Law Tennessee's anti-critical race theory law has its first complaint filed.

Your analogy game needs some serious work. What the hell is this?


Another whacked analogy.

First of all, he's not a guy, he's the guy.

The fight for equal rights is not predicated on a lie. People deserve equal rights. The fight against CRT is. CRT is just a nefarious sounding term he admits he's deliberating misusing. Some more of his quotes:

"We’ve needed new language for these issues, ‘Political correctness’ is a dated term and, more importantly, doesn’t apply anymore...The other frames are wrong, too: ‘cancel culture’ is a vacuous term and doesn’t translate into a political program; ‘woke’ is a good epithet, but it’s too broad, too terminal, too easily brushed aside. ‘Critical race theory’ is the perfect villain,”

"Its connotations are all negative to most middle-class Americans, including racial minorities, who see the world as ‘creative’ rather than ‘critical,’ ‘individual’ rather than ‘racial,’ ‘practical’ rather than ‘theoretical.’ Strung together, the phrase ‘critical race theory’ connotes hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American.”

I love how your post is full of nothing, yet you think you make a point. Do you deny radical racial agenda have been pushed in US schools under the guise of crt?

Also my analogies are based on yours, so if you think mine are bad, you need to take a good long look in the mirror.

Not only that, he's completely open that he's fucking bamboozling people. He says it right in those tweets what his MO is.

You took the tweets out of context and are either confused or lying (there aren't really any other options).

He's not suggesting that him or James Lindsay lie in that conversation. The suggestion is that once revealed for what it is, CRT turns people off.
What he is alluding to when speaking of annexing "the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans" under the CRT label is the fact that a great many modern social justice narratives have clear roots in CRT literature which has been popular with educators since at least the 90s. As a result of that popularity, CRT has exerted a great deal of mainstream influence far beyond the lecture halls in which it was originally almost exclusively taught.
And that's why he talks of decodifying and recodifying it - in order for its influence to be identified, the underling principles and language must understood.

This confuses people, because idiots are running around looking for classes that openly speaking about teaching critical race theory.

The original conversation that Tweet came from started with him saying to Lindsay that people are realising that once put into practice, CRT is unpopular. Don't copy-paste images of tweets you haven't read.

The people complaining in the OP sound like they also don't understand what CRT is, and would have their complaint thrown out if it had made it to any authorities.

Bullshit. If a great many modern social justice narratives have clear roots in CRT literature he could work on showing they have clear roots in CRT literature, and why that's bad. But that's not what he's doing.

If it was already a part of CRT, it wouldn't need to be "annexed." You know what that word means? The United States didn't annex territories into it because they were already a part of it. They had to annex them because they weren't.

The goal isn't to edify. He wants chuds to be Pavlovian. "The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think "critical race theory."

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

Well shoot, moms for liberty is wrong so I guess we should just go back to letting them teach kids that they should feel guilty or oppressed based solely on the color of their skin.

 

[Tentacle Grape]

Imagine having dinner with your buddies and their wives and one tells you that she is active in a group called "Mom's for Liberty"

as opposed to BLM or Antifa?

no idea what you are crying about or what you are pulling out of your ass.

seems like some group complained about something not bad and somehow your brain associates it to this guy and kind of trying to say there is nothing bad being taught by crt at all which ONLY A DUMB SHIT WOULD BELIEVE.

 

[Bobby 3 Sticks]

The only book that should be banned is of mice and men

Why? I think you need to re-read it with an open mind

 

[Tairy Hesticles]

as opposed to BLM or Antifa?

Did anybody say that? Do I have to support BLM or Antifa to laugh at dipshit LARPing wine moms?

So to sum things up, TS believes CRT is good and russiagate is real.

 

[Confucamus]

The awareness around the dangers of CRT are a good thing. The Leftist counter to this is to say people don't want the history of slavery taught in schools, which is silly. The history of slavery and Civil Rights are very much taught in school. That part of the country's history should never be forgotten.

 

[Darkballs]

The history of slavery and Civil Rights are very much taught in school. That part of the country's history should never be forgotten.

This very article details attempts by a conservative action group to outlaw a book on the very subject you say should be taught.

Define CRT

 

[Seano]

Could be a good thing. Conservatives like Roger Stone and Falwell Jr, like watching dudes plow their wives. Could lead to after dinner fun.

Lay off the porn. Real life isn't like pornhub.

 

[Gunny]

CRT has been around for decades, but plug it into Google Trends. Interest only exploded in March of 2021.

Because the guy in the OP made it so. Not only that, he's completely open that he's fucking bamboozling people. He says it right in those tweets what his MO is.

You said “but plug”

 

[milkmandanl]

If that's truly the issue, then those people are morons. We learned about all of those things in my day and it was never suggested that all whites are racist because of it.

Mark Essex went on a racist attack and shot quite a few people in New Orleans…we watched it unfold on the TV while in 5th grade.

 

[Zazen]

The trending searches on google for this shit always crack me up. Potato head, Dr. Seuss, CRT, and so on. Shit is popular for a few months then onto the next flavor of the month. Compare that to real issues like healthcare and climate change which have always been core concerns for many. It’s sad that people fall for this crap.

 

[nostradumbass]

Uh oh, better have moderate Merrick Garland put them on a terror watch list for complaining about a race-centric curriculum for 2nd graders.

7 year olds don't study history and can barely read, and for some reason the first dozen books they're given are all books about segregation?

 

[Confucamus]

I don't support that idea at all.

I heard from some progressives on twitter how they are going even far that CRT isn't even real nor being taught in schools.

do you think it’s fair to say that those administrators and educators who say “we’re not reaching CTR,” are still teaching and advocating for it under euphemisms?
