      @@spidgeb3292 I think an example of what could be considered a racist law would be the difference in punishment between crack and cocaine (same substance just at different purity levels) because crack was predominantly pushed in black communities while cocaine was more predominantly used by white people. Crack is considered to warrant a more harsh punishment than cocaine, and you may think "oh probably because of crack being more pure" but in actuality cocaine is the more pure substance. The point I'm getting at is that crack was treated more harshly in punishment because of its use by black people. So I think that's a pretty straight forward example of how the system is racist without any overtly racist laws.

Crack is massively more addictive much more quickly than cocaine, it's cheap (cocaine in the 80s and 90s wasn't), communities were being destroyed by crack usage and distribution, and--this is the important one--black community leaders and mayors practically insisted on harsher penalties for crack distribution. Now, if you want a true white drug-vs. black drug comparison, that would be meth vs. crack. Meth is the drug of poor rural whites. It's cheap, immediately addictive, and destroying communities. That's your better comparison. And penalties for meth and crack are damn near identical.

      I believe in Enlightenment Liberal Values, and the need for a "liberal education" (as I imperfectly understand it)...and I strongly disagree with my fellow liberals who denigrate Western liberal values. But they do rightly point out that for much of it's history, those who were responsible for supplying that Western liberal education, excluded women, non-whites, other minorities. It's up to those of us who believe in the value of that thought system to make sure that it is open to all, equally. even if that means that means being labeled "woke".

Reasoning may fail to work well in a state of confusion. Logic requires clarity. Not everything is clear to us, including policies or the current way of life. But we have enough intelligence and intellect to gather whatever is apparent to base our decisions. This collection of information and input that are not fed to us does not lie, for they were apparent and therefore had to be preexisting.

The slave trade, their lives as slaves, and their treatment after should not be spoken off because it happened when you were not alive and it shames your race? So should all history be erased? including the story of how the settlers landed in Plymouth rock and all the way through the revolutionary war? Is this "collective guilt" the fact that you descend from racist and you want to ignore it and perceive it never happened? African American's should just ignore that they descend from slaves that were victims of human trafficking, sex trafficking, and inhumane living conditions.....so whites in 2021 can feel better about themselves? Is it that Critical Race theory is such a "threat" because It points out unequal outcomes of systems and institutions. Admitting that a certain group benefits does not place blame or impose guilt, unless you refuse to acknowledge and help dismantle those unequal systems....a ploy to stay the dominant race and relevant?

      @music Pimento Nobody said racism was not a big part of America's history, including Rufo. In fact, at one point in this video, he said there is no denying that racism is a part of American history. Looking at your examples: 1. Jim Crow laws are all abolished; 2) any new home owners association contract that includes a race restrictive covenant is illegal and if any contract has such a provision, states or federal attorneys general would (and should) bring actions to eliminate those covenants from the contracts; and 3) nobody today disputes that what happened in Tulsa 100 years ago was an inexcusable tragedy. Today, while there are individuals of all races who are racist, America by law and Constitution is color-blind. Its principles are to give all citizens equal treatment and opportunity regardless of the citizens' race(s). Critical race theory says to a little kid who has never caused anyone any harm in his life that because of the color of his skin, he is either an privileged oppressor or a oppressed victim. That is absurdity of the first order. Teaching kids that their integrity, industriousness and character are what define them as people is far more productive. Also, anyone who supports the idea of a Department of Anti-Racism which could review and nullify laws without oversight wants to live in an Orwellian hell.

