"It always sounded unconstitutional—besides being unremittingly racist—and, it turned out, that on July 8, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee declared it to be so."

SGT (Join to see) the article is very informative, fair, and true. I am now having to deal with a nasty issue that had arisen out of race hate. But this and other issues have been amplified by the administration's policies that uphold the argument for reparations for Negro Americans, in the absence of say, the white indentured servants from different countries were enslaved because they had paid their 7-year servitude in full and we're leaving. The one sided argument in the face of selected omissions of other facts has created another kind of race hate that is just as vicious as lynching.

SGT (Join to see) so as we see, those we would not know has a valuable stake in a successful America in this day and time without dredging up impossible requests and making them add to our struggle to fix our problems.

I find it amusing that the author, while decrying Critical Race Theory, actually advances an argument stemming from CRT in the paragraph: "The roots of this behavior go way back, further back even than the obvious Obama administration and into an exploitation of black people inherent in the Democratic Party since Lyndon Johnson and well before when they could be overtly racist."
He proposes that the roots of racism are inherent and promogulated in and by a political system rather than based in any individual bias or prejudice, the very core tenet of CRT.
And yes, I understand the authors central argument that many that contribute to the public coffers had no direct part in the institution of slavery or the systematic racism that followed liberation of the slaves, they did benefit from participation in the system that did. Do any of us really have a say in where our tax dollars are spent? Not really. Not directly. I am sure there are plenty of programs and government expenditures right now, on both sides of the spectrum, to which people would prefer their tax dollars not contribute, but they don't have a say.
In reality this is just an argument that some people do not want their government to acknowledge and make amends for something that was clearly wrong. I am willing to bet these same people will bemoan big government and how government is not held accountable while at the same time making an argument that the government should not be held accountable... because it makes them personally uncomfortable. And then their is a group that do not feel that slavery was wrong at all, and I bet I know who they vote for.

PO3 Phyllis Maynard - Actually no. A central tenet of CRT is that racism and racist policies are are advanced through government actions, sometimes knowingly, and other times as an unintended consequence, and not exclusively by individual bias or prejudice. It is the objective of CRT to look critically at history and identify where this may have occurred, and what, if anything, may be done about it ... but at that point you are leaving the confines of historical study and venturing into new policy which, in turn, may have its own unintended consequences.
While you may believe that today's Democratic party is using "reverse psychology" on Negro people and Democrats are telling Negro people all things should be free and that burning cities is not punishable by law, you would need to apply CRT to demonstrate and prove your theory. Those messages certainly are not in Democrat literature, nor will you find them anywhere as official policy positions. You would then have to look with a critical eye at history and apply "Critical Race Theory" to events and decisions in history that demonstrate what you say is true or determine how true what you are saying is. It is easy to say, harder to demonstrate through specific example and historical reference.
And you may consider socialism to be the same as slavery, but you may also want to consider that you and almost every person posting on RP at some point gave their lives over to the government. The government fed them, housed them, and paid them; provided free medical care, dental care, and a myriad of other services, not just for the service member but for their extended families. All these expenditures were covered by taxpayer money and put into place through force of law. If that is not socialism, I don't know what is. If a person was ever in the military, they lived in a socialist society. You may consider that to be the same as slavery. I do not. Further, we have decided as a society to put a number of services beyond defense into the hands of the government. Police, firefighting, emergency services, the electric grid, communications, etc. I am not sure which of these you consider the equivalent of slavery, but it is your story, so tell it how you wish.
One note where I see your argument about Negros receiving "free federal money for college", and I am curious if you ever looked into Negro participation in the GI Bill after World War II. The GI Bill is another "socialist" program that built the middle class after WWII, and black people were, by and large, froze out and unable to participate.
Regardless, it all takes application of CRT to look back at history and determine how, when, and why these things occurred or didn't occur. You have a hypothesis - that Democrats are the real racists. And you can defend your hypothesis by repeating the talking points from right-wing organizations (who don't really have a motive to be impartial and unbiased in their assessment), or you can apply aspects of CRT to test your hypothesis and, potentially, prove your hypothesis. Whether you call it CRT is irrelevant and immaterial. If you are looking at history to determine how racism has been promogulated by government policy, the extent of the racism, the intent, etc. You are applying CRT.

PO3 Phyllis Maynard - Nothing to contribute then? I apologize. I thought you wanted to have an actual conversation. Was something not clear?
I understand your argument... Democrat programs promoting welfare and civil liberties for minorities were actually intended to foster a state of dependence on the State. It wasn't a well intended effort to help, but rather a diabolical scheme. Is that your contention?
