Blacks are allowed to disagree now.
"Racism" as defined IM2 and his supporters in this forum refers to any white person who objects to all the race hatred directed at them by IM2 and his ilk. It also involves disagreeing with anything he says if you are a white person, not supporting his attempts to intimidate in order to create privilege or stop short of complete abject sycophancy towards him and the anti-white agenda of his. As such, he will assail any of his fellow black people if they fall short of the seething race hatred he feels. Successful black people who get along with white people just fine are a threat to him because their success and amicability undermine the fantasies he spins about those white devils and their imaginary systemic racism keeping blacks from making something of themselves.OH DAMN.. You mean in the GOOD OLE DAYS blacks like Dubois and Booker T. were ALLOWED to disagree about what's good for Black folk?
Were you get calling only conservative black politicians "sell-outs"., Tell me EXACTLY what they promise the voters.. And why no "straight thinking" black person should choose them over Woken and slightly shaken Marxists nowadays..
I am black flacaltenn, I think I know what I am talking about here. You have been explained why blacks are called sellouts. You are stuck on slogans. You have been told that blacks want to see better public safety. Blacks who continue to defend the current method of law enforcement deserve the disdain they get. You are here giving me your white mans opinion on being black. It's an opinion that has no experience with it. Iam a black man, I am telling you how blacks see things. You don't know how we do so better than we do so shut the fuck up and listen.No they're not.. Where you stand on defunding the police? Dont think blacks have been called sell-outs and ex-communicated for asserting that?
We're asking you to STATE positions and EXPLAIN stuff and all we get is noise and flack.. If ya hate talking about race with white people -- this is the wrong place to be Dude..

Black right wingers are not working for the best interests of black people. They echo the beliefs, ideokogy and agenda of the anti black right. So then if you are black and choose to propose policies and ideas that will make things worse foyr blacks, we have no reason to support them and we have every right to denigrate, shame and purge them from political relevance.
What the artcle says dumb ass, is the fact that whites like you vote for a black person who you support only because they will work against black interest does not prove that systemic racism doesn't exist. So lets get something straight here white man, the only race diciders in America today are right wing whites. And if you quit drink that racist kool aid, you'd understand that is a fact.
In the context of CRT it is highly racist whites who are the loudest and angriest, like the right wingers here at USMB. They are truly irredeemable. They are beyond help or reason.
I don't know why there are whites who are racists,
I find his profile page illuminating.Oh yes you do.. We're racists because the ORIGIN of this country was born in the time of world-wide slavery.. And we're racist because of all the damage that whites have done to blacks SINCE then.. You've got 1000s of pages of "Listen Up White People" lectures on this forum.. And WE'VE been reading them. And we've all been called RACIST by you. Because we dont judge ANYONE by their ancestors removed by CENTURIES and you do..
You've explained why EVERYTHING racist IS OUR FAULT.. Dont run from that without apologies please..
That's a lie. The right made an issue out of CRT and it's not even taught in K-12.
Let me guess this guy is not really black, right?
Black father tells board CRT keeps racism on 'life support', moments later they vote to ban it
A father in Colorado Springs who is the descendant of slaves slammed critical race theory during a public school district’s board meetingwww.foxnews.com
I notice she doesn’t volunteer to give up her freedom and experience this happy life.
And since you are a poven bonafide racist, the racism I talk about can't be imaginary.

From what I read it is not white people who are attacking Asian people in the large urban areas of our nation. It also seems blacks attack Hispanics even more than they attack Asians. I don’t read many stories about whites attacking blacks or Hispanics for no reason. Whites tend to attack whites.Of course there's only so much "theory" you can teach to 8 - 12 yr olds. But that won't stop some dedicated prejudicial black authors from condensing the elements of CRT and whiteness down to their basic elements and weaving a "storyline" into it..

