“We know the primary reasons why—systemic racial inequities and implicit bias—and the consequences are both very real.”

Leftists and statists use the word “know” where others would use the words “assume”, “suspect”, “wish”, “hope” or “insist”. It’s astonishing how much they “know”.

Terence McKenna was brilliant on this point--(paraphrasing)--"Nowhere is it written that hairless apes are entitled to _know_ anything."

He also pointed out that those who are most certain they _know_ things are most likely to be totally wrong about those things.

History has been brutal to those who claimed they "knew" the right answer.

Exactly. There is no causal relationship shown.

There is only an assertion, presented as fact.

They assume it to be true, therefore, in their eyes, it *must* be true.

There is good reason for Critical Race Theory to recheck the concepts of truth and logic.

Critical Race theory does not hold up when they are applied.

As Ronnie would say “It’s just that so much of what they ‘know’..just isn’t so”
