(NOQ Report) Last week Dan Bongino talked about the pointlessness of arguing with the left. He said something like (I paraphrase from memory) “We think the left are simply people with bad ideas while the left thinks we are simply bad people.…” He went on to say that while pointless in terms of trying to convince the person with whom you’re “arguing”, it’s worthwhile because others, who may be open minded and paying attention, might be persuaded.

This was driven home to me via a Facebook discussion that started out with a friend’s cartoon suggesting CRT is an innocuous addition to the teaching of American history that shows some of the darker chapters.
My response was: “No one opposes teaching history, warts and all. I studied slavery, Jim Crow, the Trail of Tears, Chinese workers basically in servitude to build the RR and more. You keep mischaracterizing CRT as just teaching the negative side of American history. It’s not. The heart of CRT is that the US is systematically racist and minorities can’t succeed. That’s fiction and you know it.”
Which started a firestorm from a friend of my friend, from which I’ve excerpted:

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

The past is ugly. The current is not unrecognizable to the past. None of which anything can be done about. What’s next should be the focus. That we can effect. The problem is the past keeps getting dragged up in an effort to point fingers instead of learn and grow. In 20 years our kids will be pointing fingers at us if we don’t do something now. The past is not our collective fault as much as the future will be. We don’t have time to philosophize the past right now. That is a leisure activity. Now calls for action.
