@@kfleming78 there is no forced integration into the U.S.. We have people fleeing terrible countries that we helped make terrible in the 1980's. Look it up. The CIA even admitted a few years ago to helping the cartels in South and Central America to bring drugs across the border. In exchange for the cartels fighting communist guerillas. We helped the military juntas come to power which led to massive executions and violence against the people in those countries. Many come here to escape the killers the US armed and trained at Fort Benning. Read about the School of the Americas and realize how many of the immigrants are fleeing countries we helped to destroy.

Next they'll be saying being sent to a Holocaust Museum to learn why comparing other things to the Holocaust is offensive, is just like the Holocaust.
Learning about slavery and racism never made me hate myself, all it did was make me want to build a better world where such things never happen again.
100% agree ! đđ»
If you don't learn from your mistakes, you are bound to repeat them again and again and again.
Whoa, whoa, _WHOA!_ ... This is _not_ the time or place for your "reason" and "rationality." Leave 'em at the door, bucko! Only American flags and freedom are allowed in here!
Exactly! I hate all the things America has done to my race with a perfect hatred. True that. Yet, at no time of me learning about it have I ever hated all white people for it. That's just stupid to me. I take it as an example of the potential depravity of human nature which is inherent in each and every one of us, just like I take the examples of good deeds. The people who committed those atrocities are absolutely guilty and accountable in my honest assessment, but that doesn't make me want to hate anyone. The less hate I have in my heart, the better off I am. Its healthier for me physically and mentally so I will just leave to hating to the wild animals that only seek their own satisfaction absolutely 100% of the time, regardless of whether or not they have to rip the flesh and crush the bones of their own young in their rotten mouths to achieve it.
And that's why they don't want you to learn it!
Can't we call Michael Savage by his real name, which is Michael Weiner? Anyone who changes their last name to "Savage" to avoid the last name "Weiner" is basically begging to be mocked.
Lord! Hahaha. No wonder he came off to me like he was compensating for a lot of issues.

Less than 1% of Republicans even know what CRT is
It's much less than 1%... 1% of a mil is still 10,000. And I don't believe 10k Repubs know what it is exactly.
I don't think it is even .001% but it is simply enough to just ask its creator, she is a professor who use it as essentially brainstorming for her PHD grad students.
It seems none of them know what it is, they never describe it only criticize it.
@@donnellynell They are too stupid to know what CRT is
not a republican, and certainly not a leftist, but I've read a great deal of CRT from the actual sources. When I explain the tenets of CRT to leftists - as they are directly stated in the texts therein - they deny these tenets and say they're something else.
almost 100% of the time.
note that I haven't just started to read up on CRT recently. I've been studying the concept(s) for at least 10 years.
To people who have previously been in privileged positions, equality can seem like oppression.

"In order to realize Dr. King's dream of the races being treated equally we have to make sure that schools don't teach anything about Dr. King"
CRT is not about teaching King's history, it is about seeing everything through oppression lentils, and dismissing personal experiences and individuality to the profit of group identity.
How does everything come back to the holocaust? WTF????
Because it's an immediate emotional reaction. For shallow people, it negates any critical thought. The irony being, these people are, at heart with far right, White Supremacist, and Q-Anon, deeply anti-Semitic.
It's weird, right? It's not like the Holocaust was the only genocide committed in the past century (Cambodia, Rwanda, Bangladesh, etc.), yet they keep coming back to it. And the fact that they even compare anything to brutal genocide is gross.
Because Republicans have a victim complex in which they project everything they believe in or want to do onto the other side.
@@owlishgamer2937 devils punch bowl as well. Thereâs also the Herero and namaqua massacre. They only bring up the Holocaust because it is one of the worst in terms of number.
@@marquisemoore1226
The Holocaust is mentioned so often because it was unique among genocides because of the industrial, production line nature of the killing, and because the perps were a modern, âculturedâ/âcivilisedâ nation.
Itâs not just about the numbers.
When you can tell none of these clowns have seen Schindler's list.
And Schindler's List is just a small aspect of the history of the Holocaust.
They thought it was a comedy
No it's not fiction. It's none fiction. It actually happened. I find that pretty offensive. Do your research from reputable sources.
KillerMike- â Critical Race Theory is simply the truthâ
CRT is a dogmatic ideology. Calling that the truth is ridiculous.
@@FatherManus cope
It IS the truth. And it's not limited to African-Americans. Native Americans, Asian-Americans are also victims of systemic racism. White people brutalized and mistreated those people over centuries as well.
@@FatherManus what part do you disagree with?
@@FatherManus lol wtf are you talking about
Critical race theory isn't taught in elementary school unless they are in a Mensa school which only teaches the law. It is about the study of how laws effect people of all colors especially those of color. This theory is taught/discussed in law schools and unless your parents or anyone in your family has ever been a president, vice president, senator or anyone who has enacted a law it has nothing to do with you or your family. Someone needs to go on these shows and explain it in it's bases form so they get it.
Are you sure about that? This is from Delgado and Stefancic, two of the foremost CRT scholars: "Although CRT began as a movement in the law, it has rapidly spread beyond that discipline. Today, many in the field of education consider themselves critical race theorists who use CRTâs ideas to understand issues of school discipline and hierarchy, tracking, controversies over curriculum and history, and IQ and achievement testing."

