“If You Don’t Talk about It, It Didn’t Happen” 0

LZ Granderson ponders on the reasons for opposing the discussion of critical race theory. A snippet:

I can see why some folks wouldn’t want to have these conversations in the classroom. Eventually the question of what kind of lawmaker would do this — and whom did you vote for — arises. Some grandparents may not want to tell their grandchildren this inescapable truth: Jim Crow laws didn’t enforce themselves.

Follow the link for the rest.

Afterthought:

I’m a Southern boy.

I had ancestors who held (as the expression goes) slaves.

I don’t feel guilty about it, because I wasn’t there. But I will be damned if I will participate in excusing or exculpating or whitewashing (you will pardon the expression) their sin.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
