Critical Race Theory
#34
RE: Critical Race Theory
There was a sitcom back around 2005 called "Everybody hates Chris".  It was a quasi-autobiographical show featuring Chris Rock as a young black boy who lived in a poor neighborhood but was bussed to a more affluent part of town to go to a better school populated mostly by white students.  Of course the show featured a lot of interactions between Chris and various white people that demonstrated how his race affected his experiences.  There were plenty of other black characters as well and this was also a big part of his experiences.  I see this New Kid book as a toned down version of that show.  At the time, I don't remember anyone complaining about the show and it was pretty popular, but I wonder if anyone now would object to such a show on TV or allowing their white kids to stream the show.  The content is much the same and even the tone is similar, both clearly humorous.

One thing the show did not do, in my opinion, is depict black people as absolutely innocent and white people as absolutely nefarious.  I think it did a good job of depicting people as individuals with both good and bad tendencies.  Some white and black characters were clearly bad people, but even those had complicated personas and weren't just cardboard cutouts.

The only reason I mention this is for comparison purposes.  People of all races become artists in various ways and artists tend to put their personal experiences into their work.  Some of us find value in learning about life experiences of people not like ourselves.  EHC is such a show, just as New Kid is such a book.  What I object to is a segment of the white population (and its only white people who are doing this) that declares these types of works to be dangerous to their children and seeks to oppress them.

What I expect of people is that they know a little something about what they are talking about.  I know that's a high expectation for someone like you who, clearly, like to blow off at the mouth about any subject whether you know anything about it or not.  So, if you don't know what you are talking about, you should just shut the fuck up.

And for the record, "all that reading"?  New Kid is basically a comic book.  Sorry you can't be bothered to read a single comic book.  And I posted an audio version.  Wow, you really do put a lot into life, don't you?  Good luck with that.
Why is it so?
