    Let's see what other Critical Race Theory lessons are being taught in NYC schools...

    Elite NYC Girls School Shows Students Videos Of White Women ‘Tarred and Feathered’
    https://dailycaller.com/2021/06/15/manhattan-spence-school-megyn-kelly/

    An ex-trustee of Manhattan’s Spence School slammed the institution for reportedly showing students video of white women being “tarred and feathered” in a Tuesday letter obtained by the New York Post.

    “They sat there in their graduation dresses while the white mothers of the white students – many of whom volunteer, donate, call, email, and do whatever the school asks of them – were tarred and feathered in a video their teacher showed them. While their white female teachers were mocked,” ex-trustee Gabriela Baron wrote in a letter to the school, the New York Post reported. Students watched an episode of Ziwe, which “openly derides, humiliates and ridicules white women,” Baron said.

    The video involved a conversation with women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem and 4 white women named Karen, the Post reported.

    Megyn Kelly tweeted out a copy of the letter.

    In the video, host Ziwe Fumudoh asked the audience “what percentage of white people do you hate? And there is a right answer” according to the Post. Fumudoh asked Steinem how many black friends she had, and proceeded to ask if she felt “empowered” after reading the lyrics to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP,” the Post reported.

    To clarify the term ‘Karen’, Ziwe defined it as “obnoxious, angry, and entitled, often racist, white women,” the Post reported.

    Baron responded to the video as “blatantly racist” and that the reaction would be much different if the discussion were about “Asian women, Black women or Hispanic women,” the Post reported. (RELATED: Public School In Virginia Holds ‘Antiracist’ Event For White People Only)

    Baron removed her daughter from Spence and concluded the letter by saying, “Spence needs to do better than this, and I believe that the family of every student in that class is owed an apology from the school. Racism is racism.”

    Critical Race Theory is Rooted in Cultural Marxism

    The message is clear: If you are unfortunate enough to be born with black skin, you are forever a second-class citizen who pays a race penalty. Under this reasoning, the most-affluent blacks rank below the poorest whites when it comes to privilege and opportunities. More than 50 years of affirmative action programs and race consciousness has done nothing to change the trajectory or opportunities of people born without white skin. According to critical theory, every dysfunctional condition in black urban communities can be traced to slavery and its aftermath. There is no place for individual choice initiative.

    “Next to that of the family, there is no influence more potent for good or evil over the lives of individuals than the associations of school days.” David Lipscomb (Lipscomb University co-founder).

    Christian education is in deep trouble when educators adopt the failed theories of the secular world and teach them as superior or equivalent to biblical teachings about how we ought to live our lives as Christ followers.

    What was once a dangerous trend only in Christian universities has seeped down into private Christian academies. This has been done through the introduction of critical race theory into the middle and upper schools. “Woke” white and black teachers fancy themselves social justice warriors.

    Critical race theory is rooted in cultural Marxism; its purpose to divide the world into white oppressors and non-white victims. It uses personal narratives of marginalized minority “victim” groups (black, Hispanic, female, and homosexuals) as irrefutable evidence of the dishonesty of their mostly white heterosexual oppressors.

    When it comes to race, there is no way out. Critical race theory assumes that racism is permanent and affects every aspect of our society to include political, economic, social and religious institutions.

    Being born with white skin is valuable property, and any notion of societal attainment of colorblindness, where race or ethnicity does not hinder opportunities is impossible. Neutrality in law and decision making is a pipe dream that can never be achieved. Therefore, the oppressive system must be dismantled and destroyed.

    This flawed theory of the world suggests that race and ethnicity will always taint and pollute every decision, the result being that racial minorities will consistently lose out to whites because of structural racism.

    Critical race theory can create anger, frustration, and despondency among anyone in the victim categories who internalize the destructive message.

    Messages Matter
    Fortunately, I reached my formative years before critical race theory and cultural Marxism became as commonplace as they are today. Even though I was born and raised in rural southern poverty during the era of segregation, I was not taught to hate white people or to hate America. To the contrary, my black teachers stressed our need to work hard and excel. I was a proud American who never doubted she lived in the greatest country in the world. Sure, I knew about segregation and the Ku Klux Klan, but I also knew change was coming. My black teachers talked about integration and the opportunities it would bring black people.

    Although I dropped out of school after finishing the eighth grade, married at age 16 and had three children by age 20, I nevertheless earned a high school equivalency and eventually five college and university degrees. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia while working a full-time job nights and weekends at Virginia Western Community College where I earned my first degree. I have always valued hard work and the promise of the American Dream.

