I just read an article that messed up my day

Sullivan claims CRT seeks to awaken people to the fact that liberalism is a lie. He is wrong. CRT seeks to awaken people to the fact the liberalism has been infected from the start with hatred in the form of white supremacy. That liberal ideals while worthy of reverence, have not been implemented properly. That Liberalism that elevates the ideals, perspectives, and experiences of one group of people and seeks to erase all others is in fact illiberal.

Hot Take!!! The cop pulled the trigger, but the system murdered Ma'Khia Bryant

We may look at the killing of Ma’Khia as justified, but that is because we’ve been indoctrinated with certain preconceptions about how police must act in a certain situations. We must re examine and reconsider these preconceptions.

The Recurring Trauma of Police Brutality

Even if Chauvin is convicted, justice for Black people is far from achieved. The evidence of this is the ongoing disproportionate murder of Black people at the hands of law enforcement for very trivial offenses.

The Persistence of White Supremacy (Part 2 of 4)

The Constitution of the United States and the formation of Congress could only be secured by compromises with white supremacy. These compromises embedded white supremacy into the foundation of America.

The Persistence of White Supremacy (Part 1 of 4)

The United States Government was ill equipped to deal with a racist insurrection because American has yet to recognize how widespread and embedded white supremacy is in the American cultural psyche. Ever since the beginning, America has been two nations. It has been a nation that aspires toward a diverse and inclusive democratic melting pot where all people are treated equally, but it has also been an exclusive anti-democratic nation based on white supremacy.
