🌎 Discussion: Civil Rights, Affirmative Action, Critical Race Theory, Systemic Inequality, and Racism - Part 4

[MagnarTheGreat]

This is more religious discrimination but still stupid.

 

[Teelie]

It's religious discrimination favoring Christians therefore it's totally okay with Republicans and a large chunk of the SCOTUS.

It was always about forcing more white births.

[Teelie]

I can see this backfiring spectacularly with non-white people using it against white people, especially politicians.

NBC News - Florida school district cancels professor’s civil rights lecture over critical race theory concerns

Republicans are banning talk about civil rights and black history which was the end goal all along.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Trying to ban it from college, too? There is nowhere they won't stop. I honestly thought they'd wait before expanding to higher ed. But nopw. College students study the theories of ******* Machiavelli but CRT is off-limits? It's pure racism, pure censorship, and the press & centrist pols are normalizing it, rather than treating it like the insanity it is. They keep deferring to "respecting the parents," framing these stories in a way that seems to agree that parents have a "right" to prevent their child from learning differing views. And they call it "parental rights" instead of "brainwashing" and "child abuse."

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

They RepubliQans are in the process of banning or have already banned the talk of LGBT and black history everywhere they have power and where they don't they are plotting to do it.

Racists' fragility law

Their narrative is that CRT is somehow anti-white. In the past there were whites who fought for justice. CRT opposes racism past, present and future.

 

[Teelie]

Republicans are threatened by it because it describes them.

[Teelie]

We already knew it was racially motivated so them admitting to it in order to get a better prison is not worth it.

Holy mother ****ing hell...

Good job on the numbering, reality...

One less ******* on the police force.

That particular police force, anyway. He'll probably go one town over and get hired.
