  1. ​@Isaac Clark - What? You realize that the vast vast majority of people just took it for granted that Africans were inferior mentally. It would be out of place for a European or Arab or whoever to suggest they were on equal footing. Jefferson pushed the boundaries from the norm, trying to impart some rights onto them. This is a classic example of looking back in history and applying modern morals. Was Mansa Musu a monster? Black people and Muslims hold him up as an icon, but he made his money through slaves. Weird how the double standard is accepted by some..

  2. ​ @amitsunoko7270  - Hahahaha. Did you just say CRT is objective? It is explicitly not, according to a video from this very person.

  3. ​ @mackmckinney5206  - Not true. You are just mad that people are seeing through these bs "theories".

  4. Wouldn't it be wonderful if people listened to this type of news instead of Fox and CNN?

  5. That is the exact opposite of what happened, lol. Marx was wrong about so much, his theories led to widespread misery.

  6. ​ @BlapwardKrunkle  - I am a biochemist, and I wouldn't trust a sociologist as far as I could throw them. If you are assuming sociology is scientifically rigorous, or scientific at all in a lot of cases, you are solely mistaken. Just because it is published doesn't mean it is true

  7.  @isaacclark9825  - How so? Being created equal doesn't mean you end up in equal positions. He was trying to improve upon the paradigm of his time. African tribes fought the British because they wanted to continue slavery, are they cowards?

  8. @Isaac Clark  - I said he improved upon the standards of the time. He tries to move the direction towards emancipation without having the moral convictions to fully embrace the best course of action. Calling him a coward is just funny. It would be like calling a Roman a coward for having slaves. It's just dumb to insert our modern morals. The vast vast majority of men back then thought that Africans were clearly mentally inferior on a genetic level, it was a different time and your emotive responses serve no purpose.

  9.  @stuartj.wright1579  - How about you don't respond if you don't know what you are talking about? No one demanded your uneducated response.

  10.  @JerodimusPrime  - You're applying modern morals on history, and it is exceptionally tedious.

  11.  @stuartj.wright1579  - This has nothing to do with free speech. It is you making an uninformed response that you shouldn't have. That's it. Take it like a man and move on.

  12. @darylstephens1391  - Seriously? That is your justification? I am curious if you actually believe it. Tell me, how old are you? It is obvious you are just grasping for reasons to justify hatred you have developed because of the opinions of others on social media, because no serious person could think the US was worse than other nations that had slaves. It was a worldwide practice, and plenty of countries had rights granted to their citizens. Hell, in England it was illegal in the country but not for people shipping them abroad. That would be far more hypocritical. No nation operates on a purely moral plane, and singling out the US as particularly evil is just... dumb.

  13.  @stuartj.wright1579  - I am not anti free speech, lol. Say what you want, but if you want to project an image of intellect, perhaps don't become aggressive about topics when you aren't fully informed. I don't care either way. And speaking of arrogance, I am pretty sure Europe has the US beat on that.

  14. So, basically, you can't say what it is, but you sure know he is wrong. Weird, almost like it is a nonsensical philosophy that shouldn't be promoted. Enlightenment, science, objective truth are just casualties to you.

  15.  @stuartj.wright1579  - Are you seriously trying to turn this around and claim I am the one acting ignorantly? That might work in Europe, but it is pretty clear you are just trying to flip the tables because you are embarrassed. You responded without understanding the context, so just say it's mia culpa. Either way, move on from this topic, because I am not interested in you trying to save your ego by finding fault with me and trying to turn it around. You enjoy Europe.

  16.  @luizmonad777  - Who are cowards?

  17.  Bobby Brown  - Socialism has a precise definition. I am not sure your social media informed view will really add anything here. In case you didn't know, Marx stated socialism was the public ownership of the means of production. We very much do not have that here. Socialism isn't "when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the more socialist it is!"

