It's not about guilt. It's about learning how the mistakes of the past create the environments of the future.

But it is....what it is...
i did read i was just making a point
I don’t necessarily think people should feel guilty for anything they didn’t personally do. That’s like saying I should feel guilty and responsible for another black man committing a crime.
But if history is taught accurately, and they feel bad..
I’m not about making white people feel bad for being white. I’m about them knowing the effects of history, the system, and how certain words and treatment are condescending towards us.
I also think pragmatically, and know they aren’t going to just give up anything to benefit us, and ending racism isn’t beneficial to them. They know on a truly equal playing field, they aren’t always the best, and wouldn’t be on top. This is why I think it’s pointless to keep having these conversations, articles, protests, etc. because this isn’t a case of them not understanding. They understand what’s happening. They play dumb because it doesn’t benefit them to change anything.

Please, listening to the whole thing, doesn't make what she said any better.
What she said was down right despicable. And a flatout disrespect to every Black person who descends from Enslaved Folks.
You'll never hear not one Jew ever say this about the Holocaust or anything they've been through.
After listening to the clip, I don't have a problem with what she said. Perhaps she expounded on the subject more so beyond that 30 second soundbite, however, but within that clip I heard nothing worthy of controversy. Especially the latter part on making black children feel disempowered. There are FAR TOO MANY black people who live life with the perspective of what they can't do instead of what they can. I see plenty of that mentality on this very message board. Some of you are too defeated to even approach the starting line of the race. The church of pessimism. Glass half empty nikkaz.

no wonder that c00n lets them call her "Condi" 
thats not CRT you fukking clown
Nope, miss me with this shiit, teach the truth. And when the truth is taught properly, Black folks will not feel defeated, but inspired
You sound hurt. Must be one of those glass half empty folks I was referring to. At any rate, CRT aside, you can't dispute what she said in that clip. She said nothing wrong in those 30 seconds.
Why should black people give a shyt about what white people are taught at this point?
We need to focus on literacy, science and mathematics. Educating ourselves and are youth. CRT won’t solve our economic problems.
And racism is taught at home anyway.

Um, actually, if we aren't getting reparations (we won't), then, yes, white kids should be made to feel bad about being white...
Then they should be taught CRT so they can know how history really went down

If a class, lesson, or subject makes a white kid feel bad or uncomfortable that isnt a good enough reason to not teach it…good and necessary things shouldn’t be thrown away just because it makes white people feel bad…white people will just start bytching and crying and complaining until everything they say makes them feel bad is banned and outlawed
