You're not seriously trying to justify the subjugation of an entire race of Americans with the argument that others have done similar things, are you?Empire building?
Is that how you're defining white supremacy?
......
Every group that has ever engaged in empire building has done this....Aztecs, Comanche....you name it.
Same question as above.Ok...so not empire building. You're talking specifically about laws and practices that discriminated against non-whites.
Would it surprise you to find whites also discriminated against whites?
If white supremacy is a fact and especially if it still exists, what is the objection to telling students of this fact in history class?Once again white supremecy is NOT being denied. And no one is saying white supreme y is over. Cause there are white supremacists out there saying it's not.
Your beliefs are transparent because they are determined by political fashion.
I only have to quote rhetoric to describe what you believe.
If that makes you easy to predict, that's on you.
Yeah ...you've only got criticism for whites.
You posted screenshots whose authenticity is dependent on that activist whose blog you got them from.Right...that's why I didn't quote an activist, I posted screenshots.
Wrong about what?Would you admit that you are wrong if I provided that?

"See? They do it too!" is sometimes the only strategy to defend the indefensible...
Wrong about what?
I see no reason to disparage nonwhites merely to appease you -- even if you were a censor.
The white race has plenty of champions as it is -- and I have no desire to be associated with those "champions."
I didn't say disparage, did I? I said criticize.
Is there some group that is beyond all criticism? Our moral superiors?
Why not just change your race then? If it's a social construct like gender....why can't you just decide you feel like another race?
If it's not unique to whites, why are we calling it white supremacy?
There's nothing specifically white about it.
You don't want criticism, you want distraction.
Why should I? To appease you?
It is called "white supremacy" when the basis for the unequal treatment is whiteness.It's not a justification. I'm simply pointing out that such behavior is true of all humans in history....so I don't see why we would call it "white supremacy".
And about the wider extent of the appeal of groups like that? And about the effects of that appeal that are still visible today? If you have no problem telling children about that, then you have no problem with CRT.I have no problem with schools telling children about groups like the KKK.
I said that CRT, meaning the graduate level course that has been studied for decades, is not generally taught in elementary, middle, or high school. But a more age-appropriate teaching of a similar concept may very well be taught in some places. But it is not CRT. The outrage is over a supposedly wide-spread problem. However no evidence of a wide-spread problem has been shown. Since you are unable to provide a primary source for the one "smoking gun" screenshot that you are staking your whole argument on, we really don't have anything to go on except the manufactured outrage from groups hoping to benefit politically from it.CRT being in schools.
Because we call it "white" supremacy when whites do it.
This cannot be difficult to understand...
It is called "white supremacy" when the basis for the unequal treatment is whiteness.
I want everyone to see you're already being censored. It's just a different group of people than the ones you complain about that are censoring you.
I'm curious how you intend to teach this stuff. You'll have multiracial students. Are you going to tell someone they're 3/8ths oppressor?
What is all this definition quibbling about? I am reminded of the arguments used by the Lady of the Green Kirtle in The Silver Chair as she set about confusing and bewitching Eustace, Jill, Rilian, and Puddleglum over their knowledge of things they knew very well.So the trans-Atlantic slave trade isn't "white supremacy" until sometime in the mid 1800s?
