    Seems the "huh" part of that phrase wasn't well comprehended.

    FYI, it's Charlottesville, not Charlotte, and Critical Race Theory has no more to do with our History than its kissing Marxist cousin Critical Theory.

    You should also know that our schools in Virginia taught kids, including myself, about slavery, segregation, Massive Resistance, the Civil Rights movement, etc., long before "progressives" wanted to start programming our children to think like racists and Marxists.

    The Civil Rights Legend Who Opposed Critical Race Theory
    COMMENTARY
    By Steve Klinsky

    ...In 2015, Dr. Walker and I co-authored an essay about education reform and race relations, where we wrote:

    "Today, too many ‘remedies’ -- such as Critical Race Theory, the increasingly fashionable post-Marxist/postmodernist approach that analyzes society as institutional group power structures rather than on a spiritual or one-to-one human level -- are taking us in the wrong direction: separating even elementary school children into explicit racial groups, and emphasizing differences instead of similarities."...


    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a...who_opposed_critical_race_theory_144423.html#!

    Wyatt Walker used to live and preach in Petersburg, Virginia, which is not far from where I live and work. Despite the fact that he will forever be a greater man than Derrick Bell and Henry Rogers, aka Ibram X. Kendi, CRT "theorists" like them look down on men like Walker and MLK and and belittle their accomplishments.

    I get the impression most Lefties don't have a clue what CRT is, but they support it just the same...

    No, Segregationist Democrats who were Populist not Conservatives. The party that gave a home with welcoming arms to those Segregationist Democrats and their Populist politics.

    So I am clear where did I claim racism is not a part of the history our country? What did I post that leads you to that summation? Quote me the phrase that led you to this question?

    Facts are facts. You want to think that democrats changed parties. Not true. They still push for race centric legislation and think blacks are less capable than whites so nothing has really changed.

    Does anyone think that Lewis & Clark treated Sacagawea as an equal? Wright or wrong, keep the statue and put a plaque telling the story.

    I see it still was not comprehended. I see that "smartest guy in the room" persona doesn't always work well for you.

    Go back and read the post again. Notice the context "huh" is used in.

    Conservative Democrats wanted slavery. Progressive Republicans did not.

    Parties have changed. Ideologies have not.

    If those Confederate statues were in schools delivering daily living message that White children are born inferior and racist then ya I'd want to see them destroyed. But they aren't. They sit silently in little corners of small towns where they have been largely ignored. Plus AFAIK Sacagawea didn't fight for the south.

    I hear they also have a lot of nature lovers too....camping here, there everywhere. They save a lot of water by not using toilets and they're known to be big into recycling...syringes. Crap on sidewalks is just misplaced fertilizer. :thumbsup::thumbsup: :icon_shithappens:

    False POPULIST Democrats wanted slavery and segregation and discrimination and Jim Crowe, it was the party that gave them all a home with welcome arms.

    .

    Lincoln advocated returning black slaves to Africa.

    In the LIncoln Memorial in DC... Lincoln's hands are resting on two giant fasces [as in fascist]... so tear it down!

    This idea of 'Conservative Democrats' doesn't hold water since Democrats were 'progressive' in the form of social welfare since the early 1900's particularly Woodrow Wilson onward. Democrats on their idea for the social fabric of the economy have been pretty consistent over the past century. And the idea of the Southern Strategy also didn't hold much water, since it didn't affect the outcome of Congress or some major party swap.

    What really happened is that Democrats abandoned the South, in favor of the coastal and mid-atlantic states that had more EV than the Southern States. And as population grew in these population areas, territories like California and NY became vital, whereas the South continued to lose political influence in our electoral voting system.

    As it is, if you don't capture at least two of the power-six states(being CA, NY, Florida, PA, Texas and maybe Ohio.) no one has a chance of winning the Presidential nomination.

    Of the Six, 3 are solidly Democratic, Ohio's a swing State and Florida/Texas is the only conservative lynchpin

    It's all in the numbers and the leverage of the vote. Nothing as puristic and holy as the good guys changed parties, ROFL. That lie is such a political myth it's a shame it's perpetuated.

    Nothing “sits silently” when it represents something.
