    Actually, only 71% of Jews are Democrat and 26% are Republican. Here.

    Most Liberals support blacklisting of those who disagree with them.

    I didn't even know there WAS a blacklist.

    Democrats think blacks can't use computers and do not know how to get I.D. They can't graduate high school so we must remove testing for reading, writing math. They've got black mothers hooked on welfare systems which removes fathers from the home and perpetuates dependency on social services.

    That's about as racist as it gets.

    Oh and I mean...who said "if you don't vote for me you ain't black"?

    Indeed. But if one MUST press forward and identify other forms of Democrat racism, blaming the lack of minority vaccination on Trump, who is no longer in office, takes the cake.

    Previous post you categorically denied that the teachers union supported CRT and now you try to justify why they do. Typical.

    They don't support CRT. The cite was a discussion at a convention, not a union position. That's why I explained them trying to have it both ways.
    So much for explaining to you what the teachers' unions are about. :roll: :roll:

    Numerous teachers unions have adopted CRT, or components thereof, to indoctrinate students. Your excuses and hair splitting has grown old and isn't compelling.

    This is another example of ill-informed people not even knowing what "facts" are, and just blindly regurgitating an anti-intellectual argument.

    "Facts" are just individual bits of information, which can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways. So no, of course theories like critical theory don't "teach facts" - they teach beliefs or conclusions which attempt to include facts to support them - but of course those facts (or other facts not included entirely) could easily form different and possibly superior conclusions as well.

    If you want a general definition of what the beliefs inspired by critical theory are, here you go:

    https://www.britannica.com/topic/critical-theory

    Marxist-inspired movement in social and political philosophy originally associated with the work of the Frankfurt School. Drawing particularly on the thought of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud, critical theorists maintain that a primary goal of philosophy is to understand and to help overcome the social structures through which people are dominated and oppressed.

    LOL, Your blanket and factless denial just proves you don't know or won't admit what's going on.

    Facts include the inconvenient fact that CRT founders included all sorts of concepts into their theory that are now being taught in schools by force.

    Propaganda. You smear school teachers like they're "the enemy."

    If the CRT shoe fits, wear it. It is what it is, certain teachers teaching kids that being white is evil. Shame on them.

    The Big Lie.

    You and your elk paid no attention to CRT until you wanted something to propagandize folks. I figure you're doing it knowingly and don't care if you damage the country.

    You’re the one promoting a Big Lie.

    We will teach CRT components in schools and pretend we aren’t. Herp derp.

    Screw you.

    A close collaborator of MLK called out the danger of CRT as long ago as 2015.

    "Teacher" is just a silly and irrelevant job description which doesn't even preclude having a 100 IQ or being able to know or teach anything beyond the paltry 6th grade reading level or so which compromises mass education models.

    The average person who holds a mass, corporate occupation which bestows meaningless titles like "teacher" or "professor" is barely anymore relevant in the real world than a Wal-Mart greeter and certainly not an actual intellectual or sage in the vein of Plato or Aristotle, or other individuals who likely had IQ and other measures of intelligence well beyond the MENSA level.

    WHAT? CRT teaches conclusions based on facts? How dare they!

    You are more than welcome to tell us what those conclusions might be. I can only speculate why you didn't do that without me having to ask. Right now my bet is on "you don't have any". If you had, we would have been spared from all the yapping, and we would have seen them already.

    How about presenting evidence white children are being told they should be ashamed they were born white? There are more than 100,000 schools in the country. Surely, you can find more than a handful of examples.

    Depends upon what one thinks it means. Are institutions created and maintained specifically to screw black people because they're black? Not many. Plenty are created, however, to exploit people because there is something to be gained. That the folks in the crosshairs are black is coincidental.

    The reason black people are still getting screwed is important. If it's because they're black, that's one thing. If it's because "they" can exploit blacks, we have something easily changed.

    Doesn't "depend" on anything. CRT is a pernicious view of society.
    No, Critical Race Theory Isn’t a New Civil Rights Movement. (Just the Opposite)
    06 Jun 2021
    ". . . King was assassinated in 1968. But some of his contemporaries lived long enough to see the way that his ideas were mangled. The Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker, a leading civil rights activist, and one of King’s closest confidants, spoke out against Critical Race Theory in 2015, years before CRT went mainstream in schools and bestselling books. “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,” he
    wrote in a co-authored article. “[These ideas] separat[e] even elementary school children into explicit racial groups, and emphasizing differences instead of similarities.”. . . "

    Terrible and nonsensical conclusions based on the sketchiest of facts and reinforced via confirmation basis, yes.

    Your nonsensical blather aside, the facts in question do not support critical race theory, anymore than higher percentages of "black criminals" support racism in the vein of the Klan or Neo-Nazis.

    Critical theory is just outdated Marxist propaganda and snake oil for the stupid and worthless, that's all it's worth considering.
