Let Racism Die The Death It Deserves
By: Tim Haines
It is the 1619 propagandists and the CRT advocates along with the likes of Kendi who are truly the bigots and racists in America today. They are so under the illegitimate and false banner of so called anti racism. We the people and 1776 America has made tremendous progress in racial matters over our history and time. We embrace MLK, Jr. and his dream. Condoleezza Rice, Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, and so many others get this right. It is racist to deny the progress America has made since 1954 and the school board decision. It is racist to re separate us and re segregate us again by race. The movement of African Americans and other people of color to conservatives and Republicans in recent years has democrats running scarred and using race and hate to try to hold their plantation intact. It’s not working as issues like working class matters, religion, and immigration are driving the move to the conservatives.

DERRICK WILBURN: I will begin my comments tonight be reading a quote which, is the genesis of all of this Black Lives Matter, social justice, CRT conversation we're having in this country today.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." -- Colin Kaepernick, August 2016.
I am the direct descendant of the North American slave trade. Both my parents are black, all of my grandparents are black... all sixteen of my great-greats. On my mother's side, my ancestors were enslaved in Alabama. On my father's side, we were enslaved in Texas.
I am not oppressed.
I am not oppressed and I am not a victim. I travel all over this country of ours and I check into hotels, I fly commercially, I walk into retail establishments, I eat in restaurants.
I go wherever I want, whenever I want, and I am treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, literally from coast to coast.
I have three children and they are not oppressed either, although they are victims. I have taught them they are victims of three things: Their own ignorance, their own laziness, and their poor decision-making. That is all. My children, we are not victims of America We are not victims of some unseen 90-year old force that floats around in the ether.
Putting critical race theory in our classrooms is taking this nation in the wrong direction. Racism in America would by and large be dead today if it were not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life-support.
And sadly, one of those institutions is the American education system. I can think of nothing more damaging to a society than to tell a baby born today that she has grievances against another baby born today, simply because of what their ancestors may have done two centuries ago. There is simply no point in doing that to our children. Putting critical race theory into our classrooms, in part, does that.
Putting critical race theory into our classrooms is not combating racism, it is fanning the flames of what little embers are left. Let racism die the death it deserves.
