Politics Should schools teach Critical Race Theory?

[ABM]

I know bout ABM. When people do borderline racist shit, like latch onto Candace Owens, I just ask questions.
I should know better that he won't answer them. Pleading the 5th in those instances... Says a lot.

Candace Owens is a paid shill for white supremacy. She says horrible things about black people and racist whites love it.
It's like pornography to them.

Larry Elder is my hero, too. So what? Much looking forward to watching his documentary.

Don't think that'll help you much in this discussion

It's not a discussion.

 

[crandc]

Larry Elder said businesses should be allowed to discriminate against pregnant women or even women considering being pregnant. Pro life? He supports Stephen Miller's overt white supremacy. He says Trump won the election. That's your hero. Seems the only Black people you approve of are the ones you can count on fingers of one hand, Black people who love Trump and say no such thing as racism.

 

[julius]

This is how we voted in 2016... I'm not driving in ANY of the red areas...

The good thing is, most of those counties have such a small population that their votes don't really matter. Still totally get what you're saying though (especially the bit about radio silence you're getting in regards to a question you've asked).

As I'd said, can't wait to watch Uncle Tom. Hey, did Lanny get his cookies?

Robert Woodson is my hero.

 

[crandc]

He also opposes vaccines and masks and said his first act would be to eliminate vaccine and mask requirement. He likes Florida Covid response, state with our of control spread and governor demanding children die.

Lanny got his cookies.
The original Uncle Tom, despite his submission, helped two female slaves escape, took a whipping for refusing to beat an enslaved woman, and was finally beaten to death when he would not betray the two women who escaped. Opposite of Owens and Elder who live rich by betraying other Black people. They have neither courage nor principles.

My wife will be visiting Napa Valley with week. A birthday trip with her sis and nieces. She received her 2nd Pfizer shot last Thursday. Unfortunately, she won't be able to eat inside at any of the restaurants because they require a 2-week minimum from being fully vaccinated.

Well, whatayaknow.

 

[dviss1]

Yeah, the guy in Uncle Tom's Cabin ain't the real one. Of course the white supremacy would sully that man's name...

He was a hero...

The fact that you don't hear the way your words are coming out... Says a lot...

Larry Elder? Jesus... What a piece of shit that man is...

Why do you like black people that 99% of black people don't like?

I thought you said both you and your wife got the vaccine a couple of months back.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Attack what is posted, not the person who posted it.

I said we got the first dose. We then did a bit of traveling out west, etc. We both just received the 2nd dose last Thursday.

How much did you pay for that? Almost looks real.

Heh. Walgreen's actually gave us a $25 store credit, plus two $5 gift cards for the first shot (I actually think I posted on that experience). Not so fortunate the 2nd time around, though. Just the two $5 gift cards.

 

[crandc]

Elder also loves calling women ugly and fat. Typical of those who reduce us to incubators.
Personally I reserve word ugly for those with ugly minds.
Like men who think insulting women is funny.

Watched this last evening. Fantastic!

As usual, @ABM is refusing to answer questions, changing subject instead.

Agree or disagree: Trump won the 2020 election and it was stolen from him in some undetermined manner
Agree or disagree: What happened in DC January 6 was just old folks taking selfies
Agree or disagree: Companies should be able to legally fire pregnant employees

If agree, justify. If disagree, why do you admire people who promote them.

Not holding my breath.

Substantiate these items with documentation and I'll respond.

Thomas Sowell and Booker T. Washington are my heroes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell

Sowell argues that systemic racism is an untested, questionable hypothesis that is a piece of propaganda pushed on the American people. Sowell has said that "it really has no meaning that can be specified and tested in the way that one tests hypotheses" and "it's one of many words that I don't think even the people who use it have any clear idea what they're saying". He has argued that it is a propaganda tactic akin to those used by Joseph Goebbels because it comes with an attitude that it must be "repeated long enough and loud enough" until it is believed and people "cave in" to it.[39][40]

In several of his works—including The Economics and Politics of Race (1983), Ethnic America (1981), Affirmative Action Around the World (2004), and other books—Sowell challenges the notion that black progress is due to progressive government programs or policies. He claims that many problems identified with blacks in modern society are not unique, neither in terms of American ethnic groups, nor in terms of a rural proletariat struggling with disruption as it became urbanized, as discussed in his Black Rednecks and White Liberals (2005).

