    I like the Mille Miglia, the 1000 mile race. Twice as far and on real roads. Indianapolis eat your heart out

    These days folks can identify as anything. I don't know why more white people do not identify as some minority.

    As I noted earlier you do not seem to understand how society actually works. I am fully aware just because you have black skin does not make you African American. You could be Cuban American, Ethiopian, etc. or not attached to any ethnicity as it seems your case, but the vast majority of blacks in the US are African Americans and they have a long history of struggle against the dominate society. Their color is associated with a difference in treatment in the US. If you removed the skin color issue, making everyone white, it would have made the discrimination of ex-slaves and their descendants more difficult and probably by the 21st century that form of racism would be gone and we'd be on to other races. But that is not how the real world works.
    Truth needs to be associated with facts. Statements like "everyone is encouraged to be hyper aware of race" and people are being told "to see themselves foremost by what race they are" are subjective statements and exaggerations not facts.

    Race is the recognition that certain populations have physical and genetic similarities due to past social isolation; with that comes very different histories. It being "artificial" is a bit of a stretch.

    As for "CRT is bunk". The less one knows the more sure of ones opinion.

    No it's fact
    But the more one knows about critical race theory the more they know it's bullshit.

    So, subjective statements are known as "facts" in Kekistan?
    Interesting, you sound knowledgeable about CRT. What specifically is bullshit about CRT?

    I do not think anyone can join an ethnic minority.

    Anyone can join Jews -- it is not easy, but everyone can.

    Everyone should keep the Seven Laws of Noah. Most Christians and Muslims respect the Old Testament.

    Most people already belong to one. Ethnic minority isn't related to race

    Sure you can. Anyone can identify as anything and benefit from it. Just ask Elizabeth Warren.

    A fact is a thing proven to be true unless you live in Kekistan.
    And on CRT.....you got empty rhetoric.

    So you're afraid to answer the question I asked fair enough.

    I believe it was a (empty) rhetorical question.

    Well it wasn't it was to determine whether or not you understand what critical race theory is.

    Your reluctance to answer it shows that you don't believe in your own rhetoric.

    As I said empty rhetoric.
    The question I asked was "What specifically is bullshit about CRT?"
    Your answer: Why does 1+1=2?
    I am not the one afraid of answering questions.

    that's an excuse.
    if you have to ask this question then I take it you're not aware of what CRT is.

    That's like asking What specifically is bullshit about FET?
    that was actually a question used to help you understand why is this CRT is stupid.
    you're the only one refusing to.

    I answered your question with another question and it would lead you to why CRT is bullshit if you understand it at all. I don't think you do you're just simping for it because people you perceive as being on the other side say negative things about it.

    I don't think you're afraid of answering I think you're incapable.

    Oh, now I get it.
    Kekistan is a fictional country invented by users on 4chan's /pol/ board as the tongue-in-cheek ethnic origin of "shitposters" known as "Kekistanis".

    "Shitposting is posting aggressively, ironically, and of trollishly poor quality posts or content to an online forum or social media."

    No, you have. There was no "discussion". You made multiple declarative statements about CRT with nothing to back it up after I asked you to.

    I asked you a question and you made excuses not to answer it. They you started ranting about my avatar.

    Here's me trying to back it up again.

    Why does 1+1=2?

    Apply the answer according to CRT is you know how to.

    Why would you make excuses to avoid this? Outside of not knowing.
