    What the hell does that have to do with the people who brought slaves to this country? Dude, you're making it way worse. When the slaves were brought to this country Spanish and Latinos were ALL white as paper.

    The kind of people who don't want their children to either be killed, or abducted and turned into Sicarios by drug cartels.

    They didn't expect to find a criminal in the White House that would go to the extreme of torture. Yes! Torture! And the Trump administration even admitted it.

    As for the rest of your post, no idea what it is your point is. Assuming you have a point, that is. Unless your point was to prove how completely uninformed extremists on the right are. In which case you did make your point.

    Throwing in words like "Marx" and "Marxist" every couple of sentences does not make any of that nonsense you posted any less absurd.

    CRT teaches kids if you are black, you are oppressed and if you're white you are privileged. And you have nothing you can quote that disputes it. End of story

    I didn't change their status from white to brown. So who are the brown people the Dems are always referring too? So if we have white, brown and black where do we place the Arabs, Jews, Chinese and Asians? How about the mixed people? The whole frigging thing is a farce. If your born here you are an American. Too try and classify any other way, and, put people in boxes is racist.

    Do you honestly think America is a safer place? Where do you think most of these people are going to located? Chicaco, Jacksonville, LA, Baltimore, NY, Detroit, St. Louis , D.C. ? We will be having more gangs not less.

    Defend the Marxist's all you want and I will try and combat it as much as I can.

    Blacks are oppressed, and whites are privileged, teaching that is just fine. "All" is a bit hyperbolic, exceptions abound, but in the US generally whites have certain systemic advantages that blacks don't and blacks are generally oppressed.

    Its not unacceptable, but it wouldn't necessarily be racist to call it out as such, just indicative of ignorance and, likely, privilege.

    If Tucker Carlson says it, it's probably wrong. About the only difference between him and Alex Jones is that Tucker doesn't shout.

    Much.

    How are you opposing anti-bias, anti-racism, anti-bigotry when what you are teaching is bias, racist and bigoted

    No it isn't, and you can't show that it is.

    But can you show that's what CRT people are saying? I don't think so, but would be happy to be wrong.

    Let me guess, they said something largely benign, if somewhat controversial to those with a rosy outlook of our nations past, and you interpreted that as "Born a racist born an oppressor".

    Just type it in YouTube or Google and you’ll get pages of examples on TV shows, corporations, universities. Are you purposely NOT bothering to look? If you don’t want to see what people are saying on both sides then you’re sticking your head in the sand.

    The quotes that you posted yourself prove you wrong! I refer you to those.

    Probably he means the dictionary definition of oppressed. Just guessing.

    It isn't a good role for schools to teach politically charged subjects like racism. Best leave that to parents and concentrate on academic subjects in school. I realize racism in favor again but we should try to get past it, not dwell on it. Nothing good comes from racism.

    NOT to those who brought the first slaves to this country. Which is what YOU were referring to.

    Oh please. Give me a break. You know better than that.

    You get my misguided humor of the week award.

    Which once again proves that guessing is no substitute for research.

    Racism is no more politically charged than bullying. Only when right-wing extremists come into the debate do they become political issues. Apart from that, both Republicans and Democrats agree that racism is a huge problem in this country and children should be taught that it's as immoral as stealing, cheating, or... bullying...

    No research is necessary to form an opinion.

    Where do they teach critical bullying theory? Anything else to add?

    True. Tucker doesn't shout. He just pouts very very loudly.

    Well well well... What do we have here? Mocking Abraham Lincoln?

    You don't like democracy much, do you? Sounds like you would find a dictatorship more appealing. Maybe with Trump as the dictator?

    True. It's only necessary if you wanted to make an informed opinion.

    My case is made!

    No, how could you miss the fact that I was mocking you?

    Have you been trying to read minds again?

    Yes, I guess you have. Unlike you, though, I have lived under a dictatorship. Go preach to the choir.

    It's worse than I thought! You actually believed that the phrase about the government being of the people, by the people and for the people was mine? (or of the poster you responded to)

    Of golem? Hardly. I'm envious of Hunter Biden who can make a fortune blowing through a straw into water colors.

    There you go trying to read minds again. Silly pursuit.
