CRT doesn't do that.
It’s news to me that China was Communist in the 19th century and early 20th century.CRT doesn't do that.
CRT is a Marxist take on American history. The goal is to classify and group people into "oppressors" and "oppressed", thereby pitting everyone against each other and make people feel bad. No different what they did in Communist China and late 19th and early 20th century.
Sorry, that was a mistake. I meant to "No different what they did in Cojmmunist China and in Russia in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
I don't feel guilt about my ignorance. I feel frustrated that in my ~20 years or whatever of schooling I had that I was never taught about the Tulsa Massacre or the significance of June 19th.
Yep, that is absolutely the reason. We can do better going forward, but this "look at me and how broken up I am over it." for virtue points is crazy.
I was taught how to ####### square dance.* So, yes, I am frustrated that I wasn't instead taught about these significant events. As such, while I am not losing any sleep over it and agree with you in principle that the best fix is to add it to the curriculum, frustration probably best describes my feeling on it. That or embarassment.
Yom Kippur is a religious holiday for a religion in a country across the globe. Juneteenth and the Tulsa Massacre were significant hisrotical events in the country I grew up in. I don't equate the two.
Huh? The thread is about these issues. I would say the same about other significant historical events that I could learn from.
These aren't mere black issues. These are actual, real historical events of importance.
Jews really haven’t suffered very much in the United States. A few bad instances of anti-semitism but nothing worth the history books.
the actual elimination happened in the 20's. The demonization started in the late, late 1800's. what happened in the 20's was the result of that.
Not the point. Point is there is no need to act wounded because you didn't learn this. Its silly
What? This is nonsense. The demonization started in 1925. The Soviet Union wasn’t created until 1917, and Stalin, who started the demonization, didn’t take power until 1924. The term “Kulak” wasn’t even created until 1903.
I was talking about the Kulaks so way to take something I didn't say, attribute it to me and then blame me for "saying" it which put you in "outrage" mode. Now it's all my fault you're fake outraged over something you invented but are blaming me for. I'm sure you'll get some virtue points out of this.
You’re the one that brought up the Kulaks and wrote “no difference.” Sure sounds like a comparison to me. But whatever. I’m not outraged about it, just find it grotesque. Your posts are unable to outrage me.
Where did I write "no difference"? What in Gods name are you inventing? Now you're just making stuff up. Stop it already.
Can you name the names of these people? I genuinely didn't know that there was a specified author of the CRT.
This is where you wrote “no different”CRT doesn't do that.

Actually I love US history and read a lot about it. I am also a member of SABR in the historical part. My brother is a history/civics teacher also. We can all agree that Tulsa and Wilmington were bad, but that isn’t affecting our day to day life today. We learn and grow from it and not repeat those same actions, right? If I have a bad sales day today, should I tell my boss it was because the immigrant Italians were treated like crap in the 1800’s?
Well, technically it ended in 1900.timschochet said:
Isn't the point we didn't learn about these things in history...and we should have...and going forward it should be taught? Not sure what that has to do with moving forward or an example with your boss.
You really seem to be saying why do we keep talking about history at the same time as saying we learn about and grow from it.
Because we are supposed to be shamed for not knowing this and partially why blacks cannot get ahead.
Who is trying to shame you...who in this thread is saying anything like this post?
No one is shame ME, they (starting with the media)shame everyone who doesn’t agree with the stance.
I'm not sure that's what he's saying I think the point is there should really be no need to be "Shocked" or "ashamed" because you were not taught this. Yes, there are always opportunities to learn more about our history. But let's stop with this silliness and virtue signaling about how shocked you are.
