ironic thing is that as adults, my sister and I agree that our brother had/has a functional level of autism, what would then have been called Asperger's and the one time the school mentioned psychological assessment to my mom, they didn't explain to her what the reason or outcomes would be. Therefore she was left to decide on whether or not my brother got assessed based on an extremely flawed view of the world due to a lack of accurate information.
As for my sister and I, my sister at 13 wrote angst-filled and harm related things in a journal she carried with her to school and was suspended from attending her graduation ceremony after a classmate took her journal and showed the teacher. The following year in high-school (the same one I attended and I have no reason to believe the school wouldn't know we are sisters) the school marked my sister as ESL with her first language being jamaican patois. We lived in Toronto and the school was multi-racial, i.e. a lot of people would speak or understand patois, my sister was only just as good as any other who had strong jamaican ties (she spent 2 years in a jamaican school for the experience and to avoid being in the same school as our brother who had previously been sent to jamaica to finish his grade 5 year (age 10) because of the school or teachers relentlessness to criminalize him and force him into the foster system).
I therefore was lucky that I grew up hating myself for existing to avoid interacting with anyone whenever possible. Yet still in grade 8 (age 13) I was put into the "change your future" program which pulled you out of class to do what I referred to as remedial kindergarten such as coloring pictures with the other black girls my age they pulled. (I don't know if there were other classes for other demographics or how wide-spread the program was in the school but considering that the year before my teacher put me in a corner beside my known greatest distraction due to hearing a rumor that "there was trouble in the home" and then didn't notify my mother of my sudden decline in school work only occurring in her class) I was was pissed at the whole "change your future" bunk.

This breaks my heart and enrages me in equal measure. I'm so sorry you had these experiences.

As a German, I can agree. B u t the term “race theory” implies that there is a diversity of human “races” in the first place. Which we as Germans definitely learned - is not true. so to me, with my cultural background, it sound pretty racist.
For me it’s even hard to communicate with fellow Americans arguing about at this point. I like to go with the term ethnicity.

Lots of Germans and Brits with some strong feelings here. I wonder if there was ever a European nation that held slaves...

@@hanfbrot I agree ethnicity is generally a better term, but it's important to understand that although "race" isn't real in any biological sense, racism certainly is real in a cultural one. Which is what critical race theory studies.

@@hanfbrot I don't know if u noticed the struggle the translation of the Amanda Gormans Poem "The Hill we climb" into the german language caused. Among the Problems was the translation of the term "race". Bc the english term has not the exact meaning as the German term "Rasse". It's an oldfashioned term I don't like either in that context. But we agree that people can be racist towards each other bc they still use the old and insulting stereotypical and deregatory way of thinking and communicating they assume is right. And to point it out as that is important to adress that huge issue that still exists and is embedded in many layers of society. And that's what CRT is trying to do- to show that systemic und societal issues, that is actually humiliating towards people but seen as normal by many.

@@hanfbrot Barry
The creation story:
:God said; let us create man in our image... male and female created he them..."
GENESIS 1:26
It is a debasement of creation when a false narrative seek to divide the people.
There are good and evil people. No one group has the market on racism.
When however any government, the media, or the establishment tries to prejudice and guilt you into believing that a wgole group of people are racist, know without a doubt, that ther mottive is to pull the wool over the people's eyes, and to keep the people from seeing how they're robbing the people blind.
Added thought:
Each of us should ask one question; and that is who are the people whom they personally might disliked. And these people are those who lack good character.
Martin Luther King he. said it best, and I quote; " I look forward to the day when Jews and Gentiles, Blackson and White, Catholics and Jews can finally join hands and singing in that old Negro spiritual, free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty we are free at last."

@Andrew Sokolowski The Holocaust isn't still ongoing in Germany, now is it?

We do teach uncomfortable parts history in the American school system. Have for generations. Wild idea don't trust the word of a man who didn't go through the American school system and his kids don't either, and his research is done by a team that also doesn't live like other Americans and has corporate handlers have to approve of his episodes.

Idk I scored 5/5 on the AP US history exam after having been taught that the Civil War was fought over states’ rights.

@Andrew Sokolowski CRT isn't telling you you are directly responsible for racism. That's not at all what it is saying. Besides again it's a graduate level theory of teaching, and judging from your misunderstanding of the topic I can guess you never came close to actually learning about it

Getting "teached"???

