What does Critical Race Theory teach?

Wrong. See the lawsuit. CRT is more than just "law". Thanks.

 

Does CRT teach that blacks are very heavily represented in sport:

Professional sports leagues in North America have traditionally been home to athletes from many backgrounds and ethnicities. In 2020, almost three-quarters of the players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) were African American. In comparison, just under 17 percent of NBA athletes were white and 2.2 percent were Hispanic.

 

CRT has nothing to do with sports.

 

Well Mr. right winger, the OP supplies ample support for what's said.

 

Well, except when they don't.

And it's filled with crap like the following, page numbers provided

This crap is vile, those pushing it are scum, and it has no place in our government schools.

 

Furthermore the FBI site does no such thing. As a bigoted racist could you show me how you think it refutes all of the OP's links, please?

 

OK then, lol!

 

Glad I could help.

 

Wrong.

 

How does it repudiate the assertions? How can you assert that without any citations or references to the posted numbers? Can you explain without the echo chamber dog whistles and pejoratives?

School is not just someone standing up and saying "such-n-such" and it being true, the OP provides a large amount of reference material all you can muster is a link to the FBI stats which has no references to sub-files for identification.

You my dear sir have never schooled me in any subject, especially sociology.

 

You always do.

Critical race theory (CRT), intellectual movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.
This would include sports inequalities, no?

 

Actually, blacks are well represented in sport, entertainment and politics, so are certainly not oppressed there.

 

What the hell does being "represented" or not have to do with CRT?

This is the "I have a friend who is black" argument.

 

No. Height is not a social construct. Neither is talent. Nor strength, quickness reflexes or speed. Did you think they were?

 

One could easily formulate a corollary, that the rules of sports were designed and have been perpetuated to exclude whites. Each year, tens of thousands of white athletes are turned away from professional sports because the rules favor people that can run faster or jump higher, throw or catch better. These rules perpetuate black supremacy in sports. Even if you like watching sports and aren't racist, you're still racist beause you're contributing to systemic racism in sporting rules that disproportionately disadvantages white athletes. Hundreds of millions of dollars are awarded to black athletes each year solely because of their skin color, leaving white athletes with the choice of working at a car dealership, coaching, or suffering through senior college courses only to make 1/50th-1/100th the amount of income their black colleagues make playing professional sports.

Even small children feel the effects of sports' systemic racism. Blacks are often chosen before whites in junior leagues that have drafts, leaving many white children discouraged, eventually dropping out of sports altogether.

Sure, we might think that in sports, we want equal opportunity and the best person for the job, but that bastion of classical liberalism just perpetuates the anti-white black supremacy professional sports is known for. And people are ashamed to even talk about it. But we have to address it.

Note: The above is tongue-in-cheek. If you think that's ridiculous, then perhaps you ought to rethink supporting crap like CRT.

 

It's surprising how more and more of the right just dismiss practically everything as "fake news" and while they used to call themselves "the adults in the room" they are so willing to look the other way. # Sad.

 

I doubt the stats are "fake news". The interpretations of causation in many cases ARE, however. We're saying that correlation doesn't always explain causation. Such is the nature of statistics.

Many of those studies are bandied about as examples of racism, when in fact cultural and personal choices play a significant role. If we want to address the issue of racial disparity, we cannot blame all ills on racism. We have to face the entirety of reality. Not just a small fraction of it.

 

I don't know how that contradicts anything I said. What I'm saying is that a remark, or a joke, or a loose statement, in and of itself, is not necessarily a sign of racism. But that's not what CRT is about

If you have a point to make, you make it. I don't debate in this forum with people who are not in this forum. Read forum rules!

 

And I just proved you wrong. Delgado is a leading CRT expert and one of the founders of the theory. He thinks it IS part of CRT. I'll take his word over yours, thanks.

And I made my point by providing evidence that your post was indeed incomplete and misleading. You're welcome.

 

The studies don't include false claims like that.

But Tucker Carlson told you so. How could reality top that!

 

How does the OP demonstrate this?

 

Really? You think that there are white athelletes that are as good or better and are not given a chance because they are white? I don't think so.

 

Lies, damn lies and statistics. Yes, it is the nature of statistics.
"cultural and personal choices play a significant role."........such as? An example please to get a clear idea of what you have in mind.

 

Prove it false. Claim is all yours. Statistics show differently, so you're already behind the curve with your burden of proof.

 

Yes, but someone else already provided the Columbia link. I just brought it to your attention.
