The Virginia Gov race

[C-south]

I really don’t care about CRT but what does it teach about our racial history that is not already part of the curriculum in schools? It doesn’t take a genius to realize that America has a brutal history of racism and enslavement.

Because they want people to feel that is the excuse for their failures today.

Speaking of menstruating, it must be your time of the month. You’re particularly bitchy.

He was, but he later told us that he had just lost his job on Monday and was PWI (posting while intoxicated) yesterday and last night. Most of us are giving him a pass on his posts yesterday.

 

[luthervol]

It’s moments like this where you lose all credibility on here.

Please, you make the claim that using race as a political tool started under Obama and then say I've lost all credibility. lol

 

[ButchPlz]

Trying to make white people today feel guilty for the past isn’t confronting history when you choose that as the stopping point.

Not to mention for the majority of us our family was too poor to own slaves anyway.

Great, but this is also a guy that's A-OK with people losing their jobs over the vaccine mandate.

Or weren't even in the country

Pretty funny that some posters here will not have a thing to say about that clip

I think America would love to go back to 2015 and start the primaries over.

Nah playa that's just you.

Though the 2020 election was like an asteriod hitting earth, the American people began to win again this week. We can all hope that K'ma'la's prediction about the Virginia governors race being a sign of things to come is one of the rare things she gets right. There is no reason we should be stuck with a 50 year veteran of politics who has been known to get everything wrong, being a lying cheat and doesn't appear to have solid foundational principals. He's a nice guy with bad intentions that family should be visiting on weekends at the assisted living facility.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Good to get that off your chest?
Please provide a link where the Virginia voters were called uninformed white extremist.
Please provide a link where Van Jones called voters white terrorists.
If you can't...........you are the lying imbecile.
I'll wait.

All I saw (on my brief search) was Van talking about the right using Critical Race Theory as a dog whistle to inflame the racists instincts within voters. I agree. The only time I hear anything about CRT (and I'm in education) is when the right is using it to inflame the gullible.

Parents are using real life examples of public school board and teachers failing and being wrong and that galvanizes voters of all races which is why thank god it’s a losing battle for political hack teachers who think they know what is better for the kids then their parents. It’s not just “CRT” and the fact you think it is shows how out of touch with reality you are

 

[Rickyvol77]

It's both sides, really. People on the left are trying to brand the opposition to CRT as racists and the right is losing their absolute minds over CRT trying to scare people.

I can't believe how cowardly the right is about confronting our racial history. It's no wonder some on the left are confused about their motives (some are not confused, they are just seizing the political opportunity). It makes little sense to anybody who can look at CRT with a minimal degree of fairness. We've heard people claim that Facebook and Twitter are modern book burners, but apparently banning everybody else's kids from engaging in a totally legitimate topic of discussion in K-12 is fine. Apparently, fear-mongering was a winning strategy, so I guess good for them because winning is everything.

So is CRT bad or not? Some on the left are saying it doesn’t exist and some are saying it really is just discussing MLK and civil rights which is both a bunch of BS.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Oh my, someone confused CRT being a requirement to talk about history honestly.

What part of my history education (pre CRT). In schools was dishonest? We were taught about the shameful Constitutional 3/5 person compromise, the transatlantic slave trade and how it enrichedSouthern landowners, the Dread Scott Decision, the Missouri Compromise, Bleeding Kansas, John Brown’s Raid, the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation, the horrors of reconstruction, Jim Crow, Little Rock schools and the National Guard, Rosa Parks and the 16th Street Church, MLK and the Freedom riders, the Selma Bridge, the Voting Rights Act, the KKK and White Supremacy defiance disguised as State’s rights. What exactly was hidden from me that I would have needed CRT to reveal? I graduated knowing that racism was horrid and repulsive and that I needed to avoid it and denounce it every time I saw it. Please tell me what you mean by being anti CRT being somehow anti history? The only thing CRT adds is a corrupt twist to the effect that the future is unavoidably determined by the past. How does that HELP anyone?

BWHAAAA!

If anyone ever had the ability to unite it would’ve been him. He went full Brandon with that opportunity.

 

[Vol423]

When parents are able to show and demonstrate their kids being told they are evil based on skin color and it's coming from the school system, that's a major problem that must be addressed. It's happening in VA and has been demonstrated many times by parents. Whether you want to call that CRT or something else is inconsequential

Correct. I don't give a damn what terminology the socialist left has used as their code word for their divisive racist school curriculum so they can always deny that they're teaching CRT. This curriculum exists in schools across the country. It is incredibly racist. It's incredibly divisive, it's wrong, and we've had enough of the far left's lies and constant cover-ups.

 

[Vol737]

I think it would. Maybe for starters more repubs would understand that the vast majority of dems want nothing to do with race war nonsense and the perception that they do is fueled by the ones on the right wishing to increase the divide.

Nonsense. I would say nearly every Democrat, be it politician, consultant, lobbyist, anchor person, etc., I’ve seen interviewed on CNN, MSNBC, Fox and every other outlet goes down the path of playing the race card and labeling damn near everything as racist. The hell they don’t want a race war. If not, then quit pushing this narrative every time they open their mouth.

This brings up an issue I’m curious about. Does CRT include the fact that the original slave holders/sellers in Africa were black? or the fact that blacks continue to practice slavery today.

Or that blacks aren't the only people that have been enslaved? Or that white people have also been enslaved, including here in the US?

None. He just likes to throw around false accusations.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Do these millionaires look to be sad & crying when they were playing in an enslaved sport ....

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I really don’t have a dog in the fight with the Elections that take place in Virginia but I find the media narrative comical that Americans in Virginia are now racist for electing a Republican governor.

 

[allvol123]

Or that blacks aren't the only people that have been enslaved? Or that white people have also been enslaved, including here in the US?

Or that slavery exists Right Now.

So is slavery really an important issue or you just like living off what you can bilk out of it from stupid white Americans.

 

[BreatheUT]

These people are pathetic. Many of the positions they support are about race. You can see how them saying this day in and day out for years and decades have low info voters buying the propaganda if this is all you've been fed.

It reminds me of how they destroy middle class neighborhoods that they don't have to live in on these principles.

Survey says: NO.

See: rampant support of China and consumption of slave-produced products from around the world.