      @music Pimento First, you are saying that the people who implement the laws are racist. That is a ridiculous generalization. What is the percentage of the those who are racist? How are the systems racist? I hear a lot of screaming that America's "systems" are racist and next to no examples. And please don't pull this "I am glad you recognize America's racist history" nonsense with me. That is a typical leftist method of making it look like someone who disagrees with you actually agrees with you. I said racism is part of America's history, not that its history is racist. America's history covers a lot of ground and this country is not completely grounded in racism. And you're damn right I don't agree with teaching kids that racism infects our systems. First, as I said, individuals in the systems may be racist, but that does not mean that the racism is all pervasive in the systems. Secondly, these angry little neo-Marxists don't want to to teach kids that racism has to one degree or another infected systems of governance or economics, but to teach them they are harming others or are themselves being harmed based on qualities over which they have no control. Kids should be taught a thorough and honest form of history, math, science and English. Any socialization lessons should be based on integrity, decency and respect for all regardless of race, religion, etc. If these dimwits in education did that, race would not be a national obsession any more and people like Nikole Hannah Jones would be irrelevant. Instead this country has an obsession with race thanks to neo-Marxists who realized that America lacked the necessary class tension.

I felt bad, but luckily my mom caught on to what was going on during a parent- teacher conference.
      e.g. words like "fetch, reckon, yonder, ya'all, fixin" etc were alien to me. Words that she spoke differently like yellow. = "yella". had no idea what a "yella" was.... you yelling at me for something ?!

Whether or not their ancestors were even here for said events is irrelevant apparently, just that the skin is the the right (or wrong) tone. As far as I can tell, this is just some kind of revenge for past injustices based solely on skin color. As Ibram Kendi said “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

      Republicans are doing to the unemployed actually is explained by classic Marxism.
      Let me explain. In his magnum opus Capital, Marx argued that a capitalist system will more-or-less automatically produce a population of surplus workers. Businesses become more productive through greater capital investment, which will require more workers in some areas but far fewer in others, and hence this process will always tend to to create an "industrial reserve army" of surplus labor - that is, the unemployed.
      This reserve army is very important for classical capitalism. It "becomes … the lever of capitalistic accumulation, nay, a condition of existence of the capitalist mode of production." The reason is that businesses are constantly changing the way they operate, and so always need a large supply of idle workers to fling into new projects on a moment's notice:
      The mass of social wealth, overflowing with the advance of accumulation, and transformable into additional capital, thrusts itself frantically into old branches of production, whose market suddenly expands, or into newly formed branches, such as railways, &c., the need for which grows out of the development of the old ones. In all such cases, there must be the possibility of throwing great masses of men suddenly on the decisive points without injury to the scale of production in other spheres.
      This industrial reserve army also allows capitalists to better exploit the people they do employ, because it exerts a "competition" that forces workers "to submit to overwork and to subjugation under the dictates of capital."

    Hi Mr Ruffo. Do you have a website or somewhere else I can go to find citations for all of the things that you said. I believe that CRT is harmful, but because their writings are so voluminous, I have trouble defining it to my liberal friends. So I basically find myself just repeating what they rightly call conservative talking points. Which, they in turn say that I am just making it all up. So to repeat my question, do you have citations from their own writings? Thanks. P. S. Keep up the good fight.

    • @fwp3144
      @fwp3144 3 года назад +1

      The answer is no. Rufo, and other white conservatives, are getting upset about a delusion they make up... as usual. In short, CRT is frame for, "studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism,, and power" (Delgado & Stefancic 2012: 3). One of the key analytical frames CRT emphasizes, is that racism is not a personal bias but a social institution that perpetuates white supremacy. Racism is about power, not personal bias.

      A micro aggression can be literally anything. Anything all all. Which takes it down to nothing other than a perception in the mind of someone who has a dislike for the 'other.' Same thing for that other cute trick - impact versus intent. Whether I claim that what I'm writing right now is an act of aggression based on a wish to belittle, put down, win an argument - or engage in a healthy debate requiring critical thought and the free exchange of words and ideas - if it is claimed to be antagonistic and brimming with an alternative agenda that is racist-based.....and I claim no such intention whatsoever, it does not matter. The 'impact' is all that matters. This breeds a sense of accountability commonly found in toddlers.
      In this way, does a series of relationships arise whereupon grievance is aided by these bastard children spawned by critical theory.
      Much as parts of major world religions have been twisted and bent out of shape to justify cruelty and inhumane treatment - the logic is much the same. It happens because that's what humans do.
      So we're left with the long task of trying to keep the damage reduced to a minimum.
