Do I think we have come a long way already. Yes.

Yet you champion CRT on this board which is the focus of Maher's criticism in this piece. Maher believes CRT is racist itself. He highlights CRT's rejection of Martin Luther King's teachings and its' support for the return of segregation.

As for Trump you are preaching to the choir with me.

I can be a fan and not agree with every single thing he says. Im also not championing anything. What I have stated more than once is what it was intended to be and what the right has twisted it into are two different things. And saying it rejects MLK, and supports segregation is quite a way to decipher it. I think the biggest problem with CRT is all the far right politicians like Ron fucking Johnson who are trying to deflect racism to the left by using CRT is …..wait for it …. they don’t understand CRT.

People were criticizing CRT for the reasons stated by Maher, before the Trumpsters noticed it (Which unfortunately activated Trump anti-bodies causing people to support something they otherwise wouldn't).

And yes it does explicitly reject a color blind society (MLKs dream). CRT is very clear that a person should be judged on the color of their skin not the content of their character (the exact opposite of what MLK envisioned). And there are numerous examples of graduations and other events being segregated in the name of CRT (even at least one proposed establishment of a community as well).

A color blind society is obviously the end game, but since that is unattainable there has to be a plan B that will eventually take us there. That leaves the plan vulnerable to interpretation and you get versions that fit people’s narratives. It does not change the intention though.

Trump antibodies is hilarious btw. Never heard that one so I will give you credit for it. Lol.

If G1 laughs at this, I'll vote for Biden in 2024. That's a lie. But I won't for a republican candidate.

Lol. I have nothing against republicans and it wouldn’t bother me in the least. I have problems with certain candidates. Based on the road the republican party is on right now i will most likely have a problem with their candidate in 2024. So I will remember this and hire a PI to tail you during elections.