Best pages of this work.. The DEVIL makes a white kid sign the contract.
View attachment 560130
------------------------------
A private Manhattan elementary school which charges $55,000-a-year tuition is among dozens of schools across the US teaching from children's book that features a shadowy devil figure that offers the reader a 'whiteness contract.'
Rufo says the book, 'traffics in the noxious principles of race essentialism, collective guilt and anti-whiteness.'
Also according to the book: 'Skin color makes a difference in how the world sees you and in how you see the world,' and 'your skin color affects the most ordinary daily experiences.'
The suit alleges Illinois' Evanston-Skokie district was treating students and employees differently based on race.
In one instance, for example, suit says the district asked teachers to take part in racially segregated 'affinity groups' for an exercise.
It also alleges that teachers were forced to undergo 'antiracist training,' and uses the teaching of Not My Idea in the district as one of the examples of ways the district is discriminating against white people.
This is how I WISH this thread will go.. It's a debate covered in the Atlantic between the AUTHOR and a lefty staff writer for the Atlantic who disagrees with the author's way of introducing young children to the race issue.. It's CIVIL and CORDIAL and useful.. Just like the members of USMB are use to hearing.. I've heavily snipped it. Go READ IT before you comment..
‘Nobody Wants White Kids to Feel Bad About Their Race’
The children’s-book author Anastasia Higginbotham and I disagree about how to teach young Americans about police killings and racism.www.theatlantic.com
Clearly we had deep disagreements over an issue families and educators all over America are grappling with: What exactly should we teach children about race, police killings, and the relationship between the two? I suggested to Higginbotham that we air our differences through an email exchange, and she agreed.
Read: How to talk to kids about racism and police
She argues that, at the earliest possible age, white kids should be taught to identify whiteness as the root of racial injustice so that they can reject the pervasive racism that they would otherwise embody. I think her account of what causes police killings is too monocausal and that her zeal for uprooting racism sometimes strays into overgeneralization based in racial stereotyping. Regardless, her message that kids can choose to reject racism is laudable, and many school districts find it valuable. What follows is an edited and condensed version of our discussion.
Higginbotham: The book I made teaches young children about whiteness—it is not about police brutality. The problem in the book is not that police kill innocent people; it’s that the child’s white family refuses to discuss the significance of these killings with the child, who is left alone in confusion and self-doubt. No matter the crisis, my focus is on growing up by knowing yourself and your world. My books guide a child toward the resources of their own instincts and imagination, as well as family members who can offer support. In Not My Idea, white family members turn away from the child’s pain in the face of racist violence, and so my book points them to the library.
You call my assertion that violent white supremacy is embedded into all of our systems too “complex” for children to evaluate. But racism is not complex; the human beings who perpetuate it are. I have perpetuated racism without believing in it—that is complicated. Racism itself is ridiculous. Elevating a people’s worthiness, morality, intelligence, cleanliness, aptitude, and dignity based on skin tone—that is a terrible idea, it was not my idea, and I will spend my life revealing and unlearning that nonsense and making sure kids can, too, as young as possible.
You write, “Many systems in America are clearly neither violent nor white supremacist.” But that’s not how whiteness works. Any place where there are white people has violent white supremacy embedded into it because it is embedded in us. Do I kill people? No. Does my call to 911? It might. So long as we give the lies and distortions of whiteness space inside our bodies and minds, we are its hosts. We bring it into every room, interaction, classroom, and child we raise unprepared to question it.

Who is “we” and who is ignoring human trafficking, or the horror of forced family seperation at the border that has hundreds of children in limbo without family, or the genocide in Myanmar and China? Not me. Maybe it’s the folks whining about ”white replacement” theory.Yet we sit here getting lectured about how we ALL are inherently racist and IGNORE the slavery and human trafficking right under our noses.
I don’t see a lot of caucuses out there doing a damn thing about any of tbe above….what has the so-called Freedom caucus done? When it comes to China you and I might agree. Why are we ALLOWING a foreign country to dictate our own citizen’s rights of free speech in our own country? Why no rightwing OUTRAGE? Any threads on it? How threads on CRT out there? But all that is really irrelevant to the issue hand which is:I don't see the Congressional Black Caucus or the UN passing condemnations of present day slavery.. Nor the NBA who relies on CHINA for about 20% of their sports licensing revenue. When only ONE black NBA player has the balls to point out the slavery in China PICKING COTTON for god's sake, we're not fixing racism or slavery or anything else here except comparing the sins of our ancestors and and using RACISM as the ONLY explanation for current inequities in society. You have to understand shit in order to fix it.. Not TALKING about slavery -- fixes nothing.
How should the issue of race and racism in America be taught in K12?I have seen this with my own eyes in the Middle East. When I was younger and it still goes on today. REAL SLAVERY that is ignored by the whole planet while posters like IM2 ramble on about how oppressed they are today.
Nothing but fantasy bred by brainwashing our country while we ignore what is happening all over the world right now.
Slavery Rampant in Africa, Middle East; The West Wrongly Accuses Itself
For the intersectional activists, the US is the world's biggest oppressor -- not China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, or Iran. "What the media do not tell you is that America is the best place on the planet to be black, female, gay, trans or what have you.www.gatestoneinstitute.org
"What the media do not tell you is that America is the best place on the planet to be black, female, gay, trans or what have you. We have our problems and we need to address those. But our society and our systems are far from racist". — Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Twitter, June 9, 2020.
"The new anti-racism is racism disguised as humanism (...) It implies that every white person is bad... and that every black person is a victim". — Abnousse Shalmani, born in Tehran, now living in Paris, to Le Figaro, June 12, 2020.
Today slavery still exists in many parts of Africa and Middle East, but the self-flagellating Western public is obsessively focused only on the Western past of African slavery rather than on real, ongoing slavery, which is alive and well -- and ignored. For today's slaves, there are no demonstrations in the streets, no international political pressure, and virtually no articles in the media.
It isn’t increasing so much as moving from the Mexico side to the American side of the Border. Remain in Mexico policy led to a huge increase of trafficking, kidnapping, rape and murder in what is largely a lawless part of Mexico. The only difference is no one cared then.Child trafficking from our Southern border has escalated under Biden. And we are in here talking about CRT BS...........
pfft.
How Biden’s border policies will increase sex trafficking of children to US
A recent image of Ecuadorian girls, aged 3 and 5, being dropped like packages over the southern border wall shocked many Americans. But it didn’t shock experts who say that human traffickers are bu…
“They are held in apartments in Queens against their will and driven from appointment to appointment to have sex with men,” said Conlon, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York. “They see 15, 20 men in an evening and all money is handed over to the trafficker.”
