I'm not gonna even bother to download it illegally.How does the simple fact that chattel slavery was an important part of the formation of what was to become the United States constitute a religion?
The Virginia election kind of proved CRT correct. Youngkin used a coded racist election stunt to get elected. Everyone including the MSM just ran with the line had ran on education.
When I was a reporter covering the Love Canal aftermath, state and federal officials used to hold community meetings that they creepily called "Public Participation Meetings."
We accurately called them "Public Pacification Meetings."
Anyone who thinks Black people in America have not had it hard since they were brought over here in chains simply cannot see the visual records of brutality in enslavement, lynchings throughout the South up until the 1960's (and even currently as shown on the news), is simply denying what is right in front of them. This is purposeful blindness to the obvious. It serves only one purpose - pretending it never happened.
Cats hide under chairs thinking no one will see them even when their tails are sticking out. My conclusion is that many people are simply no more aware than the common house cat. (apologies to house cats for making this comparison because otherwise cats are pretty darned smart.)
Apparently in the the U.K. in the early part of the last century the word had less weight than in this country, and appeared in children's books and rhymes (Eeny, meeny, miny, moe being another). While commonly used verbally in some places in the U.S., it was rarely seen in print, as it was still largely considered vulgar even by white people who had no objections to racial disparity, but this does not seem to be the case in the U.K. There seems to have been less objection in the American South as well, as it is still shocking to see news interviews from the 1960s where white people use it so casually when discussing civil rights efforts, as if it were interchangeable with "colored" or "negro" without any added invective.

and the last damn day of the year, too. 2021 had to go out on a shitty note.

When will the rubes realize this whole CRT-Cancel Culture thing has been a ruse to distract them from the caravans?
I’m choosing to see it as one final prank from her to us. RIP, Betty.
Coopting is all they've got. It's like the anti-masker/anti-vaxxers screaming "my body, my choice" with no irony whatsoever.
OK, that broke me.

That was the original English title, it was changed when first printed in the the U.S.
"Public Persuasion Campaign" is very creepy sounding.
Or at least until her 100th, which is mere weeks away.
Even being noted spelled that way rather than PATRIOT Act, which is its real gubmint name, an acronym.
Elie Mystal has something to say about his premise: https://www.washingtonpost....
reminds me of Sid Vicious' version of "My Way."
