Author debunks critical race theory with simple explanation 

Yes you beat racism it's called allowing Jesus to change a person's attitude that's how that's how racism it's solved

They dont want to fight racism, they want to introduce it into our politics. They want black voters angry at white people.

Critical race theory must be banned.

CRT isnt meant to beat racism. Its meant to promote left wing racism.

CRT doesn't promote racism. It explains that racism did happen and its inherent. 2 different beasts.

Avoid teenage pregnancies, avoid drug use, respect the law/police, fathers don't leave their wife/kids, are ashamed if they take welfare, don't blame one other race for their problems.

Wow . I thought that was whiteness. At least that's what CTR proponents say. 🙄

Exactly. When was the last time you saw or heard of an Asian family on welfare?

In short, they strive to become proud Americans who make their parents and America as a nation proud instead of constantly whining about how hard life is.

@@PeteH0121 Let's not overdramatize what author is saying. "Proud American" is not even on the top 10 of why some Asian americans work like they do. Just following expectations set before them at a young age, making your parents proud, being made to come home right after school, fear of not getting a high enough paying job, and the shame of it. The goal is on getting that job and proving yourself. And while it keeps you from being a burden on society, it is a shallow kind of goal.. Sometimes with the focused emphasis on academics, you do miss out on developing social skills and leadership skills and compassion for the greater community that other ethnic groups may have b/c they put more into their passions and their relationships. Generally speaking.

That was then, when common sense - not to mention conscience and ethics - was still common.

You mean "...lose (not loose) our international credibility..." plus better punctuation. Charles Murray really cuts to the chase, and ambition always matters, too. Some people just don't have much.

The problem is that Conservatives constantly cut at public education and only private school kids can get into college now.

The amount of cheating from those countries to get accepted though. It rivals that of white privilege to get accepted to the universities hahaha. I think the problem is privilege took over skill. The privilege got into the schools with connections and took spots away from Americans who deserved them, leaving them to squander their days in poverty when they could of been great scientists.

Too Bad America doesn't fun education the way Asian countries do.

Right. The "free pass" is nothing but a condescending pat on the head that pushes a person back down if they don't nicely tell the "free pass dispenser" to take a flying leap.

America was built on the principle of giving a free pass to a certain race. That is how the founders setup this nation.

Yeup. And when I confront POC online about my experiences getting beat up for being the wrong color - they tell me that they still can't be racist. They can be bigoted... but never racist. There's another word for ignorant that applies.

I have experienced massive anti-white discrimination including college teachers standing in front of the class saying the world would be a better place without white people (white teachers saying this). As well as being threatened with assault for going into the wrong neighborhood. And when I report these crimes with evidence to the DOJ civil rights and all these anti-racism groups- none of them care if the victim is white male. I guess I should put a dress on. Not only would discrimination against me become illegal they'd probably make me a captain in the Navy.

An attitude of gratitude makes a better country

Oklahoma City has a thriving Asian District thanks, in large part, to Vietnamese refugees who came here in the late '70s and early '80s. I attended school with several of them and got to know their families. Everything you said is 100% truth. On average, I'd say that our Asian residents are, far and away, more successful than their white counterparts here. But every time liberals here (we have more than a few in OKC) complain about the plight of local minorities, they never, EVER bring up our Asian population. For some strange reason.....🤦‍♂️😁🤷‍♂️

I've been saying for quite some time that if the push for "equity" wins out (meaning equal outcomes, rather than equal opportunity, is mandated) that the last bastion of meritocracy will be sports at the elite level.

Strange how the Leftists never advocate lowering the bar to allow white/hispanic basketball players a better chance of making the grade in the NBA yet such a practice is widespread the other way around in business and educational opportunities.

@@PeteH0121 I would argue most job opportunities are based on connection instead of merit. There are a small percentage of people that get jobs based on merit because they were exceptional in interviews, or have an exceptional skillset. Lots of white people get positions based on the perception they are better. I would argue the same for black applicants. Sometimes people just pick any black person instead of qualified black people. Jobs don't recruit like sports and that's why athletic analogies don't make sense.

