So now you're an expert on CRT and we should not explore it at all.

Got ya.

You stated:

The vast majority of America is not racist..period (no one said they were but in some areas of the country they are and support policies that are racist

The vast majority of rural America is not racist...period (no one said they were but in some areas of the country they certainly support policies that are racist


The vast majority of white people are not racist...period (no one said they are but in some areas of the country they support policies that are racist


The vast majority of policeman are not racist...period (no one said they were but in some areas of the country they are and support policies that are racist and refuse to eliminate bad actors


No one of the modern age is Responsible for past racism... (no one said they were but in some areas of the country they are and support policies that are racist and have for a long time and continue to adopt racist policies


This is what's not being heard or acknowledged...

Teaching children about past racism that is part of history,,as it should be....

CRT fails in one sense, it doesn't quantify its the past and leaves out the majority of the present...

So

I could easily say the PGA is racist, look at the number of black golfers....They are not, its a matter of privilege

I could easily say Hockey is racist, look at the number of black players,,,, Its not, its a matter of demographics (I'd say it's more economic

I could easily say rural America is racist, look at the population,,,They are not racist, its a matter of demographics again. I'd say in some parts of the country they are very racist

I could go on to say the majority of blacks are racist, they hate all white people,,,they are not,,but perhaps more so because of the past..

Like everything thing else in the modern age its about extremes no matter the subject.... I'd day it's more policy

We are not at the point where we have a merit based system, but that is no longer limited to minorities who struggle due to past systemic policy, stereotyping and yes, racism

That can now go to the discussion about Education last night and how it has effects across the board.....

What people want is equity for all, but we are too busy making everything an extreme instead of working on the overall

I don't care about CRT, but God knows we are NOT a post-racist society. Sure, I'm not racist, and racism doesn't affect me, but that's because I'm white.

I'd thought we'd made progress. In some ways we have, but one thing the last five or six years have made blindingly clear to me is that growing up black in this country is NOT like growing up white. It is very different, and not in a good way.

That needs to change. And the mouth-breathers also need to stop beating up on Hispanics and Asians.
