The Right-Wing Disinformation Machine

This dude is Candace Owens' brother.  :lol:

This rant isn't even what critical race theory is about...

 

[ZRod]

I haven't read up on it, but I'm going to guess that Critical Race Theory is controversial and flawed, but probably a better starting point for the discussion than removing the word "slave" from Texas school books and replacing it with "workers." 

It's not really even a theory. It's more a frame work of discussion about the history of racism in America and it's socioeconomic and legal aspects. It's just another frame of reference for looking at how the system affects people based on race (something everyone already does).

Hmmmm...wonder why Republicans have such a problem with discussion about race and how it affects people differently.

Please tell me this isn't true.

Please tell me this isn't true.

Will it make you feel better if I tell you it's only a slight exaggeration?

Or that even conservatives think Texas schoolbook propaganda goes too far?

The way he's going on about the CIA trying to "ruin" him makes me think there's something out there that he would be potentially ruined by. 

It's a bit of the Streisand Effect. I wasn't really thinking about this until Tucker brought it up. Now I'm wondering why he's bringing it up.

not far from the truth