    When I made my way to college, white teachers and mentors encouraged me to continue my education. They steered me into academia, where I excelled. No one around me encouraged me to see myself as a victim. I never fixated on the fact that I was black, poor, and female in a majority white milieu. I doubt I would have achieved success had I been exposed to the negative messages we send white and black children today. I think it is disgraceful how we teach children to view each other with suspicion and distrust.

    What takes place now in educational settings is a shaming and emasculation of white children, especially boys. Black children are encouraged to identify as victims and to organize themselves into separate racial categories.

    That gives us black student unions and organizations such as Black Lives Matter that insist it is hate speech to argue All Lives Matter.

    It is unfortunate that these negative messages fostering division have not only encompassed university campuses but are now flourishing in K-12 Christian schools. One white student at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville reported to his parents that he was barred from entering the library because the Black Student Union was meeting there.

    Many of the black children who attend private Christian academies are on scholarships paid for by white people, yet the race agenda and harbingers of gloom and doom tell them that white racism is harming them. There can be no grounds for gratitude and forgiveness.

    When I look out on the horizon, I view race relations from the perspective of a black woman who believes in God’s providence and the prospect of racial reconciliation that comes from forgiveness and the application of New Testament principles. It is time for us to rediscover the Golden Rule (to do unto others as you would have them do unto you). I believe this would go a long way toward bringing understanding to people of goodwill regardless of their race or religious background.

    It is important to keep in mind that today’s Americans are not responsible for the sins of generations ago.

    Furthermore, slavery was an institution that blacks, native Americans, and whites participated in as slaveholders. Black slaveholders did not just own family members, some were in the business for profit.

    Religious organizations and the church world are no longer safe. It does not matter whether it is the Church of Christ or the Southern Baptists. Social justice warriors steeped in Marxism have infiltrated and begun the process of dismantling the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). In summer 2019, the SBC passed a resolution endorsing critical race theory and intersectionality as analytical tools for understanding race in America. This is troubling because of the theory’s Marxist roots. Instead of class warfare between workers and owners, Marxism always promises never-ending conflict between victims and oppressors.

    According to the narrative, all white Americans are guilty oppressors who have benefited from membership in a race we know they did not get to choose. Once the oppressor label is accepted and internalized, a deadly silencing and shaming takes place. The shamed oppressor is not allowed to engage in a conversation with accusers. At younger and younger ages, our children are being taught to suck it up. There is nothing to absolve one from collective guilt or permanent victim-hood. How very sad! But it is not too late for us to choose unity over division.

    FOUR WHITE MEN ARRESTED FOR BEATING A BLACK MAN ON WHAT THEY CALLED ‘STOMP A N-WORD NIGHT’
    by Cedric 'BIG CED' Thornton
    May 20, 2021

    https://www.blackenterprise.com/fou...man-on-what-they-called-stomp-a-n-word-night/

    Four white men have been arrested after being accused of beating a Black man at a local bar in Pennsylvania.

    According to The Sharon Herald, four white men have been hit with charges, including conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and reckless endangerment after they were accused of beating a Black man at a local bar in Mercer Country, Pennsylvania.

    The four white men, Thomas L. Boyer II, 48, and Casey Thomas Boyer, 27, both of 245 Byers Road, Harrisville; John Michael Fortuna, 41, of 90 Shenango Park, Lot 64, Pymatuning Township; and Papillon Keeler, 46, of 42 North St., West Middlesex will be facing a preliminary hearing on May 25 on the charges stemming from an attack on a Black man at a Sharon bar.

    The men were charged nearly two weeks ago with ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, riot, and reckless endangerment. Boyer was also charged with robbery after police accused him of stealing the man’s watch.

    EDITED - To stop userque's whining.

    Neither post -- the initial or the response are about Critical Race Theory. There are other threads apparently dedicated to these type of posts -- the 13%s thread, etc.

    However I don't see any value in pointing out individual incidents of crimes (that don't involve a violent mob) and/or bad behavior and trying to claim it represents an entire race -- in fact these type of posts detract from actually trying to come up with a solution to these type of hate-driven issues. Certainly abusing and demeaning children in the classroom due to their race is not a solution.

    Bookmarked for when you make off-topic posts; as we all are well-aware of your propensity to hypocrite.

    Maybe you should reply to the initial, allegedly, "off topic" post; rather than my response to said post.

    My response was on-topic to a post in this thread. Posts don't get to escape being responded-to by purposely being posted in the wrong thread.

    Just like the real police, you ignored the real problem--the initial post--and attacked the obvious non-conservative/minority-supporter.

    Shocking.

    I only noticed the other post when I saw your response. Once again... there are entire threads dedicated to these type of posts that both posts are a better fit in.
