It might surprise you to know I support critical race theory. Or, to be more exact, I believe it’s critical to understand – maybe more so than at any other point in our shared history in the U.S. – that there is only one race, the human race. There is no White race, no Black race, no red race, no brown race, no yellow race, no mixed race. There is one critical human race. That’s not a theory, that’s a fact.

There was no America in 1619. It was a collection of foreign owned colonies and territories until 1776 when 13 colonies came together and declared their independence from Great Britain.The war lasted 8 years, 1775-1783. Slavery existed in The United States of America for 79 years , ending with the Emancipation Proclamation in January , 1862. Our country was found with slavery because had that not been as a compromise , there would have been no country at all. "In order to form a more perfect union.................." Since its founding the USA worked toward ending slavery.

Careful Alveda, you'll get canceled. Actually she says some good stuff.
In spite of all of us sharing 99.5% of the same DNA, we are all different. No two people behave the same. There are huge differences in how people are brought up, any what we experience in life. Nor do we treat everyone the same, nor should we. We do not treat murders, rapists, thugs, and thieves the same as everyone else. Nor is the sluggard treated like everyone else. Everyone should have the same opportunities? How does one ensure everyone in a nation of over 330 million people have the same opportunities? You end up with a dictatorship that strips away rights leaving everyone at the lowest common denominator while giving privileges to those in charge.
In the end it boils down to each individual, and what they have made with their life.
By all means, the government should fix the inequalities that are fixable, but it needs to stop battling windmills. Racism is a wound that never completely heals, but if you pick at it, that wound will definitely get worse. One thing for certain though: We absolutely must stop teaching dishonesty, anger, hatred, and violence.

What a refreshing read against racism from a well known black American. Unfortunately, she still buys the "Floyd was killed by police" fraud.

I do not recall choosing the color of my skin. I am white. I do not recall choosing to grow up with books. That was the family I was born in. I did not have a choice of what school I attended. It was white. I learned very early in life about what a species was. In a species, a male and female are able to produce offspring. When humans do this, the offspring are labeled as mulattos. Dred Scott established that if you were 1/16 black, you were black and could be treated as a slave.
That has been Democratic policy since 1787. Blacks are Democratic, and always vote for Democrats. Democrats have Jim Crow laws, voter suppression, lynchings, the KKK, miscegenation laws, and segregated everything.
So get out there and work for Democrats. They will keep y'all in chains. I have Biden's word on it.

This is precisely why, when asked to check the race box on any form, I check “other” and write in “human”.

As I learn more about this insidious & poisonous belief I know I have to work harder to dispel its evil. It makes everything about race - and states that all power & social actions have a foundation of racial prejudice. This negativity has been fomented to tear apart America at our 'racial seam'. The Marxists that developed CRT have known since the 1920's that angry race relations are a point of weakness. Critical Theory turned into Critical Race Theory demands that we all deconstruct social interactions thru a racial lens (or a feminist lens, or a queer lens). It has infiltrated even the evangelical church (See Sovereign Nations on You Tube). It infiltrated the New Atheists and destroyed their organization. The good news is that some classical liberals are beginning to fight this junk. They are not Leftists - are left of 'center' but have much more in common with Conservatives than the crazy radicals. They have realized by reading the CRT texts that it rejects equality theory (that we all are made in the image of God), legal reasoning, basic Enlightenment principles, and the neutral principles of Constitutional law. James Lindsay says (on You Tube at Young America's Foundation conference this week): Critical Race Theory is a belief system (like a religion) which holds that racism is the fundamental organizing principle of society - invented by white people for their own benefit. The wild thing is - Critical Theory is rooted in Marxism etc. and merely a non-rigorous academic/scholarly chimera. It has no scientific basis in psychology or human behavior studies - it is all based on opinions, assumptions - pulled out of thin air. They may cite the I.A.T. (Implicit Association Test cooked up by Mashuri & Greenwald) - an unconscious bias test - yet that has no reliability nor validity according to it's creators. However that test has become the main instrument to force people in the workplace into 'diversity training' i.e. reeducation camps. Concepts like White fragility are deemed as something real and seen as Gospel Truth because of this 'idea laundering' as pointed out by Helen Pluckrose & Peter Boghossian. They say these ideas, which are only opinions & assumptions are being legitimized and being given moral standing by going thru the 'scholarly' processes of peer review and publication in a sociology journal.