Yours seems to be the new tack in trying to prove the purity of fundamentally changing how race relations are taught in schools, away from what could be considered a flawed liberal "neutral" position, towards an even more flawed activist approach based on the Critical Theory that has gained huge traction over the last few decades and is now entering the mainstream with seemingly unstoppable force.
I suggest reading Cynical Theories by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose to gain a full understanding of Critical Theory in its many guises and the threat it poses to the liberal progress that has been made over the last fifty years or so on race/gender etc relations without tearing the society apart (to give just one example Alan Turing one of the fathers of the computer was chemically castrated by the British Government in 1952 and then a public apology was made by Gordon Brown in 2009). The book's central argument, and mine, is that Critical Justice Theory is illiberal and in places unscientific, and that if we keep following the beliefs and methods of Critical Theorists and those influenced by Critical Theorists then we will end up living not in the better world that those mostly on the left think they are beckoning in (I was a leftist until wokeness reared its head and showed me that the left's authoritarian streak isn't just something from the history books, and I'd now call myself a liberal, or a social democrat), but in a more authoritarian world where people are afraid to speak their mind for fear of the thought police effectively "cancelling" them and where equality of opportunity becomes equality of outcome.
Just to give one example of what this new world could look like consider the videos of BLM activists marching through the streets with the noble goal of having people acknowledge that black lives matter. Then witness some of them threaten and bully those who won't raise a fist in solidarity, assuming that by not raising a fist or bending a knee those people are proving themselves contemptible racists, when in fact they are almost certainly nothing of the sort. But under Critical Theory they are racist because (using the most popular Critical Justice Theory books) White Fragility says that's the expected reaction of a non-ally and How to be an Antiracist tells us that you can only be one or the other in your actions (so by default not raising a fist or bending a knee makes you a racist, at least in the eyes of those who have swallowed this binary way of thinking hook, line and sinker).
I totally agree. I would agree with David if he said he is concerned about how it would be taught. I can see it being taught in High School. How you teach it and you present the context is the factor that will make the difference. Sorry about my bad writing earlier. I was at work.

