The Critical Race Theory Challenge: and The Race Theory I Fear

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                  

Walt Disney broke the racial barrier of people, such as Black and White, with his cartoons of animal characters of many colors.  Who didn't want Mickey or Minnie Mouse as a friend or Bugs Bunny?  It was Mel Blanc (born Melvin Jerome Blank ] May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989) who  was an American voice actor and radio personality who was responsible.   After beginning his over-60-year career performing in radio, he became known for his work in animation as the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and most of the other characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoons during the golden age of American animation.   He was born in Portland, Oregon and went to Failing Grade School with my father. 

Both Mel and Morrie were Jewish.

                                                        

    Notice that this Star Trek crew is not all the same race, but all are different and

 are treated equally.  

                                                             

The next starship crew exploring the Final Frontier of Star Trek has arrived. No, it’s not guest stars for Picard Season 2, or a full break-down of the rest of the Strange New Worlds gang. Instead, after a decent amount of speculation, the full cast and character list for the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Prodigy has been revealed. And, it turns out there are some massive deep cuts to old school Star Trek canon, specifically, The Original Series. 

Star Trek is another example of seeing all sorts of shapes and colors of existing life 

from planets cooperating and working together.  If children haven't been exposed to 

children who look different, here's where they get used to seeing and loving people.

It's their world.

What I'm afraid of is the Nazi idea of race, and how they indoctrinated so much of 

Germany into believing as Hitler did.  It started in the early 30s. By 1939 it was out of 

hand. 

Germany taught that their race was the best.  Hitler spread his beliefs in racial "purity" and in the superiority of the "Germanic race"—what he called an Aryan "master race." He pronounced that his race must remain pure in order to one day take over the world. For Hitler, the ideal "Aryan" was blond, blue-eyed, and tall. 

 Hitler and other Nazi leaders viewed the Jews not as a religious group, but as a poisonous "race," which "lived off" the other races and weakened them. After Hitler took power, Nazi teachers in school classrooms began to apply the "principles" of racial science. They measured skull size and nose length, and recorded the color of their pupils' hair and eyes to determine whether students belonged to the true "Aryan race." Jewish and Romani (Gypsy) students were often humiliated in the process. 

The conception of racism began to take on a new aspect in the 19th century.  The realization of the existence of the Aryan and Semitic families of languages led to the theory of the existence of Aryan and Semitic races and later, to the classification of their subsections, the Teutons exemplifying the former and the Jews the latter.  

The theory was based on the belief, since rejected by scientists, that :

1. Jews were physically homogeneous : as in consisting of parts all of the same kind.  "culturally speaking the farmers constitute an extremely homogeneous group."  

2. There was a correlation between physical type and mental-cultural characteristics.  

"Jews and certain other groups were regarded as "racially inferior." by the Nazis of Germany.  At the end of the 19th century, this became a basic conception of the revived anti-Jewish movement in "Germany which, in the new era of tolerance, could no longer base itself exclusively on religion and, moreover was confronted with large numbers of Jews in whose lives Judaism played no part."  

"Thus, what had been an innocuous if unsound theory, became in the hands of E. Duhring, Wilhelm Marr,  H.S. Chamberlain, A. Rosenberg, a deadly weapon.  A fundamental principal of the Nazi movement from the outset, was called National Socialism.  It was officially and precisely formulated by the NUREMBERG LAWS in 1935.  Intermarriage between Jews and "Aryans" were sternly forbidden and the new Jewish disabilities were extended to all persons with 2 or more Jewish grandparents.  This conception was applies somewhat less rigorously in Fascist Italy in 1938 and in various Nazi-occupied countries of Europe  from 1939 to 1945, the length of World War II."  

On it was based the extermination policy carried out by the Germans in this period, extending in many instances to persons with only the vaguest Jewish associations and even to Christian clergymen and priests.  The alleged "scientific " evidence of racialism, based on craniometry, etc, are wholly untenable.  They measured the head and made decisions about race and people. "

"Germany has had to face this in their education since their government allowed 6 million Jews to be exterminated.  They were teaching racism and treating Jews as being sub-human.  "According to historian Alon Confino, the Nazis and other Germans made 1,448 laws, policies, and decrees designed to remove Jews from the country’s political, economic, and cultural life between January 31, 1933, and August 31, 1939. In 1933 alone, 316 anti-Jewish measures were taken in Germany by the national, state, regional, and local governments as well as by civic associations throughout the country. The following is a partial list of the anti-Jewish laws, policies, and decrees made in 1933."  This is what racism does.

