what a speech. Schooling the opposite side of the house - have a watch and see what you think? (it's very watchable and NOT boring)
Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch made a speech during a debate on Black History Month, in which she said any British schools teaching critical race theory are “breaking the law” and criticised the “anti-capitalist” Black Lives Matter group. |

We now have a school system where it is illegal to criticise capitalism, and even talk about systemic racism against black people. I'm sure the Galahad free speech warriors will be up in arms about these infringements.
True 1984 stuff.

Criticising capitalism is fine tbh. But critical race theory has no place in ... Well, anywhere really. Apart from Tumblr.

What good will come from telling people they're automatically victims and oppressed based on their skin colour?

Is teaching about the holocaust, and the fact that jews have been treated with suspicion and murdered for all of modern history just about teaching them to be victims?

That's different as critical race theory treats the issues as being current, it's not describing historic events.

Anti semitism is a dead concept? Discrimination is over?

Of course not,but teaching black people they're automatically victims, as per CRT, helps no-one.

It's not really about that, as Liam said. If your perspective is that it is, then we're really at an impasse and it's pointless carrying on

Well the reason it's popular at the moment is to rile up the gallahads. But CRT by itself was an intellectual undertaking that started in the US to look into the reasons that black people suffered discrimination in the justice system, which has morphed into structural advantages that white people have historically had over black people.
It's curious that this became an issue for trump in September, then Johnson in October. Before Johnson brought it up, it had never even been mentioned in parliament before. It's more divide and conquer stuff.

What’s your obsession with discrediting BLM?

How are we learning from history by making discussions illegal? That's willfully ignoring, not learning.

If something like CRT (or the BLM movement, for that matter) isn't open to examination or criticism, or at least is often not providing logically sound philosophical defenses of the theory but instead relying on ad-hominem against the critic, then they stop being political theory and become political dogma. |

Its actually quiet emotional to see a strong black person not play the victim.
What a beautiful woman.