Except the NBA is exempt from all this diversity crap…

@@TheSpokenWizard I have not found in my life that my job opportunities were based on connections at all. This may be the case for certain kinds of jobs at certain levels. But even then if you get a job because of connections but can’t do the job you are unlikely to keep it. In a tight job market knowing someone who already works at the company may get you an interview. They same may be true if you are member of a minority they want to hire. In my life it was sometimes luck that I happened to apply for a job that had just open up because someone just quit. I could say I lost out on jobs because they wanted someone younger or prettier but I can’t say MOST opportunities are based on looks. So I doubt most opportunities are based on connections.

Depends on which Asian group you highlight and their location; the ones that endured 250 years of slavery and 150 years of jim crow discrimination did not do as well. And CRT does define racism, which is why racists want to smear it.

Yes, it's a mindset. It has nothing to do with imaginary "extra" hurdles. CRT is dangerous garbage.

Davi Clar Concerns with education, family, and financial stability are fairly universal in settled (i.e. non-nomadic) human societies. Besides, they have to do with natural self-interest, so there is nothing particularly noble about them. These are very ORDINARY virtues which need no special praise. Basically, the idea is to male a lot of money, in the hope that it will bring contentment. You seem convinced that, if one jumps through the right hoops, the outcome will be 'great', whatever that is supposed to mean. I would be interested to know what is the CONTENT of these people's lives, apart from material acquisition and academic success. Are they Christians, or are they not? Jesus says that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.' He also said, '...what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?' So one's attitude toward Him matters far more in the long run than one's worldly accomplishments.

@@marcusonesimus3400 Black Americans aren't nomadic, mostly Christians, yet they lag behind everyone else even non-Christian Asian immigrants. It's not about "nomadic" or Christian.

@@mychevysparkevdidntcatchfi1489 I never stated that black American were nomadic, did I? Lern to reed. What is 'lagging'? Define. Is it invariably a bad thing? If so, why? Perhaps you 'lag' in the development of certain valuable qualities, without realizing it. I can think of plenty of black Americans who did not or do not lag in excellence, in fields which they pursue. You sound like a bigot 'par excellence', and there is nothing excellent about that. A black American Christian is PRIVILEGED, because he or she will spend eternity with JESUS. Those who refuse to repent and believe in Jesus, regardless of ethnicity, are doomed. (John 3:18) 'He who believes in Him is not judged; but he who does not believed has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.' Do you consider it a good thing to be 'advanced' on the path to hell?

Marxism cannot deny its culture...so true. Thank you to you and all the other the people who are speaking out against the root issues of CRT. This radical approach (from the latin word Radix, to deal with the root) is so crucial. Culture comes from the root word "cult", which in latin is "cultis" and means "a form of worship". So what do the Marxist/Communist/Socialist worship? They create idols with their intellect. They exalt themselves and exalt others who agree with them. Karl Marx's best friend Bakunin had this to say about Karl Marx in his 1924 work called "Works": "One has to worship Marx in order to be loved by him. One has to fear him in order to be tolerated by him. Marx is extremely proud, up to dirt and madness." So whose the demigod now? A man who lived teaching ideas which through his disciples have oppressed nations, killed millions upon millions, destroyed economies, and whose ideology advances through manipulation and intimidation with the goal of domination. Can Mordecai Karl Marx, living amidst the evil in the world, solve the evil in the world when he is capable of penning words like his poem "Human Pride": "With disdain I will throw my gauntlet, Full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant, Whose fall will not stifle my ardour, Then will I wander godlike and victorious, Through the ruins of the world, And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator." I think people need to understand the author of Marxism/Communism/Socialism before it accepts the remade emperor's new clothes from Derrick Bell branded as "Critical Race Theory and his protoge Kimberlee Williams Crenshaw's Intersectionality. the fruit is in the seed. The intellectual Elite can wrap it up, mold it, shape it, feed it, grow it, share it, and even rebrand it but CRT is the same seed producing the same fruit as Karl Marx. An orange cannot produce an apple. A thorn cannot produce wheat. The fruit is in the seed. The moment a culture is built upon the seed of pride (I can do what I want", and mixed with the seed of arrogance (no one can tell me what to do), and then you water it with "the end justifies the means"...the only product is rebellion, revolution, and a bloody mess (Robspierre, if alive would probably agree.) So let's look at the dying words of Lenin, "I have committed a great error. My nightmare is to have the feeling that I'm lost in an ocean of blood from the innumerable victims. It is to late to return. To save our country, Russia, we would have needed men like Francis of Assisi..." Our constitution is built upon the antithesis of Marxism. the two cannot coexist. We need to stand and defend the principles which built this nation and though imperfect as it may be, is still the greatest nation on the planet and of all history.

