    You mean wearing masks that don’t work or arbitrary social distancing or keeping people inside where spread is worse? Hopefully people didn’t listen.

    Who's "we" ??

    Certainly not me and my forefathers! Southern states had anti-miscegenation laws until the evil cultural marxist US Extreme Court banned all anti-miscegenation laws in 1967. Texas had an anti-miscegenation law since it was a Republic [1836-1967.]



    CRT is an evil perverted antichrist cultural marxist abomination that promotes the racial, cultural, religious and moral destruction of White European Christendom.

    Karl Marx, the "Frankfurt School" and 85% of Russia's first bolshevik government = antichirst jews.

    True...and military equipment is probably one of our largest exports (if not the largest), which in a roundabout way underwrites our own military expenditures. That's probably going to evolve with greater foreign contributions to alliances such as NATO. If you're picking up the check, you probably pick a restaurant where you like the menu. If everyone is picking up their own check, then the selection of the restaurant is more problematic.

    Trump has a history of betting big on every bs conspiracy theory that comes around. There is a market for politically motivated full-blown conspiracies to taking advantage of the public's ignorance of something, which is what we're witnessing with CRT, and riling up the base with what is, in effect, a ghost. And this market appears driven almost entirely by Donald Trump. Fascinating.

    Trump's history also includes every single one of his baseless conspiracies becoming revealed, usually immediately, as we're seeing now with Milley's and Austin's statements. Sadly, Trump supporters are impervious to reality, therefore the CT mongers will be there to pounce, and the lapdogs in Washington continue to bow down. Or genuflect. Or kiss something or another. Pathetic. It seems a vicious cycle. Also fascinating.

    CRT will be forgotten long before Nov. '22. There will be many more falsehoods, conspiracies and failed strategies between now and then. They will be forgotten, too.

    Not many people today take pride in being racist. The trend is toward globalism, which is more effective without racial prejudices and with a single global culture. Perhaps Trumpism is your Last Hurrah?
    As Milley said, "I've read Marx, but am not a communist." Aside from communism, Marx was a leading sociologist and economist. People who study the social sciences generally read some Marx at one time or another. Are you afraid of reading ideas contrary to your own? Sounds like it.

    He used to post on Pravda's forum.

    The irony is... Pravda [which means "truth"] was Communist Russia's main disinformation propaganda newspapers.

    Don't think so...greater probability that it will become accepted psychology and be incorporated into the field.

    If not for heterosexuals, the human race would have gone extinct. You would not exist if not for the heterosexual activity of thousands of your ancestors.

    From my Biblical world view... we are now living in the evil perverted globalist end of the age.

    In Revelation prophecy, the end of age globalist evil empire is called, "Babylon." To better understand that, one must understand how ancient Babylon became a melting pot of diverse conquered peoples. When God's anointed king, Cyrus the Great, conquered ancient Babylon, he returned Babylon's captives back to their native homelands and restored their individuality.

    In Luke 17 Jesus said the end of the age would be a repeat of the evil "days of Noah" [the grave sin was race-mixing] and the evil "days of Lot" [Lot lived in Sodom] - twin Bible examples of societies so far past the point of no return, God had to destroy them. Then Jesus said, His second coming would be like the fire from heaven that destroyed Sodom.

    So, your white superiority philosophy is based on your interpretation of Christianity?

    I worded that poorly. I wasn't saying CRT itself will be forgotten. I'm saying the outrage and mischaracterization by the right will be forgotten.

    Our education system is changing. It would be naive to credit the evolution of teaching entirely to an obscure graduate level law school study.

    Whatever influence CRT has or will have over our education system seems, to me, a tiny part of an ever changing society which is becoming more diverse, more educated, and for the moment at least, more politically active. This path of study was inevitable. The last four years were a bump in the road.

    Certain groups of people are going to think anything that has the word "black" in it is racist, and any instance of the word "white" is a dog whistle for "bad." Screwy, but these same groups think Biden stole the election. Not much hope for them. Good thing is, they are a small minority.

    I don't say this normally about our military leaders, but this guy is a moron.

    Critical Race Theory is nothing but racism through and through and has nothing to do with anyone except those that embrace it. They are the true racists in their hearts.

    I have always thought of the Bible, whose books were chosen for inclusion by the Roman Catholic Church, as a "Tale of Two Cities." The Old Testament was a picture of human's as they are; the New Testament as a picture of things as they could become, were Christianity adopted. That was the only way I could rationalize the obvious contradiction in the Old Testament's "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" with the New Testament's "turn the other cheek" and "love thy neighbor." IMO, Jesus arrived at a time in human history wherein our species had pretty much conquered "nature" and the next challenge would be those involving intra-species disputes. Jesus was saying, strive for peace through human love rather than war through human hatred.
    Sounds like you'd reject that interpretation.

    I'm pretty sure that CRT is completely misunderstood by most posters here that object to it. You say it's racism through and through. Give an example to show how it is.....please.

    If I could amend a bit. The Council of Nicea and the First Council of Constantinople took place in 325 and 381 where they gave their blessing on the Cannon of the scriptures. Roman Catholicism officially came into existence in 590 with Pope Gregory I. Roman Catholicism added the Apocrypha books to their cannon.

    The Bible [OT & NT] is one book that tells the same story... a continuing love story between God and God's chosen people, Aryan Israelites, whose literal descendants are White European Christendom.

    I remember reading something about the legal theory a generation ago. Richard Posner, in his "Overcoming Law," write a chapter on CRT, in 1995. Posner, a self-described "pragmatist" appointed by Reagan to the Seventh Circuit Appealate Court, in Chicago, traced CRT's roots to Patricia Williams' "The Alchemy of Race and Rights: The Diary of a Law Professor" (1991). Williams, who was a black law professor of contracts and commercial law, pointed out the differences in black culture vs white culture in law...a subject you might say played out in the subsequent rewriting of CRA banking rules at the end of the Clinton administration, which called on banks to consider cultural differences in granting loans...and a phenomnon Republicans during the Bush administration tried to trace the roots of the Great Recession to, despite it being largely debunked subsequently. Could be that this is just a throw back to that.
