Your typical American Troglodyte gets this confused with the 1619 project. That is what they're worried about.

I’m so sorry…. But I’m not trying to be hateful but it’s hard not to hate YT people

I especially enjoy the cherry picker upset about cherry picking. Treating people differently due to immutable physical traits, is, will always be, wrong, no matter the justification.
It, by nature, puts some people above others by fiat

I look forward to seeing John’s response to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.

He not even mentions Biden or democratic party. What shit!

Tired of listening to minorities snivel that life only rains on them . Grow up ..

“It’s a manufactured rage,” -John Stewart
Not exactly John, I have been through college as a communications student. For years I have listened to teachers and professors telling me that because of my skin tone that I’m privileged, despite knowing nothing about me. I have witnessed biological horrors that would put you in psych wards. I have felt migraines that would have you begging for death. I have had days where I starved because if I even tried to drink water, I would end up vomiting it up not even 30 minutes later. This would lead to days of endless dry heaving, where I beg food just so I could heave something up. You have no idea what suffering is.

No one reasonable is objecting to teaching history they're objecting to the material in schools that talk about things like "whiteness" and the dangers it poses. Thats racism being taught in schools, and does nothing to educate anyone.

There is something very unsettling and wrong feeling about CRT.

Could someone please tell me how black folks are oppressed in this country?

Maybe fund public education properly and you won't need "school choice" sending your tax dollars to "for profit" voucher schools…. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure, proper education reduces prison populations, its cheaper to educate a kid than to incarcerate an adult.

Very hard to watch the Uber-liberal shit post covid.

Democrats are the real racist in this country.

How could this be anyone's favorite anything first of all I'm tired of hearing people that aren't even from America tell us what's wrong with America I tell you what how about y'all fight your own damn wars and start spending some money on your own military instead of us having to watch you all the time. And second of all what in the hell is this dude talking about critical race theory is the most racist ignorant stupid ass thing they have ever come up with. Do you know the easiest way to tell is because they always have some half black half white lady that says that her parents were impressed in slavery dude your parents one of them is a rich white guy and the other one is a black lady that if you talk to her you addictions so get the hell out of here

I’ll save you 28 mins: crt is good because there is still racism out there. Wow very deep reasoning

I love John Oliver!

What's the difference between john oliver and a refrigerator?
The fridge doesn't fart when you pull the meat out..

I do think the original video of the "Blue eyes, Brown eyes" film should be shown all over. The one that was done the day after Martin Luther King was assinated. The class was all white kids and you could really see the effect bias had on children who are treated with prejudice, harsh judgement, and resentment.

"School choice" is just code for defunding public schools and enriching charter schools. Charter schools basically take your tax-dollars and send them to private schools with no oversight.

You should be proud of your history regardless.

A 28 minute video about CRT and you never actually talk about what CRT actually is. The crazy thing I've noticed is how people who defend this racist and divisive ideology can't properly define it. They claim its history but CRT is taught in universities in LAW SCHOOL, not history class! Because its a F"KING THEORY about how to look at things in society, its not history!

Growing up in the 50s and 60s, I attended segregated, then integrated school in Va. I saw the separate bathrooms, water fountains, the poll taxes, read of lynchings, the burning of crosses, black churches. To rebell against my bigoted racist parents I made friends with African American kids. All this happened in my lifetime, they've come a long way, but IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO! Unable to live in white suburbs, relegated to city housing projects, ghettos, whites are still responsible for their plight. I tried to become a better human being than my parents, today I have mixed race grand and great grandkids who I love dearly and they love their long haired white pawpaw. I lived through it, whats wrong with learning about it? After all, lil racists come from big ones! The adults STILL don't want their kids to intermingle and "color" their family tree. The small town neighborhood I grew up in is STILL all white today

the problem with blacks is that they will never forgive slavery and they always feel like they deserve more because of it…when they realize that slavery in america doesnt happen anymore and that they are responsible for themselves..then they will move forward

What a disingenuous segment. Oliver doesn't seem to know that CRT specifically questions equality under the law (Richard Delgado) or that CRT's offsprings in school lead to re-segregation, ascribing blood guilt, or teaching that every difference between groups of people is evidence of phantom racism drifting around in the air. Oliver job is to sell left-wing ideas through humor and mockery. Just a dishonest hack.

