It's interesting and worth watching. I'll merge it into the CRT thread later.

They're certainly out there.

Tell the truth, for starters. Not a sanitized history of good white people and happy darkies where everyone who works hard can succeed. Stop banning teaching things that make white people uncomfortable.

And many of us have answered this.

1. Don't make stupid laws limiting education concerning race and history.

2. Don't make stupid laws limiting access to voting.

That's exactly why we should listen to them. They don't think like I do. They have different experiences that provide a perspective that I haven't been exposed to.
