Interesting comment....

If anyone knows about hate and racism, it's you. Remember how you pretended to be married to a black guy so you wouldn't be accused of bigotry when you told racist jokes, and post in "Ebonics"? *
I'm sure you can explain to us how being aware of injustices (what you Reichtards call "woke") is "hate." Then you can waddle off and cry about TDS and "this thread is mine." lol

There were never any students, but if there were... you're 100% correct. Really, what kind of a self-proclaimed "inner city teacher" refers to the students as "thugs"?
TDS is so very real...

So what proof of this nonsense do you have, Lion? Links?

The racists don't want us to discuss injustice. It's "race-baiting" and "hate," according to them. That's why they summoned the non-existent CRT demon. Discussing race, injustice, etc. is mean to white ppl and is just causing racism, not subduing it. See the posts on the last two pages for more details.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
It's a very funny thing. The right and the left have completely different connotations of woke.
The left is proud to be woke, because the left understands the term as it is defined. Awareness of racial issues is a good thing.
The right is trying to turn it into something else, based on misinformation and their own racism.
Only racists don't want racial issues to be taught in schools.
They don't want their kids coming home asking difficult questions.
They like their white privilege just the way it is. Don't mess with their white privilege!
The LAST thing they want is for people to be educated about it.
The right prefers stupidity and ignorance.

Exactly. We're not even supposed to discuss privilege because it's racist to white ppl.
Have you also noticed how the Reichwingers can find a single person of color who will agree with their bigoted stance on racial issues, and use them to claim that that person represents how *all* people of color feel? It's only the (D)s who are stirring up racial tensions.

Shouldn't you be off pretending to be having "round two of Christmas"? Oh never mind. Just another one of your pretenses to having a human family and a real life.

Um no, it doesn't work that way, Skippy. You make the claim, YOU back it up.
I see nothing in your links about "extortion." I see that several entities *willingly* donated to the BLM group. Where's the extortion part?
From your CNET link:
"Below, we've rounded up major companies, from big box retailers to clothing stores, game publishers, fast food chains and more, that are giving substantial donations in the fight against racial injustice and systemic oppression. They're giving to organizations that include the American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Equal Justice Initiative, among others helping to create change. "
Sounds like they're more than happy to support causes that champion social justice and positive change.
This appears to infuriate you. How come?

While hardly some "Reichwinger," I'd be more than happy to discuss privilege and race from the perspective of the Left using the books, videos, and other published stuff those on the Left have put out about it. I don't know if you've bothered to actually read any of the stuff the Left publishes on this subject, but I can tell you you're in for a brutal pounding if you take your position from it.
The reason for that is the Leftist stuff is a mix of puerile academic quackery, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theory. Take for example, Picca and Feagin's Two-Faced Racism: Whites in the Backstage and Frontstage. It is supposed to be an academic work. But if you look at it critically (as opposed to using quack pseudo-critical methodology like Critical Pedagogy where you look at it dogmatically and politically) it is nothing but a shlock piece of rubbish put out by liberal arts majors who's statistical methodology would have gotten them an F in a freshman statistics class.
For the uncritical Leftist though, such a work confirms their own preexisting bias as it hews the dogma and politics of the Left closely.
So, let's have that discussion on privilege.
Let's start with this piece of work, Tim Wise. He's a leading lecturer on White Privilege. He's written a number of books on it too. He regularly lectures in academic settings at universities even though he has zero academic credentials...

Kind of random but I’m curious how far you’re willing to go in support of this. On your LinkedIn profile are you willing to add white privilege next to your pronouns? So it would look like PoliTalker (he/him/white privilege).

Sorry, but I do not form my opinions from obscure sources like the ones you're trying to drag into the discussion. I form them from my own observations of the disparity between how people are treated, depending upon their appearance. I form them from the actual experiences that I and people in my family and circle have had. I form them from news events.
Guess what? Just about everyone else on the left does the same thing. It's only you hysterical RW ninnies who see a sinister evil racist-against-the-dominant-culture-in-the-U.S. plot everywhere. The proof is in how hard to had to dig to find these ppl no one but you and your "sources" have heard of.

My sources are dominant ones in Leftist academics at universities. They are the ones that Leftist professors and academics regularly use in their classes to indoctrinate and propagandize students into Leftist dogma and thinking.
Unlike your use of personal anecdote that means little, the stuff I'm bringing up is common and invasive within academia and public education today. I first started looking at it back in the early 2000's when the Tucson Unified School District started Leftist indoctrination classes in several of their high schools under what was then called the "Raza Studies" program. They brought in people like Tim Wise to lecture the teachers in the program, among other things.
On the Left and radical Left in academia there is an an evil racist against the dominant culture plot going on. You can find hundreds of professors and academics who all but openly--or even openly--admit it too. You just have to look.

Sure thing there, Karen, sure thing.
Fox "news" link... snort!
Ad hominem and a genetic fallacy, about par for the course. As usual, the second the Left is hit with actual facts and information, they fold and their argument becomes totally irrelevant. You started off with this drivel:
I responded by offering to take you up on those issues. You've responded with first an anecdotal fallacy, then ad hominem and a genetic fallacy. I produced an academic study, a video, and other evidence of how the Left and radical Left are the ones that are racist and bigoted, and are in fact, the ones stirring racial tensions.
You got nothing so far. Can you do any better?
