I said I don't converse with you anymore,
but I'll address this since this post won't
go away.

Your idea isn't to help those children to have
gratitude. Your main goal is to get them to
stop focusing on Critical Race Theory, and it's
very obvious why you'd want to for anyone who
truly understands what Critical Race Theory is
all about. CRT deals with the possibility that
racism/white supremacy may be a permanent factor
in our society and that we have to formulate a
plan that prepares us to deal with this reality.
Ultimately, it leaves no place for YOU as a
white person, because how would you continue to
be an influential presence in the lives of Black
people who have a realistic understand of how
racism works on the social level? You couldn't,
and that scares you as someone who relies on the
naivety of Black people to be the boyfriend, mentor
and step-parent who subtly seeks ways to de-radicalize
their views. It's not lost on me that all of your
views lead to that. You've fooled a few, but all
of us aren't so slow. You know what you're doing,
and I know you know.

Beyond that, this ridiculousness you're talking about
Critical Race Theory being detrimental is some of THE
most offensive mess I've ever heard, considering it's
one of the most important disciplines to emerge in
the last 15 yrs. It's disrespect to the late great
Derrick Bell (who happened to be a very "successful"
person) and all others who've contributed to the
founding of the discipline. So telling that you
ignore all of the professors who founded and contribute
to it in your effort to demonize it. Black professors
have pointed out how hard it is for Black professors
to change the climate at universities due to the fact that
they have to go through white people who only want to
be told that they're good people instead of hearing
honest critiques of racism. So is going along with
that kind of flow what you're considering "success"?
That is the fundamental flaw in what you're saying.
"Success" for Black people in many ways and areas
is predicated upon how willing they are to go along
with a system which fundamentally opposes us and our
will to speak honestly about our experience of said
system. Instead of vowing to help dismantle that system
by succumbing to the same odds, you're just saying
"these black people oughta stop being aware of how
the system works." This is why I said in the other
post that you're the equivalent of the slave-master
who didn't want slaves to read, because knowledge
created unhappy slaves. It is the exact same concept.