You see ted cruz talking in LWT, you see Dr. Oliver's poem

You'll only ever hear "there isn't much racism here" from a white person.

Of course, cause what they say is. Never racist this it doesn't exist.

They're saying "there isn't much racism, so long as the bar of racism is above all the racist things I say"

The racism is rampant among minorities in America. They're allowed to be as racist as can be, because according to morons across the Liberal front, they are incapable of being racist. Which is just one dumb thing the left does and says.

@@meowertwelve6262 That's because they haven't been indoctrinated to believe race is the only factor in life. Race obsessed idiots of all colors, are the bigger problem. They blame everything that goes wrong on race.

Except you have no evidence to back such statements up. Simply anecdotes. Academia needs to be founded on empiricism.

@@peterb5235 it's not lumping them in with disabled people, skin color is not a disability. It's giving examples of people that are discriminated against.

@@peterb5235 no it doesn't. It merely shows that all manners of people are discriminated against. It's a wise lesson from the teacher, to show that discrimination comes in a lot of different forms, and learning empathy towards those discriminated against will make those students better at recognizing it in the future. It in no way insinuates that skin color is a disability.

@@peterb5235 The irony, as your comment is deeply offensive and ignorant of people with disabilities, many of whom do not “suffer”…🤦🏼‍♂️🙄 SMFH. That’s ableism at its finest - and you can’t even see your own bigotry as you criticize others of the same 🥴

@@tysonkauth7232 Exactly. And Peter here makes odd assumptions about people living with disabilities too, his disdain for skin colour being lumped in speaks friggen volumes about what he really thinks about people with disabilities SMFH.

CRT isn't even thought in K-12 schools. It's only ever been taught in a few law schools.

@@B_Bodziak that has been disproven tenfold.

Well said... our 3rd grade history class was mostly native American history. It was well balanced. But we need to know why and how it happened! I think the more we know the better our children will be. They are there to present our children with the facts even if offends a race. The truth is the truth and it should be part of history

@@felwinter7883 Have any sources to back up your claim?

@@Chaoitcme it's called the Internet, you're literally using it right now.

Yeah. Not to mention things he openly advocated for like protesting Vietnam and pushing the Poor Peoples Campaign would have labeled him a “radical woke socialist” by the same people who use King’s dream as a shield.

I sometimes wonder what MLK would think if he were watching what's happening in Philly, Houston, and Chicago today.

Exactly! America went from “home of the free and land of the brave” to “home of the slave and land of the cowards.” These rightwing RepubliCULTS are the biggest snowflake I’ve ever seen.

@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106 Home of the afraid. White Christians cannot accept that they won't dominate the country anymore. Well, you sold yourself out to the capitalists and now you're dealing with the rise of races that have historically been lower class because they're cheaper. Deal with it.

he suffered the big hit , being a trailblazer,going through so many days consecutively, like a linebacker breaking through so many lines of questioning, so many speeches, sermons and to so many pulpits. How exhausting!

I read Maus as an adult and it’s a searing depiction of the Holocaust and its after effects on the survivors, depicted in terms a child could easily understand. It’s crazy that people are trying to censor it.

99% They didn't ban it for coarse language. 100% they don't like Jews.

I also think it's important that we learn about the atrocities so that we don't repeat them in the future.
I once visited a former concentration camp/museum in Poland and I felt emotions that could never be expressed in words. Yet, I've encountered adults that deny it ever happened. We need to keep talking about these uncomfortable topics so we don't go backwards or repeat them.

It's worth noting that being uncomfortable is one thing. When I visited Dachau when I was in high school, it was incredibly uncomfortable and mind-blowing. But, it's worth noting that it's not at all the same thing as what's being done in the US educational system where they'll pile onto that a bunch of racist lies in an effort to persecute white minority groups that may not have had anything to do with the particular issue that's being covered. My family arrived in the US after the civil war and settled into an area that was far away from any slavery, but somehow I'm supposed to be responsible and to contribute towards reparations even though for nearly that entire period, my family was dirt poor and barely any better off than the emancipated slaves. History is heavily sanitized to remove any mention of the ethnic cleansing of various white minority groups moving into the US up until the post-war period. There isn't even any meaningful acknowledgement when WWII covers up that internment camps were not Japanese only, in addition to the Chinese and other Asian groups that were close enough, there were Germans and Italians purposefully moved there, the reason why it was mostly Japanese had mainly do to with the fact that the Japanese were heavily centralized in the exclusion region and weren't as easily relocated to parts of the country not subject to the restrictions.
I remember literally being told that black people now have high blood pressure because several centuries ago slaves pissed on each other on the ships they were brought to the US on. It was deeply uncomfortable to have to be the one to point out that it's bullshit. And it goes on fairly often where the schools are telling outright lies in order to inform the students that are just as racist as the racism that they're claiming to oppose.
It's really disappointing that we accept this kind of bullshit. There's got to be a way that we can be opposed to neo-Nazis and the Klan without buying into the racist narrative that everything has been peachy-keen for various white groups that are all basically the same monsters that perpetuated race wars for centuries and delight in torturing and murdering people of color. I mean, they literally had to invent the idea of Hispanics in order to justify excluding various white ethnic groups from consideration. Even though Hispanic isn't even a real thing, it's a massive number of ethnicities that have basically nothing in common other than a common language.

