Critical Race Theory arose in the mid-to-late 1980's so it's hard to see it as central to Marxism which is from the late 19th/early 20th century. Now, I'm assuming there is some possibility that critical theory in general and epistemic philosophy has been leveraged by some in Marxist philosophy...

Perhaps you should listen to what black people are telling you. (Not just the ones who say things you like to hear).

...unless one is black, then it comes in less than for white people. God saw fit to grant white Americans a higher median income than black Americans. He does, indeed, work in mysterious ways.

Well, again, if the BLM statement of beliefs said things I didn't like I'd probably find them offensive. But I also wouldn't go adding in made-up accusations of what they stand for. Thankfully most of what they stand for sounds pretty cool to me. If you can show me where the organization...

Just like original sin. You didn't commit it, Adam and Eve did...so why would it matter to you? I wouldn't dare ask you to look at the benefits you have in your life that you didn't earn. Because unlike every other human being on earth you probably earned every single good thing that came to you.

Not really. I mean they do NOT say the organization is Marxist. While some of the founders may have marxist leanings or consider themselves marxist I don't see much in their actual STATEMENT OF WHAT BLM STANDS FOR that says it is dedicated to the destruction of capital and devolving the means...

...my own.

Gotta confess it took me a few minutes to get this. LOL! So going to use it now.

If I were a prayin' man I'd pray to God that it isn't. Well that sounds TOTALLY un-American. Our President doesn't believe in that! LOL! Our President believes a woman is a fungible asset to be traded out whenever he gets bored. Or they are responsible for raising his offspring while he...

America. (I've actually lived in the midwest, northeast, south, southeast, southwest and northwest. So I've been around. A lot)

I wish I understood why the simple acceptance that black lives matter has proven to be the most terrifying concept to white America.

Thanks for passing that along. I'm sure it is a comfort to lay the blame at others' feet. Like "fatherlessness" (even when most black fathers DO live with their children). But, facile excuses help absolve us and it help us, as MLK noted, maintain our "tranquility". The sleep of the just. We...

I like your straightforward approach of simply writing people off without needing to support your position. It is refreshing. So how do you explain the facts that black people have a statistically lower median income than whites and it has been so for decades? How do you explain the fact that...

Can I ask you if your variant of Christianity believes in "original sin"? How is the idea that you might have gotten advantages from a racist system and by simply enjoying those advantages been complicit in that system's racism so hard to handle in comparison? I am not going to point out...

Well, let me take a moment here to point out that if you believe a sin is "imaginary" and hence not really to be attributed to the sinner, then it is pointless to "repent". Let us for a moment say I'm sitting in front of the Throne of Judgement and God says "Istodolez, you stand accused of...

Can we include repentance for being complicit in a racist system that has, for too long, kept minorities at a systemic disadvantage?

.....

There are a LOT of black people who say VERY differently. So you have just said you aren't going to listen to those black people. You only want to listen to the black people who say things that confirm your bias.

He used to be a registered Democrat (circa 2001) A man who was technically made a millionaire at age 8 by his incredibly wealthy father is, pretty much, by definition, an "elitist". His entire fortune rested on Fred Trump's support. In fact he specifically wanted to go to Wharton because it...

LOL. SMALL NUMBERS! Clever! (Not sure where you got your number, here's what Johns Hopkins says) But if you are not impressed with the death rate so far, and you were to take 3 minutes to send your condolences to all the families of Americans who have died from COVID in the past 5 months...
