When I read this thread it occurs to me that I stand in line at Home Depot and drink beer at the local pub with some people who think like this.

How come these types of opinions don’t come up in normal conversation? I’ve never heard anything like this outside of these wacky articles that are popping up everywhere online.

Because these articles are way out there and posting them as mainstream is simply nut picking. But I guess it makes for more posts and clicks

Agreed they are nut picking. Unfortunately, the more prevalent these articles become the more people with crazy takes feel emboldened to post their idiotic opinions. It's beginning to spiral out of control. Talk to a 16 year old girl, and they will hit you with the wackiest, most out of touch things you've ever heard. I never even thought about "whiteness" until these lunatics made it a crime.

You are correct again, but when I was 16 they were wacky opinions about what to wear, who they were in love with, etc. Now it's all police are murderers, I'm guilty of my privilege, every Republican is a racist, etc. Fwiw, my youngest sister is 16. And usually you are checked by an adult with some of the stupid **** you think at the age, or at least I was. Now the academics and media encourage you to be a lunatic and have irrational opinions.

"Reporters" and political activists (modifier independent) are a breed of their own; they have a special level of stupidity baked in.

I felt like Biden would have nominated her for Climate Change Czar or something.

I can't believe he's passing up an opportunity to sniff an underage child.

Maybe it is just me, but I hate the word czar especially when it is associated with U.S. officials.

He's worked out quid pro quo with her. He got a package from Sweden with unwashed underwear after closing Keystone.

These are quotes from a Harvard educated and later Harvard educator:

Top 7 quotes of NOEL IGNATIEV famous quotes and sayings | inspringquotes.us

Note the hilarious URL name. Inspiring quotes indeed.

He taught at Harvard around the same time the current pick to head the DOJ (Kristen Clarke) was writing about how whites are inferior (90s). Flash forward 20-30 years and we're surprised some of the most important institutions in the US if not the world are negatively impacting modern society with this marxist garbage (critical race theory)? These aren't one-offs. Blue-collar and flyover types might think they're just "nut cases that are cherry picked to represent the mainstream"... but what happens at Yale/Harvard/Columbia/Brown/Univ of Chicago/Stanford will be mainstream within 10-20 years. And we're seeing that slowly take hold in state schools and eventually will take hold in K-12 systems.

University stands by 'Problem of Whiteness' course

Take note a prominent quote from that CNN article... "‘treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.’” That was uttered by the very same man that said those very inspiring quotes listed above.

You might do well hiding your head underground to ignore a reality on the ground... but that doesn't change the ground truth and only makes you blind to it.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, by me pointing out that prominent academics saying I don't deserve to live because of my race is just me being a fragile white guy according to another oft-quoted academic who makes the circuits charging major corporations to lecture their employees about their whiteness - Robin DiAngelo

Likely. His stand down is going after white nationalists rather than the gang problems in the military. Ft Hood should be the focal point of his efforts. It's not; that's all you really need to know about where his politics and sympathies lie. Not saying it doesn't happen, but you should seriously question things like when a Silver Star is awarded to a general ... suspect a highly inflated biography. I like Biden's choice of a recent military officer as SecDef - just not this guy.

A lot of the educational woes stem directly from ivy league thoughts on how to teach. I don't have much respect for the old "those who can't ..." line of thought, but I absolutely have no respect for those who teach teachers. One of the great idiocies of the day is that it's more important to know how to teach than mastery of the subject matter.

Having good teachers that understand the material and encourage dissent and debate are crucial for a functioning society.

Having teachers that are just brainwashed appointees to carry forward the "divide and conquer from within" agenda that Kruschev unironically laid out for the world in the 50s are crucial for undermining a functioning society.
