Republicans Warn That Opposing Racism Is A 'Communist' Plot

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) claimed on Tuesday that advocating for dismantling systemic racism is propaganda in service to the Communist Party of China.
On Tuesday afternoon, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan wrote , "On the anniversary of George Floyd's murder, we reflect on the fact that dismantling systemic racism is also a national security priority. The fight for racial justice at home and abroad is foundational to our future & to how the world sees us."
"This tweet is approved by the Communist Party of China," Cotton tweeted in response just minutes later.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Wednesday argued that "social justice" is "often code for social Marxism." Rep. Matt Gaetz said just days ago that "the real threat to our nation is the Marxism and Critical Race Theory that they [the Biden administration] embraces." And Rep. Mo Brooks wrote earlier in May that "Marxism stokes division by fanning the flames of class, race, and gender resentment."
Cotton has repeatedly lashed out at efforts to address systemic racism in America.
In February, he characterized efforts by the Biden administration to address racism as "anti-American" and racist itself.
A month later, Cotton said that acknowledging the existence of racial bias in the country was "slander" against America.
Other Republicans have similarly attacked the concept of systemic racism.
Thirty Republicans in the House banded together this month to push legislation that would prevent the government from addressing racism. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), has argued that "systemic socialism" is more of a "real" problem than racism.
International rivals of the United States have tried to exploit the racial animosity in the country to their own advantage. Citing campaigns by the Russian and Chinese governments to highlight and exploit America's racial divisions, the Center for a Just Security recently noted , "America's competitors view its social division, history of racism, and domestic anti-democratic movements as a vulnerability for the country."

As a nation , we have to ask ourselves , what kind of a mindset believes this?
And then confront it.
clipping white supremacists should be a $5 misdemeanor ticket nationwide, but watch your background and check the drainage first... /s
In reply, I have only one comment for the Republicans....
These morons need to be voted out but unfortunately the Trumpturds love these bs views. They will vote them in over and over again in tribute to the moron we finally got rid of so they can continue their racism hoping that he will love them.
This is because they can't run on anything else. They have no ideas of their own so they need to find a boogyman somewhere in Biden policies to energize their racist base. Cultural Marxism and Cultural Socialism are far right terms to scare old evangelical white supremacists and their enablers.
This is really nothing new. Right-wingers accused MLK and the civil rights movement of being "communist" years ago.
The Nazis accused the Communists of the Reichstag Fire, and then rounded them up and imprisoned or disappeared them.
What these "leading lights" of the
RepublicanAmerican Fascist Party are doing is not new. They are copying their predecessors.Okay then, no need to listen to anything else Cotton has to say on this issue since that right there tells me he is not a serious person.
Fixed.
CRT is, of course, a Marxist derived theory. That it's proponents are so ashamed of that is telling.
Although after reading the headline attached to this submission, it's just more evidence that honesty isn't valued by Marxists.
The whole point of CRT is to divide people by race. The goal is to indoctrinate people to lose the sense of being an American, or even an individual, and to identify primarily by their racial identity. OF course that's bad for America. And of course China will benefit if American devolves into the hostile racial tribes. How is that even debatable?

But nothing he wrote contradicts what I wrote. Critical theory indisputably arose out of the Frankfurt School of Marxist philosophy. CRT focuses on race, rather than economic identity as controlling human interactions.
My cat qualifies for that.
How profound, Sean you must have been looking at the history of the US when much of the white race was doing exactly that. Now all of a sudden it's CRT that's doing it because, well just because.
you must have been looking at the history of the US when much of the white race was doing exactly that
So discrimination is okay now because it happened in the past? The two wrongs make a right school of philosophy......
Where did I agree that CRT was dividing the races, I didn't but you keep swinging away and looking the ass.
Sorry, sometimes I assume posters are trying to make a logical point. I'll try to remember you don't do that.
Assuming always makes you look like an ass, keep it up.
Anything logical would be a bridge too far for you, whining is your forte.
It is funny that you, of all people, would accuse others of whining.
I know anything that disagrees with your bigoted views is whining. You should work on clearing up that problem among the many others that you have like your squirrel routine.
Have a great day trying to find your nuts.
And no point reading any further. Looks like you typed a lot when "marxist, socialism, radical!" as the entirety of your comment would have sufficed.
Good way to stay ignorant and avoid scary words!
That critical theory derives from the Frankfurt School of Marxist philosophy is about as basic a fact as there is. By all means, continue to ignore reality and claim otherwise.
That shtick is so tiresome
They fail to recognize that the very divisions the right wing foments with their contrived "culture wars", is the way foreign entities want us to be divided. They themselves are being victimized with outside foreign influence and refuse to face it. A divided culture that is fanned by foreign influence repeating the same talking points as right wing politicians and right wing media is keeping the far right inflamed against the America people who don't fall for it or don't agree.
That sums it up.
The
RepublicanAmerican Fascist Party long ago learned the advantages of abusing the English language:Frank Luntz is ashamed.
geez, did you search until you got the biased view you wanted?
