Your response was ...
"Well if it isn't being taught anywhere, him cancelling it isn't even a thing."

I told you why it is a thing. Why are you fine with white people trying to cancel black history?


So you are saying that CRT is black history?

I have never promoted cancelling any type of history much less black history.

You said this earlier:


Then you say:


There is zero contradiction there. I don’t know what to tell you other than you’re suffering from a failure of reading comprehension.

Do you now agree with me that your prior argument was bad?

My argument about loan discrimination was purely to make a point, it's not backed up by any data. However, the point is a valid representation of what could happen if an institution is racist. In fact, I'd wager this has happened before.
No, it was an attempt to offer a non-racist justification for discrimination in lending. If you have no evidence to back it up then it doesn’t do that. It’s just bullshitting.

I've offered everything that you couldn't dispute. Which is why you're sitting here calling me names and trying to ask mods to ban me.
You've offered nothing but parroted, worthless, rhetorical tropes. You either believe the bullshit, or you're spewing them when you know they're false. Either way, you're a clown.
Okay, so just a disingenuous troll, gotchya. Typical for the clown brigade here, you'll fit in the clown car nicely, but I have a feeling you were already in there.

do you guys sit around in prayer while holding each other's dicks before you jump into random forums spraying your mouth diarrhea everywhere?
And there's the ad hominem attack right on cue. You guys are awful colorful - perhaps some projection going on as well?

Sure, teach the history of communism. Don't see anything wrong with it. Teaching communism isn't teaching people that they are inherently oppressors or victims. That won't cause a racial divide.

Ruby Bridges? I looked into it and as far as I see, they're trying to cancel that book because there's no "redemption" at the end, so maybe it seems too grim to teach children. I'm not sure. I don't think it should be cancelled though. The truth is the truth. If anything, wait until children are older to show them that book.

That's not to say that every truth should be taught; a book like that fits well into the slavery/segregation topic.

If you start teaching all kinds of truths that otherwise go undiscovered, you eventually black pill everyone. When everyone is black pilled, society crumbles. Teaching people about how good the rich have it, or how good attractive people have it, does nothing but fuel hatred. Nothing good comes from it. Just like teaching people that institutions are racist, that white people are guilty at birth, that black people are owed reparations.. nothing good comes from this. It takes the individual out of the equation and lumps people into categories that they may or may not fit. Not something that belongs in school.


Interesting. So despite being told what CRT is, you continue to pretend it’s something else.

Tell me you are an idiot without telling me you are an idiot.

Let me break it down for you.

For the same reason that if students don’t notice geology on their own we would want to inform them of it.
This statement above says CRT should be taught because students wouldn't otherwise be aware of it. So it's our duty to inform them.

the standard for if kids should be taught something is not if they noticed it themselves.
This statement above says CRT should not be taught just because students didn't notice it themselves.

Keep hiding behind that claim that I don't understand what CRT is. It doesn't make you look smart to keep typing it out. I gave a definition which you expanded upon with specifics. I know exactly what it is, heck I've even read some of the outlandish dissertations on the subject. The fact that terms like "whiteness" and "blackness" even exist in those dissertations tells me how incredibly dense one must be to champion those viewpoints.

You leftists want white people to get on their knees and kiss black people's feet, and for black people to be given the world over in reparations, all while you get to post a black square on instagram and brag to people about how virtuous and equitable you are as a white savior, in a vain attempt to improve your low status among society. Newsflash: if you are the target of a crime, you will get robbed and beaten just as badly as someone who believes the exact opposite of what you believe.

Uhmm…no it does not. It says the reason it should be taught is the same as the reason geology should be taught, but never specifies that reason. (The reason is that geology and a basic understanding of the planet is valuable knowledge)

This is a reading comprehension fail.

Wow, another new account that just so happens to have right wing views. Surely this is an incredible coincidence.

I don’t really understand why you guys think the whole ‘you’re the real racist!’ thing is a good argument. Do you actually think anyone is convinced by it?
Because you ARE racist by definition. This isn't complicated. By naturally assuming someone dressing like a gangster is black, you are literally displaying a racist mindset. This is all too common amongst your ilk.

You then engage in a significant amount of projection to try to take attention and responsibility away from yourself because you're unable (or perhaps unwilling) to take the time to fix yourself.

Because it isn't taught in schools.

Now, you are saying it's not because it isn't taught in schools, it's because geology is valuable knowledge? Stop lying dude.

That is quite simply not what my post said and now you’re trying to invent things it said as opposed to admitting you made a mistake.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, there’s no shame in it. Just say ‘whoops I didn’t understand what you said’ and move on. Trust me, it will go far better than if you keep digging.

Now, you are saying it's not because of what I just typed, it's because geology is valuable knowledge? Stop lying dude.
No, I’m saying you failed to read and understand what I wrote. It was not a complicated sentence.

Lol you gave a made up definition, one as defined by your right wing handlers. Now, instead of acknowledging your error you’ve resorted to red herrings.

I suggest you go back to whatever forum you originally came from, this isn’t a safe space for you, we don’t coddle stupid people and we destroy Ben Shapiro wannabes by calling out their inconsistencies and logical fallacies like I did with your post.

I await your next laughable response.

No redemption? Who says history has to have a redemption? That's not history that's a political agenda. The Ruby Bridges story is TRUE REAL history not your whitewashed version. You are so worried about those poor little white kids not being able to handle the truth, did you even notice that little black girl in the picture? She's an adult now. Think she has any lifetime scars? Think that story should be hidden?

Unfucking believable.

On second thought I completely believable you would think that.

There was a debate on changing the name of the Edmund Pettis Bridge before the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. I'm glad they didn't because each anniversary people should never forget who Edmund Pettis was and what he represented. I'm sure that's just another piece of history you want to hide from your precious white kids.

Want some positive history Republicans managed to fuck up? One of the most meaningful pieces of legislation was the 65 Voting Rights Act. It would not have passed without Republicans in the Senate at the time. In 2004 Republicans voted unanimously to re-authorize. Today, it would get ZERO votes.

There's your positive history but unfortunately it goes off the rails in the wrong direction

I'm saying Republicans are labeling black history as CRT as a premise to cancel it. Just like them doing it to the book by Ruby Bridges. Their claim is complete bullshit.

They are doing it to some of MLK's writings as well.

Your quote said "what's wrong with them doing it" My answer, this is what's wrong with it.

I have never claimed black history was CRT because it isn't.

I have never promoted any form of revisionist history.

I have no problem banning True CRT from being taught anywhere, but in a college classroom where it belongs and where it was meant to be taught.

I am against banning books in any form. I do favor some books being restricted to children until they are age appropriate. They shouldn't ban the book by Ruby Bridges no more than they should ban To Kill a Mockingbird.

If Republicans passed laws to ban college courses from being taught in public schools I would feel differently. However that isn't what is going on and I suspect you know it as well even if you would never admit it.
