Don't know, looks like they still let you on the Internet unsupervised, so it must not work very well. Unless they keep tabs on you when you're out on the ward.

Which would amount to abandoning notions such as the so-called work ethic, the nuclear family, and rigorous, meaningful education. Whites who practice the things that actuate their privilege, are far more likely to "succeed" in our current "system." Blacks who practice those things are also far more likely to succeed than Blacks or whites who don't.

But, it is claimed by many, if not most, CRTers, blacks who engage in "whiteness," who act white, are not authentic and are in bondage to the white privilege system--they participate in a soft slavery that supports that system.

Democracy is not in danger because we're polarized. We're polarized because it's a strategy to make it more difficult to see where the real danger to democracy comes from.

From the Kochs to the Heritage Foundation to the GOP, the "true aim" has been to kneecap liberal democracy in order to unshackle concentrated wealth. The strategy is to sow racial and social strife. The goal, though, is rule by the rich.

The Democrats are also in on this strategy of concentrated wealth and sowing racial strife--in my estimation, even more so. Which is why I have been saying that political Progressivism is actually a regression to the ancient rule by some elite, whether it be monarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship . . . or any form of unchecked central authority. And why I have said that our Constitution is still a new form of "rule" that makes individual freedom more possible within a functioning organized society. Anarchism would be freer, but humanity doesn't yet seem suited to such ultimate freedom.

More critical race theory for you

One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern half part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope -- fervently do we pray -- that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said f[our] three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"

So now you're saying that Abraham Lincoln was an adherent of Critical Race Theory? And that CRT believes in the Judgment of God?

Cuz she’s blacked and thinks CRT it’s being taught ? It is? Or she’s against BLM is That’s why you posted it… funny You never heard of the moms of liberty but you found this clip, . odd

But not really Minnesota's Black Conservatives: The Exodus Movement. “I’m done with the Left. They’ve hurt black America. They’ve destroyed it.”

Conservatives and their One black friend …. Presented as see 99% of blacks are lying

discussing CRT with a disingenuous leftist....

I got a laugh out of this:

A new bill in Oklahoma forbids teaching that “one race is the unique oppressor in the institution of slavery” and that “another race is the unique victim in the institution of slavery.”

is slavery and oppression unique to any one race and is any race unique in being enslaved and oppressed?

Or you could ask "how were the Americas unique in moralizing and legitimizing slavery?"

During the second half of the 17th century, a terrible transformation, the enslavement of people solely on the basis of race, occurred in the lives of African Americans living in North America. These newcomers still numbered only a few thousand, but the bitter reversals they experienced—first subtle, then drastic—would shape the lives of all those who followed them, generation after generation.

Like most huge changes, the imposition of hereditary race slavery was gradual, taking hold by degrees over many decades. It proceeded slowly, in much the same way that winter follows fall. On any given day, in any given place, people can argue about local weather conditions. “Is it getting colder?” “Will it warm up again this week?” The shift may come early in some places, later in others. But eventually, it occurs all across the land. By January, people shiver and think back to September, agreeing that “it is definitely colder now.” In 1700, a 70-year-old African American could look back half a century to 1650 and shiver, knowing that conditions had definitely changed for the worse.

Don’t worry the white wing is on top of it.
Today they announced:
We currently have a record number of Black Republicans running for office and winning at all levels.

Over 40 Black Republicans are running in GOP primaries for both local and federal office.

So, out of 535 elected federal positions, and all 50 states, over 3,000 counties, and over 19,000 cities and towns, you’re bragging about having 40 black candidates out of the tens of thousands of federal and local elections?

40, out of tens of thousands. Less than 1%.

The Democrats have more than that in the House

It's that thing that Progressives likes to say--going in the right direction.

An in-depth analysis of CRT--its roots and philosophical basis and its goals according to and citing its founders and theorists. An excellent deconstruction of what it is rather than a general opinion of what it purports to be. The first 15 minutes is chatty introduction. The final hour and 15 minutes is the meat. Really, really worth watching

every single time a democrat doesn’t get their desired outcome, it’s the end of the world, the end of our democracy. They can never just lose anything fair and square. They can never accept that’s how life works, you win some, you lose some. They’re actually a lot more like Trump than they’d care to admit.

It seems "choice" is a word that's lost popularity among liberals.

Nothing says "Authoritarian" quite like passing a law that says the Gubment can't make you do something.

Right? It's authoritarian when the state removes mandates and lets the citizenry choose for themselves. That's authoritarian...

Just what a ruthless dictator would do.

[Pete F.]

Nothing says you don’t believe in small government and local control more than prohibiting school boards from exercising local control because the state knows better
Next up State curriculum
It’s increasingly obvious that the right-wing assault on public schools is intended to redirect public money to private schools that indoctrinate students in Christian nationalism.
