Do you know what "white rage" means and why this alleged rage is not something other races experience?

I don't think you've looked very closely at CRT and the underlying message that white people are inherently racists. I'll give you some time to look beyond your sources and do some real research before I post the damning evidence.koobookie wrote: General Milley was just saying that he wanted to understand the situation, not that he necessarily agreed with it. He stated that if we want to address concerns, we must understand them. Isn't that the military way?
Critical Race Theory is about understanding how racism has affected our country and the policies we have made. It's not about demanding reparations, it's not about becoming woke, it's about understanding and acknowledging our past and how it affects the present.
It appears that "Woke" has become a trigger word for the right.

I understood the horrors of slavery many many years ago and like all historical crimes against humanity, I wish they never happened. My question is, how many more decades or centuries do we have to keep demonizing people who never owned slaves and making victims out of people who have never been a slave. What other country on this planet is dividing it's population by race and harping on a problem that was solved through a civil war a century and a half ago? I'm all for teaching our history, the good and the bad, but I don't believe this new revival of hate in reverse is constructive in the slightest.homeagain wrote: FINDING YOUR ROOTS on PBS is an avenue to understanding....story,after story,after story of the history

r both sad and happy,BUT the tracings of their "roots" is a profound experience,for both the viewer and
the guest. IT IS A START to the path of understanding.

Please - do post your damning evidence. Also, please tell me your definition of "white rage."

If you think our military should be learning about white rage, then you must have your own definition and I'd love to hear it. I'll give you evidence of racist CRT being pushed on children if you answer my question.

I asked the question about white rage a few times and nobody responded. This General said he wanted to know more about it, like it's an actual mental affliction unique to white people. I don't have a definition because I think it's another BS term made up by race baiters who are hell bent on dividing this country by race, AGAIN.koobookie wrote:

What is your definition of "white rage?" I'm really curious to know.
And why are you against people being taught about the racial history of our country? Should we not know about how our country developed? I really think you need to better understand Critical Race Theory. Perhaps you should read up on it.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

While I agree that CRT is a thing at the college level, I've seen stories that it's not really in primary education. Having two kids enrolled in public schools, one of whom just graduated, I was curious to find out what their opinion was on this topic so I asked. I wanted to know if my oldest felt that his education, particularly in history/social studies, had a racial focus to it or if he was taught "white man bad."
His answer: no. They were taught events that happened, not that there were racial reasons behind what happened.
Mind you, this is simply anecdotal evidence from one smart, engaged student (he loves his war history in particular, will happily sit down and re-watch Band of Brothers for a 4th time if you ask), but I'd really like to ask if there's evidence that kids in elementary, middle, and high schools are being taught history with a racial lens?
I have a suspicion that much of this stoking of racial issues, on both sides, is the malicious side of social media and bad actors who benefit from keeping people outraged and divided. Looking at polls of what people feel are the most important issues facing us, this doesn't seem to rank at the top all that much and it sure would be nice if we could focus on discussing what's impacting us more deeply.
Edit to add: forgot to include the link to this AP story:
EXPLAINER: So much buzz, but what is critical race theory?

“Racism in America would be dead today if not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support,” he said, drawing applause from the room. “Sadly, one of those institutions is the American education system.”
With a focus on the impact the racial grievance industry is having on children today, his conclusion was spot on.
“I can think of nothing more damaging to a society than to tell a baby born today that she has grievances against another baby born today,” he continued, “simply because of what their ancestors may have done two centuries ago.”

It may not be in every school, but it's in enough of them that it is a problem we should be watching for carefully. I watched the video of the black man BB referenced in his post and he's not making this up, it's in a lot of schools. If teachers are learning it in college and believe that it's valid, is it not then reasonable to assume they would pass that on to their students?
?
How about our teachers be forced to teach unity along with history and tell students that history only repeats if we allow it to.

"The hand that rocks the cradle"? Liberal and conservative school boards are both trying to influence the next generation of voters. Before CRT, twenty somethings I talk to tell me how much time their teachers spent trying to convince them that the world would end in their lifetime because of global warming.
