John and Glenn, I always enjoy your conversations, they do stimulate the brain waves as you come to these discussions with great nuance and perspective.
But at what point are you willing to discuss the source of the racial movements as they are today and how this is a device tailored to keep society segmented?
Often it feels you two approach these subjects as if they are organic growths out of society in general, but in truth they are carefully crafted and constructed social puzzles to keep the 95% chewing on each other's ears.
There is another level there if you want to peel off some layers....
CRT is a misunderstood term that is now being used to block Black students from learning their history. Books about Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Roberto Clemente are banned. Black parents are paying taxes to fund schools but their children are forced to listen to a history based on the Lost Cause. This dismissal of Black history is coming from social engineers. Most of this social engineering is coming from people who label themselves Conservative.
Actually most conservatives are offended by the CRT rhetoric about White privilege and Whites as oppressors and really aren’t that interested in race politics until they are accused and harassed as being racists and guilty of either things all cultures did at some time or place in the history of man. Conservatives are also tired of having their money go to failed schools with over paid teachers that have failed multiple generations of Blacks. To cities like Philly where we average 10 murders a week and over 2000 black on black shootings a year. CRT is Marxist and Equity is about redistribution of dollars until every person has the same number of dollars.
Conservatives like to bend terms to fit their delusions. Black history is being banned in public schools supported by the tax dollars of Black parents. Hurt feelings are used to ban teaching about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. Black students spent decades in the classroom learning the myth of the Lost Cause. The main message was that Blacks were enslaved and had to wait for the white man to rescue them. The so-called education emasculated the men. Then there is surprise when they look for help from without.
The were no lessons about the battles fought against slavery on the continent of Africa. The history of shipboard rebellions were hidden. The history of rebellions by enslaved Black people against the slave holders was kept secret. All of this was done to create a docile population
Now that Blacks demand a true telling of history, it is now magically CRT and Communist. This is the same vile charge leveled against Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Those who argued against Civil Rights in the past are no different than those who whine “Woke, Woke, Woke, Woke, Woke. today
There is a huge difference between wanting equality and wanting equity. You didn’t deny that equity is about equal outcomes. Btw Whites pay taxes to educate black kids too (and I am following your form of capitalizing one race over another and not treating them as equaling deserving of capitalization).

"they are carefully crafted and constructed social puzzles to keep the 95% chewing on each other's ears"
By whom? And to what end?
Where did CRT come from? Where did this whole trans movement come from? Where did feminism as we know it today come from?
By whom? Social engineers. To what end? To engineer society.