@@formulaic78 You are conflating teaching it with applying it. Yes people educated in college will often use that knowledge in their careers but no one is teaching cry in middle schools.
we dont need CRT we need to teach real history without sugar coating the horrendous shit this country has done in the past, and present.
It is time to face reality to all these flag waving fools. They live in an imaginary world that if they go down deep enough, they will eventually be all dead or slaves.
I don't think CRT and teaching real history without sugarcoating the horrendous shit done in this country are at all mutually exclusive. Shit... they're quite interlinked from what I know of the two. đ€š
What are you saying? Do you have a grasp of what was proposed in the early 70's. As to why civil rights equality were not being experienced by non-whites.
You really need to read some more.
I think that is a wrong way to look at it. History should be taught like a story of progress with time. Teaching people that
1) Slavery wasn't because the Europeans thought that black people were "dim". It started of as a Capitalist venture in which the plantation owners wanted free labour, so they went to Africa and started conning people into getting on ships for job opportunities - this is how Slavery in Saudi and Qatar works too.
2) The racist attributes given to black people, like servility, not being smart to do things on their own, which also found itself in the Confederate Constitution, was done later on through generations, when the only purpose of black people according to them was to be slaves, and that only their plantation masters can guide them - and the plantation owners were mainly white and Jewish in the US - it is a fact which needs to be told sensitively. Plus, the Caribbean islands had some black and brown slave owners too - more indicative of the fact that it was all about money.
3) Then, knowledge that Civil war was fought because the South wanted to protect its "civil right" to own slaves. Somehow, people are taught that it was only to protect civil rights - which is such a watering down of the real problem.
4) Laws enacted from that point on, that still ended up causing black people to be treated as second class citizens (leading to movements by Parks and King).
5) The various massacres that have been performed, plus prejudices against a black man getting into legislatures.
6) And not generalizing it to everyone. Those were different times. Progress has been made. It is just that more progress needs to be made. Without demonizing any other race.
7) Some factoids like George Washington freeing up his slaves and declaring them as free men - at least he came to a realization in his life.
Unfortunately, the problem is that the extreme "woke" people have started going down the same right-wing Fascist ideology of my way or the highway, making them no different to the modern day GOP. And that is scary in its own right.
@jon pork care to explain what? Or just slander and walk away?
no one is telling kids their color makes them bad.
The problem is that we can't even have a discussion about the actual theory, because the right is using the name "Critical Race Theory" as an umbrella term for any discussion of this country's history of institutionalized racism and the lingering consequences of it. In other words, when you or I are talking about CRT, we are talking about a relatively well defined academic theory. When the right talks about CRT, they are talking about any honest discussion of the history of racism in this country and the contemporary consequences of that history. In short, they don't want America's actual history to be taught, because they correctly believe that ignorance benefits their side politically.
It is a theory that challenges the white supremacist theory that anything bad that happens to black people is their own fault.
You question that notion and white people will lose their shlt!!!!
He studied history, but doesn't want other aspects of history to be brought to light. Sorta like burning books don't ya think?
The critical theory is not even history, they are just ideas for which PHD students can use to start their brainstorming. None of these people have read a damn thing or talked to the creator of it. She has repeatedly said that it is nothing close to what people are calling it, it wasn't even meant to be a study guide, it was just for brainstorming for her students.
Since we're talking about comparing things to the Holocaust perhaps we can stop comparing things to book burning too.. just an idea
CRT is not about teaching history or fighting for equality, it is about seeing everything through oppression lentils, and dismissing personal experiences and individuality to the profit of group identity. It is a dangerous and a very inaccurate tool to navigate in today's world

As far as teaching race relations go, just teach history and let the kids think for themselves.
Seems logical, but if you're curriculum includes anything about White people oppressing black people with racism, and that that created an attitude that still persists in our culture, and let them decide for themselves, they'll never get the chance, because the white supremacists right-wing will run in, declare it's unfair "hate America" propaganda, and have it removed.
That's the whole point: they don't WANT the whole truth to be told because it makes white people look bad.
Iâm 47 now, and I learned how we destroyed the Indians n enslaved Blk ppl. We didnât learn much else about it, yet I remember having neg savage thoughts of our ancestors. We saw examples of racism on Little House on the Prairie and The Waltonâs and it was considered wholesome family TV. We never had this backlash.
Im beginning to think this is about BLM and them wanting to call them terrorists n Marxists, this is what Trump went with. When we said the election was about saving democracy, that it was the most important election in our history, Trump deflected and accused the Dems of it, n made it look as though we were anti police n wanted to get rid of them.
And now that the Râs are so desperate to retake power by squashing the voting bill which disproportionately affects minorities, poor n the old, they donât want ppl to realize the tactics they are using presently is indeed the same racist tactics of the past. Then there is the fear of them becoming a minority. I think most of it is to try n win power, but I also think they have real fears of change. They dnt even care about democracy anymore and have adopted authoritarian rule. Are they really going to try another insurrection? I have seen absolutely no condemnation of ppl like Tucker calling to take up arms n his racist bs, or mike flynn calling for civil war.
So, i think this constant paralleling Demâs ideals to the Holocaust could definitely be much more sinister. They are sending out serious fear mongering, knowing the Dems are traditionally as weak as mice.