Sowell also writes on racial topics, typically critical of affirmative action and race-based quotas.[41][42] He takes strong issue with the notion of government as a helper or savior of minorities, arguing that the historical record shows quite the opposite. In Affirmative Action Around the World,[43] Sowell holds that affirmative action affects more groups than is commonly understood, though its impacts occur through different mechanisms, and has long since ceased to favor blacks.

One of the few policies that can be said to harm virtually every group in a different way.… Obviously, whites and Asians lose out when you have preferential admission for black students or Hispanic students—but blacks and Hispanics lose out because what typically happens is the students who have all the credentials to succeed in college are admitted to colleges where the standards are so much higher that they fail.[44]

In Intellectuals and Race (2013), Sowell argues that intelligence quotient (IQ) gaps are hardly startling or unusual between, or within, ethnic groups. He notes that the roughly 15-point gap in contemporary black–white IQ scores is similar to that between the national average and the scores of certain ethnic white groups in years past, in periods when the nation was absorbing new immigrants.[45]

How do you say whites are smarter than black folks because their white without saying it? Fuck outta here with that bullshit...

Thomas Sowell was not loved by the black community for his self hating views. Understand this.

EVERY black person you attach yourself to is deplored by their own community...

 

[ABM]

Thomas Sowell was not loved by the black community for his self hating views...

Why, because of how he was raised?

Sowell was born in Gastonia, North Carolina. His father died shortly before he was born, leaving behind Sowell's mother, a housemaid, who already had four children. A great-aunt and her two grown daughters adopted Sowell and raised him.[1] In his autobiography, A Personal Odyssey, Sowell wrote that his childhood encounters with white people were so limited that he did not know that blond was a hair color.[3] When Sowell was nine, his family moved from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Harlem, New York City, for greater opportunities, joining in the large-scale trend of African-American migration from the American South to the North.

He qualified for Stuyvesant High School, a prestigious academic high school in New York City; he was the first in his family to study beyond the sixth grade. However, he was forced to drop out at age 17 because of financial difficulties and problems in his home.[1] Sowell held a number of positions, including one at a machine shop and another as a delivery man for Western Union;[4] he tried out for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1948.[5] He was drafted into the military in 1951, during the Korean War, and was assigned to the U.S. Marine Corps. Because of his experience in photography, Sowell became a Marine Corps photographer.[1]

Born in North Carolina, Sowell grew up in Harlem, New York. Due to financial issues and deteriorated home conditions, he dropped out of Stuyvesant High School[1] and later served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. Upon returning to the United States, Sowell enrolled at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude[2] in 1958. He received a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959, and earned his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1968.

Sowell has served on the faculties of several universities, including Cornell University and the University of California, Los Angeles. He has also worked at think tanks such as the Urban Institute. Since 1980, he has worked at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he served as the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy. Sowell writes from a libertarian–conservative perspective. Sowell has written more than thirty books, and his work has been widely anthologized. He is a National Humanities Medal recipient for innovative scholarship which incorporated history, economics and political science.

I see a lot of your posts in here. I sense you're just an angry know-it-all. Could be wrong, though.

I'm not really sure you, of all people on this board, should be talking shit about what other people say. There's a reason why your reputation around race/politics/religion is ridiculed on here so much.

 

[ABM]

Just what exactly are you trying to say here?

It's a rhetorical question. The real question, though, is, just how did Sowell acquire these so-called "self-hating views" while essentially being disliked by the Black community as dviss had described?

Again, I enjoyed watching the Uncle Tom documentary last evening. You should really check it out.
