Anti-CRT ad during Gators vs. Charlotte Game

Don’t watch the ads.

 

Did they at least include a trigger warning for snowflakes ?

 

“Existing” and “flourishing” are two very different concepts. Not that I would expect anything more from a white Libby whose probably never even been parked in an African American driveway much less been in the home.

 

So, in this instance racism is calling people the N-word. How pervasive do you think that is in our society?

 

It is a complex subject to discuss. There are the high level academic types who write about it on a high academic level, and then there is a lower street level advocacy that happens also.

On the street level few people have studied the primary sources, but on the ground they know what people are saying. They know the kinds of conversations that are happening. They see the ripple effect the academy has on people outside of the academy. They see how that affects people’s outlook on life, and their attitudes towards different things in society.

This ad targets the latter group, the debate at the street level, with a simple message. That people can try to chase their aspirations. Not everyone can do everything they set their mind to, but people don’t have to view themselves as helpless prisoners of a system.

Yes, there are statistical macro-trends in society relating to all kinds of things, but those are not true for every individual.

 

If you really want to uncover something before ever mentioning CRT drill them on the tenants of CRT and see how many of them agree with the tenants of CRT.

If none of them know what CRT is, yet they agree with CRT on almost every point that would show you the kind of traction CRT has among your students. It would mean they are being socialized into it without ever being told what it is.

 

Critical race theory is racism.

 

1. Treating a person or group of people worse due to their race or ethnicity.
2. Pervasive, as numerous studies have and continue to show.
3. Putting aside what I've observed anecdotally, experts have studied the issue and offered mounds of data confirming it.
4. Yes.

 

Just like remedying the intentional dilution of Black representation is "racism," eh? Glad the racism expert has checked in.

 

I understand. In your mind only white people can be racist.

 

I'm not bothered by a political commercial. As the elections near, we'll see plenty more during football. That said, I'll still call the commercial what it is: right-wing idiocy.

 

CRT Matrix... brilliant!

 

I didn’t respond to you at all originally. Talk about straw men.. you started the conversation with me and now want to claim my original assertion that wasn’t directed to you or include you in anyway is a straw man? Weak my friend very very weak.

 

So you are objecting to a political topic appearing in your sporting event that you find objectionable. However, that should only apply to political topics that you disagree with appearing in your sporting event consumption. You do not get how that can come off a hypocritical after the last 3+ years of having politics injected into sports?

You must not live in a politically competitive state as I cannot watch a sporting event with out getting at least two political ads per commercial break.

 

Please remember that some on this board look at politics as good vs evil. Their side is righteous and good and the other side is evil, bad and must be destroyed…

 

Don’t worry sweetheart, I’ll
Let you know when I’m talking to you. And I won’t even have to use course language unless your into that kind of thing.
