@manifesting.inner.g
True history, huh? l learned all about slavery in school. About Jim Crow, the drinking fountains, the Poll Tax, Dredd Scott, the KKK....learned it all in school. That's history and it's true history. I learned it in the sixties. I also learned about the abolitionist movement, Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War that finally abolished slavery and I know the Civil Rights movement and Dr. Martin Luther King are also taught in school. So your comment is all just plain nonsense.
Also, it's DEMOCRATS that are supporting CRT and Republicans that are against it. Why would Republicans be against "true history". The Republican Party was formed specifically to end slavery. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and Jefferson Davis was a Democrat. It was Democrat president, Andrew Johnson, that ended Reconstruction after the Civil War and the first black Americans elected to office, were also Republicans. Democrats fought to save slavery, voted against allowing blacks to become American citizens, didn't want blacks to vote and when blacks were able to vote, the Democrats were the beneficiaries of the thugish behaviour of the KKK who used fear to discourage the blacks from voting. The Democrats initiated Jim Crow, the Poll Tax and fought against the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, LAST YEAR, California Democrats wanted to repeal the California Civil Rights Act. Democrats did this.
If anyone wants "true history" betrayed, it would be the Republicans. Yet they oppose CRT. Do you know why? Because, what the Democrats want taught and what CRT teaches, works to minimise the Democrats negative contributions to the history of black Americans. In other words, CRT is NOT "true history". It's an ideology, that's borne out of Marxism, that teaches perpetual division and it leads to the hatred and vitriol of the guy that's threatening that audience with a 1000 man army. That would seek to divide the family, of that woman, into racial camps....THAT'S your CRT.
We don't want that division. That's why Republicans are against CRT.

What are those other guys doing looting, burning, threatening people with bodily harm and destroying people's businesses and homes? A small town with around 25 businesses completely destroyed and the mayor and state governor do NOTHING. Kyle worked in Kenosha, volunteered to clean graffiti that the rioters painted on walls, offered medical aid to rioters, protected the businesses that were left unprotected and even put out fires.
He would have stayed home had the political leaders, that were elected by the people of Kenosha, done their job. He was protecting the town. The people, that attacked him, were gleefully destroying it. Once again, if the people that you elect refuse to protect their community, should we all just allow thugs and criminals burn it down? You're the lamb who willingly walks to the slaughter.

He isn't justifying an innocent man being killed. He's saying that this wasn't a case of the police just going in and killing an innocent man for no reason. This guy was SO concerned for his safety, that he felt he had to sleep with a gun under the blankets with him. Who feels that way? Only one who knows what's going on and the dangers of being where he is.
Tatum is decrying the automated response of those who would cause violence and destruction in protests. It's like I said, you want guarantees in the handling of serious criminals, that nothing would ever go wrong. It's some kind of Utopian vision of perfection and if things don't go perfectly, then you get angry. That guy had better realise that if he doesn't want to be on the wrong side of a police altercation, he'd be advised not to hang out with those who are actively committing serious crimes. Only the most naive or ideological possessed would believe that this guy didn't know what his cousins were up to. He knew and that was why he was up and, in spite of only being partially awake, had a gun in his hand within seconds.
It's too bad that it happened but you either respect the law, which he clearly did not, and be careful who you associate with, or you increase the risk of finding yourself in a bad situation manifold.
If you live by the sword you will die by the sword.

none of your damn business
Then you may as well say that you're a slave of life. Money is a convenient means to trade or negotiate for the things that we need to sustain us, like food, water, clothing and shelter, the very basics of life. Every high end species needs some of these things and our fragility demands that we need more.
In reality, we in the west, live a life of comparative ease. The poorest of us live better than even the richest did 500 years ago. We live longer, have better health, live in homes that keep us dry when it's wet, warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. We live in a luxury that would make people like Henry VIII and Elizabeth I gasp in amazement and envy. I'm a retired, almost 70 year old man, living way below the poverty standard for my country, yet I never worry about the basic essentials of life. In fact, I'm leaving for Cancun for 10 days in a 5 Star resort this weekend and last year, I was in the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic. I'm living a life that wasn't even a dream in medieval Europe.
You want to wallow in misery and envy, that's your choice. I prefer to appreciate just how lucky I am and enjoy the only life that I'll ever have. It's not always easy and the work was hard at times, but I am fully cognisant of the special times we live in. Times that so many many so cavalierly complain about and want to destroy. They have no idea what they might lead themselves into.

I'm sure we're going to get the "cops kill blacks for no reason" arguments, somewhere in this comment section. I'm sure that there are corrupt cops, just like there are tall cops and friendly cops and quiet cops and stubborn cops. They're human and like ALL humans, each one is different in temperament and personality.
However, some of us don't want to see them as individuals. They want us to see police officers as carbon copies of one another. Maybe if the MSM wasn't so quick to jump on a police officer shooting a black as a racist crime, we'd have better race relations in this country.....but they don't. When a white guy is shot by an officer, there's hardly a whisper from the MSM but a when it's a black guy, they're all over it, calling everything and everyone in sight a racist and babbling on and on about unconscious bias and systemic racism.
It's MSM that's the problem in this country. They report what they think can cause controversy. Blacks being shot and the ensuing riots is a Godsend to these vultures and they fan the flames in glee. They know that making a big deal out of a police officer being shot won't cause the riots and rhetoric, so they don't mention it, except in passing. MSM has become a danger to the public. They've broken one of the basic rules of journalism. They've become the news and it's turning the people of the US against each other.....and they love it.

We can't change the past, whatever it was. We can't change the future either. We can only change the present. In changing the reality of now, we can, hopefully change our future for the better.
It's like being married to an unfaithful wife. It's traumatic, painful and you lose a large piece of yourself. You can withdraw, refuse any more interactions that would lead you back to a married relationship or you can try again, learning from the first interaction and avoiding the pitfalls that brought you to today.
You're using the past to avoid changing the present. To you, it sounds as if you believe that since the past happened, change is impossible and avoiding pitfalls, even those that aren't your fault, can't be done.
Like I said, if you don't run, you'll never find success in a race. Just because you lost the last race because someone tripped you, you don't quit racing. You run again, aware of the fact that the unfair does happen, and avoiding the unfair as much as possible.
The past is irrelevant because it's out of your control. Don't use it to hobble the now and, by proxy, your future. It can only bring more of the past and you certainly don't want that.

@thelastcommenter7154
I never ONCE said CRT is fake. What I asked was why would the party, that fought against slavery and Jim Crow, want to cover up the details of slavery. That's the claim that proponents of CRT are claiming. "They are suppressing CRT because they want to hide the reality of slavery". Why would a party, that formed with the mandate of abolishing slavery, want to hide that slavery existed? It's illogical.
Also, you never corrected anything. Not one fact or detail was given that could be used as a correcting point.
People bog themselves down in details and forget the big picture. Also, I didn't google it. I guessed that year because I'd heard of the 1619 Project. I used common sense NOT Google.
It seems rather disingenuous to claim that slavery and CRT could only be applied to America, when slave trades have been in existence for centuries. The African slave trade also took place in the Caribbean, South America, Europe and in the Middle East. Yet, you're only going to apply it to the US? Strange thing is, the US is the ONLY country that fought a Civil war, that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of it's own citizens and which brought to an end slavery in that country. That's also a part of history. The ones that brought the African slave trade (native Americans practised slavery too) to America, did so because of a history of slavery that went back thousands of years. In other words, it was nothing new OR unique to America.
Also, it still doesn't answer why the Republicans would want to cover up their part in ending the African slave trade.
