So, in a case like this where details matter, it's important to get them right.

Oh? Distinction without a difference is important?
It's not an accurate quote either way.
Which was my poin- the not, never, whatever
was simply made up, what gwb might call a false
misrepresentation.

Government, Education (so called), and Business becoming one hive mind, preaching the same warped message du jour.

It really does have dogmatic reasoning. Good white allies don't think critically, offer opinions, or commit the worst of all sins....disagree with a non-white person on anything related to race. White allies aren't there to be valued for their minds or even their actions really.

It seems pretty degrading if you think about it and I used to wonder why anyone would want to be an "ally" in the new liberal "cult."

It appears that most people call themselves ally as a result of shaming and blaming them....and threats of being removed from the cult.

Are you suggesting that the media is representing this situation in a false manner? When did they start doing that?
Depends on which media you're referring to. Those that talk the most about Fake News are the most guilty ...

There's no such thing as cultural/ racial Marxism.

Sure there is....Marxist theory is traditionally based on class divisions, but it can be applied to racial or cultural divisions.


I tend to agree...I don't think anything is inherently evil or good. I can see why people believe that Marxism is inherently evil though. Every time communism has been tried...it's an atrocity. Even if it was capable of succeeding....it would require an almost total loss of liberty.

"The program suggests that white people are guilty of “white privilege” and “internalized racial superiority,” the belief that “one’s comfort, wealth, privilege and success has been earned by merits and hard work” rather than through the benefits of systemic racism."
Walmart CRT Training Encourages Employees to Accept That ‘White Is Not Right’

I could see this backfiring against Walmart since the employees are being trained to not work hard while employed by Walmart. Cuz that'd be racist.

Not really....I've seen multiple articles about "how to be a good ally". I think I'm describing the term pretty accurately.

"Whitesplaining" is a racist term the left came up with a few years ago to describe a white person who disagrees with a non-white person on racial issues and is willing to explain why. There's also the term "white fragility" that gets used to describe these uppity whites who just won't agree that they're immoral racists.

Then say "class" which of course in Marx's day was far more
spark than now.
Don't use conspiracy theory terms if you ont mean
it or want to be taken seriously. Here is no cultural
or racial Marxism. Accept your mistake, learn from it,
and move on.

Class. That was what arxism is about. Oppressed working class ( non existent in America now) V the fat cat capitalists. Not race and culture!

Did you not say Marxism is evil? Good yiu see it is not.

As for it being tried? It's never been tried.

The free market capitalism that the USA so fervently
exports isn't so hot either.

Neither free market capitalism and democracy or Marxism
come anywhere near to their ideals.

Don't blame the ideas for the actions of people who
cannot act in good faith.

Looked like some real broad brush strokes, all of which was
racial stereotyping, to which you added more.

So it seemed to me.

But then I'm not white.

Lol right?

Denying me a three hour lunch break is white supremacistic.

I don't think creating a hostile work environment by blaming everything on white people is good for anyone....white, black, or Walmart.

What stereotyping did I do?

I was just describing the concept of "white allyship" as I've seen it described by the people who use the term.

I brought it up in reference to another poster's comment about the religious nature of present day left wing political ideology. I think the religion comparison exists because the reasoning is increasingly dogmatic the longer the left embraces identity politics.

Didn't say you were the author, just that the statements are stereotyping.

You understand that Walmart isn't giving racial history lessons, right?

The left wing media had tried to paint parental opposition to CRT as something that had to do with "accurate portrayals of history"....but that was just misinformation.

CRT is a racial worldview that assumes the US is a racist nation, white people are immoral racist oppressors, and non-white people are moral and oppressed by whites and US society through "systems" and "structures" and "biases".

It pretends to be a "analytical framework" or "lens" for analyzing racism in the US....but that's not really true, and I'm pretty sure I can prove it.
