i love when people have no response so they fall back to ol' faithful, tone policing
Dude you started it by wanting to insult and call people names, so don't get your unwashed pantie in a bunch when people throw insults back at you. If you wanna debate fine, if you wanna just name call, it'll happen too.

my god if stupidity can get you banned half of you would have been months ago, speaking of stupid Tucker carlton is a bloody hack job with his anti vaxxing rhetoric luckly it's probably their base (mainly republican) would believe it and probably die of covid 19 GOOD RIDANCE to racist trash
And you'd be the first one banned racist trash.

This very statement shows the guy has no fucking clue what he is talking about.

"Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s."


CRT actually originated in the mid-1970s as can be seen in the writings of several American legal scholars from that time including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams. And a few more.

You don't seem to remember the economic decline under the former administration, the fact the former administration and the Republicans passed very little with regard to economic recovery and didn't care to do more, the economic boom that immediately followed the Democratic bill, and the fact that some of the Biden recovery plan hasn't been fully implemented yet (child tax credit, etc.).

The low April numbers (which are still positive, by the way) only demonstrate the need to do more. They definitely don't mean to end something as economically stimulating as unemployment benefits. That would be like reacting to a severed foot by cutting off the other one.

Here is some good research on the roots, current state, and future of critical race theory >>> https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/critical-race-theory-fight/

Let's talk about the article shared by @tthousand
Here is the part that tells the reader what CRT is, it will be spoiler texted to not flood the page

Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs, and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks, and school curricula.

There are a series of euphemisms deployed by its supporters to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.” Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality. But the distinction is vast and important. Indeed, equality—the principle proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, defended in the Civil War, and codified into law with the 14th and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—is explicitly rejected by critical race theorists. To them, equality represents “mere nondiscrimination” and provides “camouflage” for white supremacy, patriarchy, and oppression.

In contrast to equality, equity as defined and promoted by critical race theorists is little more than reformulated Marxism. In the name of equity, UCLA Law Professor and critical race theorist Cheryl Harris has proposed suspending private property rights, seizing land and wealth and redistributing them along racial lines. Critical race guru Ibram X. Kendi, who directs the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, has proposed the creation of a federal Department of Antiracism. This department would be independent of (i.e., unaccountable to) the elected branches of government, and would have the power to nullify, veto, or abolish any law at any level of government and curtail the speech of political leaders and others who are deemed insufficiently “antiracist.”

One practical result of the creation of such a department would be the overthrow of capitalism, since according to Kendi, “In order to truly be antiracist, you also have to truly be anti-capitalist.” In other words, identity is the means and Marxism is the end.

An equity-based form of government would mean the end not only of private property, but also of individual rights, equality under the law, federalism, and freedom of speech. These would be replaced by race-based redistribution of wealth, group-based rights, active discrimination, and omnipotent bureaucratic authority. Historically, the accusation of “anti-Americanism” has been overused. But in this case, it’s not a matter of interpretation—critical race theory prescribes a revolutionary program that would overturn the principles of the Declaration and destroy the remaining structure of the Constitution.

Paragraph 1: CRT was made in the 90s and it is Identity-Based Marxism. It was a fringe concept, but recently it has become the premier ideological doctrine in public institutions. It appears through "Don't be racist" programs.
  • it wasn't made in the 90s
  • identity-based marxism is word salad that is not even a thing
  • crt concepts have been used as the basis for training related to not being a racist. not being a racist is good.
Paragraph 2: CRT is referred to by nomenclature that is popular to avoid admitting that it is actually Neo-Marxism. Actually, when people say equality, they mean to create a society based in bigotry!
  • no, idiot. crt is a race theorum, it's in the fucking name, marxism is about economics and class divides
  • when we say equality, we don't mean the exact opposite of it, stupid
Paragraph 3/4: Equality actually means Marxism! Some people who are proponents of CRT have called for radically left-wing policies, so therefore the concept of CRT as a whole is actually a front for the overthrow of capitalism through the creation of a shadow government!
  • i'm impressed you are able to appear so alive when you don't have a brain
Paragraph 5: A hypothetical equity-based government could completely rewrite American society into an authoritarian government, which is bad! Therefore, CRT is bad!
  • annnnnd you've successfully said "1+1=2, therefore 1=2!
  • dumbass

This all reminds me of when Republicans tried blaming Obama for the recession, despite spurring the recovery.

So Biden is like republican blaming Obama
After the recession, Republicans blamed Obama for the job losses that occured before the stimulus, and the slow job growth months that happened from time to time, despite the recession not happening under Obama.

You're blaming Biden for an economic downturn that happened under his predecessor's watch. Jobless claims skyrocketed, the initial relief bill added jobs, and then job increases slowed until actually going back into the negatives. Under Biden and the Democratic members of Congress passed their much-needed relief bill, and job additions went up again. Yes, April saw a slowdown, but it's still an increase, we don't know what the long-term trend is, it demonstrably would have been worse without the Democratic relief bill, and the April numbers are evidence for more stimulus, not less.

Even if we look at it from a moral standpoint and not an economic one, you're advocating for taking away jobless benefits when there are fewer jobs being added, lol.

The previous administration saw the LOWEST jobless numbers and welfare cases in decades. The only reason those numbers jumped back up is because of COVID. That, and Democrats refused to approve stimulus that ONLY applied to the American people. The latest stimulus package has a whopping grand total of 9% going towards actual COVID relief.

The "fact checker's" version, still shows more than 15% that doesn't have anything to do with COVID, While other things counted towards the COVID side: "However, there are quite a few economic provisions in the bill that could potentially be considered “COVID-related” as well".

Potentially. lol. Even 15% of the 1.9 Trillion dollar package... is a lot of goddamn money. Your whole life is a lie.
