I am making more use of links: music and visual. Click on them and then you might have a second link to search. Some locations, such as YouTube generate revenue for your "free" viewing by running ads, so be patient. On occasion there is a "skip ad" button. Sometimes it will load and start when you go there, sometimes you need to click on the white arrow in the red box.

THIS is important, too: Critical race theory (CRT) promotes the idea that our society is controlled by inherently racist white people and, therefore, people of color are systemically oppressed in all sorts of ways. Naturally, this feeds racist sentiments among minorities. But researcher Christopher Schorr recently released his findings on CRT's impact on white Americans, and what he found is that, contrary to the claims of its leftist proponents, CRT actually produces what it claims to fight against — white nationalists and white identitarians.
To put it another way, CRT's redefinition of racism to mean prejudice plus power and its rewriting of American history as primarily an expression of white supremacy have only served to increase the number of white Americans who react by describing their white identity as "very" or "extremely" important.
Attacking someone primarily on account of their immutable racial characteristic is what most Americans accurately interpret as racism. And the result will be to produce a defensiveness associated with one's race and an increased awareness of one's racial identity.
In this regard, CRT does exactly what it was designed to do. It breaks down and destroys the social foundations of a nation and culture in order to pave the way for a Marxist revolution and the reforming of society. The Left is using CRT to intentionally destroy any semblance of a cohesive and collective American identity and experience that transcend race. CRT proponents preach that an individual's racial identity is more important than one's national identity and that concern for racial supremacy is the primary motive behind all white Americans' political and cultural concerns.
Schorr further observes that when white Americans are exposed to anti-CRT information, their tendency to hold tightly to their racial identity declines. He writes: "High white-identifiers were more willing to restrict American identity to those with 'American ancestry' (8 percent), but they also expressed 14 percent greater agreement that 'racial minorities are, on average, just as patriotic as white Americans.' Crucially, white conservative ethnocentrism dropped 24 percent. Thus, findings from both 'conservative' primes offered cause for optimism whereas findings from the critical prime were more consistently undesirable."
CRT attacks the civil rights movement's goal of a colorblind American society as "racist" precisely because colorblindness undercuts the racial-identity motif needed for CRT to function. The great irony is that CRT's "anti-racism" creed promotes the very racial stereotypes it claims to oppose, whether among minorities who buy into it or among whites who rebel against it. CRT is the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing, sneaking in to destroy the sheep, not protect them.
Almost the same subject matter as Scalia speaks which I enjoyed. 
Revisited this one. Visually stunning (especially in Blue Ray) but sad. Bill must have written his lines, they are so Murray.Not watching, but keeping an eye on the Dragons (march to state title?)
At 15, you heard me correctly, she entered Howard University and graduated at 18 or 19; at that age I was still trying to learn how to tie my shoes...the woman who co-wrote Killing Me Softly was in a bar and she felt that the musician on stage was looking right into her essence, being. Thankfully she wrote down a whole verse.

Our American Bandstand had blacks back then, this German version, all white. Just saying, they say we are such racists...

HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE, and so everything changed with her “fiat”. How much longer will God allow the U.S. to kill babies? How can a woman pay someone to kill the child inside her, and vacuum it out to be incinerated or put up for a parts sale? May God have mercy on this country he has so blessed.
