If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

If I wasn't watching this video I would immediately label this guy a possible blm protestor. It seems that his looks betray his intelligence. He has such a cute little girl and is doing a grand job of educating her. She's smarter than some of the posters here, even at her age.

Many of today's blacks and whites ignore what MLK said long ago, to judge a person by his character. I failed in the onset, I looked at his dreadlocks and immediately I goofed. My apologies to him.

Excellent quote. As someone who was one of those radicals 60 years ago, and one of those liberals 30 years ago, and someone who refuses to accept the racist label today, this really hits home.

Great message from a father to his sweet daughter.

The Proliferation Of Critical Race Theory Is Killing American Schools With Politics

Exposing The Left’s Dishonesty About Critical Race Theory Criticism

Quote:Critical race theory (CRT) has become a highly contentious subject in American discussion as conservatives push back on the expansion of its doctrine in curriculum for children. In response, the proponents of CRT, which encourages people to view history, society and one another through an obsessively racial lens, are resorting to deeply dishonest tactics.

It is, of course, not inconsequential to change the way children are taught. The teachings of the next generation are the foundation of the future and how young people are told to view themselves is ultimately the most impactful lesson. When Americans express concern for the incorporation of racial teachings in schools, they should be heard and not dismissed by liberal elites.

In a fundamentally dishonest opinion piece for The Washington Post titled “Why conservatives really fear critical race theory,” Christine Emba discussed her theories about why some have pushed back against CRT and Black Lives Matter (BLM) movements.

She claimed that Republicans — and white people “in particular” — have grown less supportive of the BLM movement than they were before the death of George Floyd last year because “theoretical discussions of racial injustice turned into a more direct personal challenge to the race in power.”

“Calls for racial accountability can feel like an attack when you aren’t ready to acknowledge how your behavior, or that of your ancestors, has harmed others. When your priority is to preserve a particular mythology — the United States as a land of equal opportunity — the push to take a critical view of the United States’ racial history becomes a threat,” she wrote.

In today’s culture where discussions about race are everywhere — in our corporate media, schools, and even businesses, Emba wrote that “[s]uggesting you’d rather not change the racial status quo is seen, justifiably, as immoral. But disguising one’s discomfort with racial reconsideration as an intellectual critique is still allowed.”

In other words, in Emba’s imagination, any critique of critical race theory is motivated by racism and an attempt to create and sustain a system that inherently oppresses minorities. Advancing the idea that those who oppose CRT are simply resisting giving up power is dismissive, promotes stereotypes, and shuts down any possibility of debate.

Questioning critical race theory is not racist. CRT demands that people view the issues in the country today within an inexorable racial framework. Immediately assigning motive to criticism offers no chance for debate, especially if that motive is given to an entire collective of people without trying to see them as individuals.

Young men like that should give us all hope.

Racism is real and it's only going to get worse until this country acknowledges our history of racism and does things to change it.

That is the problem with the right. They refuse to even acknowledge racism.

Racism is real and coming overwhelming from the left. That's the problem with the left, they think they are against racism but everything they want to do is racist. It will only get worse until the Dems confront their own racism and terrible history.

There was a whole thread on the Tulsa Massacre memorial event being cancelled to due to greed. It was definitely mentioned.

Lincoln was President over 100 years ago. The republican party has changed a lot since them.

The Democractic Party hasn't changed much.

I've decided I will no longer lower myself to conversing with pandering little racists like dumbforth.
