I completely agree with you and I am a white woman of privilege. I think my children should learn that our forefathers and ancestors were racist in some ways and brilliant in other ways and that humans can be both.

Blaine, I wish that was true, but it's not.

Every time I ask people what they mean, they move the goalposts, because actually CRT requires a basis in legal understanding, so unless you've studied law, you couldn't possibly be studying CRT. I'll ask, and people will suddenly change the subject to anti-racism or something completely different.

I absolutely hate when people do that. When they deflect from what you're asking. It ticks me off. Can't get a straight answer out of people.

These are my grandchildren, so I have even more red tape to go through, if you know what I mean.

I completely agree. The way to abolish the dividing of people is to stop caring about race and the color of the skin, stop talking about it. That's how you abolish it. The more you talk about it, the more you divide, the more you get people the reason to hate each other.

Very good point, Joshua.

Speaking though, I have to tell you I have to speak up if I hear something that I don't like regardless of the topic.

If someone were to walk up to me and call me a effing N-word with an E-R at the end, I'd simply stare at them and walk away. I have enough self-control to do that and they would be even madder that I did that rather than entertain them.

Imagine a world where there were a few thousand racist people and nobody ever responded to them to the racist remarks Nobody ever cared. Nobody ever called them out. Nobody gave them any attention They would simply disappear.

Yes, Joshua, that makes a lot of sense, but with all due respect, if they said something about your child or your sibling or somebody that you loved, I would get angry and speak up.

You say back in the day, no one cared about no color. How far back are we talking about? Are we talking about past the social elements that created black culture and the whole color cast system?

I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't know what you're trying to ask me.

Culture in my book doesn't have to do anything with color. It has to do with your environment. You could be a black guy from Mexico, you could be a black guy from America. It's going to be different.

When people say black culture is very, very generalized, but I would be extremely interested to hear your explanation of what it exactly is.

from somebody that's from the UK, from Mexico, from Canada, from America. I don't think they're all going to be the same culture.

I'm not asking a question, I'm making a statement. I'm simply stating that critical race theory should not be taught to children when they don't understand the concept. Adults teaching college is fine.

In my opinion, elementary school age children should not be learning this. And furthermore, it's a theory. So let's wait till they're older.

I thought it was the science of analyzing race and class. You're not really looking at people, you're looking at systems. Don't children have to be taught systems?

And furthermore, if the children have to learn all this twisted gender perspective, then for them to learn the history between race and class is not a bad thing, especially if it would help to adjust the value of citizen perspective.

I think what you guys are failing to see what I'm trying to say is that I think that children should not be learning any of that at an age they cannot conceive or understand what's happening.
