CNN: ‘Panic’ over Critical Race Theory Because White People ‘Afraid They Might Be Complicit in Racism’
Breitbart ^ | July 06 2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 07/06/2021 11:38:27 PM PDT by knighthawk

CNN has found an explanation for what it calls the nationwide “panic” over Critical Race Theory: white people are “afraid that they might be complicit in racism” and that they will be “blamed for their ancestors’ crimes,” the network reported Tuesday.

CNN has been defending Critical Race Theory for nearly a decade, ever since Andrew Breitbart and Breitbart News brought it to national attention. Then as now, CNN portrayed opposition to the theory as the product of white people’s irrational fears, rather than reasoned objection.

In a story and video by New York-based correspondent Elle Reeve, and video producers Deborah Brunswick and Samantha Guff, CNN claims, without evidence, that conservatives use “Critical Race Theory” to mean “any instruction about the role of race in America, past or present.”

All of society’s ills blamed on one group because of genetics.

We have seen this before.

They are the people I warned my children about.

Why is the black race over represented and the CNN broadcasters not reflective of the percentages of individual races in the population?

CNN is racist and their bias shows.

I’d rather be considered “complicit in racism” by Cultural Marxist scumbags and the equally mindless useful idiots who carry their water than be liked by any of them or try to be liked by any of them.

Indeed, to be hated by the Left for whom there is nothing remaining of the old extreme Left that’s extreme to them anymore shows you must be doing something correct.

The only thing “panicking” is CNN.

This kind of crap is why CNN is failing.

Rather than attempting to present news each ‘talent’ is trying to use shock to get noticed.

CRT is a Communist ploy designed to fracture and bust up our national will along racial lines. They have already succeeded in the destruction of black families.

I’m supposed to be afraid that people the same color as me did bad things in the past?

How about Critical Christian Theory:

Deuteronomy 24:16
Romans 3:23

Once again CNN destroys their credibility. They fail to realize and recognize that the supermajority of White Conservatives have never been White Supremacists and that they eschew racism. One doesn’t have to be a Conservative to realize this. One just has to be honest.

I think LBJ and his great new society social engineering is 100% responsible for the destruction of the black family and accordingly the birth right of the dickweeds in blm.
BLMs problem is they have regressed to being africans, not americans.

If you go to africa, you will soon understand their failures as africans. Their great oppressor is the chief. Africa failed due to the fact that the political spine is still in place after millions of years. Its the communal spirit of tribalism that makes them readily embrace marxist ideals.

Neither system has worked.

MLK Jr. called out this black nationalist crap in the 1960s. He said it was every bit as wrongheaded as the KKK.

white people are “afraid that they might be complicit in racism” and that they will be “blamed for their ancestors’ crimes,”

Have had virtually no interactions - personal, professional, or otherwise - with Blacks during my lifetime; there simply weren't any around where I grew up. And my interactions with Latinos, etc. were indistinguishable from my interactions with Whites.

Further, my father's ancestors came to the U.S. only in 1913. My mother's ancestors came in the 1850s, but they never again ventured more than 100 km from the little town in Minnesota where they were homesteading.

So: Hard pass! I have absolutely no such fears.

Regards,

The ChiCom propaganda machine has distributed its narrative of the day to its puppet networks. CRT’s immediate goal is the payment of reparations to blacks as ransom to temporarily release white kids held hostage in public schools. After that CRT will continue down Kendi X’s prescription of discrimination against whites, reeducation camps and ultimately genocide.

The communists, harpies, Marxists, and Democrats support the FALSE premise that ALL whites are racists. That is wrong and they know it!

How do you deal with vicious, hate filled people at CNN? How do you deal rationally with someone with a clearly disordered mind?

You judge people by the content of their character, NOT the color of their skin.
