35 Fascinating Historical Pictures That Might Teach You Something New About Our World

Zara VP: We are all waiting for you to enlighten ChickyChicky and the rest of us!

If CRT is a lens used only in college, why the angst over it being banned in lower grades? And if someone wishes to teach "Black issues" through a Marxist dialectical lens, why the pushback when someone points out the dialectic? (Or run for the hills and claim it's only taught in college?)

@Vidas Zlioba- The angst over CRT is Knowledge is Power. See my reply to Cold Steel Ronin.

I never once claimed to be an expert on this topic, and I'm not interested in engaging in a back-and-forth argument—it just doesn't accomplish anything. I could tell you to 'do your own research,' but the problem with Google is that it tends to surface information that aligns with your existing beliefs, rather than offering unbiased or balanced perspectives. Anyways, this isn't even your comment thread to begin with, so perhaps take a step back and take a deep breath.

Imagine thinking that people are okay with having their horrible behavior on full blast. That is indeed one of the reasons people don't want this stuff getting out. You are in complete denial if you think otherwise. Covering stuff up, or out right denying stuff that has happened throughout history is something that has been going on for forever. You denying it just makes it worse.

@ChickyChicky 1) I've never seen a history book that says black slaves were happy and well cared for, please cite. 2) The Civil War was about states rights to govern themselves as they saw fit but they had a warped view. 3) Black history is integral to American history and should be taught as such and not acknowledged just one month out of the year. 4) CRT is racism. Placing anyone above or below another based on ethnicity or skin color, etc. is racist.

@ColdSteelRonin Have you been paying attention to what has been going on in Florida and the editing of the history to reflect that slavery wasn't t that bad for slaves. Even going as far as saying some benefited from slavery due to the skills they learned. As of the slaves had a choice. They are even going as far as blaming the race riots of 1906, 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1923 on Black people, totally obscuring the actual facts. CRT is not racism. Our country has a messed up history due to the superiority complex of some and the laws, systems, and the basic foundation of our country reflects that. Knowing and.understanding the truth isn't a bad thing. History isn't always kind, just ask every race that has endured some type of Immoral captivity in the US. They fought hard to prevent people from leaning how twisted our systems-legal, education, healthcare, judicial, housing, etc really are. People do not benefit equally. Learning that is not racist. CRT is history. History is not always rainbows and flowers. Learning it keeps one from repeating it. Also, what you may think is CRT is not. Teaching about mere racism has been done for eons. That is not CRT.

Actually they broke away and formed the "Dixiecrats" that believed in "traditional states rights" and segregation. Of the 1500+ racist “Dixiecrats” only Strom Thurmond and about a dozen others left the Democratic Party for the GOP (less than 1%). Furthermore Thurmond didn't switch parties until 16 years later.

By the 90s all southern states were Republican. The fact is, in this day and age, one party likes to honor the Confederate flag and Confederate statues, and the other doesn't. Now if you want to talk about "white flight" and how schools are more segregated now than they were then due to polite liberals keeping their kids in "good school districts", we can talk about that. But to say that the Democratic party of today has anything to do with the people screaming at this young woman, is disingenious and holds no historical context. My grandpa was a Democrat when he was younger. Fox News and Rush Limbaugh became his best friends, and before he died, he said he'd shoot all the gays if he could. And by then he was a proud Republican.

"Left them behind?" You would think Democrats would be inspired by the Democrat Senators who filibustered it for weeks.

Nick Fuentes endorsed Kamala Harris. (I'll be able to tell how much that fact stings you when I get downvoted).
