Critical Race Theory is divisive and regressive

I try to avoid negative people. They are like a dark cloud on a sunny day. Hurt people like hurting people, and the miserable seem to glee making others upset and angry. I don’t want conflict and I am easy to get along with. If you don’t bother me, try to shove your ideology in my face, or keep pushing what I don’t want, you’ll never hear a complaint from me. 

Critical Race Theory is not designed to unify the nations, but to drive a wedge between different groups and creeds. America is a melting pot, but proponents of this ideology want to label and separate people into tribes and groups. Critical Race Theory is nothing new. Its intent is to revert the world back to ethno-tribalism in the guise of being morally self-righteous. Those not in the tribe are irredeemable reprobates whose stain should be rubbed from society.

While proponents of Critical Race Theory claim to be progressive, they are ultra regressive. Always ranting about past slavery. They are always reliving battles already won. 

You can’t make me hate America. Our nation is not perfect. However, our nation evolved. We freed slaves, became a melting pot, and provided opportunities. We reward those who work hard and contribute. I don’t need to keep rehashing Juneteenth, Freedom Riders, or the Tulsa massacre. I’m American — not hyphenated or African. If you’re not happy about America, don’t let the door hit you in the behind. I will personally buy you a ticket and drive you to the airport. 

Please take your miserable self somewhere else. I feel your pain, but I’m not the cause of your misery.
