Critical Race Theory, or Race Marxism as James Lindsay would put it, is being ideologically institutionalized in the US. We knew about the CRT trainings that have made their way into government, private, and academic organizations - but this insidiously virulent and destructive mode of indoctrination has taken the form of a Federal holiday in the US. Now one year old.

Watch Youtuber Gothix's insightful deconstruction of 'Juneteenth' and learn why the holiday does exactly opposite of what it purports to support.

Gothix is great. Another "walk away" liberal, who didn't just walk away, but found her faith in something greater than herself as well.

Artex - I think I have seen her before, but even if it wasn't her, the lady I saw, a black women, spoke in a manner that resonated with me big time. I think it was her, but I should go watch and then try to remember.

You know, there must be a setting to "turn off" the spell check feature and I'm going to find that because it is annoying.

Hope you are doing well Artex.

For me, yesterday was over my limit when it comes to social interaction, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and there is nothing wrong with that.

Peace,

Ken

Artex - ok, I started to watch it, and while I don't disagree, she is not the same lady as I was remembering. I'm gonna try to find the video of the lady I remembered and if I can, I think the chances are slim, I will post it here. She was older, she had more hair on her head, she spoke outside, and she was resolute. She had conviction, she spoke with wisdom, and what she said resonated with me, so I'll see if I can find that video. I think it was in the NY area, but I'm not positive about that, and she dressed casually as somebody who has grown into her skin through years of learning and struggle and more than her fair share of suffering of course, but that is hard to measure.

There are different types of blacks, just like there are different versions of people in every race. Having been born in and lived in Chicago, I have had them for friends, neighbors, band mates, etc and I get perplexed sometimes when I read and try to assimilate what goes on with them today. That they are being manipulated is beyond question....but not by 'whitey', or 'the man', or however they are saying it today. They need to wake TF up and move off of the government and media plantation....

Bezel Bub My experience of visiting Boston was very weird. The black people I encountered seemed "normal" in some way. Many of the black people I encounter in my city are different, and I can't put my finger on it. For example though, in my city, if you go to a convenience store in many parts of the city and encounter black people, they will talk at you, or be rowdy and harassing (which my wife has encountered far more than me). We also encounter this phenomenon of almost exclusively black people walking into traffic and expecting you to slam on your brakes. But in Boston, those I encountered were just "normal citizens" like anyone else. Just people, not trying to represent anything. I was invisible to them, which I guess is my overall preference when I'm in public. They blended into the background and so did I.

I tried to explain this to a young black woman who was with the group I was there to meet, and her first instinct was to call me racist, and I had to point out that trying to express differences between behaviors of black people (or any similar looking groups) is the opposite of racist. It's breaking your own stereotypes.

But in the end I think we both decided it came down to culture in the different regions. My city talks a good game, but tends to be racist due to the level of "wokeness" of white people. There's just so much racism of low expectations. If you go to our local subreddit, apparently police aren't even supposed to enforce traffic laws because "it disproportionally effects black people." I think it's racist to assume that, and that the black community wouldn't want dangerous drivers off the road just as much as everyone else, since we have more than our share of pedestrian and auto fatalities from what has become a pretty insane amount of speeding and running red lights by going on the shoulder and around traffic stopped at an intersection. My favorite wokeism is that no one should snitch. Great, so we can have a community just as corrupted by violence and crime as the black communities that won't talk to cops? People just don't think through the consequences and seem to think that every criminal is ONLY a criminal because of whitey.

I have been exposed to so much "nonsense" in the poorer parts of my city, but I've also worked professionally with most racial backgrounds. And I think really, it comes down to poverty and the cultures that go along with that in the different cities more than it has to do anything with race.

Artex And I think really, it comes down to poverty and the cultures that go along with that in the different cities more than it has to do anything with race.

Good point. I live in AZ now and the primary race demographic here is Hispanic. The Latinos I encounter in my area are for the most part like anyone else...but...there are areas here like South Tucson, many areas of Phoenix where, for instance, I don't even want my GF to go to by herself, for any reason.

The first group of 20 black slaves were over in 1600, one of the slaves was called Anthony Johnson (such a western name for an African…) and after completing his indentured servitude of 8-10 years was free. He became quite well off and became an owner of *clutches pearls* other black slaves. One of these slaves was called John Casor and he became the first person of African descent in the Thirteen Colonies to be declared as a slave for life as a result of a civil suit bought by… Anthony Johnson.

So it’s in the OFFICIAL criminal history of the United States that the first proper slave owner was a black dude.