I love the way this segment really delves into the issue and brings up a lot of very specific arguments against this critical crap. I come out of it feeling like I know a lot about it. There's nothing racist about celebrating this country as white and to fight to keep it that way forever through culture and laws. As another said, some people's culture and genetics are different and therefore they should be disqualified from making important decisions and it should be up to the rest of us superior people to decide what happens to them. How is that racist?

Stop it George. You can't talk about industries where black men have almost all the high paying jobs.

It's easier that way

I agree that victimization won't get anyone anywhere in life, but not all minorities have equal paths to success. There are several minority groups- Asians, Indians, and recently African immigrants who do very well in America. They have strong nuclear families, strong work ethics, and even when they live in poor, impoverished settings, their kids seem to keep out of trouble. This difference is largely due to a cultural component. However, I want to point out that for Black Americans, 400 years of slavery and 100 years of segregation and Jim Crow have destroyed many Black communities in urban settings. Historical redlining created every major ghetto in metropolitan cities, then mass incarceration destroyed the nuclear family. When you couple poverty with violence and drugs, I think it's challenging to say to a teenager raised by a single mother, surrounded by crime, drugs, and violence, to just work their way to the top and be successful. Most people reach success because of a strong mentor or positive role model or community to push them forward. Therefore, I think it's unfair to compare Asian minorities, who come to this country voluntarily, many maintain their language or culture, as well as the family system, to Black Americans who didn't come to this country voluntarily, and also had much of their customs, language, and culture stripped away from them. And even after the Civil War, faced massive systemic oppression by Whites, so much so that you can analyze from history most of the major areas that were segregated during Jim Crow have not recovered economically for the most part today. So while I have strong critiques for CRT, I think you have to find that balance between holding people accountable and understanding that past historic systemic racism still negatively impacts poor Black communities today.

@@wellnessforbodymindspirit108 So why was the black family doing better in the 70s before the welfare state? It is because they had a better culture and more responsible parenting. Slavery has nothing to do with it. It is the welfare state and other crappy liberal policies. They were actually better off during the Jim Crow era than they are now. Explain how that is possible if slavery is to blame? Democrats and liberal welfare policies have incentivized the black and even poor white families to depend on the state and not worry about being responsible or strive for anything better. You should look into Thomas Sowell he explains this in great detail.

@@kesh4171 makes perfect sense. I doubt they will respond to this

@@wellnessforbodymindspirit108 I agree with this. I dislike CRT because it does portray everyone as victims and has unintended consequences as is demonstrated by the above video, but people can't sweep their country's sordid history under the rug and pretend it was never a problem. But then on the flip side, I also have no idea what the hell would make it right. I have this intuition that continuing to talk about things in the past that are overly complex and have no clear direction to a suitable solution won't really get us anywhere and it just amplifies tensions and further drives a wedge between people, but it's also not really fair to not acknowledge it.

It's called determination bro

The problem with this is that education is open to the world (and so is immigration). Whites are only 8% of the world's population. If anything whites should get affirmitive action spots (they already do in the form of legacy admissions but that is only for rich white kids- I'm talking about intelligent white people from disadvantaged backgrounds or middle class whites).

In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.

And as long as we are talking about race which races were were being racist against you if you do not mind me asking?

Yes. Racism is taught. It seems that children under four have no concept of race. Racism is taught by people who have a vicious agenda.