  18. ​ @stuartj.wright1579  - Just so you know, I think people like you are ruining the country. You are on the wrong side of history, trying to bring pre-enlightenment immature ideas into the mainstream. I hope you grow up some day, honestly.

  19.  @stuartj.wright1579  - Oh, you want to have a high minded debate about the implications of post modernism? Well, depending on what specific type you are talking about, please understand I was talking about a subject mentioned in the video which is pertinent to many readers. It was not purposefully exclusive, please don't take offense. That work for you my overseas friend?

  20.  @Nanajsiuz  - Lol, that is a favorite word for people trying to avoid debating their ideas. Identity politics divides us and creates enemies where there were none. I remember in the 90s when I was a kid, I strongly supported anti racism and equality for all. But now, because of how extremist and terrible the new movements are like BLM, I just cannot support them. They basically think the answer to racism is more racism, just aimed at the right people. It has created nothing but problems, and it is leaving many demographics in a bad situation. Our country does not exist so they can have "equity" I am not paying taxes so someone will get money from me just because of the color of their skin. I know activists think they are on the right side of history, but they are so wrong. In the future, we will look back on this time as an era when liberals lost their core values and adopted racism and other isms as a core part of their identity. They think it is good because the people being discriminated against "deserve it", but it is already failing and receiving massive backlash. People don't want the woke bs to become the standard.

  21. ​ @yeahohright3097  - These people will deny CRT is bad until liberals move on from it. They don't have the capacity for independent thinking, they are just following the crowd.

  22.  @justaguy3665  - Lol, so, you aren't brave enough to admit CRT is intellectually bankrupt? Don't want to be seen as a bigot, so you adopt a completely irrational ideology lile CRT.

  23. ​ @keropi193  - People like you always look at the extreme cases and try to make national policy on it. Just like socialism, it fails miserably. You refuse to see how your analysis is shallow and ignores empirical evidence. Most people want to maximize the whole system, you are fine with handicapping everyone so a small minority get a standard of living that you get to define. Go away, your ideology is dead and it isn't coming back in case you haven't noticed.

  24. @darylstephens1391  - Dude, come on, you are grasping at straws so hard it is absurd. They also didn't let women vote, but it never occurred ro them that it was an issue. They just viewed black people and women as naturally incapable of running a prosperous country. Looking at Africa, especially South Africa where you have a clear divide between white rulers and black workers, and you can see the country is now falling apart.

  26. ​ @JerehmiaBoaz  - Lol, let me guess, you're black? Wow, big surprise, someone who would benefit from this skewed idea which demonizes white people and throws them under the bus, why wouldn't you love it? Now, if the programs were favoring men of German ancestry, you would lose your mind claiming the US was run by the KKK. It is your clear lack of intellectual consistency which no one likes. Your "ideas" boil down to "Give me more! I don't care who it hurts as long as I get mine!" It is a childish viewpoint, and it is based on very bad academic work.

  27. ​ @JerehmiaBoaz  - Ah, you support socialism, no wonder you support such an intellectually immature idea like CRT.

  28. ​ @JerehmiaBoaz  - Hahahaha, CRT is not "accepted scientific theory" lol. Hell, a lot of good scientists don't even think sociology is a science in most cases, but rather philosophy driven by ideology. That is why there are so many activists in sociology, because it isn't a proper science. The fact that you think it is "proven" says all I need to know about your intellectual capabilities.

