Terry McAuliffe, Imbecile

[Bud_Spencer]

This has got to be seen to be believed. It's hard to understand how base, dishonest and idiotic this man truly is:

I'm not going to tell you what it is, just that it's racist to even ask and anyway, no one is teaching it despite all the unions vowing to protect all the teachers teaching it.

 

[phrodeau]

Do you now want us to think critical race theory isn’t racist?

That's not what he's saying, bright boy.

No one can define it first of all. It's hard to know whether they are teaching it or not. What it is, is another wedge issue to keep people arguing about the little things.

Additionally, the position that debating it is racist, is just circular reasoning by people who can't defend their position.

First of all, CRT is actually quite well-defined, with a number of books on ithaving been published over the last 30 years or so. Second, it's not quite the point to say they aren't teaching it, because to teach it would open it to objective study and criticism. What is being done is CRT's assumptions and methodologies are being introduced to students without them even being aware of it. As such, lies are taken as axiomatically true.

So we’re not going with Lou Dobbs’ definition?

Critical race theory:

Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of US civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to critically examine the intersection of race and US law and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice.[1][2][3][4] CRT examines social, cultural, and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the US.[5][6] A tenet of CRT is that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals.[7][8]

Not that hard to define.

How?

As such, lies are taken as axiomatically true.

What lies? The core assumption -- "racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals" -- that's not a lie.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

How?

What lies? The core assumption -- "racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals" -- that's not a lie.

Through the adaptation of CRT's assumptions: the USA is irredeemably racist and all of its institutions are shot through with racism. This is being taught as true in schools today. It's also taught that any disparity in favorable outcomes is due to racism solely....the passage about "subtle dynamics" is tautological eyewash that means nothing.

"CRT" is never mentioned, but all of its precepts and assumptions are treated as fact when they are nothing but ideological hokum.

In reality, CRT is anti-West, as evidenced by this passage from Delgado and Stefancic:

“Unlike traditional civil rights, which embraces incrementalism and step-by-step progress, critical race theory questions the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law.”

In your never ending quest to defend the government, you fail to see the big picture.

 

[phrodeau]

In your never ending quest to defend the government, you fail to see the big picture.

Government is far from perfect. It represents you, for example.

Nope. CRT does hold that the institutions on which the US was built were fundamentally racist, but that is quite different from what you said. There is nothing "irredeemable" about the USA, but redeeming it means being honest with ourselves about just how deep racism runs in our history - and that it still plays a big role in the legal system. That is what CRT is intended to address.

This is being taught as true in schools today.

No, Bud. It's what people like you hear anytime anyone tries to address the realities of racism in our history. And that's your problem.

It's also taught that any disparity in favorable outcomes is due to racism solely....

No, not "solely".

"CRT" is never mentioned, but all of its precepts and assumptions are treated as fact when they are nothing but ideological hokum.

You're entitled to your opinion about CRT, but you can't even be honest with yourself about what it really is. More to the point, it has never been taught in elementary or high schools in Virginia or anywhere else. Mind you, that might change thanks to the attention people like you have brought to it; but that's beside the point.

I strongly suspect most teachers didn't even know what CRT was before the right latched onto it.

In reality, CRT is anti-West, as evidenced by this passage from Delgado and Stefancic:

“Unlike traditional civil rights, which embraces incrementalism and step-by-step progress, critical race theory questions the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law.”

There is nothing "anti-West" about that. They're simply delineating the difference between traditional civil rights (which the likes of you also called anti-American back in the '50s and '60s) and CRT.

As for McCauliffe's comments, he's absolutely right. CRT in school is a non-issue blown all out of proportion by the right because it appeals to their racist base.

 

[Cubantripod]

Government is far from perfect. It represents you, for example.

No it doesn't. It doesn't represent you either, nor do they care about you. You're just dumb enough to believe the stripper actually likes you.

 

[pecksniff]

In your never ending quest to defend the government, you fail to see the big picture.

The big picture is that the government is controlled by plutocrats who have no great investment on either side of the CRT issue.

I cited Delgado and Stefancic for my contentions, two high priests of CRT. And you? No one. I can tell you why: You're wrong in every aspect of your reply. If you'd like, I'll provide more citations from even more CRT boosters.

 

[phrodeau]

You’re right. No point in voting then.

 

[YDB95]

Yes, and your commentary makes it clear you missed their point entirely. I know because I have actually read the whole book. Not to mention you already have a long track record of claiming anything intended to address the problem of racism is somehow "anti-white".
