Also, from my perspective, this fight isn't really being taken to Democrats but rather school boards.

Some aspects will be accepted and others won't.

This is shocking. Surely Mansion's race war is a nigh.

And we all know that every white mother will sit still and allow the black Marxist school board to teach her children whatever they like.

Mothers just aren't involved enough in school, I've always said so.

I mean, Fox News is one of the main sources of mainstream coverage of critical race theory, as with political correctness and a bunch of made up stuff before.

I personally don't think it's a big issue because I've pretty much never seen it outside of the context of conservative going to look for things to get mad at. It's never impacted my kids school or laws proposed by my liberal state's legislature. Also, I think conservatives have become fundamentally dishonest with birtherism, election fraud etc so It's easy to lump this in with those things. You should be really mad at birthers etc for ruining the reputation of conservatives because nobody is really taking you guys seriously anymore.

It's hard to get people to care about what a school board is doing if it isn't there own. And most of the time it's hard even then. No surprise this hasn't really caught on as a major national story outside of the right wing looking to get mad bubble.

I would like to meet these Rs/conservatives who are living free of 'race-centered' thinking out in the wild--any suggestions where to start poking around? They seem to have been doing a really good job of hiding so far

IHIV has typically argued there is nothing Jim Crow like or 'systemic in its discrimination' about that since it does not target race specifically and arguable some white and other people will be caught by it.


So the intent, design and outcome do not matter in his view, as long as you do not use 'race' in the definition of it.

Systemic racism has to involve racial discrimination. You and critical race theorist disagree with that. This is why you rationalize that I somehow deny the existence of systemic racism.

So is your position that 'denying Sunday voting' is not systemic racism or racial discrimination since it captures whites and others who want to vote on Sunday too?

The goal of these voting laws is to decrease Democrats from voting. Doesn't matter whether they're white brown or yellow.

Would you say that by trying to reduce Democratic voting regardless of their race that Republicans are living up to Martin Luther King's vision of America?

The problem that we keep running into with the idea that critical race theory is mainstream and every lefty believes it is no one knows what it is and no one knows anyone who's teaching it

In the example i gave the goal is to reduce black voting knowing that will disproportionately impact Dem voting.

It absolutely DOES matter that they are are targeting blacks very specifically unless you are not black and do not care.

Do you deny they are targeting blacks very intentionally to achieve a goal?

And do you agree that targeting and its result, if successful is systemic racism?


(BTW I am surprised you replied at all. I fully expected you to use an excuse to try and avoid and check out knowing you could see you would say an argument you don't want to admit. So my compliments on that.)

By that "thinking" much of Jim Crow wasn't racist either. Literacy tests plus a grandfather clause was simply meant to lower the turnout of people who's grandparents weren't registered voters regardless of race.

Do you think laws that tax professional athletes is another Jim Crow law? Given the demographics of professional athletes?

What laws tax professional athletes?

Answer the question.

Yeah, those targeted taxes sound pretty bad to me. If you had emails from the people who wrote the laws discussing how it would be a good way to generate more taxes from black people or if they wrote in specific grandfather style clauses that exempted many white players (and only white players) from paying it the comparisons to Jim Crow would be obvious.

Are you going to answer my question?

More specifically...

No, I don't agree the laws are targeting black people, specifically. If those folks voted Republican I doubt those laws would exist, which tells me it doesn't really have anything to do with race, but rather political preference.

If I was interested in discussing the voting laws I would have discussing them in that particular thread.

Who cares ?

Anyone who's arguing that JC laws or the current voter suppression bills aren't examples of systemic racism is likely going to argue that the KKK isn't racist too.

According to that Sam Seder clip HIV doesn't know what it is either. He's just passing on the talking points they're giving him.

These laws don't exist if the people they do target, voted Republican, irrespective of their race.

Are we counting tennis golf skateboarders soccer lacrosse and race car drivers and other stragglers etc? Or just the big4?