  29. ​ @jeffmacdonald9863  - Ya, that is called chasing ghosts. Activists will find racism absolutely anywhere. And they always fall back on "well, even if it was their fault, it isn't really their fault because everything they do is controlled by the white man! At least everything bad that happens, all the good things are from our own hard work!" You guys are a joke

  30. ​ @seannymommy  - Lol, you just proved his point. Nothing but vague hand waves, but you are ever so sure it is 100% correct. This video does go over it, and it is a putrid ideology. It is all about being racist against white people, and that is why people like you are so damn vague about it.
    1
  31. ​ @seannymommy  - You know that social scientists are regularly mocked by STEM academics, right? Nearly 50% of their papers cannot be reproduced. Many people question if it is even a science at all. You certainly cannot say it is a scientific fact, because sociology rarely rarely produces papers which even come close to proving causality. It is a whole lot of "Well, if you look at if from this very specific lens or modality which uses racism to explain everything, then of course racism is the answer!" I remember reading a sociology paper which tried to correlate more historically racist regimes in the South with underperformance the black demographic. They found a 5% correlation, meaning that all of these cries about systemic racism being the root of all black people's problems is a fricking joke. Many cultures have been through much worse and ended up thriving. And more importantly, look at how bad it is at actually addressing any of these problems. Supposedly racism is everywhere, but the best activists can come up with is "we need special programs that discriminate against other people so we can get ahead" But I thought that racism towards black people was the problem? Instead of getting rid of this racism, you want to introduce more racism. It's a joke.

  32.  @kerryjacoby9438  - Lol, you are joking right? So, in my response I say that people like you automatically resort to calling things racial because you have been brainwashed ideologically without actual facts, and then you turn around calling me a racist, proving exactly what I was saying. And yes, it was a correlation between Historically Racist Regimes and undesirable outcomes in the black demographic. So, the best you can do is call me racist and quibble over something that wouldn't even matter if you were correct, which you aren't. And you wonder why no one takes you guys seriously and calls you extremists? You are. You are a plague on society.

  33.  @JerehmiaBoaz  - Let me guess, you're black? Let me explain something to you. Science formulates theories which can predict future events accurately. Theories are changed according to their predictive capability. Where are you seeing this in sociology papers? Papers which 50% cannot be reproduced. So, you have a 1 in 2 chance of a sociology paper just being outright false. Just because they call themselves scientists does not mean they are. The very core of science is making testable predictions, something sociologists rarely do because they cannot formulate a working theory which is congruent with empirical evidence. This isn't a new thing. I had a biochem professor call it a "soft science" for this very reason. Why do you think it is known as a soft science? What do you think the word soft implies? I'll hold your hand through this. I know you desperately, desperately want it all to be true and scientific so the government can give you more handouts, but it just isn't so.
    1
  34.  @JerehmiaBoaz  - So let's discuss it, let's see who is more scientifically literate. What science am I denying? How can something be a science if it literally cannot make a prediction? How would you know if the theory is false or not?
    1
  35.  @JerehmiaBoaz  - Sociology is a tenuous science at best. There is a reason it is known as a soft science. Meta reviews have shown roughly 50% of sociological papers cannot be reproduced. This isn't surprising, because it is not scientific in the first place in a lot of instances. Anyone can look at data, write a narrative, and publish it. That is philosophy, not science. Science makes testable predictions, that is the core of what science is. So, how did these CRT academics prove that their theory is correct? As this video shows, they specifically reject the idea of an objective truth, basically meaning that no one can falsify their claims. So, how is it a science again? Is this the point where you say it is just a legal framework, admitting that it isn't a fact and it is certainly not proven?

  36.  Science Lad  - Lol, you really want to go there? This will be fun. I am a biochemist, I am fully aware of what a scientific theory is. I think you are the one lacking here. A scientific theory is a well supported scientific hypothesis that fully explains its subject in an objective way which aligns with the empirical evidence. Crucially, it is a theory if it can make testable claims which have been supported by empirical evidence. These are usually mathematical equations in something like physics. CRT is absolutely not on that level, and it is laughable that you think it is. General relativity is a scientific theory, you can predict the orbit of planets with it accurately. CRT doesn't do any of this. It can't make accurate predictions, and it is not based on scientific inquiry. One of the main founders of CRT was explicitly anti-science, saying that it was a cultural artifact of white men. They reject the notion of objective data that might falsify their claims, so how in the world could it be a scientific theory? It is the opposite of that. Just because something is popular in niche circles doesn't mean it is a scientific theory. Popularity != scientific validity. Man, I see why you have so many bad ideas. You don't have a fundamental grasp of science or objective reality.