Google Southern Strategy so it will make sense
@@itsROMPERS... So you're saying that American history classes until CRT came marching in to save them in the last few years have never exposed students to a reasonably accurate portrayal of history, including slavery, Jim Crow etc. I'd be truly shocked if that were the case. I'd guess that in fact the teaching hasn't been bad, and what the people in this video that I haven't watched cos it sounds like nonsense are actually objecting to is the ideas being propagated in books like How to be an Antiracist and White Fragility, and in the latest educational programs in schools, which essentially try to end racism by seeing it everywhere.
@@formulaic78 Shocked? It's not the case that we are exposed...
Did the "founding fathers" fight for freedom? Most would say yeah.
But then the questions would have to be asked... Didn't they own slaves? Didn't they kill off the native population? Didn't they deny women the right to vote? Didn't they deny most poor the right to vote?
So why do we say they fought for freedom?
And we can't say that it was the times and they didn't know better... George Washington wrote in a letter that he felt like a hypocrite, claiming to be fighting for liberty and freedom while at the same time owning slaves. James Madison outlawed the slave trade, read that as slave markets, in his state. So they knew slavery was bad.
But it's taught that these guys fought for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

Iâd like to ask any one of them âcan you please define critical race theory?â And watch them implode
It's an leftwing ideology that asserts that the systems inherent in America and the western world are inherently racist both historically and currently. This is incorrect. Historically, yes America was racist. But there is no enforcable law in America that is racist. CRT reframes everything in the lens of racism and this is destructive and counterproductive.
@@FatherManus stop and frisk isn't racist?
@@Kreid5 No, stop and frisk was based on the crime present in the areas it was performed in. More crime equals more frisks.

CRT is the critical analysis of the legal system as it intersects with issues of race. Examining social, cultural, and legal issues as they relate to race and racism. Everything else it the results during discussions using the CRT lens. If you're referencing certain speakers 9r writers you can take it up with them. Not an umbrella term for an entire field of theoretical conversation.

If one puts up that much of a fight simply from learning that people of his skin tone did the most atrocious things, it begs to reason he holds some defense of those atrocities and dislikes the criticism.

I agree with your critical race thinking. Regardless of how one feels about true, verifiable historical events, they are forever history...just as it unfolded...regardless of what role a person's ancestry played in that history. Why would someone be so triggered by the accurate telling of true events?
What children??? It's almost July, school is not in session. WTF with these people?
It would be nice if you explain each time what CRT IS. Most people here Race and go off the rails.
What is the education level of these people
It's probably higher than you think, but they were pity-passed.
Make the CRT mean cathode-ray tube again.
They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.
I CANNOT deal with the really bad spray tan of the left host. Lol
He clearly doesn't wanna be white...?
CRT has nothing to do with goodness and badness. It has to do with power, and it's organization along racial lines. It doesn't call out individuals for their race. It analyzes how power is preserved along evolving paradigms of race. Skin color is one of a few paradigms.
"In the simplest of terms, Critical Race Therory is the study of law and how it has been part of the infrastructure, from slavery to amansipation to segrigation to today, upon which racial inequalities have been based. It is basically an effort to think about, we have had commitments to equality since the 14th admendment, yet our reach has not realized its self in real equlities."

I didn't know Michael Savage was still around. I see he's still a nut job after all these years.
I somewhat agree with your point on CRT. Back in the 60/70s, systemic racism was rampant. Things have gotten better since then of course. So, I agree race isn't the sole cause/explanation for many things, but it does still play a role.
I am white. I don't feel beat up.
The insanity just runs ramped through our country now!
Right-wing logic is an oxymoron.
"I studied history..." Yeah. No. No, Michael, you didn't.
Roy L. Brooks defined critical race theory in 1994 as "a collection of critical stances against the existing legal order from a race-based point of view". Richard Delgado, a co-founder of the theory, defined it in 2017 as "a collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power". So, what is there to be critical about again?

