    Unfortunately the bible endorsed slavery and many around the world felt they had a God given right to own slaves

    Practically every race known practiced slavery. The Muslims learned it from the Bantu people in Africa, and the Europeans bought slaves from them. The word slave comes from the Slavic peoples whom the Vikings thought made the best slaves

    That is not what I said. And second, none of these laws are in place in, especially the poll tax, that was specifically removed from the books in an amendment. The Chinese Exclusion Act is not in place, at least not the premise. It was the act to create the border patrol and the definition of "illegal alien." But the organization and definition have grown over time, and changed over time, then what the Chinese Exclusi0on Act. The Immigration Act of 1965 replaced the Immigration Act of 1924. And the other laws have long since gone.

    However, the point is that when these laws were enacted, the basis of these laws was racism and CRT helps explain why those laws were enacted at that time.

    Well you can think that but I do not support any regressive policy that would hold me accountable or punish me in any way for actions that I had nothing to do with.

    Such policies will create hate and division based on racial lines and would set us back decades.

    More people are enslaved today that at any time in the past.

    Slavery's dirty little secret is that it's mainly about sex, not labor.

    The point was that it should not have happened in the first place. Taking away all those pictures was wrong on so many levels as it is hard to fathom and yet, here you are supporting the such decision. Why is that?

    Second, there is no singular or universal definition of what patriotism is and the RW do not have a monopoly on patriotism. Patriotism is not defined by the political party you belong to, or the religion you practice, the job you do, or the beliefs you have. And the RW does not have a monopoly or the corner market on what patriotism is. They may act like it, but when it comes to what matters, they still have not, in my view, demonstrated that they have true patriotism. Simply being a citizen of this country, natural born or naturalized, is patriotism enough, but most people want to show their bravado which I find childish at best and those who truly do not understand what true patriotism means.

    Third, the bill's text you are citing basically states that anyone who thinks they have the thin skin to feel that their ancestors make them feel responsible has no business being in the classroom or for that matter teaching. It is also why that text allows the administration in a school to take down all those African American heroes in an elementary classroom.

    Fourth CRT is not taught, nor its "watered down version" as you said, in schools. What is happening is the following. You don't want the reconstruction period to be taught, you don't want certain people in our history books to be taught, especially minorities, you don't want the events that led to certain historical events to be taught, and so forth. That is not history, that is his story, a propaganda version of history much like what Russia does today about WW2 and the Korean War. The reason why you want this is that kids are easier to manipulate, easier to control, easier to accept your "version of events" no matter how inaccurate it is.

    The United States has done good, has done bad, and has done some very ugly things. All must be taught. The conservative/MAGA group wants to overemphasize the good, deemphasize the bad, and completely ignore the ugly much the same way that North Korea teaches its children. Want to be a true patriot, learn all and teach all, that's how.

    Businesses are not forced, it is the alternative they choose instead of the much costlier option of constant firings, hirings, and training to replace the people they fired. So, they choose the "less expensive" option.

    But if you were in business, you would have known that, but apparently you are not, obviously.

    It was not Vikings, it was the Muslims, but that is only where the word comes from. The idea of people owning other people is much older than that.

    Almost all governments were brutal to almost everyone back then. Get a sense of historical perspective -- something CRT lacks utterly.
    Whereas Africans were still enthusiastically enslaving each other after whites made slavery illegal.

    Slavery still exists today in USA and Ukraine, we will never be free from slavery, HOWEVER, I'm not referring to regular slavery. I'm referring to TAST (Trans Atlantic Slave Trade) as practiced EXCLUSIVELY by the white man. This was what was known as Chattel slavery. It was also race specific, i.e only so called Black race was to be enslaved. Have you heard of Chattel slavery?

    Chattel slavery was invented by Americans and targeted black women for eternal slavery.

    Slavery is not about racism either. American slavery WAS though. This is general CRT.

    and the bible endorsed it, many Christians in America believed they had a God given right to own slaves

    then of course after that, they used the bible for segregation when they could not use blacks as slaves anymore

    http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/loving.html

    "Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And, but for the interference with his arrangement, there would be no cause for such marriage. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
    -Judge Leon M. Bazile (January 6, 1959)

    Slavery is not about racism in the Bible either. American slavery WAS unique in that they believed only one specific type of ppl deserved to be slaves purely for their skin complexion

    Yes and they deliberately misinterpreted the Bible to make ppl believe that it contained the verse "and Africans were cursed with black skin and shall serve the Europeans"

    no they did not, it's in the bible, the bible was ok with slavery

    http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/slavery.html

    even justified raping slaves

    "And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. Leviticus 19:20"