  37.  Science Lad  - Lol, about what I expected from someone of your intellectual stature. Just deflection, and oddly an appeal to authority right after criticizing me for it... Here, let me make this simple. I am appealing only to the scientific method. The scientific method REQUIRES that you make testable, objective predictions. That is kind of the entire point, otherwise it would just be more philosophy. That is what CRT is, philosophy. It isn't science, and I am actually not familiar with many people who would even claim it is a science. It is clearly not. It is a legal "lens" by which to analyze the laws of a nation, chiefly the US. This "lens" they use is little more than biases which are explicitly bad for academia. Like one of the principle authors of CRT being against the very idea of an objective truth through the scientific method. Thousands of papers are not proof. Thousands and thousands of papers were written about communism. It was even championed by the social sciences at the time. They thought it was the future and would lead to a better society. Turns out when your field isn't a science and doesn't require scientific rigor, it is very easy to get it completely wrong! Just like they were wrong about communism, and just like they are wrong about CRT. According to your intellectually deficient definition, communism must have been a scientific theory supported by thousands of papers and academics. Same thing is happening now. They are appealing to your emotion, not intellect. At least they know their audience, because you have far more of the former.

  39. ​ @abdirahmanhassan1848  - Right, then literally every human was a coward because slavery was common in all cultures. So, society was like that, weird to blame individuals. Especially in the modern age of "POC are never responsible for their failures! It is all systemic racism!" Do you really think that is the only reason they have failed societies? Are you a coward who refuses to put any blame on the actual group? You will look like a coward in 100 years, don't worry

  40. ​ @anndds  - Your talking points and cliches are really, really getting old. You sound like brainwashed NPC's. You just want handouts, tale as old as time. No wonder that demographic isn't doing well, they expect everyone else to just hand success to them.

  41. ​ @lillisa6441  - Lol, that doesn't sound one bit better. You act like it changes the highlighted portion, but it doesnt,, it just expounds upon it. Basically, CRT proponents know their arguments are extremely weak and illogical. Therefore, they say thar people must use their biases "context" to come to predefined conclusions.

  46.  @markalan4026  - Ya, it is getting seriously messed up out there. Feminists are openly chauvinistic and hateful of men. Anti-racists are openly hateful of white people. Socialism is trying to make an end around with "equity" being the new buzzword. And like you said, we have our tech overlords who force these ideas on is and censor any opposition.

  48.  @DemigodoftheSea  - Based on very little? You mean how implementing Marxist thoughts turned out horribly every single time? How it always ended up in a dictatorship that fell behind capitalist countries? Marxists who refuse to acknowledge the mountain of empirical evidence we have about socialism are funny.

  49.  @DemigodoftheSea  - Honestly man, your response is just boring. It is the same standard tropes you get with delusional socialists. Just like "It will work next time" or "It wasn't real socialism!" Your ideas have been thoroughly debunked, which is why no one takes them seriously anymore. You aren't a threat to US capitalists, you are completely irrelevant with no power and no path to power. Your ideas don't work on a fundamental level, it doesn't matter if everyone or no one was interfering with them. Funnily enough, capitalists were easily strong enough to withstand outside pressure. You are wrong about so many things it is actually sad seeing someone brainwashed like you. Maybe someday in the future you can do what most people do and move on from your immature, extreme ideologies.

  50.  @DemigodoftheSea  - My God dude, you are too far gone. You are about 100 years too late, but you still think socialism has a future, haha. I am really sorry you ended up like this, I know the allure of bad ideas can be tempting when they speak to an issue you care about, but your complete lack of intelligence in analyzing this "solution" means that your ideas just can't be taken seriously. Like I said, you aren't a threat to anyone, you are irrelevant.
