    This is why whites should not vote for people of color

    I don't think you're using the term "ghetto lottery" the way it's defined. A ghetto lottery is where some trashy, classless, career criminal gets caught committing a crime and while fighting the police, they get injured or die. Then the family dues the state or municipality and they write a check rather than go through the hassle of dealing with the ghetto family. st. floyd of fent's family was so disgusted by him they turned their back on him many years before he died, and then came out of the woodwork when they thought they could get paid.

    When police kill someone that is the police doing that - not some political party, not some media.

    And, those events are considered seriously important to the people who live there.

    ??

    Yes, if there is a disparity of treatment that is based on race, that is racism. That's what the word means.

    Are you trying to propose a different definition?

    I suspect every black republican in Congress would vote no on this legislation. It isnt about skin color and is instead CRT Ideology. More whites supporting it than blacks.

    Disparity in treatment or outcomes is considered racism under CRT. A reduction in Capital gains tax rate for all claiming capital gains would be equal treatment for blacks and whites. But since a higher percentage of whites than blacks claim capital gains, CRT considers a reduction in Capital gains tax rate to be racist.

    CRT has redefined the word.

    CRT is simply the study of how laws, social movements, politics and media shape and are shaped by social conceptions of race - addressing this topic with a critical examination.

    How can anyone POSSIBLY object to that? Are people afraid of what a critical analysis would discover? Are people interested in proceeding with this problem WITHOUGHT a serious investigation, but rather with ... what?

    Given our undeniable problem with racial and ethnic discrimination today, it seems like this is the most important approach we can possibly take, as otherwise we're left with assumptions, individual experience, and misunderstanding.

    Cutting the taxes of the wealthy (by direct reductions or by failing to pursue the super wealthy tax dodgers, as Republicans demand) IS a very serious issue, in light of the fact that it forces us to lean more heavily on those in the middle class and below.

    This is exactly the type of result that a critical examination of our society SHOULD be interested in discovering.

    How that should affect policy is a separate issue - all our policy should be made with the best possible understanding of the ramifications.

    You are missing the fundamental difference between "critical theory" and all other social theory.

    "Max Horkheimer first defined critical theory (German: Kritische Theorie) in his 1937 essay "Traditional and Critical Theory", as a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only toward understanding or explaining it. Wanting to distinguish critical theory as a radical, emancipatory form of Marxist philosophy,"

    "a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole". Not a "study" of the society in the past or present but instead an attempt to shape it for the future. Propaganda.

    Because

    ""Modern industrial societies have furthermore created an "affluent society", which in increasing comfort have disguised the exploitative nature of the system, and have therefore strengthened means of domination and control. Modern "affluent society" therefore limits opportunities for political revolution against capitalism....."

    So

    "Marcuse champions non-integrated forces of minorities, outsiders, and radical intelligentsia, attempting to nourish oppositional thought and behavior through promoting radical thinking and opposition. ....."

    the

    "The intelligentsia is a status class of educated people engaged in the complex mental labours that critique, guide, and lead in shaping the culture and politics of their society."

    The prophesized proletariat violent uprising to take down the bourgeoise never occurred. Too much "affluent society", which in increasing comfort" in America for the proletariat to believe they are oppressed by the capitalist. So they need to brainwash the kids for a generation, "promoting radical thinking and opposition" instead to bring about the demise of capitalism.

    Ok, but its still not racism. Which was my point

    CRT isnt an examination of societ and is instead an attempt to shape society. Political activism for the socialist.

    How that should affect policy is the primary concern for CRT

    The Dems and medias portrayal of the facts around the killing, reckless speculation, and downright lies matter. So they manipulate the emotions of those who live there.

    AND while media reporting blasts far and wide any deaths of blacks at the hands of the police, they remain relatively silent regarding deaths of whites at the hands of the police, and they create the perception that police are only killing blacks when in fact they kill more whites

    The media are predominantly white, catering to a white audience. I don't believe you can blame the media for the failure of the police to earn the trust and faith of minority communities. Minority communities aren't waiting for media to tell them what to think.

    And, you need to think through you math on that second part.

    I just did blame them. And the police do kill more whites according to math. 302 whites shot by the police in 2021 compared to 177 blacks, if Statista has any accuracy. What silly non racist math are you referring to?

    Of course more whites die at the hands of the police! Think about the math.

    But, beyond your math fail, remember that the issue is whether the police have the faith and trust of the police force they face.

    Yes, you blamed, but you don't have support for that.

    Amusing to watch the media and government try to portray mass shootings as a far right or white supremacy issue.

    Man, the need to attack people of color from the safety of the anonymity of the internet seems perpetual

    Why? If they are going to make laws that are directed at oppressing whites then why is my statement atrocious.

    If a white senator was pushing this towards blacks, or a white senator was trying to pass a farm bill bill that excluded black farmers from benefits, or a white senator was trying to make COVID health care harder to get for for blacks would it be atrocious to suggest whites should not be voted for?

    Storefront 2.0 in this thread.
    Yeah, pretty much would be atrocious. Summarily refusing to vote for a person simply because of their race, that’s pretty racist
