    The condescension can stop now.

    Read what I said: The part of the article that you quoted spells out the convoluted sense in the article. It tries to link two completely different scenarios, one having absolutely nothing to do with the other and the author does nothing to correct that. Therefore, no actual point can be gleaned by reading it.

    More convoluted thinking. The racism that "advocates of CRT must be talking about"; because THAT'S not clear either (another fault with the article), must be referring to is the commercialization of third world countries for monetary gain. That is know as exploitation, which this country got going on following WWI: see Standard Oil of New York and the Rockefellers. The disrespect for native people could be described as racism, just like our treatment of the American Indians which was racism, just like our treatment of American blacks was and still is in some circles, racism.

    Racism got worse when we pulled out of Afghanistan?? Where do get this silly information? uh, Afghans are racist against Afghans?

    The convolution just gets worse? How do explain that?

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Your convolutions get worse, indeed.

    Don't argue with me about the validity of what CRT advocates say, I won't defend them.

    The Taliban are racist against Hazaras, for example. Against the Kurds for a well-known example.

    For communication to work, one expects a modicum of common knowledge on the part of one's reader, and one usually finds it, not always.

    Where was that line in anything you've said prior to this? And how do you validate that?

    Your condescensions just make you look childish and stuck up chris. YOUR article and your faulty explanations are convoluted chris.

    Now that you know those historical facts of racism on the part of the Taliban, can you now make sense of the OP? Or do you need more help?

    Of course you can't validate anything you've said - yet again, and your covering for obvious mistakes that you've made falls flat again as well.

    Then what does protecting our Border have to do with Racism in America rather than geography and political boundaries like they have overseas?

    Ever hear of LatCrit or LaRaza because that is what they are claiming along with many on the Left. As opposed to any United States right to national sovereignty when we have one of the most generous legal immigration systems and diversity of peoples in the entire world!
