UHD Center for Critical Race Studies Faculty Spotlight Interview

Respect your opinion... thanks for taking the time to read it.

What makes her a joke or dangerous? The fact that you disagree with her? If you disagree with her premise, prove her wrong.

SGT (Join to see) - Thanks Sgt Lee for your cordial response. Much respect!

CMSgt (Join to see) - Your welcome... just because I post something doesn't mean I'm in bed with it. Right, wrong, indifferent it gave me "another" perspective on CRT. Indoctrination isn't good... however teaching our true history is important to me. SFC Casey O'Mally

Some folks just spew back what they're told, many tend to lean right.

SFC Casey O'Mally - The host gave her long list of Psychology degrees, and she is interviewing the author of the book they are discussing. Who could be more competent to discuss the book than the author?

PFC David Foster I was commenting on your comment, not on the OP.

SFC Casey O'Mally - I understand, but even so, I have asked several people in here what CRT is, and not a single person has come anywhere close to giving me what the definition is, not ever close.

Good, cause that's not what this is. This is recognizing that the US has never been a nation where races are treated equally, across the board. This is recognizing that slavery was responsible for much of the tremendous rapid growth of the colonies and the United States. Africans were brought over in shackles to work the fields, Asians were brought over to build the railways, they worked in slavelike conditions, paid pennies, then kicked out of the country, Irish were brought over as slaves, millions of indentured servants were brought over to work in slavelike conditions. Slavery, and for the most part, those slaves where not white, is part of our past, and informs everyday actions.

And working to improve things needs to understand the past.. Pay people a living wage, don't treat other races differently, and understand why these things are important. Those who do not study the past are doomed to repeat it.

Anything else is just being butt-hurt.

PFC David Tomlinson - That's exactly what CRT teaches, no matter how much you want to deny it. You seem to take the same understanding of the leftists where you confuse equity with equality. They're fundamentally different in their outcomes. And the leftists seem to think that just because someone was discriminated against in the past, it's okay to discriminate against someone else now.
Most people think that people shouldn't be put in to groups based on the color of their skin and yet that's exactly what CRT teaches.

Sgt (Join to see) - Thanks for your opinion, professor. You seem to be confused about my post, all aspects of it. I am by no means a leftist. I don't want to discriminate against anyone. I want to learn from out mistakes. Do you?

PFC David Tomlinson - Sure. But learning from mistakes means you don't make the same ones but only for loftier ideals. That's what the left is doing, it's only justified now in the name of "equity," which is in direct contradiction to equality.