And IQ.. but people are too scared to say that but it’s been scientifically proven..

@@West-rn-showvn-ist-chick I agree with the original comment but what science

@@West-rn-showvn-ist-chick Lol no it hasn't liar

@@chFRESCO Yes actually it has..

@@West-rn-showvn-ist-chick lol…because IQ causes success? Prove it.

LOL! Now that's funny.

😂😂😂😂

Lol 😂

At least you're honest, lol

b unangst Having two godly parents in the home confers special advantages, but even that does not guarantee 'success'. Nor is it utterly impossible for single parents to raise, by the grace of God, 'successful' children. For the race is not always to the swift. But what do you mean by 'success'? Earthly riches and glory? Jesus said that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.'

marcus onesimus yes there are no guarantees. Thomas Sowell has been referencing all this clear evidence for years. Two parents in the home gives the same huge advantage no matter what race you are. There are many studies and the data is clear.

@@bunangst8415 It's also worth noting that in most Asian cultures it's normal for grandparents to live with their children and grandchildren. So oftentimes Asian children will have 3 or 4 parental figures in their life.

@@bunangst8415 When did I actually denigrate the two-parent family? Never! I grew up in one myself, and remain grateful for that. I only asserted that there are many exceptions to the rule. Is that too hard to accept? Read the 18th chapter of Ezekiel if you are inclined to believe that early environment automatically predicts adult character and behavior. Try to avoid using the word 'data' like a mantra, as do acolytes of the cult of Scientism. Well, I used to study physical anthropology as a pastime, and can tell you that the concept of 'race' is NOT well articulated from a scientific standpoint. 'Race' as discussed in America (for example) has more to do with mythology and social perception than with biological reality. There is one thing which we know for certain, and here DNA science tends to converge with longstanding Biblical revelation. Humans of all 'races' share common ancestral lineage. (Acts 17:26) '...and [God] made from one man [one blood] every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation....'

'one parent in the room' is someone else's factor of 'success'

Exactly. He doesn't see the irony in his argument. It is clownery. Oh you succeed as much as whites because you work twice as hard... Why you gotta work twice as hard bro? He is literally making the argumbent that systemic racism exists. This whole interview reaks of self important. He knows that a segment of the population is willing to pay money or prop up any weak argument as long as it falls into their very small window of preconcieved reality, and even better so if it is a minority presenting it, because we have so few minorities who are willing to go against all the data just to hurt their own people.

@@ThreaT650 did you hear the part where Harvard is limiting Asian enrollment to even the playing field for minorities...? Just going to gloss over that inconvenient bit of racism eh? Maybe re-watch the interview I think you missed/misunderstood some important parts

@@ThreaT650 Why do they need to work twice as hard? Because they are overrepresented in schools and Engineering jobs so these institutions set up systematic barriers to make it harder for them to get accepted/hired.

@@ddh8624 they are so amazing that they are just boxing their shadows now. Seriously? Is that your argument in a nutshell?

@@ddh8624 your whole argument is wild. Claiming systemic racism does not exist, but then using a systemic racism argument to try and prove it.

America is built on anti-black racism, not anti-Asian, anti-Arab, anti-Armenian, anti-Hispanic or anti anything else. They know there is a lower class of people they will be assigned a place above, and won't be targets of resource deprivation and police brutality, so these other groups who already harbor anti-black sentiments before they get here, get right in line with the status quo.

Agreed. Those that see racism at every turn are, themselves, racist. Holding your hand out begging for "free" stuff, not accepting their own failures, and whining about being victims are poor excuses for human beings.

@@ladyecho7761 exactly!! 💯

@@ladyecho7761 I guess it's harder for black people who never had a choice in the matter. Asians weren't enslaved for almost 400 years in North America. Asians have also been given benefits that black people still don't have. Asians have never really considered minorities since they have joined the ranks. Trying to compare a broken people with a people who have completely different history and make up. Furthermore Asians also received reparations for discrimination in the past but guess who still waiting Black People....