You ask how these things can be taught without mentioning their horrors...but that's exactly it. Regarding the Civil War, groups like the Daughters of the Confederacy gave schools history books that practically omitted slavery and rewrote that the war was just about land ownership in the south...not about the right to own slaves, as it actually is. Because it made them uncomfortable, they'd rather scrub away that it ever happened as opposed to learning from it. John mentions this in the video and now, it's happening yet again.

The weird thing is that in the US, we had a similar education on the holocaust at least where I’m from. Just not on our own history

Yeah... yeah. It's bad over here. We don't learn about smallpox blankets and the genocides the American people have committed. I learned "slavery bad, there were whips and also slave ships were bad. Okay so then the damnable Yanks came storming down and killed a fuckton of good people just for owning slaves. Oh also some natives died but that's not really important."

maximilianwmueller, It's worse than that. The republicans are openly fascist and racist, pursuant to the former loser president's scheme. He gave us 4 miserable years of lies, hate, and the distrust of science. Many are still teetering on the edge as they die, refusing to get a Covid vaccine, and are now intubated.

Well-said!

@@ellapowell3437 That's just crazy. Imagine if the Germans only learned about the Vietnam War instead of their dark history... I bet the US would have their objections to that.

Some people's obsession with reenacting B-movies is going a little too far.

The Chinese Communist Party does openly talk about how they like to leverage the American cultural divisions on race to fracture the US society.
America is easier to play than the recorder.

This is what American media does to you, you start to see villains

@@Hainabification You're wasting your breath. There is no cure for brainwashing.

@@Hainabification are you saying that people do not change their opinions?

I agree, CRT is that really about history? That aside, what do you know of what Italians went through in the US? As a Sicilian myself, I’m curious what you know.

Try being British! We teach history, but don't talk about the opium wars, our role in the American civil war, the Irish Famine, the devolved nations getting forced into Union, the East India Trading Company, Suez Canal, Churchill sending the army to shoot Welsh miners, Kenya, Windrush.....

It's only tough when the teacher is peddling the wrong interpretation to make modern day people who had nothing to do with anything feel bad. Why don't they teach people that black slavers caught and sold the slaves ever? That's why people are against CRT, biased view points that are 'uncomfortable'

@valdurian I'm so sure that is the exact reason. I've heard and read a plethora of court and government officials, politicians, parents and saying that is the reason they are opposed to teaching ANYTHING they don't like. Bull! As a descendant of slaves, freemen, and white Europeans I can say we know that African tribes sold other members of opposing African tribes. It was taught. Maybe not where you are from? That's not the issue. The issue is people don't want to teach any of it at all. How are we supposed to add that lesson and history to those courses when people are saying the courses shouldn't exist in the first place? That's like saying 'some people are allergic to peanuts, so we shouldn't show pictures, movies, books or talk about peanut butter. Ever.'

@@valdurion6779 1) of course modern day people still have to do with the stuff back then. the discrimination of black people in the USA continues until today. kk2157 says they are Italian - and Italian voters just recently voted a neo-fascist into office. So of course the present is connected to the past. 2) of course there were black slavers in Africa, but does that excuse the white slave traders, the white slave buyers, and the white slave owners? You don't have to feel personally guilty for something you didn't do, but the segregation of black people in the USA is still happening, as you can see in the examples in the video you are commenting (e.g. the game of separating students into blue and brown eyed groups)

Wow, that's a pretty nice quote

Amen

You mean the white liberals who been running minority communitys for over 100 years, providing zero change or improvement then blaming it on conservatives? Lol
