CRT is apart of history if not by another name. It would be impossible to better understand the Holocaust without studying the events leading up to the killing of millions of Jews, gypsies and others without understanding it was largely race based.
Would you have it that we just eliminate race from the equation and teach the Holocaust as “some guy convinced a group of people to kill millions of other people”?

A good reminder of where the 'America First' rhetoric first developed - from the people who thought we shouldn't have fought against Germany

But wait.. you hit it on the head. “2 groups that have hated each other for so long they don’t even know why”
1st I can tell you despite what you see in the media, the vast majority of black and whites don’t hate each other. The vast majority of black people understand that most white people today have never owned a slave. The anger is from the discrediting and the willful ignorance of the effect slavery has had on the black community.
And 2nd That’s exactly what CRT would discuss. It would discuss how race and laws overlap (Segregation, Jim Crow laws, redlining) and the effect it has on a population of people.
And understanding doesn’t lead to hate; it leads to communication and change

MAJ Byron Oyler Also SGT Charlie Lee makes a good point. This story of how the Dilihunts and them being “happy and treated as equal” is from your perspective of them as a child. You can’t really speak for them or how they felt behind the scenes.
