Critical Race Theory (Page 7)

lori100: liberal schools lower test standards for minorities---------Oregon’s decision to eliminate standards was consistent with critical race theory. Since minorities meet these graduation standards at a lower rate than whites, they need to be discarded, according to critical race theorists, even if these standards measured useful skills.

The most famous critical-race theorist is Ibram Kendi. His book How to Be an Antiracist, is a “comprehensive introduction to critical race theory,” notes the leading progressive media organ Slate. Kendi’s views are celebrated in the Washington Post and the New York Times. The Times touts Kendi’s axiom that “When I see racial disparities, I see racism.”

If blacks and Hispanics meet Oregon’s standards at a lower rate than whites and Asians, that is proof of “racism” to Kendi, who teaches that every unequal outcome – economic, educational, social — that can be measured is the product of racism. He argues that the “use of standardized tests to measure aptitude and intelligence is one of the most effective racist policies every devised to degrade Black minds and legally exclude Black bodies.”

Kendi is wrong to claim that unequal racial outcomes are all due to racism. Many obviously are not. For example, Latinos live three years longer than whites, on average, even though doctors don’t discriminate in their favor. Asians make more money than whites, on average, even though Japanese and Chinese Americans used to face massive discrimination. And while blacks make less money than whites, on average, immigrants from some African countries like Ghana and Nigeria typically make more money than whites do.

laffer80: America rewards ability and effort.

Henry Lewis Gates, a black American and Harvard Historian, notes that 306,000 black slaves came to America from Africa. Compare that to this fact: 2 million African blacks came to America VOLUNTARILY in the last 50 years alone.

America is not racist. Just ask African blacks.

More millions would have come if not for immigration limits.

Kendi teaches that every unequal outcome is proof of racism. That in itself teaches racism, for the only way you can believe this “proof” is to BE racist - against whites.

As an example, take sports athletes in the NBA, NFL and MLB, all of which are disproportionately non-white. According to Kendi, that unequal outcome is proof of racism against white people. Yet we all know Kendi would deny his own “proof” because the “victims” here are white.

America is not racist. Just ask any non-racist black.

laffer80: CRT? Why would anyone want to TEACH racism? 🤔

lori100: Beto O'Rourke comes out against critical race theory in schools

laffer80: They are all running away from it publicly now because it has galvanized parents. Unfortunately it’s just words. They will do nothing to stop it.

lori100: During a diversity training, teachers at Cherokee Middle School, a middle school in Springfield, Missouri, were provided a handout and were instructed to locate themselves on an "oppression matrix," according to City Journal. The training also denounced "socially unacceptable" White supremacy, which included "education funding from property tax, colorblindness, calling the police on black people, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) as Halloween costumes, not believing experiences of BIPOC, tone policing, [and] white silence."

lori100: Another example included when a third-grade teacher in Cupertino, Calif., reportedly instructed students on how to "deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their ‘power and privilege.’"

laffer80: Lori, when you are wrong on every issue, scream “Racism!” Then RUN so you don’t have to justify it. Lol.

WHlSKY:
Looks like CRT is still needed as violent racist acts are yet an issue.

laffer80: I thought lefties didn’t admit CRT was taught in schools? 😂

WHlSKY:
Where was anything said about ‘schools’ in my post?

Laffer, little laffer, smh if you’re struggling to comprehend one sentence, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously..

Papi Oso:

WHlSKY:
Lori, when can I expect you to take time to create an album with an obsessive bunch of screenshots over me? You are lagging behind Laffer80.

Do it!

laffer80: CRT is racism. Strange way to combat racism. 😂. If only they would stop teaching CRT racism in schools! The world would be a better place. 😊👍

lori100: oso why do you want babies to be racists??

WHlSKY: *pats little lori on the head*

One day you too will manage to make a coherent statement.
