Did you watch the MLK video? It’s only 2-3 minutes. MLK says a number of things that are quite consistent with CRT, but McCarthy claims CRT goes against everything MLK told us. He’s flatly wrong, which is obvious if you watch the video.

Apparently, McCarthy (and many others) believe the only thing MLK ever said was “Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” If that’s all he ever said, whites wouldn’t have assassinated him. He was asking for jobs to be given to black people and asking for boycotts of businesses that didn’t do so. Telling black people to take their money out of white-run banks. You know, all the stuff right-wingers cry about if BLM does it. 

Parading out the “I love MLK” shtick while going against the exact things he advocated for is really old.

Of course it's consistent - it's all commie slop.

I think they should fabricate collusion against Biden and then waste time and money trying to force people to believe lies instead.....that was so much fun.....

Loudon County Virginia, the epicenter of the CRT fight, is a blue county in a blue state. MDC- muh, republicans. I wonder why he doesn’t apply the same standard for CRT as he did for the singing of the NA on Long Island? Because he’s simple. And his troll game is so weak.

Did MLK say that all white people are inherently racist? Didn’t hear that. Is it in another speech?? Link? Thanks. 

Yeah, and CRT doesn’t say that either. Again with the bogeyman. You’ve turned CRT into Godzilla and blame it for everything. You attribute a bunch of stuff to CRT that isn’t what it’s about at all.

It is a philosophical theory used strictly as a lens for research. Everything else is right-wing hype.

Did MLK say looting is reparations? BLM has. Typical libs, cherry picking away. Did MLK say the nuclear family should be abolished? BLM has.  And can I get MLK’s views on abortion? Thanks. 

Zzz… millions of people participated in BLM marches. You love to pick the statements of 1 or 2 radical people who were there.

And WTF abortion? You’ve gone off the deep end with blaming CRT and/or BLM and/or anti-racism for everything.

You’re comparing your imagined versions of CRT with your imagined versions of MLK and somehow find them in opposition with each other.

You like MLK so much?

Quick quiz: MLK did or did not advocate for billions of dollars to be given specifically to black people by the government?

I knew you could find another bogeyman. Again. The right-wing versions of CRT and anti-racism say whatever right-wing bloggers/TV personalities want them to say. Clutch those pearls tighter. “All white people are racist” is not a belief of CRT or anti-racism or really anybody in the world (ok there might be a couple crazies out there that believe it). It’s a straw man version of something far more complex and nuanced stood up for right-wing mental weaklings to attack.

You're not finding it because you don't want to. LEFT WING sources of anti racism info contain all the language that people think are in CRT.  No right wing bogeyman there.

What books have you read on anti-racism or CRT? If none, where did you get your info from? PragerU? Out-of-context quotes on right-wing rags? GOP Twitter accounts? Fox News?

CRT has been around for decades, but suddenly it became “dangerous” in 2021. Can’t you see it’s just the latest thing the GOP wants you to get mad about?

There are actual problems in the world. CRT isn’t one of them.

Please stop saying CRT.  You and I both agree this isn't what it is.  I wish the OP would change the title.  

I gave this example the other day, right from the Natl Museum of AA History(a historical right wing rag, I know).  It says it right there, white people have privilege and internalized racism.  There's no qualifiers like "some white people" or "alt right".  It says "white people", all of us.  Again, lefty sources are all you have to dig into to find it.  I don't give two sh!ts what FOX or Newsmax think CRT is.

Being antiracist is different for white people than it is for people of color. For white people, being antiracist evolves with their racial identity development. They must acknowledge and understand their privilege, work to change their internalized racism, and interrupt racism when they see it.

This is very childish.

I saw much of this when Trump was around.  Trump acted like an a$$hole, and then the Trump haters acted liked a$$holes and said that if the president acts that way, then they can too.

Now the left is acting like a$$holes, and the right is saying "well they started it" and doing the same sh1t.

People can't just be better.

I have to agree,  We cannot be better if we lower ourselves to the childish antics of the left.  The grown ups (conservatives) have to be better. 

That should not preclude us from pointing out the hypocrisy of the left where ever possible as part of being the grown ups in the room.

The book “not my idea” is being taught in some schools. That’s not anti-white at all.  Eye roll.

Yes, that would be something worth worrying about. We have to go back to the 80s for the last time anything substantial was done to address the issue. Climate change (wildfires), China, COVID cases going up again, crumbling infrastructure, Israel/Palestine conflict, and others come to mind as well.

Those Anti-CRT laws are gonna fix that for sure. If not them, then the new voting restrictions probably will do it.

Did the guy cutting your neighbor’s lawn do something to hurt you? If the only time you see him is when the lawnmower is running, how do you even know what language he speaks? Do you yell to each other in different languages over the sound of the lawnmower? Why do you even care what language this guy speaks?

Again with the non-problems in the world...

I asked him to move the truck once. No speaky English. And his presence is a problem. He undercuts American workers costing them jobs.
