Political rants

I still think the Gothix CRT debate is worth a watch even though it went on for like 2 hours and they kinda spun their wheels in the end. The scholarly pro-CRT side could not come up with a viable definition of CRT that satisfied the anti-CRT side and audience. They did have a few agreements in the discussions but the pro-CRT side was talking about theoretical CRT vs anti-CRT talking about applied and experienced CRT. Pro-CRT side would dismiss anything hot in the news like the New York City schools sending home pamplets to grade how racist they are or the Coke trainings to "be less white" as being nothing but pessimistic outliers. That's pretty much why a lot of people tuned in for it, they wanted to see how anyone could defend those things. They didn't, just brushed them off. I think that's inherently the problem. Anyone who is taught CRT in a school setting is going to see it from a philosophical and theoretical point of view and ignore how it's being interpreted and applied. https://youtu.be/WBumyFsVfP4

@hell_hound7 Absolutely. In fact it seems that is already happening. @verucassault Thanks. I'll give it a watch. I notice the pro-CRT often highlight a difference between how it's being applied vs what it is. They still end up saying things that concern me, and which don't conflict with how it's being applied. It's a neat, thought-provoking concept from the standpoint of academia, but that's where I judge it should stop.

@umi_nezumi That is what gets me about a bunch of movements and groups. For example Antifa, I have people telling me, "It's about people being anti-fascist, aren't you against fascism?" Well what I see with my own two eyes are a bunch of maniacs running around in the street.

These movements have done no good, thats my biggest concern. They have done more harm than good. BLM has divided the country, basically if you arent for them you are a white supremacist. Like its crazy. Then antifa has done so much destruction to hard working people's businesses. Yeah you might be destroying a franchise to stick it to the man but realize....a person owns that store there. It wasnt just a random pop up by the corporation.

That's one way to clean shoes! Perhaps the man just really likes the taste of shoe leather? Ever consider that?

No this man is gullible, they preyed on this man who is weak willed and will listen to all that is told of him. They publicly humiliated this man. They exerted power and dominance over this guy. For what? To apologize for slavery when probably 2 generations ago his family probably had nothing to do with it. Keep in mind not every white person was a slave owner.

Finally made it through the Gothix CRT debate. It was honestly the most informative thing I watched. The other "debates" I watched were well... not much of a debate at all. The anti-CRT side was actually kind of outwardly rude from the get go. That's really my only qualm with it. @hell_hound7 That video is just sad to watch.