  • Berlin: Jewish physicians are excluded from the list of doctors approved to receive patients under welfare and health insurance plans.
  • Prussia: Jewish judges and lawyers working at courts are immediately removed from office; the percentage of licensed Jewish lawyers should be equal to the percentage of Jews in the population; Jewish lawyers cannot represent the state.
  • Cologne: Jews cannot use the city’s sports facilities.
  • Frankfurt: Jews must submit their passports for verification."
  • The final solution: murdering 6 million Jews.
  • This is why I feel that any teaching about "race" in elementary school is wrong.  I don't trust the motives or the teachers who would be involved.  High school might be able to handle problems we see today, such as the Blacks and whites in different cities not getting along and why not?  
  • Teaching about the Holocaust is a little different and should be taught in all high schools.  It's history and includes the Nazi idea of race.  
  • I'm a proponent of learning about our DNA.  If you study that and the migrations of people, you'll see some facts about the human race.  They can learn about genetic genealogy as a field to go into in college.  That's using science, not prejudice, which the critical race theory might be aiming at or even using, even unintentionally. 
  •  It cannot be right to put down one type in favor of another.  All this time Whites have been putting down Blacks, and now they're doing the very same thing by calling Whites names.  Two wrongs don't make a right. 
  •  The original Golden Rule by Hillel states as: Hillel the Elder (c. 110 BCE – 10 CE), used this verse as a most important message of the Torah for his teachings. Once, he was challenged by a gentile who asked to be converted under the condition that the Torah be explained to him while he stood on one foot. Hillel accepted him as a candidate for conversion to Judaism but, drawing on Leviticus 19:18, briefed the man:
  • What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn.

    — Babylonian Talmud                                                            
  • The Saturday Evening Post: cover, April 1, 1961.

    A group of people of different religions, races and ethnicity served as the backdrop for the inscription "Do Unto Other As You Would Have Them Do Unto You." Rockwell was a compassionate man, and this simple phrase reflected his philosophy.
    "I'd been reading up on comparative religion. The thing is that all major religions have the Golden Rule in Common. 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' Not always the same words but the same meaning."
  • Why aren't people following the Golden Rule?  
  • Update:  July 4, 2021 :  https://www.edweek.org/leadership/what-is-critical-race-theory-and-why-is-it-under-attack/2021/05
  • Update: July 15, 2021: 
  • Law professors Daniel A. Farber and Suzanna Sherry argue that critical race theory lacks supporting evidence, relies on an implausible belief that reality is socially constructed, rejects evidence in favor of storytelling, rejects truth and merit as expressions of political dominance, and rejects the rule of law.[17] Farber and Sherry additionally posit that the anti-meritocratic tenets in critical race theory, critical feminism, and critical legal studies may unintentionally lead to antisemitic and anti-Asian implications.[59][60] In particular, they suggest that the success of Jews and Asians within what critical race theorists argue is a structurally unfair system may lend itself to allegations of cheating, advantage-taking, or other such claims. A series of responses to Farber and Sherry on this matter was published in the Harvard Law Review.[61] These responses argue that there is a difference between criticizing an unfair system and criticizing individuals who perform well inside that system.[17][61]

    In a 1997 Boston College Law Review article, Jeffrey Pyle argued that critical race theory undermined confidence in the rule of law, writing that "critical race theorists attack the very foundations of the liberal legal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law".[62]

    Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals argued in 1997 that critical race theory "turns its back on the Western tradition of rational inquiry, forswearing analysis for narrative", and that "by repudiating reasoned argumentation, [critical race theorists] reinforce stereotypes about the intellectual capacities of nonwhites."[18] Former Judge Alex Kozinski, who served on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, criticized critical race theorists in 1997 for raising "insuperable barriers to mutual understanding" and thus eliminating opportunities for "meaningful dialogue"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Criticism

Pashtuns Are Not Aryans

Nadene Goldfoot                                         
   
James Michener is one of the USA's best writers who writes about all kinds of cultures such as:  TEXAS, HAWAII, Israel with  THE SOURCE, and Afghanistan in CARAVANS. He includes a lot of description in each of his books.  I was surprised to find the following:
                                                
1942-43 in Kabul with American diplomat, Mr. Thayer and helpers
The United States recognized Afghanistan, then under the rule of King Amanullah, in 1921, and established diplomatic relations in 1935.

                         
The main character in James Michener's book is a Jewish American soldier of WWII stationed in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.  
                                                    
WWII American soldiers playing cards  during a break in fighting

  " As we made our way toward the center of Kabul I was reminded of the first contradiction that marked Afghanistan.  
                                                       
Afghanistan refugee-looks Jewish to me...

