Earth to Uneducated Blue Stater. That's all ANY of us are doing, in all reality.

Did your third grade teachers forget to tell you that in a graph it still amounts to garbage in, garbage out? When I said any more on can create a chart, maybe I should have been more specific. Any LEFT WING MORE ON. Does that clarify things? (Although, the phrase left wing more on is a redundancy.) ALL of our sources are just opinions. Mine just happen to be more reliable and more logical.

Only if you’re a MAGA brother conspiracy theorist. Facts are facts, and opinions are opinions. There is no such thing as “alternate facts.”

Can you explain to us what critical race theory is, and why a legal theory that’s taught in graduate school is some sort of threat to elementary and secondary school education?

The voters are STUPID. Or there is voter fraud. Only someone stupid would vote for a Democrat, dead or not.

Actually, it is the MAGA loyalists who demand voter fraud occured. Yet, to this day they have failed to present any evidence of said fraud viable enough to be substantiated in a court of law. MAGAs foundation is built on gossip, innuendo and speculation.

Critical Race Theory (alongside the 1619 Project) are left wing theories that America was founded solely on the basis of racism.  It is based on a left wing lie.

In the fallout of mass confusion, many have focused their criticism on what they say CRT manifests — divisive ideas about race, collective guilt for dominant groups, and assigning racial significance to seemingly neutral concepts. The previous U.S. administration and various states attempted to restrict the theory's spread by referring more generally to those ideas.

Most notably, states like Oregon and Virginia have come under fire for promoting ideas about racist structures in mathematics. One program in particular alleged that White supremacy infiltrated math classrooms and manifested itself in the focus on finding the "right answer." It similarly blamed White supremacy for objectivity as "the belief that there is such a thing as being objective or ‘neutral.'" 

Defenders argue that CRT-type training helps enhance dominant groups' understanding and empathy of what the oppressed experience on a regular basis. These types of trainings have also been promoted as ways to "dismantle" or weaken alleged structures imposing burdens through bias and discrimination.

Angela Onwuachi-Willig, an expert on critical race theory at Boston University School of Law, told the Boston Globe that critical race theory helped people understand the complexity of race — beyond "simple" narratives that they may have been taught.

"Racism is not extraordinary," she continued. "Race and racism are basically baked into everything we do in our society. It’s embedded in our institutions. It’s embedded in our minds and hearts."

 

Remember the thread about school discipline being racist? Same stupidity here.

I AGREE there is racism in AMerica.  It is 99 percent in the Democrat party, a group of racists who have not evolved since before the Civil War.

Nope. That is a lie and you are a liar. Make America Great Again is based on patriotism. Only traitors do not want to make America great again.

Oh really? Then perhaps you'd like to present some evidence of voter fraud viable enough to be substantiated in a court of law. You know.... Evidence above the gossip, innuendo and speculation that MAGA normally spews.

Racism in the Parties switched with Nixon's "Southern strategy" in which he sought to compete for the Southern white vote with George Wallace. The Dixiecrats became Republicans. AKA no longer Democrats.

Too bad you FAILED American History.

[Infidel Dog]

Too bad the only American history you know is what they indoctrinate you with on Progressive websites.

The Dixiecrat hoax was perpetrated on weak willed easy believers of what they'd like to believe by a Progressive journalist masquerading as a republican who infiltrated Nixon's band of toadies and tried to represent that as 'in the know' knowledge.

I don't know that any strategy was needed to take the votes after LBJ past the civil Rights act. He plainly stabbed the southern Democrat senators in the back or maybe the front.

Storm Thurmond changed parties from Democrat to Republican in 1964, after passage of the Voting Rights Act. And so began the shift of the racists into the Republican Party.

Not sure that that matters so much.  You have to read about lbj, and how he personally betrayed someone who is as close to him as a father to a son.

When their side’s position is “There’s no such thing as racism,” it’s pretty difficult to discuss.

That may be a general sentiment but I doubt you can find it in party platform.  

I'm not arguing to say that Republicans are tolerant, but that the method of picking out an extreme position is a way to perpetuate conflict, not synthesize solutions.  As was pointed out on another thread Republicans will pick out some outrageous comment by a liberal academic or politician and characterize all viewpoints to agree with it.  

That's certainly the playing field of campaigns but there needs to be more policy discussion as that is what democracy is built on, not PR.

Really? That’s what you’re going to come up with? Since they didn’t write it into their party platform?

How’s this: Since the GOP didn’t write any acknowledgement of racism whatsoever into their platform, it demonstrates their denial of the existence of racism, and their refusal to agree to any social or legal policies to address it.  
 

Moving this ball forward… rather than simply refuse to acknowledge or address it, their prior President and Party Leader has decided that America’s Most Important Issue is to prevent the issue of racism from being discussed or taught in classrooms.  And that’s not enough: Leader #2, DeSantis, passed a law prohibiting teachers from discussing homosexuality or racism in the classroom.  So the GOP isn’t merely ignoring racism, their two leaders are actively fighting to prevent anything from being done about it.

1. No.  I have thought that for a long time.
