Conservatives see critical race theory in anti-racist schooling and they want it gone from Kansas...

SSG Brian G. - Where??? Only trumpkins are saying this.

SFC Randy Hellenbrand - No, my simple minded little friend, it is not just convservatives.

SrA John Monette - You don't grasp it do you? Those were actions our ancestors did, BUT not a single living person today ever owned a slave, or was a slave, nor were their parents. See you keep repeating that line and yet you fail to acknowledge a few things that are pertinent in all that history. So let's review. One, the US history is no different than the history of the world, of every nation that exists or has existed on the face of it. Two, slavery began with the POC and was part and parcel for every single nation in various forms. Black slavery began with, yup, you guessed it... black, African tribes would conquer other tribes and sell the losing tribe member and that is how the first black slaves began to filter out of Africa. And yet whites are the only ones being targeted here and made to feel this way.

Yet this is all that some fools seem to want to focus on and it promotes a continuation of hatred on all sides of the equation. Go read up on history. We learn about history, to learn from it, to be better for it and to no repeat the mistakes of the past. The stupidity of thought that a person, just because they are white, should feel shame in something another group of whites did is highly ignorant. It would be a far cry different if say it could be traced back to a certain lineage but it cannot as America is a nation of immigrants with people coming and going each year. We are a melting pot of people.

SSG Brian G. - I agree , Africans selling conquered tribal members was going on in the time of the Romans. Muslim slave traders took over the North African slave trade in the early 700 CE. We went to war with the Barbary Pirates over their enslavement of American sailors. Africans are still being enslaved by Muslims in North Africa, should I feel guilty about this? Do you think ethnic groups that made up Vikings feel guilty of their enslavement of the Irish, Scots and English? So should we blame and shame Germans for the actions of Nazi Germany? What about the actions of descendants of Communist Russians.

Critical Race Theory is a LEGAL Theory and has morphed into social and historical theory and it is basically BS.

SSgt Ray Stone - Just looking for the facts.

MSgt Dale Johnson - Amen brother.

Troll elsewhere SSG Ray Stone. His recollection is not made up as that one is fairly familiar and not one that is new. Maybe if you were not so blind, deaf and biased you might see that.

SSgt Ray Stone - Ray, do you know how to google ? Look up the story, there are multiple news sources caring the story.
