Dirty Tricks in Virginia

Post Reply New Topic

So, are you are saying all conservative blacks are traitors to their race?
If so, isn't that enormously politically incorrect?

i am saying that like the rest of the GOP, they have been generally opposed to all the progress this country made since its early years, progress that helped people like me. that is why i don't like GOPers in general.

I get the impression you wouldn't recognise CRT even if the textbook was titled "CRT", this title covered the whole front cover, and with a blurb extolling the "virtues" of CRT...

Here's a discussion about some of what is being taught in schools.

"People are saying there isn't a left bias in skools?"

Hitler would be proud of the skool indoctrination system.

the worst part of all this kerfuffle is that the much more important issue of socioeconomic class is being obscured by this make-believe controversy over CRT. the upper class is eating the middle class' lunch, and in the only kind of trickle down that is real, the middle class is in turn [via hostile GOPQ policies in government] trickling hell down on the working class. i am reminded of the old story about how the CEO walked into the employee breakroom, sees a union organizer and a worker at a table with a plate of cookies on it. he swoops down onto the table and snarfs up all but one of the cookies, then whispers to the worker, "psst... watch out for that union organizer... he wants a piece of your cookie!"

I never said the right could do no good, or that the left could do no evil. In this case though, with some exceptions that can actually be found in high end private schools, anti-white bigotry would be hard to get away with in most public schools. As I already stated, I have a teenage daughter in high school, and she's never been exposed to such miseducation. What overly conservative parents call CRT is just a matter of them believing any history showing any whites in a bad light is an attack on all whites, including their children. My best friend (outside my wife) had grown up in a small eastern Washington town, where he tells me, the people he had grown up among - including his parents - had a kneejerk reaction to any reference to whites behaving in a racist manner as being automatically anti-white. He admitted he had been instilled with such ideas, which he only outgrew when he left his small town behind and moved to the Spokane area.
As a proud American of German extraction, it genuinely pisses me off that anyone should have made you feel guilty for being a Deutscher. I remember reading an autobiographical piece on Henry Miller, an American author of German ancestry, where the biographer said, "Germans make the best Americans, but the worst Germans." Or as my paternal grandfather, himself a German American, had said, "There's no bastard like a German bastard." Or in other words, while the Germans in the past had done terrible things in their time, no one has the right to paint the rest of us who share their DNA with the same brush.

My daughter was never taught anything like that, and I have to think that most other kids aren't either.

the german part of me wants peace.

and for a decent human being in power to fix our rotten health care delivery and financing non-system.
