Was this Derek Bell or MLK?
âAnd this leads me to say something about another discussion that we hear a great deal, and that is the so-called âwhite backlashâ. I would like to honestly say to you that the white backlash is merely a new name for an old phenomenon. Itâs not something that just came into being because of shouts of Black Power, or because Negroes engaged in riots in Watts, for instance. The fact is that the state of California voted a Fair Housing bill out of existence before anybody shouted Black Power, or before anybody rioted in Watts.â
then someone is taking it in the wrong direction. CRT or anything âcriticalâ in this sense is not needed to teach about what really was
theres no need to explain âwhyâ any particular part of history is taught. teach it all. everything gets included. all the gory details too
because then white people (democrats) were still oppressing
there was black plight
if youre telling me that mlk actually didnt want to see beyond race, this slaps mlk in the face
What would be the purpose of teaching history without teaching the why?
You honestly think history is just names, dates and events?
It"s not teaching at all.
true. good point
did MLK say what i quoted?
yes or no
Who said this?
âSo there can be no separate black path to power and fulfillment that does not intersect white groups. There can be no separate white path to power and fulfillment short of social disaster. It does not recognize the need of sharing that power with black aspirations for freedom and justice. We must come to see now that integration is not merely a romantic or esthetic something where you merely add color to a still predominantly white power structure. Integration must be seen also in political terms where there is shared power, where black men and white men share power together to build a new and a great nation.â
âsure mlk said those things in that amazing speech but none of it matters becauseâŚâ
Because in most cases nobody is honest about the âwhyâ?
Why should 90% of the population be taught history through the lens of 10%?

If people canât force Marxist inspired interpretations on everything are they really free?
Be careful, youâre going to let the cat out of the bag⌠

âBut not only that, weâve got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bankâwe want a âbank-inâ movement in Memphis. So go by the savings and loan association. Iâm not asking you something we donât do ourselves at SCLC. Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Weâre just telling you to follow what weâre doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance companies in Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an âinsurance-in.â

Being anti CRT isnât a defense of âwhite cultureâ. Not sure where you got that. Itâs a defense of equal rights without teaching blacks that some imagined system keeps them down or that the kid sitting down the aisle has better grades in math because of his privilege.
That way leads to nothing but resentmentâŚon both sides.

It was MLK.
How stupid do conservatives think black people are that we canât learn about the âblack codesâ without thinking that we today are oppressed in the same way.
Or that we canât learn about modern day criminal justice impacts without wanting to be criminals.
Or that we canât learn about redlining without thinking that there is no point in trying to buy a house in 2021 because we will be redlined.
How come I donât see a reply to this? 
He also said what I quoted and what Purpl quoted.
