We're still waiting for you to acknowledge that George Washington was an a-hole.

He was. He was brutal, and had no compunction about using the lash (unlike the Brits, however, he avoided rum and sodomy afaik) or execution of deserters.

CRT teachings are very clear that Washington was a jerk.

I might have read somewhere that he owned slaves, not that I believe that, of course.

So we can expect D.C. to be renamed soon???

Georgetown sounds good to me.

Baltimore has more of a legitimate claim to a new name than D.C. if you follow that line of thinking.

Which white people in history aren’t jerks according to CRT?

I don’t get where you stop without rewriting our entire history and the history of the world. But of course if you do that tons of people of color don’t fare well.

In fact it might be discovered that every political system that achieved dominance is inherently flawed.

I get so confused what I am supposed to learn.

You, personally, as an adult human, are not supposed to learn anything. You are a necessary loss, sacrificed to the win of the younger minds.

The younger minds are to learn that history began at the point that people started doing bad things. The worst of those bad things was American slavery. Now, the small portion of human existence proceeding that original sin, must atone for it, by not being politically conservative.

I have thought this through with the young savants in my life.

I tell them they are pikers making fun of boomers. At their age I had already learned to not trust anyone over 30. If they looked at our culture in the 1970’s they still have a long way to catch up and they really haven’t invented anything new under the sun except maybe if you have to bake a wedding cake for everyone.
