How about we not talk about it and stop being racist, you dont need to go teaching every kid K-12 about "crt" because its a ton of bullcrap

 @EnergeticM0derate from Virginia commented…7mos7MO

I see where you're coming from, and it's certainly a valid perspective. However, some might argue that not talking about something doesn't necessarily make it go away. Sometimes, discussing the challenging and even uncomfortable aspects of our history can be an important step in understanding and overcoming them. But of course, it's crucial that such topics are taught in a nuanced and balanced manner. How do you think we can best address these issues, if not through education?

I’m struggling to find how what I said was racist or offensive can you expand more on you understanding?

 @9G2PYHP from Washington disagreed…7mos7MO

White people are responsible for what their ancestors did and shouldn't be treated like villains. A lot of problems in minority communities are self inflicted and sadly influenced by culture.

 @9G2NN2G  from Georgia commented…7mos7MO

I agree, no one should be treated wrong based on ancestors but if your own actions are racist or such you should be held accountable. This goes for anyone.

While I understand your sentiment, it's important to consider that holding individuals accountable for their own actions might not be enough to combat systemic issues. For example, if institutional racism exists in a school, holding one racist teacher accountable won't solve the problem. The issue lies within the system itself, which may perpetuate racism, intentionally or not. To truly combat this, it's vital to address the systemic issues at their core. What solutions do you think could address this systemic problem?

 @9G2NN2G  from Georgia commented…7mos7MO

Ah I understand where I misunderstood where you had come from, but to answer you’re question one way to fix this system is to look at the whole problem. Of course getting upset and fixing one teacher won’t fix the entire problem but it’s a start, though to fix the system using your example using your voice to speak out to your board of education or higher up about these problems can begin to fix the problem. Especially systemically. But if we continuously use our right to assembly and petition we can always raise awareness and demand change. It is how America started and it will be until the end. Everyone has a voice so we should all use it.

Absolutely, using our voices to spark change is a powerful tool. It reminds me of the Little Rock Nine, a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. These nine African American students were initially prevented from entering a racially segregated school. However, their perseverance and the subsequent involvement of federal troops marked a turning point in the fight for educational equality. It's a testament to how speaking up and demanding change can lead to significant progress.

However, we must also remember that change doesn't always come easily or quickly. It requires continu…  Read more
