I've been falsely accused of running amok. The truth is at one time I ran a mok but trust me, there's just no money in it.

 

[crandc]

Agree with almost everything on @Lanny's list except people sometimes have to come to work sick because they get fired if they miss days. Outrage against employer.

I am also outraged by those who define Christianity by how many of their neighbors they hate (gays, Jews, Muslims, immigrants).
I am outraged by children taken from parents at the border.
I am outraged that four white men who knowingly cast ballots in the name of dead relatives do they could vote for Trump twice got probation, but a Black woman who completed a prison term, turned her life around, was told in writing but incorrectly by probation officer she could now register to vote since her parole had ended was sentenced to six years in prison.

There are certainly other forms of thought. They may not line up with your world view, but you can continue to be outraged all the same.

But, hey, don't think twice, it's all right.

 

[crandc]

I never denied there are other views. There are also facts. Florida Republican explained that the don't make white people uncomfortable bill doesn't prohibit teaching about slavery, but they can't say one "race" were the enslavers and another the enslaved.
Except that happens to be true.

Damn it, so am I. Seems like they were made by using the thought process of a third grader.

In this case we need to make it a law that employers must provide two weeks of sick pay every year to all their employees and then my statement makes more sense.

Florida Republicans

Florida Republicans

So, let's just say I need to be uncomfortable. Is it then a simple matter of having CRT taught in every school, and every book known to man on the matter in our school libraries? Does that then make everything OK?

As I had mentioned earlier, there are many other views. Citing Florida Republicans is just a platitude of sorts.

Markxism, how did that get in here?

crandc just wants me to look/feel/be uncomfortable.

 

[crandc]

Neither Marxism nor critical race theory are being taught in public schools. But the right has labeled any teaching about racial issues critical race theory.
The proposed law includes schools and diversity programs in private business. Any parent, student or employee who feels uncomfortable can block teaching and she for damages.
I am outraged that history has to be made comfortable. History isn't a fairy tale. People did not live happily ever after.

CRT is not being taught in any public school. History is and that history should make you uncomfortable. It is the least we can do as white men, to feel uncomfortable about the atrocities that occured in our countries past at the hands of other white men and against black people.

We should feel uncomfortable that black people were kept as slaves, treated as sub human, beaten, murdered, chased by white men in masks, hung, dragged behind trucks, made to live in different parts of town, go to different schools, hospitals, stores, drink from different fountains.

Those are the subjects of books in our schools libraries that you want to remove. Books I would be glad to have there for my son to read and come to me with questions, and I would gladly sit and share those terrible truths with him.

 

[crandc]

By the way, ABM, I am not a man. There are a lot of books known to women. I have read quite a few.

I know what the history is and I'd rather be in the trenches, locking arms with my Black brothers and sisters, than simply being uncomfortable. Some close friends of ours, who happen to be Black, were over at our new home yesterday, and we don't think twice about all of this. Actually, @THE HCP knows them, as well. Sanford, his wife, and a very cool 22-year-old kid they've "adopted. The kid was informing me all about NFT's. Fascinating stuff! They're moving to Nashville from Houston. We're helping them find a home here. Anyway, all that to say, I think a lot of people are getting hung up on some of this....and that there are factions out there making sure we drop our heads and drown ourselves in shame. I say poppycock to all of that.

Oh, there is a lot more to do than just feel uncomfortable. That's why I said it's the least, but conservatives in states like Florida don't even want to do that.

Its just as important to teach our kids history as it is to be in the trenches. That is being taken away. History is being erased by not allowing it to be taught or removing books on it from libraries. By giving it other names to monsterize it. You might know it, but many that come after us will not. They will be taught to be ignorant. Soon, history books in red states will be void of any mention of slavery, segregation, or the fight for civil rights.

And you are upset because you have to feel uncomfortable

I am reading the updated 1619 Project. I am a well read educated person but I am learning things I never knew. Will document later in correct thread.
It's not comfortable. Just true.
