CRT - what is it you object to.

[cawacko]

Ummmm.....cotton was king and slaves certainly were part of it but notice that cotton didn't go away after 1865. America's wealth building continued.

Note that slavery contributed to up to 20% of wealth in that era, primarily in the South...which Lincoln and Sherman destroyed and burned to the ground.

https://equitablegrowth.org/new-res...-economic-growth-leading-up-to-the-civil-war/
the increase in output per enslaved worker was responsible for roughly a fifth of the growth in commodity output per capita for the United States as a whole between 1839 and 1859—between 18.7 percent and 24.3 percent. At the latter end of this time period, in 1859, enslaved Americans accounted for only 12 percent of the U.S. population.

Ok?

Over the past 80 years or so the argument has been housing has the been the biggest driver of middle class wealth in this country, and racist laws have denied black people the same access to both capital for housing and the housing itself.

I’m probably missing something but not following what you posted has to do with that.

Hello cawacko,

You’re sitting here denying the racist history of one of the major wealth builders in our country, and one of the reasons behind the call for reparations, yet are claiming others are on the wrong side of history?

Can’t make this up…

Why this strange obsession with zoning in a thread on CRT?

The capability to create a thread dedicated to zoning totally exists.

None here are prevented from doing that.

It makes this obsession rather perplexing.

It’s a strange obsession to discuss one of the big tenements of CRT? Now housing isn’t the only issue under the CRT umbrella by any means but it is a big one. You’re sitting here saying we need to teach kids about CRT (racism) yet denying the racism you say we should teach them.

He has been doing that for years



He uses it as a way to hate his liberal run home town



He blames them for housing costs in the Frisco area


Claiming all those liberals are racists and housing costs prove it

CRT is not racism.

Which is why the Republican Party caused the housing mess by refusing to implement regulations on the Lenders under Bush



To rape the middle class of their wealth

Hello cawacko,

Racists hate it when black history is taught

To offer grace I'll ask, what do you think CRT is?

Racist laws are illegal so your claim is a non sequitur.

I understand the Republicans have beta tested the phrase Critical Race Theory and it sounds scary when said in a certain way but do you even understand what it is? What is it exactly that you object to? Because in response Florida has legislation pending that will prevent teachers from providing information that might make make students uncomfortable.... (Education should sometimes make students uncomfortable) Virginia has a hotline where you can report teachers you suspect are teaching something controversial.

Where do we draw the line?

Why are these people such snowflakes?

Why are we afraid of our children knowing the truth?

Do we want to give our kids propaganda or the truth about who we are?

first off, the woke left doesn't know what 'truth' is, secondly, you went all dick drunk in removing statues and memorials/plaques about the south trying to erase that history........could it be so that you could revise that history and start teaching propaganda?

CRT pushers and the like are the most racist people on the planet. They believe that Whites are superior to everyone else. This is why they focus on Whites and only Whites. Not the Jew, nor the Asian, Black, or Hispanic. ONLY the whites.

They believe that Whites must be held back for the rest to catch up. WHY? Why do you have so little faith in other races? And who says they are behind in the first place? I for one do not believe they are. STOP with the racist bullshit and give POC the respect they have earned. This stuff is so insulting to POC that it is sickening.

 

[Stone]

If I were a POC I would be frikkin IRATE at a lot of this bullshit. Like voter ID laws. How totally insulting for people to think that POC arent competent or responsible enuff to have I.D's and drivers licences. I know plenty POC and guess what? They all have licences. What about you CRT supporters? Are you claiming the POC you know cannot identify themselves? I call bullshit. And even on the small chance it were true then I would say that you REALLY need to make new friends! Racist bastards.

Just have to stop honoring certain history, not erase it. Who wants to ban certain history books?

so you're saying that only YOUR version of history is correct and should be the one that's taught?

Destroying statues is erasing its existence. All destruction often does is exacerbate the problem by hardening the dividing line. That's what destroying the statues is doing here.

What will be left? An empty park because one side will oppose building something else no matter what it is. However, if the proposal had been to add a statue commemorating civil rights in the same park, there would be more support...especially since the alternate is literally leveling the "playing field". A display putting the older statue and events in historical context and a place for school field trips would be a positive and enlightened addition to any town or city and the Chamber of Commerce loves attracting more business. They dislike violent protests, insurrections and civil wars.

Erasing history by destroying it or rewriting it, as Texas did by calling slaves "workers", is wrong IMO. Better to learn from it and build on that learning. We, as a nation, are doing the opposite.

because I won't agree with your revisionism??????
