Politics Should schools teach Critical Race Theory?

[Natebishop3]

Seems like a mansplain thing to say.

Tell that to all the women making bank on OnlyFans by showing their naked bodies.

Women can make their own decisions. As platypus pointed out many women find it empowering.

Strip clubs are also the biggest rip off ever….. well….. maybe second to only fans.

They are ok every once in awhile. Go with your friends. Have a delicious steak at Acrop. Drink one of the many beers on tap. Support some ladies and have good conversation. Go home. Even my wife and friends wives don't mind going every once in awhile.

Pretty prude to feel all weird about seeing a womans naked body.

It is 2021 now grandpa. We eat ass now.

Acrop was straight up nasty. Just dirty. I can't imagine eating there.

You're missing out. The steaks are amazing.

And that's fine. He can define it however he wants, but holding bigoted opinions about any race is bad. Full stop. There's no excuse for it.

You guys are talking apples and oranges. He's using the vernacular which may be more correct in here and you are using the text book definition which is best used in splitting hairs and when teaching theory.

 

[Lanny]

You are so hateful towards white people it's ridiculous. And the worst part is that you're not even aware of it.

He's not hateful towards White people in general, just the bigoted ones. I speak from personal experience with him.He'd like you to understand the horror that Black people have gone through up through today i.e. put yourself in their shoes.

I judge a restaurant first on how clean the rest room is then I judge the food and service.

dviss is a'ight. I had misjudged him as being an angry know-it-it, all, but have since apologized to the man. I hear what you're saying, Lanny. dviis is shedding light on all the violence and hate Blacks have endured - and continue to endure. I have no room nor place to talk in that regard. I live my life to love those around me. Color has no bearing whatsoever.

For the most part, the GOP has become the cult of Trump. They have few real policies but to kiss Trump's ass to hang onto power, then use their power to enrich themselves, and it's rinse and repeat. They don't even hide it, but instead are proud of it. Absolute cowardice.

Dems aren't great, but the obvious choice of the lesser of the two evils for me.

Agreed.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I really never understood the extreme contempt so many had for her, but yeah, she wasn't very high on my list, either.

She's just so full of it. She's absolutely bought and paid for and she is incapable of hiding that.

She just radiates hubris.

Bottom fucking line when it comes to Critical Race Theory:

IF MY SON IS OLD ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE RACISM, YOUR CHILD IS OLD ENOUGH TO LEARN ABOUT THE TRUE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. AND YES IT WAS FOUNDED ON RACISM, GENOCIDE, AND SLAVERY. AND YES YOUR ANCESTORS DID THE SHIT...

THE FACT THAT YOU ARE SO EMBARRASED OF YOUR HISTORY THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE IT ILLEGALL FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN IT, SAYS SOOOOOOO MUCH ABOUT YOU....

AND GUESS WHAT PEOPLE???

IT'S FUCKING RACIST AND WHITE SUPREMACIST AS FUCK NOT TO TEACH IT...

MIC FUCKING DROP....

While all of this is true all races have a history of racism, genocide and slavery.

Doesn't make what my ancestors did less horrifying, but it does help put it into perspective.

Learning about it is how we prevent it from happening in the future.

The idea of banning the teaching of any history in our schools is obsurd. It's a disgrace.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Guess I'll just have to take you at your word.

No comment.

This looks really bad.

 

[Phatguysrule]

To be fair, as an Uber driver, I often transport and converse with exotic dancers, and many love their jobs, find them to be empowering rather than degrading, and even find their work to be therapeutic at times.

That said, I've personally never entered a strip club, and likely never will.

I too would much rather be alone in a car with a beautiful woman than in a room full of fat drunks paying her to be naked.

I've been to one strip club, one time. My wife wanted to go, so we went.

 

[Phatguysrule]

The people of the overall global minority control every system that oppresses every indigenous people on every continent.

And you want us to be quiet...

That has nothing to do with white though. That's all about money (the wealthy). Calling that minority "white" is just buying into their divide and conquer construct.

It's the wealthy vs the poor. As it always has been.

That the poor white people latch onto the fact that they look more like the wealthy than other races is a feature of said construct. As is focusing on that tendency.

These are all distractions the wealthy are happy to have us consumed by.

 

[Natebishop3]

Again.... what does this have to do with what I'm saying? He isn't saying "hateful white males." He's saying "white males."