The men I saw on the streets looked much more Jewish than I.  They were tall, dark of skin, lithe, with flashing black eyes and prominent Semitic noses.  They took great pride in their claim to be descendants of the lost tribes of Israel who were supposed to have reached these mountain plateaus during the Diaspora.  
My father and me
                                                       
He's a Pashto but looks Jewish, if one can look Jewish, that is
I can say that he looks like us.  

But at the same time the Afghans remembered that the ancient name of their country was Aryana, and in the volatile 1930s they were adopted by Adolf Hitler as the world's first Aryans and his special wards.  The proud Afghans were able to accept both accolades without discrimination and consequently boasted that while it was true that they were born of the Jewish tribe, the Ben-i-Israel, once they reached Afghanistan they had ceased being Jews and had founded the Aryan race.  It made as much sense as what some of their friends were propounding elsewhere."
                                                         
  We know that the Assyrians took our 10 northern tribes from the original 12 tribes of Jacob from Israel in 722 and 721 BCE.  That's almost 3,000 years ago. It's been found that this is true, they wound up in Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of India.  At least several of the 10 have been found to be there, at least.  They are today's Pashtuns, or some of them.  Did it really take them from 721 BCE in Israel till our tribe of Judah (Jews) time of the diaspora which would be from 70 CE onward?  That's about right;  about 100 years.  The Assyrians were overtaken by the Babylonians in 597BCE and again in 586BCE. 
                                                           

Jews were taken from Jerusalem in 597 BCE and 586 BCE to Persia and returned in 538 BCE to rebuild our Temple that had been destroyed by the Babylonian Nebuchadnezzar and his troops.  
                                                           
Hitler talking with the Arab Grand Mufti about how to kill all the Jews

By 1930, Hitler had taken over and was spouting his theory of Germans being of the Aryan race, meaning pure white people. He did not consider Jews as being this and thought we were a different race.  Race is a very special term.  There is White, Black, Asian, .                  
Different races of people

The dictionary says: a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock.  a class or kind of individuals with common characteristics, interests, or habits.  a division of mankind possessing traits that are transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize it as a distinct human type. etc. Jews are Semites.  Hitler said that was a race that had to be destroyed and so he managed to have 6 million of us killed before he was stopped in WWII by the Allies.  If he had won, the Arabs and Pashtuns would be killed next after us because they are also Semites.    



Could Pashtuns be descendants of our northern 10 Tribes that were taken from our Israeli family and also be Aryans?  No.  There never was an Aryan race that Hitler had cooked up in his mind.  First of all, Aryan "was like a word used to describe Persia-today's Iran, not Afghanistan.  

"Aryan" (/ˈɛəriən/)  is a term that was used to describe themselves by Indo-Iranian people. The word was used by the Indic people of the Vedic period in India as an ethnic label for themselves and to refer to the noble class as well as the geographic region known as Āryāvarta, where Indo-Aryan culture is based.  The closely related Iranian people also used the term as an ethnic label for themselves in the Avesta scriptures, and the word forms the etymological source of the country name Iran.   It was believed in the 19th century that Aryan was also a self-designation used by all Proto-Indo-Europeans, a theory that has now been abandoned.   Scholars point out that, even in ancient times, the idea of being an "Aryan" was religious, cultural and linguistic, not racial. 
                                                    
Arno Breker's 1939 neoclassical sculpture Die Partei (The Party), which flanked one of the entrances to the Albert Speer-designed Reich Chancellery in Berlin. The sculpture emphasizes what the Nazis considered to be desirable "Nordic" racial characteristics.

 So, Aryans  did not exist.  Nordic means people like the Swedes and Norwegians.   There is no "Master" race.    It was not a race of people like Hitler said he was and that's why he hated people with black hair.  He thought that all perfect people were Aryans and  had to be blondes.  Many Jews had black hair, or at least a dark brown.  The German Jews, the ones Hitler saw, had white skin and yet they were not a part of Hitler's perfect race of people, his make believe Aryans.

Nazis Cried that Darwin Made Them Do It

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                      

Charles Darwin born in Shrewsbury, England on February 12, 1809, died in London on April 19, 1882 at age 73.  He was a biologist who couldn't stand the sight of blood.That's what kept him from becoming a doctor.   He published his Origins of Species in 1859.
                                                                             
               Adolf Hitler,b: Austria 1889, d: Germany 1945 at age 56

Leading Nazis were trying to say that it was all Darwin's fault that Hitler insisted on killing off all the Jews of the world.  He almost succeeded by managing to kill 6 million of us.  Now, where does Darwin fit in with all this horror and hatred?
                                                                             
Conspiring to kill off all the Jews.  You'd think Hitler was Haman of ancient Persia who tried                                                          to do the same thing.  

