CRT: No, not a fan

The “critical race theory” is hogwash. All humans are one race — human. There are different people groups, but anatomically, under our outer covering, we all have the same anatomical structures.

In every people group throughout history some have enslaved others. It was not until African Blacks were captured by other Blacks, sold to Whites, and brought to the Americas for slave labor that Whites developed the idea of race. This resulted from Darwin’s fictional evolutionary tree of different peoples with Whites at the top and Blacks at the bottom.

Aboriginal people were displayed in Human Zoos until at least 1940. Human zoos exhibited people from Africa, the Pacific and Asia. Original people were captured to be exhibited alongside animals across Europe and North America.

During the Tulsa “Race” Massacre (1921), White residents burned to the ground more than 35 square blocks of Greenwood, a predominantly Black area with a population of 10,000, leaving perhaps 300 dead. Destroyed were 108 business establishments including two newspapers, 41 groceries and meat markets, 30 cafes and restaurants, offices for 33 professionals including 15 physicians and attorneys, clothing stores, funeral parlors, billiard halls, hotels, barbershops, hairdressers, shoemakers, tailors, nightclubs, two movie theaters, a library and a hospital.

The last documented lynching by the KKK (their major method to produce fear) was 19-year-old Michael Donald in 1981 in Mobile, Ala. 2020 had numerous reports of Black men found hanging, supposedly suicides, but regarded by Blacks as lynchings.
