By Blue Go To PostAh, I see. So it’s something Republicans/conservatives don’t want to talk about because it’s uncomfortable. This whole time i guessed it was something about diversity.I been black all my life and never heard of critical race theory until last year. It sounds dumb from left and right alike.
By World B. Flat Go To Postwhy are politicians all ugly as fuck and out of shapeTrudaddy in nice shape though.
why can't we have beautiful and fit politicians

By FortuneFaded Go To PostIt’s been in conservative circles for a few months. They don’t know what it is either, same with marxism which they also mention a lot. DeSantis banned the teaching of it in Florida today.They banned it? Hahaha. Haven’t these people heard of the Streisand effect?

It sounds dumb from left and right alike.I’ve never heard of it either until recently and figured it was something created for the culture wars. Never bothered to look into it because I also think it sounds dumb.

I just think it’s strange to dismiss something before actually seeing what it’s about. Critical race theory isn’t even a new thing either it’s been around in some capacity since the 80’s.
Fucking hell just heard someone talking about critical race theory in the airport. Is this blowing up now?
Here's the problem though. When you take existing education/history as taught, label one specific element and amplify it, then call it some dynamic 'feature' - you're creating the framework to have what used to be accepted teaching to get removed or twisted up altogether. Pushing something you can't quantify means the push back is going to be something you also can't quantify.
There's no reason at all to rebrand history just to fellate the white guilt/#activists crowd or attract assertive attention from right leaning institutions who lost this fight decades ago. So far, I've seen nothing but people regurgitate talking points on CRT without having the slightest idea of what it is beyond it being related to racism, what makes it unique or requiring compartmentalization within that umbrella, or even highlight individuals who've pinned their careers to it.

By DY_nasty Go To PostI been black all my life and never heard of critical race theory until last year. It sounds dumb from left and right alike.I never looked into it but automatically assumed it was another case of whites trying to control the narrative of their ancestral and current histories of systematic oppression, genocide and colonialism.
Watching the funeral of the Muslim family killed in London, Ontario. I’m Muslim myself, this makes me so sad.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostIf you think it’s dumb that’s even more reason to look into it and engage with the ideas, if only for your own intellectual stimulation. I just think it’s strange to dismiss something before actually seeing what it’s about. Critical race theory isn’t even a new thing either it’s been around in some capacity since the 80’s.I dismiss it mainly on it being a tool for the media and right-wing people to use it as something that is tearing apart America and dividing this country into further chaos when in reality no one cares about it and hardly anyone even knows what the hell its about. Not dismissing CRT although the name is silly to me, knowing that it is being used as some distraction when there are more pressing matters like voters suppression and politicians being scumbags is what makes me dismiss it. Ain’t got time for this culture war bullshit.
I figure it was a Republican who even created critical race theory. They usually do create their own boogeymen, after all.
Look, we were always funding propaganda and indoctrination in public education
I guess it's cool we've reached the point where we have to openly admit it via legislation

By reilo Go To Post"And then the British monarchy and colonies agreed to a peaceful transfer of power after a few proud men filibustered…"People are always so quick to bring up the famines, the massacres, the subjugation, the cultural destruction that the Brits did but nobody ever mentions the railways they built.
By reilo Go To PostCritical race theory is basically a decades old culmination of historical studies that says racism is systemic and engrained in the US since the beginning.And because culture wars bullshit is a good distraction from their shitty, unpopular policy platform.
Republicans don't like it because they have taken up a stance that racism is only a problem insofar that there is a few racist individuals in this country and not society as a whole.
GOP's dream world is common folk vote them in to keep out the bogeyman of the week but they only legislate when donors need something.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostBibi is out and replaced by someone supposedly even worse.
Bennett is an asshole, with a Napoleon complex, but will serve largely as PM in title only. Yair Lapid, a centrist, will be largely in control.

By Kibner Go To PostAny way you could copy paste the article? The site keeps taking me to a summary when I scroll down to read more.The first Israeli government in 12 years not led by Benjamin Netanyahu got down to business on Monday, with the former prime minister shying away from a handover ceremony with successor Naftali Bennett.
The right-wing leader's record run in office ended on Sunday with parliament approving, by a razor-thin majority of 60-59, a new administration led by Bennett, a nationalist whose views mirror Netanyahu's on many issues.
In Tel Aviv, thousands turned out to welcome the result, after four inconclusive elections in two years.
"I am here celebrating the end of an era in Israel," said Erez Biezuner in Rabin Square.
"We want them to succeed and to unite us again," he added, as flag-waving supporters of the new government sang and danced around him.
A combative Netanyahu, 71, said he would be back sooner than expected.
"If we are destined to go into the opposition, we will do so with our heads held high until we can topple it," he told parliament before Bennett was sworn in.
The traditional handover ceremony was not scheduled at the prime minister's office, where Netanyahu was expected to meet Bennett later on Monday to brief him on state matters.
The last time Netanyahu was unseated as Israel's leader, in 1999, he ended his first term in office with a glass of wine in his hand and affable words of welcome to then-Labour party leader Ehud Barak, who defeated him at the polls.
"Sour, grumpy, not stately – Trump-like until the final moment," Yossi Verter, a political affairs commentator, wrote in the left-leaning Haaretz newspaper.
Asked why there would be no such scene now, Topaz Luk, a senior aide to Netanyahu, told Army Radio: "That's just what happens.
Netanyahu, he said, was "filled with motivation to topple this dangerous government as quickly as possible". Luk declined to disclose Netanyahu's comeback strategy, pointing only to the new administration's slim margin of support in parliament.
Luk said the incoming government was receiving briefings from Netanyahu's diplomatic and security advisers to ensure an orderly handover.
After holding its first meeting late on Sunday, Bennett's new cabinet was invited for a traditional group photograph, showcasing incoming governments, at the official residence of President Reuven Rivlin.
UNSEATING NETANYAHU
With little in common other than a desire to unseat Netanyahu, the patchwork coalition of right-wing, centrist, left-wing and Arab parties largely plans to avoid sweeping moves on hot-button issues such as policy towards the Palestinians, and to focus instead on domestic reforms.
Palestinians were unmoved by the change of administration, predicting that Bennett, a former defence chief who advocates annexing parts of the occupied West Bank, would pursue the same right-wing agenda as Netanyahu.
Under the coalition deal, Bennett, a 49-year-old Orthodox Jew and high-tech millionaire, will be replaced as prime minister in 2023 by centrist Yair Lapid, 57, a popular former television host.
U.S. President Joe Biden congratulated Bennett and Lapid, saying he looked forward to strengthening the “close and enduring” relationship between the two countries.
Addressing parliament on Sunday, Bennett put Biden on notice that he would follow in Netanyahu's footsteps in opposing any U.S. return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal abrogated by former President Donald Trump.
Netanyahu was Israel's longest-serving leader, and had served consecutive terms as prime minister since 2009.
He used his global stature to resist calls for Palestinian statehood, describing it as a danger to Israel's security. He sought to bypass the Palestinian issue by forging diplomatic deals with regional Arab states, on the back of shared fears of Iran and its nuclear programme.
But he was a divisive figure at home and abroad, weakened by repeated failure to clinch a decisive election victory, and by a corruption trial in which he has denied any wrongdoing.

Ireland is introducing some legislation to try and deal with that shit. I think it's going to be increased stamp duty if you buy more than 10 houses or something like that. It's badly needed, people just can't compete with the pension funds etc.