Any public opposition is biased, they don't sue over solid horrors like child labor but yet they do over grad-level CRT. Both are issues in America. The bias (here) then clearly lies in some opposition to race-tied teachings, conveniently none directed at Christian or Caucasian subject matters but solely at deconstructing alternative belief- or race-tied information. A cruel form of hypocrisy, in need of extra references and justifications bcs as I just demonstrated it promptly implodes into racism when laid bare in essentials..

There are young black men that have violence issues, not all of them, but enough to matter.

God its refreshing to see how Russia is literaly invading Ukranian as we speak and america is still argueing among themselves when it comes to religion and racism.

The feminist mass-public that vilifies cisgender straight white men and adolescent boys needs to stop. Now. We are not inherently pathological.

this is all just a way to distract from the country burning down around us. now…get back to work drones.

I'm always astounded by just how dense Americans are when it comes to race… when they talk about "not turning schools into indoctrination camps", a part of me believes they don't want THEIR indoctrination camps to be turned into schools.

That's the only logical explanation for why, like 50 years after the Civil Rights Movement, the situation has only seen marginal improvements.

The vilification of cisgender straight white men or boys must stop.

If you have no idea what it means
Don’t teach it

I loved going to a Charter School much more than the homophobia in the student body in public middle schools around 2003-2005.

Imagine a world without fox news.

The reach to make this 'Patty' look bad is revealing. Assuming that she assumes people dress bad by simply positing that perhaps treatment is happening along those bases is dishonest. So many words are being put in her mouth and people will disengage because of it. You cant just tell people to be uncomfortable. That's not how humans work.

If the media quits talking about Trump, and starts trying to talk about another potential candidate, maybe another Republican will rise, and they are more competent states-persons.

If you ever wonder what a Motte and Bailey Fallacy is, you need look no further than this video. Look up James Lindsay videos and he’ll explain exactly what CRT is and won’t obfuscate like John Oliver is here.

It is Marxist. Why is Marx totally wrong?

You're only hearing about it on Fox.

When I went to school I learned all about the brutality of slavery and the racism that followed after. I also learned about the debate on why the civil war was even fought in the first place and definitely what was prevailing in the zeitgeist was that it was in large part over slavery, although I do remember a few teachers who would argue against that and say states rights, which both are technically true right? I don't really understand what's different about what I learned 15 years ago and what kids are learning today, it should be the same discussion, the history didn't change.

Lol, if a purple haired transgender spoke about feeling uncomfortable in class then the left would defend her and say the right are intolerant. Both sides are hypocritical liars who have their own agenda.

In 1965 the writer Alex Haley interviewed King for an interview that ran in Playboy Magazine.
Haley asks him about an employment program to help "20,000,000 Negroes."
After expressing his approval for it, King estimates that such a program would cost $50 billion.
Haley then asks:
"Do you feel it's fair to request a multibillion-dollar program of preferential treatment for the Negro, or for any other minority group?"
King:
"I do indeed.
Can any fair-minded citizen deny that the Negro has been deprived? Few people reflect that for two centuries the Negro was enslaved, and robbed of any wages–potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. It is an economic fact that a program such as I propose would certainly cost far less than any computation of two centuries of unpaid wages plus accumulated interest. In any case, I do not intend that this program of economic aid should apply only to the Negro; it should benefit the disadvantaged of all races." Haley asks him about possible resentment from white people, and he says that the poor white man ought to be "made to realize that he is in the very same boat with the Negro….Together, they could form a grand alliance."

Stopped watching him a few years ago – thanks for being reminded why – what a disingenuous take on it. Why not simple call all the parents worrying about this national terrorists.

I just want to say I love White Christians and I hate thugs👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks for lying, CRT is communist propaganda like you and we all know it, youre just solidifying our votes.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm a leftist but so sick of everything woke.
