Poll of the Day > What is Critical Race Theory?

(+) Yeah! (+)

You're asking the right questions but still somehow with a negative context. The point is to identify what needs to be fixed and try to come up with reasonable solutions.

That. Literally that. Where are people getting this "free all criminals, free money, fuck white people" stuff from? (Rhetorical question; we all know where)

As demonstrated, there are many people who bury their heads and refuse to acknowledge that any such problems exist at all; it's pretty difficult to get anything done as long as that mentality exists.

Because it's not doing that. It's easy to discuss the problems in the prison system and how it impacts minority groups disproportionately (our criminal justice system is nucking futs flat-out); but CRT would proclaim that basically every minority that got arrested was arrested because of racist profiling and practices. So the real problem of, say, minor crimes being vastly disproportionately punished, a prison system that is focused on punishment instead of rehabilitation, and so-forth would be ignored by CRT in favor of 'all cops and judges are racist'. This is where defund the police came from. Because the solution to dealing with the issues of racism in the police, instead of being properly diagnosed and addressed, were assigned a blanket fix-all that ignored a lot of reality in favor of a fanciful outcome that resulted in massive spikes in crime. If you believe the police to be corrupt, sure, we can have that discussion. I'm fully in favor of at least trying that 'civil officer' idea. But the knee-jerk response of getting rid of ALL of them while not having even basic law enforcement in play leads to lots of issues. CRT causes nothing but problems and should be shunned and banned so that problems can be actually addressed, actual conversations had, and actual solutions found. As opposed to claiming innocent people are inherently racist and the like.

My uncle would be on the exact opposite side of the political spectrum from what you're implying.

I dunno, maybe all the cases of police killing innocent people for no fucking reason and getting off scott free?

Probably from the fact that in most jobs you don't get your pay raised if you do shitty work, and it's on the fucking taxpayer dime.

I have written out a response; but the thing is I'm not so sure I should post it. This whole discussion is already massively volatile and I'm also REALLY unconvinced that any argument made could change someone's mind on this subject. I already did a stupid by getting involved in a political topic which I've been trying to avoid doing (unsuccessfully, but trying) because it seems to do nothing but cause problems. I want to walk away at this point because I know it will only cause a fight if I don't. As I have saved the post elsewhere I can post it if need-be, but I'm not sure at all if I should. I guess I'm saying that, really, I don't want to get caught in a stupid internet post fight where all that happens is people yell at each other, gets mad and hateful, and the only 'progress' is in how high our blood pressure gets.

Good call. Best not argue about things you have no clue about. I try to avoid that myself as well.

Probably because all your arguments are based on blatant lies

Haha.... No. You might wanna do a bit of poking around as to what actually happened. I'll give you a small hint. A lot of the people who were calling for it tended to also espouse a very specific viewpoint beginning with a 'C'.

Cool story bro

It's funny that I don't have to be afraid because I don't lie and and fabricate stuff to support unsupportable positions.

Thing is - as long as people are aware of the basics of CRT and the real examples, then it's ok to disagree with it, I just don't like when people bash the strawman version of CRT

But then they can't cower in fear of it.

Goddam tucker Carlson had fucked up this country so badly.

this is done by liberals to disenfranchise people
they think if they know one more thing then you do about a subject they can cancel you
which is why they don't want to teach this in highschool
they like having these imaginary badges to wear around so they can control people

they did the same thing to me when they brought up neo-slavery
i said isn't that segregation and chain gangs?

and they tried switching the subject to my mental health instead of outright denyin

it's all a facade
no one really needs to know anything
they jus want to feel important and put in the same circumstances
red lining and chain gangs would be things that they're interested in investing in
'real estate' people are notorious for only selling to friends and family of the same religion
you can jus look at the top 100 most corrupt real estate agents/land lords in NY they all practice nepotism

and the primary modis operandi of SJW's is that they've been working the whole time you've been slacking off
so tellin people they threw blacks in jail for being homeless is counter intuitive
they actually like the idea of living in pods

this is all about putting people they don't like in re-education camps that go on indefinitely
they picked up the idea from China

Did I just read some sort of beat poetry?

blacks will never be called racist for committing black on black violences
it's all a charade to target one specific group of people that may or may not have been involved for 'woke' points

I think he is trying to get modded.

So answer the question, how is a white person preventing you from getting a job, just because they're smarter?

So a person is smarter because they are white? What kind of racist shit are you trying dude?

Aww I missed something good

I have no idea what it is either and I wish someone would explain it. I guess if I had to guess it would mean that CRT is a social construct in that it measures the impact on things like injustice in housing segregation, education, law enforcement. healthcare disparities as it relates to race etc which tends to favor the dominant group which in America would be White people.

that dude got real upset that he learned he was a moron

I would hope some people actually got some answers in this thread, amid the usual suspects and their usual ranting. But since people are still asking and saying they don't know..

I don't watch last week's news.

It's a humorous and informative deep-dive on the subject

Since so many seem to be burying their heads in the sand

They can speed it up. Honestly, I have no patience anymore for people who have multiple life-times' worth of information at their fingertips and are like "BUT IT WOULD TAKE LIKE TEN WHOLE MINUTES. TEN MINUTES!" and then they proceed to stay on gamefaqs for an hour whining about the same exact subject that they refuse to educate themselves on.

yeah that's called being disingenuous

because they're trolling

10 minutes to reinforce their pre-established beliefs is not worth the effort, even shit posting is more personally beneficial than doing your legwork for you.

it's your legwork

you are the one arguing something, no one else is, they're just immediatelyshutting down your entire misinformed argument with factual information

In what way? It's what you care about, I can happily ignore it at no cost.

Aww, does Kyuubi argue from a dishonest position and then wade around in his own filth like he won some sort of argument?

if you didn't care, you wouldn't be in here screeching trying to hide your thinly veiled racism.

I suppose when you're a cult of racism, everything not part of your religion would be seen as "true" racism, wouldn't it.

Get whatever image you like, I stand by my statements, it just shows how poor your general comprehension is.

no i think we all comprehended when you defended the murderers of aubrey with a fervent passion

which dwarfed the time you defended the murderer of floyd

@EvilMegas i think also would want to dogpile in and shit on you some more, as well, it's pretty fun

God you're dense lmao this is why nobody wants to join your cult, you're insane.

"Why would I spend any time learning when I could instead spend that time making sure people on the internet laugh at me?"

Have fun with that, Kyuubi.

the one that aknowledges that racism very much was and still is a thing?

seems like a pretty decent cult to be a part of, no surprise you wouldn't want to join, since you keep showing everyone that you are the very thing they're against

which is racists

there's literally only one reason to be against racism, and that is if you are racist

The one that insists oppression is in place while acknowledging that it has been removed. The one that's used by many as a scapegoat for their own personal failings, which is typically what a cult does to get people hooked as people are desperate to relieve burden off themselves.

No practical solutions, just excuses to be angry at people who don't know or interact with them so they don't have to be a fucking adult. Petulant racism, the most pathetic kind.
