-Great Cultural Revolution
A Tiny Step Forward at Bobby's House
2021-12-15
[Personal] Several weeks ago, the Loudon Country CRT issue boiled over (in my mind) enough to mention it to my wife of 50 years, whose political views have diverged from my own over the last ten years or more. I asked her if she had heard of Critical Race theory.

Yes, she informed me, that was taught in some college-level course, that was all. "Not in high schools", I asked? No, no ... so - OK, end of discussion.

Karma intervened, and the next day, I sent her a copy of an article about the CRT blowup in the Ft. Worth schools, just 30-40 miles from where we live. Response — Crickets.

Tonight (12/14), the local CBS news (relatively even handed, and her local favorite) had a story about the heated CRT issue in Ft. Worth schools. I didn’t say a word, but she offered, "I used to think this was just taught in university; it’s very complicated."

I said, "No, it’s very simple. It’s all about race, which is not what Martin Luther King taught." The crickets circled around me and I went to bed. I hope she remembers King's statement about being 'judged by the content of your character, not the color of your skin.'

But I made a dent in a media meme! A tiny step forward!

#5  Rule #1
A wife will People always remember something differently.

Rule #2
A wife will deny what is recorded on video when it proves otherwise. What’s recorded on video is always open to interpretation. See Rule 1.

Rule #3
Suck it up and accept the little flaws and issues for the greater good and happiness she brings. Congratulations: you love a human being and not a robot. Enjoy the things that make her so specially herself, and be grateful she does the same about your imperfections

#4  The race peddlers' goal is white subjection. They will get the Chasen Buttigieg's and the 1.x million who watch CNN. Beyond that, they are trying to sell cancer and everyone they are trying to sell it to is not interested. They need to make it part of the school indoctrination program because it isn't going to get picked up on its own.

The rayciss version of Olestra it is and it will actually be a bigger failure. Because rayciss.

#3  On small step for Bobby, one giant leap for Bobby-kind.

From a branding standpoint, Critical Race Theory is genius. The word 'critical' means it is important. Race is certainly a hot topic and 'theory', that means Science. You're not a Science Denier, are you?


Unfortunately for CRT, we value theories for their predictive power. Critical Race Theory divides people into two categories, Losers and Assholes, and predicts which one you belong to by the color of your skin. Not very sciencey or useful. Unless you are a grifter.

Rule #1
A wife will always remember something differently.
Proper response: If you say so honey.

Rule #2
A wife will deny what is recorded on video when it proves otherwise.
Proper response: It could have mis-recorded it, I guess.

Rule #3
Suck it up and accept the little flaws and issues for the greater good and happiness she brings.
