Perhaps just sum up.
The race related education bill that just got signed in Tallahassee does NOT forbid the teaching of the ugly, racist parts of American history.
There's a difference between teaching that there was a time when racism against blacks was far more common in America and that bigotry and discrimination was wrong...
...and teaching that because those bigots were white that YOU as a white person are responsible for the acts of those bigots. Bigotry that occurred before you were born, let alone anything you did.
Teaching that someone is responsible for something because of their race is racist.
Even if that someone is white.
We need to return to the idea that racism is racism regardless of whom is regurgitating it.
Even if the racist is black!
Considering how thoroughly the left controls the media and the message, good luck.
ReplyDeleteEvery two-bit politician you hear about is still calling the bill to not talk about sexuality to kids under eight is still calling it the "don't say gay" bill - from the dog catcher up to the president and the spokes-droid Chucky. I've heard at least a dozen people say that that never appears in the bill, but the narrative is set.
What's been fascinating for me watching this is the everyday person doesn't appear to be accepting the narrative this time.
