Everyone bashed the Tate hire.

I like the guy.

So you're okay with the critical race theory garbage, because he tweeted some mild support for Kelly? You don't find him the least bit hypocritical for saying the only accent he cares about is purple and gold, when his CRT specifically targets skin color to judge the character of human beings? Why doesn't he use the same rules for accents as he does for skin color?

He killed it at the introductory press conference

still think his beliefs on CRT are concerning, but it is undeniable that his moves in regards to athletics are refreshing. Objectively he’s doing a good job - credit where it’s due.

You’re just jealous our President is cooler and likely has a bigger than your!

How is teaching about the oppression of a group based on their skin color any different than teaching about the oppression of a group because they are of a different religion/blood line (Jews/Hitler)?

We like to water stuff down in regards to our own history here in America--i.e Christopher Columbus "discovering" America and having a wonderful dinner with the "Indians"-- but we have no problem talking about the atrocities committed in other areas of the world.

History is important no matter how bad it is/was and should be discussed---

You just demonstrated, profoundly, that you have no idea what CRT is. It's not a history lesson on black oppression. There is plenty enough on that, anywhere you look. CRT is the theory that if you are white, you are, by default, guilty by association of all the sins of slave owners and Jim Crow era white people. It pits one color against the other. It is the very definition of that which it pretends to oppose... Racism. CRT is blatant racism.

Anyone with a pea brain knows this. And yet, you haven't a clue. I'm embarrassed by the people in this thread, for their utter ignorance of what Tate stands for. People like you are how we got this point. You allow this hatred to persist, because you're naive and ignorant enough to believe it is actually opposing racism.

Critical race theory is a very broad area of study that can’t really be nailed down to a concise set of principals or something. Thus it’s a perfect boogie man

You don’t have a clue what you are talking about.

It’s very clear in Ibrahim X Kendi’s book, but i’m sure you have never read it.

1. He very clearly states that the only way to solve past discrimination is with current discrimination.

2. Anything that leads to unequal outcomes is “racist”, that’s why math is racist.

3. That’s why capitalism is racist and needs to be destroyed.


It literally says this word for word in his book. I’ve read it. It’s not obscure.

You are in denial.

Sounds like you just made up your own version of what CRT is---

I'm sure you can find all kinds of hoopla and crazy stuff on the internet to support your view that CRT is black ppl trying to kill white folks, but here is the official definition.

"critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans. Critical race theorists are generally dedicated to applying their understanding of the institutional or structural nature of racism to the concrete (if distant) goal of eliminating all race-based and other unjust hierarchies."

Not sure how this is a bad thing to explore and get young minds thinking about. The same way we get them to think about genocide and physical war's.