Italians are white but mostly yes good examples

Canada hates people like you. Just look at your taxes and your welfare system punishing hard workers and rewarding the lazy.

Maybe...unfortunately though that means he hasn't felt the sting of systemic oppression like most of pocs and minorities have

@@mr.fahrenheit310 systemic oppression doesn't exist. It's a social construct made by socialists to push a narrative they use to exploit poor communities. Here's the reality: Most people who live in poverty don't grow up in a stable environment that fosters the skill, discipline, and mental development that is conducive to upward mobility. People who live in poverty live stagnant lives that stunts their minds during their developmental years. That's why it's hard for the poor to escape poverty. Most don't have the mentality and wisdom to move up. It is possible to escape poverty, but it's harder because it requires a certain mindset, and social graces and tact to fit in that they don't usually develop. Nonetheless, it can still be done, albeit it's much harder because it requires a certain mindset developed from a young age that they did not develop. Wealth is multi-generational. You want your children to be middle class, you need to leave a middle class life for your children to inherit. If you don't leave better for your kids, your kids will have to work longer to get ahead, and will enjoy life less. If you are poor, you are just going to have to work longer, and harder. That's just the way things are.

I am a Korean American. When I was visiting a temple in Cambodia a couple of years ago, one of the guards there asked me where I was from (probably assuming I'm from somewhere in East Asia). When I told him I was American, his eyes grew large and he told me I was so lucky and that his dream was to live in America. I will never forget that. It's easy to constantly complain about the things that are not great about America. But when I think about where I started as a kid - in an immigrant family that started with nothing and then think about where I am today - successful and close to early retirement, I feel so grateful and proud of being American. None of us should take it for granted.

I understand... In Cambodia, I believe spanking by the stick is legal. I am not so sure whether you can understand how many in this country need to tolerate nonsense from CPS. I don't blame many African-Americans' frustrations when Harvard is responsible for their nonsense research efforts saying that spanking is detrimental to mental health of a child. The massive increase of crime recently is proof that Harvard's research is seriously flawed. After all, many at Harvard can afford $3000 per month of childcare while the poor can't.

in other words get them to apply themselves.

@@CodyCha I had a classmate in college who dropped a business math class because she was getting a B in the class. That kind of extreme high standard is just going to hurt mentally and financially.

@@aznmochibunny As a fresh graduated with zero working experience, what have you got to convince a potential employer to take you in?

I bet you, no one would dare asked you the most common interview question of: "can you tell us what is your greatest achievement?" when your CGPA is 4.0! Dropping a class because you got a "B" is not waste of money, it was a wise investment!

My father always told me that "Your word must be your bond. If another does not keep their word, then no longer associate with them. You know that their words mean nothing."

What you said makes the most sense, here we are going back and forth and nobody wants to look at what the real problem is, the politicians, trying to get a vote by stoking fear. I tell you this, when they bombs us they bomb the United States of America.

Exactly. It's all about culture!

Conservatives think culture equals flags and guns, too bad they aren't the American flags, and they're probably not Made in America guns either. Curious.

@@polygraphliedetector Culture is just more than that. What is culture to you? Becoming a simp beta unable to provide and protect his family?

@@brandoncortezemmanuel357 Ironic your picture is defacing the American flag 😆

Well, objective fact according to Experts/Studied/Everything-valid is that some White have indeed manipulated History, hence why Students often have gotten Misinformation. Racism is not a ‚Ever done learning about it’-Topic anyway, so what? Sunday Towns and what is generally known about them are a good Example for this. 'Illuminatinaughtii' just made a video named 'Sunday Towns / Prism of the Past' about it.

I've made jokes like that. To be honest it isn't really to discredit your hard work it's literally that I recognize that on average an Asian American will work harder towards their goals. Really being stereotyped as hard working and smart is probably the best stereotype any ethnicity could hope for lol. I understand no one likes being stereotyped though so there is that.

Can you explain to me if there is no racial imbalance in America then why was your family so poor? Was your dad lazy? And despite working twice as hard as your white colleagues how do you explain the fact that you're not twice as successful?