70% ?
I'm amused that he brought up "excluded from swimming pools". Cause in the US we have been excluding people from swimming pools by race since we first had swimming pools. Just that it was black people, not white people. Lawsuits that brought an end to that also led to the closing of most public pools. Better to not have pools at all than to have to let white people into them. Indirectly, it also likely led to the boom in suburban private pools.
And more recently, haven't we seen some incidents of black teens being assaulted by cops in pool incidents?
This reminds me of an uncle who learned that ad hominem is a thing. He didn't actually know what it was, he just knew you could say it to someone who disagrees with you. And I think that's what the Holocaust has become to these people. Something you say about "bad" things.
Wow! They so want to be oppressed!!!
Does Savage not know that black people were once excluded from swimming pools too? And it still happens today.
"this is like the Holocaust" seems like just a spinoff of Godwin's law
What happened to their chant in Charlottesville? This is the equivalent of them saying "blue lives matter"...it has a hidden meaning
Growing up in a very beautiful isolated part at the top of Australia with First Nation people or Aboriginal people, I never experienced racism as a child or saw or heard about racism. It was only when I was ten and had moved to the southern part of Australia and we studied in primary school the history of Australia being settled by the Europeans and the subsequent slaughter of thousands of Aboriginal people, that I was taught the truth. I remember being shocked by the history as I would describe my early years as hippy Utopia. Was I told to feel bad for being white, did I feel guilty for being white, could I change the past? NO of course not, none of those things. I felt sad that Aboriginal People had been treated badly in the past, did I bear responsibilty? never crossed my mind, it wasn't me who did these things in the past.. If you don't identify as your skin colour {ie being racist as a point of difference to the other} then you feel sad for humans past and you don't own it as your race did it to that race unless you are separated by race as a racist.
Why is everything compared to the Holocaust? I get so sick of it. It's becoming cliche now.
when Godwin's Law meets Tourette Syndrome
I giggled. That was clever.
In a way using, the term is disrespecting the event. almost making it common or less then it is ... Where are peoples common sense. On the news , I saw someone demand the teachers wear cameras.
why don't they teach CRT in University? Why only College. That's so weird.
"A sober and sensible critique"
Yeah, I wish that would happen more often, too.
They seem to ignore that Hitler was also a right wing conservative jingoist. They compare themselves to the victims of what is clearly their side of the spectrum.
My dad used to listen to Savage.
AM radio in the car, every time.
That must have made for an ... interesting trip. You have my condolences.
My neighbor listens to him every day
She loves this fool.
You don't realize what led to the camps...it did not happen overnight, it was incremental...like now!
It's like saying the voting rights bill was written by the devil. It shuts down honest debate on the merits of the subject in favour of irrelevant hyperbole.
If my kids need to learn about the holocaust, they should learn about the truth about the civil rights movement and red lining.
A theory isnt like a holocaust.
Its more like the type of racial division which led to the holocaust.
Im all for it, a nice good sort out. Spring cleaning.
Have these "conservatives" even read a book on CRT?
No.
Also no if you remove the last two words.
Not sure they even read books.
Which school teaches that a specific race is no good?
Between Michael Savage and Roger Stone, I'm convinced the older far right/republican figures are secretly Dick Tracy Villains.
David (if I may be so bold), I am what most of the world would consider mildly right of centre, but liberal on social policy - in other words a radical leftist Trotskyite in US parlance. I think your willingness to challenge "critical race theory" and the blanket acceptance of presentism makes you one of the most understandable moderates in the US in the eyes of observers from democracies beyond your shores. đđ°đȘ
Please keep up your amazing fight, your a voice admist our darkness, your much-needed and much appreciated,
As someone who has been in school for most of the last 20 years, learning about slavery and Jim Crow and the KKK never made me ashamed of being white. All it did was resolve me to be better than them.
What struck me harder was not that they were white, but that they were Christians and use Christianity to justify their bigotry, even as slaves and free African Americans embraced Christianity themselves. But once again, this didnât make me hate myself for also being a Christian, it made me resolve to be a better person than those in the past who justified horrific deeds with their religion.
At first they came for the KKK, but I said nothing because I didn't own a hood...
I bet everyone who has a problem with this being taught in school. Had no problem staring at the little black child in the classroom. When the teacher fired up the VCR and popped Roots in... I have so much I want to say but not enough space.... But this comes down to understanding and correcting the future for all humanity!!!!! Love. No disrespect to Mr Haley.