I don't care what you label it. Racism. Bigotry. He's making sweeping generalizations about people based on the color of their skin. Not sure why this is so hard for people to grasp what I'm against here.

 

[dviss1]

You're not talking about racists. You're talking about white people. Why is it wrong to not want to have all white people lumped together in your opinions? I don't feel like this is such a big ask. When you talk about white men, am I part of that group? How do you classify someone as white? You say it's a construct, but who gets to decide who is and who is not white? Am I no longer white if I say that I'm not a racist? It's all very confusing.

You can include yourself in the people who claim white as a heritage if you want.

Decolonize your mind. You're not white. But if you subscribe to the system that continues to oppress me, you're no better than the racists... Now, go look up your history and trace it back to where your people came from. You have this privilege that I do do not have.

Then maybe you'll stop letting racists call you white...

In Oberlin, Louisiana, Darrell Semien served as police officer for 15 years before dying of cancer at 55. A representative of the local cemetery told his widow that a clause in their burial contract mandated the right of burial there only to white people. This happened in 2021.

No such thing as racism....

 

[Natebishop3]

Decolonize your mind.

I'm clearly never going to get across to you that you're not affording someone the respect that you're asking for. Saying shit like this to someone is just so disrespectful, and the flip side would be something that I think you would find extremely offensive. I guess you do you, but frankly I'm convinced that things could change 100% and you would still hold onto these feelings towards white people.

 

[RR7]

What is it you find offensive about decolonizing your mind?

 

[calvin natt]

I don't know if you're racist or not but your reading comprehension needs work. I never once even insinuated you were racist.
I simply gave you a tool that you simply cannot bring yourself to understand why you need to employ it. Instead you internalized what was said to you.
That's typical of white males in this country. They've had domain over so much for so long that they can't even wrap
their minds around their colonizer speak. Decolonize your mind.
You probably wonder why you can't use the a version of the N word because "they say it all the time in their songs"...

dviss: “I never once even insinuated you were racist”
dviss: “you probably wonder why you can’t use the N word because they say it all the time in our songs”.

God this post is bullshit. Your posts holier than thou attitude is impossible to like. It’s like you don’t read your own words. Please put me on ignore and I’ll do the same. Just know that any “educating” you hope to do in here on race is less effective when you are a total asshole.

 

[calvin natt]

Man, you're angry. lol
I liked his comments because I agree with the majority of what he is saying and has said on here in the past.
White fragility is very real. I remember very early on with a lot of the decentralizing and what not training I've done through school, it hits you where you start to get angryor defensive about being blamed, until you take a step back. Then you see the same tired excuses trotted out a lot. Well, I didn't own slaves, why don't they get over it. Well I didn't do any lynching. Well I didn't...yadda yadda yadda.
And, I just disagree that generalizing white people is somehow on par with the general racism we see every day in our society towards the global majority.

Nate is angry? Uh yeah we are being insulted. Nobody - nobody is angrier than dviss but Nate is angry? lol.

 

[calvin natt]

The difference is white people, so called, are not marginalized because of color. There is such a thing as white supremacy, white fragility, white resentment, etc. It's the dominant group freaking out because they aren't always on top the way they think it should be.

There are no white people. So there can’t be white fragility. Or white supremacy. I guess, since that is what dviss says.

 

[ehizzy3]

Being told not to say boys to black men, no matter the circumstance, isn’t crazy to me. The reaction to being told that says a lot

 

[RR7]

Yeah, when someone asks "why the hell" I liked a post, it comes across pretty angry to me.

Context.

 

[ehizzy3]

Context.

some things defy context. You didn’t mean to be racist but you should acknowledge that it isn’t and shouldn’t be acceptable to refer to any black man as boy. Especially using it to put them down as you did. The history speaks for itself.

 

[Natebishop3]

What is it you find offensive about decolonizing your mind?

Because it's insulting. Calling white people colonists. Telling us we need to decolonize our minds. It's a way to dismiss someone's opinion without even addressing it.

 

[Shaboid]

Shouldn't calling any adult male boy be unacceptable?

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah, when someone asks "why the hell" I liked a post, it comes across pretty angry to me.

I mean, if you're going to continue to support someone's position without chiming in, I'd like to hear your reasoning.
