    If I ever get my hands on a Tardis, and I go back to the 00's-10's, and I point out all of Storm's Nazi red flags, you can damned well bet past-FF will be like :lalala:.

    Obviously nothing short of him saying "I'm a Nazi" will do it. Whatever happened to "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck".... :spock:

    I don't see anything on that guy's channel that indicates he's a Nazi, perhaps you can point them out?

    I don't know. I'm only going by what's in the post. I have no clue what you're talking about. :clyde:

    I watched some of the videos. The ones I saw just dropped in unsourced video without commentary and then celebrate some sort of gotcha in the title. Then people in the comments talk about how brave and based they are. Hardly inspires critical thinking. Seems like this person or people is more interested in monetization through views than anything else. :clyde:

    I didn't watch everything. He seems to be following the Bannon "flood the zone with shit" strategy, so who knows?

    Since you are reading, @Federal Farmer, have you figured out which of these you're against?

    Why does it matter if it's not being taught in schools?

    The claim is being made that these things, which are being used in schools, are equal to CRT. I'm interested in your thoughts on them.

    Also, I have no issue with CRT being used in schools, only with the definition of CRT being stretched to its breaking point. The more kids who grow up realizing that racist systems should be dismantled, the better.

    @Uncle Albert posted that image several pages back and who immediately dismissed it in the very next post, you did so I don't see why I should provide my thoughts on it.

    I dismissed it because those things aren't CRT. However, they are probably all phrases that are being used in school curricula. If you're claiming that CRT is in schools but hidden behind different words, maybe we need to know what you think those words mean.

    @Uncle Albert is welcome to chime in, but I expect some driveby snark and not much else.

    Again, I was asking for a root cause. That's not a root cause. When we drilled down, you ended up saying what basically amounted to, "I don't know, but it's definitely not systemic and it's definitely not endemic". Which pretty much the definition of a non-answer.

    It's been more than 700 posts, so let's not forget that this tangent started when @Federal Farmer implied that learning about desegregation = Critical Race Theory.

    If you’re this deep in denial, perhaps CRT SHOULD be taught in k-12 classrooms.

    This is what MAOHS asked:

    Your response was...

    Your provided explanation for why there is an education gap and more live in poverty is that it's because they have less education and lower incomes, and even then the source you yourself quoted says that the other achievement disparities still occur even when those factors are eliminated.

    So no, you didn't answer the question at all.

    I totally missed that. This is what happens when all data is not gathered. FF, and the people he quoted, must have missed this study on childhood success - https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillma...ars-this-is-biggest-takeaway-for-parents.html

    I have made myself clear. I reject presumptive guilt (not merely the feeling, you gaslighting douchebags. Guilt in the sense that it implies obligation.) by association or intrinsic qualities, and/or sins of the father. I reject the idea that two babies can be born next to each other, one immediately owing something to the other. I refuse to completely devalue the concept of individual merit and lay every inequality of outcome at the feet of institutional bias without any direct evidentiary standard. "Critical race theory," in the context of any recent news cycle, is clearly just a meaningless term that allows perpetrators to either claim or disavow, depending on whether it casts them in a negative light when they are caught in the act (See also: Antifa and BLM). If it were up to me, I would neither saddle children with the diseased notion that they are burdened with the responsibility to sacrifice and prostrate themselves for problems they did not cause, that they must make a display of "checking their privilege" or acknowledging they benefit from some advantage that nobody bothers to prove in a way that is remotely applicable to them as individuals, nor that they are subject to lesser expectations for performance or conduct based on those intrinsic qualities. Any specific examples of this I have dug up are dismissed as narrow anecdotes ( "Derp! When have you.." Shut the fuck up! This board has a search function, assbag.) . None of you will address these points in detail. You expect your faith healing to be embraced without challenge because you believe you are on the side of moral purity. There is no engaging that position on any rational basis.

    I see your problem with CRT now. You've got it confused with whatever batshit insanity the brainworms are whispering to you.

    What is CRT being taught in law school burdening you with? How is it imposing on you?

    Right. Nobody is advancing any part of that as an agenda. I invented it all with my creative genius.

    First response that chickenshits out of addressing the points in detail.

    I just gave you my thoughts on the term "CRT," and what I actually object to being taught in public school (implied by specifying children). Did you not read, or are you the second person to chickenshit out of responding in detail?

    I also object to it being taught in K-12. We're in agreement with that.

    Well then, peace be with you. :salute:

    I am already on record stating that I do not care if it is taught to university students who consent to it.