At least after indentured servitude you were free. So thank Mr Johnson for your slave issue.

Buffalo_Ken · 2022-06-23T17:56:46Z

Christian83 - well, it is one thing to have one slave and another thing entirely to turn it into a trade. So, regardless of the history of slavery, ain't it time to let loose the shackles. I think it is overdue and the black community has done a piss poor job when it comes to minding their own. Just saying it like it is evident. Hopefully, this can change, and if that lady above is the same one as I heard earlier, I cast my lot with her.

Now please understand the context when I say "minding their own" - it is in the American cities where crime levels are unacceptable and so many homeless. Harsh violence been happening one time too many be my sentiment.

Christian83 · 2022-06-23T18:24:09Z

Buffalo_Ken Indentured servitude is not slavery bro. In most instances they were offered the trip over for free for their servitude, which what at the time was on average 8-10 years. Then they go on there merry ways with a small payment and some food.

Think about it… you don’t name your children after your oppressors, do you? Anthony, John, Johnson - all names you’d take if you were oppressed by these people. You take those names from admiration, a lot like in the Windrush era. Lots of newly borns Winston, Ernest etc in U.K. blacks at the time.

Slavery was awful yes, but let’s remember it accurately man.

They control history.

But yeah fully agree man.

Buffalo_Ken · 2022-06-23T18:27:36Z

Christian83 - you don't need to tell me about indentured servitude - I just got out of it a few years ago....still, I learned a lot while I was there, so I ain't complaining. They satisfied their part of the deal and I did mine. But now, I'm out of it and I'm a free man. Plus, best part is, I really have no debts. Everything I own is paid off already and that includes the roof over my head and my vehicles.

The best way to be free is to be free of debt.

Christian - suggest a drink...

Buffalo_Ken Okie doke.

I’d like a Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon please mate. It does exist as well my friend

Buffalo_Ken · 2022-06-23T19:37:36Z

Christian83 - I know it exist even before you typed it and it is on the way. One for you and one for me!

Down the hatch!

Artex · 2022-06-23T19:58:11Z

Christian83 Because tribal peoples enslaved their enemies. The slaves shipped to America weren't captured by Americans or Europeans. That's a lot of resources and expensive. The slaves that were shipped to America were slaves owned by other Africans, which were captured by other Africans. Indigenous Americans also had slaves from other tribes. Europeans had European slaves. Asians had Asian slaves. It was globalization (Dutch Trading Company, anyone?) that brought slaves from other continents.

It is the more recent "science" of eugenics provided the "retcon" of the reasons for black slaves. There were Irish, Italian, and Chinese slaves in the US too.

What's criminal is the revisionism and painting of black Americans as the ultimate victims, which as Gothix says, only serves to keep them humiliated, weak, and waiting for a savior instead of saving themselves, which they are more than capable of doing.

Artex That’s it thank you Arty

You’ve gone a bit earlier than myself but you further hit the nail.

What I wanna know is how long can this go on?

It’s frightening man.

Christian83 North Africa does not have a problem with decedents of white slaves as all the male white slaves were castrated

The word slave is derived from Slav, as the early slaves in Europe were all from among Slavs.

America did not become a country until 1776 - and had abolished slavery by 1865.

Maybe the US is the country with the shortest record of slavery?

I’m guessing you mean descendants? And wow I didn’t know that man thanks. That’s fucking barbaric at least the cotton pickers kept their tackle.

I think you’re correct, of course the US has the record so to speak, that’s exactly why they’re saying it’s the most racist country on Earth.

Everything they say is literally polar opposite of the truth.

HashAttack2 · 2022-06-24T18:07:48Z

Christian83 Damn spell checker!

The Barbary slave trade refers to slave markets on the Barbary Coast of North Africa, which included the Ottoman states of Algeria, Tunisia and Tripolitania and the independent sultanate of Morocco, between the 16th and 19th century. The Ottoman states in North Africa were nominally under Ottoman suzerainty. European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to the Netherlands, Ireland and the southwest of Britain, as far north as Iceland and into the Eastern Mediterranean.

Christian83 - oh, I was thinking he meant decadents ......I guess descendants could be it but decadent is actually closer to the word got posted.

ONE WORD GOVERNMENT

One government kept its people as slaves, told them they were slaves and yet treated the people well, looking after their needs.

And one government kept its people as slaves, yet told them (over and over) they were free. Then this government proceeded to punish the people severely at every turn and deny them their needs, blaming them for every thing that went wrong.

Which government do you like best?
