No, it isn't and no, it doesn't. Critical Race Theory examines institutions and their role in propagating, however harmlessly, the racial divide. It is from this that we can talk about systemic racism. If you don't agree that there is systemic racism, then please explain how the horror of Tulsa was able to be covered up for so long. And the many other similar events. Further, Critical Race Theory honors the personal stories of minorities--their experiences and their lives. If we want to do anything about racism and inequality in this country, we first have to listen. What's that old saying? Walk a mile in their shoes? What Critical Race Theory aims to do is to remind you that if you are not working against racism, then you are complying with racism. It isn't enough to say, like previously claimed in this thread, that "I like those people." Or something of that sort. That's just lip service, which is just a step away from being a hypocrite. What are you doing to improve yourself and your ideas on race relations in the US? What are you doing to help minorities around you? I see Critical Race Theory as a call to action. To listen, to learn, to improve yourself. And Oregon, which was constitutionally designed as a white's only place, still has a lot of work to do - that latest poll showing that 40% of the state's population has a racial belief profile more in line with the Proud Boys than the US Constitution. Don't forget ableism. 26% of our society -- and pdx is the worst of American city I've visited -- is systematically isolated due to benign negligence. So, while we're eliminating racism, let's also work on ableism, misogyny, and homophobia. |

Or maybe this thread should just die already |

Critical race theory is rank racism disguised as something more benign. It teaches that people who are ethnically European, even my white four-year-old daughter, is a inherently a bigot and that she can never not be a bigot. It also teaches that ethnic Africans (although that word is problematic, but all better words have already been deemed "racist), whether they were born before my four-year-old's inexorable racism was unleashed the world or not. In a phrase, it is racist against ethnic Europeans and demeaning to ethnic Europeans. It is a lie. Rank racism, like critical race theory, have no place in this or any other civil society. As to the relation between critical race theory and OSU athletics, I will let billsaab explain, because I have no idea. No, it isn't and no, it doesn't. Critical Race Theory examines institutions and their role in propagating, however harmlessly, the racial divide. It is from this that we can talk about systemic racism. If you don't agree that there is systemic racism, then please explain how the horror of Tulsa was able to be covered up for so long. And the many other similar events.

It isn't enough to say, like previously claimed in this thread, that "I like those people." Or something of that sort. That's just lip service, which is just a step away from being a hypocrite. What are you doing to improve yourself and your ideas on race relations in the US? What are you doing to help minorities around you? I see Critical Race Theory as a call to action. To listen, to learn, to improve yourself. What am i doing to improve my ideas on racism and helping minorities? What makes you think minorities want or need our help? I know many people with melanin different than mine that would consider statements like this soft bigotry of low expectations as racist and insulting. Like i need to go out of my way to help minorities instead of classifying people by severity of need or desire to be helped? The way to not be racist is to not classify people by skin color and see each person as a unique individual. Why do liberals always want to plug people into a "community" based on skin color or other characteristics? It only further divides.
Critical Race Theory in my opinion is just another steaming pile of marxist garbage designed to pit us against each other. You'll never convince me otherwise. It seemed 'race relations' were thankfully a minor issue/problem until the race hustlers decided they could make a quick buck and gain more power using their useful idiots. White supremacy is a threat to our national security? Does anybody legitimately believe that? Until Americans realize we're being brainwashed to accept policies that divide us by race, economic class, religion, gender etc. we'll never be able to see eye-to-eye. I have little hope the majority will wake up to the charade.
My brown wife and I will go on teaching our brown children to judge people by their character, abilities, actions and ethics and not the melanin content in their skin. My family and at least another brown family that we know will send our high school graduates, who applied and intended to go to OSU, to private Christian universities where they're not forced to be injected with an unproven, experimental drug that's not been approved by the FDA to prevent a disease that's less dangerous to them as climbing in a car and driving to their friend's house. It was heart-breaking for the other family's daughter who had planned for years to be a Beaver. The added bonus of them going to a private school is avoiding the mandatory "act less white" indoctrination class. It would be confusing for my son anyway, and probably her too because I suppose they both act "too white". Clown world.

And another thing while I'm at it. I'm sick and tired of white people telling me I need to view people with a different shade of skin than I as "other". A minority. I don't want my kids or wife to be thought of as a "person of color" and neither do they. It's insulting. In my view it further divides. They're Americans. Those with good intentions propagate this otherness. We're all brothers and sisters. We are all created in God's image. Stop with classifying people by something so trite as skin color or sexual preference, pigeon-holing them into your preconceived notion of who you think they should be, how they should feel, how they should vote, how they must need your help and therefore how you should treat them based on your own biased, and do i dare say, bigoted perceptions. |

Core of... Melton, Meckler, Donkey, Dukart, Gretler, Boyd, Dernedde Frisch, Pfennings, Hjerpe, Washburn, Mundt, Salgado, Watkins, Lawson, Townsend I think we can build on that....and I'm sure you throw in a few more names and a few more will emerge.....if a guy like Mcmahan gets his mojo back could really help....or if McDowell somehow develops to hit at this level.... Dukart, Watkins, Pfennings, Mundt and Salgado are actually draft eligible. I hope they do not get drafted. We need them next year. If they all stay, the future looks bright. This is a baseball thread, isn't it? Go Beavs! |

Is there a grace period? Draft starts on July 11th, he turns 21 on July 14th. |

Weird... since this is the rule on the MLB.com I just looked up. LINKHigh school players, if they have graduated from high school and have not yet attended college or junior college; College players, from four-year colleges who have either completed their junior or senior years or are at least 21 years old; and Junior college players, regardless of how many years of school they have completed. |

I think he's making fun of gay black folks in wheelchairs while declaring himself a bigot if I read the last few pages correctly. Nuke the gay whales!!! |