Hitler struck onto the idea of Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" and ran with the concept of  superior races and the survival of the fittest.  He must have been very jealous of the intelligence of the Jews and though he certainly was a non-practicing Catholic, did grow up in that environment of dislike of Jews.  So, taking the 2 factors, jealousy and dislike of these people, and mix in Darwin's survival of the fittest along with the superiority of races, and Hitler came up with a brand new philosophy which his whole country bought into.

 Why?  Was it because of his speaking ability that curls my toes when I hear him rant and rave?  Was that the proper style of the day?  He was a broken down unaccepted painter who couldn't paint pictures for a living and had to paint houses instead, bitterly.  He didn't have success as a starter to be heard.  Why did people ever listen to him?

When he came along, there weren't many successful Germans to be found.  They were all suffering from economic loss of money and jobs, so they must have identified with this man.  In doing so, and being a group that was used to following a leader and not being allowed to be individuals, they followed him, of all people because he told them to do it.

The German scientists should have called out -foul play on what he was preaching.  He was telling people that selective breeding, like farmers did with pigs and cows, were what they had to do with humanity, and they had to cull out the weak.  In his theory, the weak were the Jews because they were quiet and kept to themselves more than others.  They didn't cause trouble, but to Hitler, they were bad because they were the small businessmen and still had jobs and were not Catholics.  They still clung to their ancient religion of Judaism.   In reality, the Jews, an ancient line of people, had been studying and writing long before the Germans had left their barbaric ways.  They were part of the ancient Empires that Germans were not.  They had been traders and merchants when Germans were wearing animal skins.  Jews hadn't stopped evolving and thinking and progressing, especially in Germany, anymore than any other people.  They just had a head start on them, which didn't help in figuring the evil that was coming.  After all, Moses was born in1391 BCE and Jews had been following his teachings since about 1300 BCE.  King David was born in 1010 BCE.  Who could believe that humans would want to get rid of a whole race of people?

In Darwin's theory, natural selection was just that.  Nature took care of who survived and who didn't, but Hitler wanted to play G-d and do the selecting himself and nobody stopped him.  Nobody preached to the choir that this was wrong.  The religious view, from the Jewish Torah of Genesis, was that humanity started with an Adam and an Eve, and that we all came from this one source.

That was ignored by this group of people completely, so eager to follow a scientist named Darwin-or rather Hitler who interpreted it all for them.  .

As an aside, geneticists who work with DNA today have found an Eve and most recently an Adam.  It looks like we did all come from one source and just spread out all over on the face of this Earth.  Some of us hit the jackpot by ending up in nice warm places and others wound up on the edges of ice, making life more difficult, trying to survive the several ice ages that this Earth has experienced.

It was Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton,  who created the idea .of modern eugenics, a product of the 19th Century.  He says it came from the theory of Darwin's Evolution.

The Nazi movement had many scientist supporters, sadly.  Some scientists they were!   They concluded that the  Nazi treatment of Jews and other "races" like the Gypsies, then believed by them to be 'inferior,' was the result of Darwin's findings that could be used to improve mankind.    This is false.  Why would they want to improve others besides themselves?  It would just mean having more competition in the economic world.  No, they wanted to get rid of the competition.  This was their crutch, their excuse that nobody questioned. Empire builders from the very beginning of time never tried to do such things.  It was inhuman!  You could even say that only sub-humans would think of doing such things.

The theory of evolution comes from the idea that life forms acquire unique traits that enable those who also have new traits to survive better in adverse conditions compared to those who don't have these new traits.  The life forms with such traits were considered as 'superior.'  They took the basic teaching of Darwin of evolution and how animals evolved from one to another type, such as monkeys to people and emphasized an aspect of it, which was 'selection.'

Hitler said that they were Aryans and that this race was superior to all others and it was the people's duty to subjugate all other peoples.  The Master Race was born.  He said the Aryans were a Nordic race, coming from people of the Lost Continent of Atlantis.  This is why he liked blondes so much.  He thought them to be a pure race, not mixed with other groups at all.  Race placed the major role in the Nazi philosophy.  Hitler took a scientific new discovery, something not thought of before, and twisted it around for his own use.  There were actually a few people who stood up to him but were killed.  The rest didn't raise a finger against him.

So thanks, Dr. Darwin, for the trouble your research caused.  Certainly you couldn't have foreseen what some idiots would make out of it.  As for monkeys turning into humans, science today has found that nature has caused many types of 'people' and they didn't all make it to this period of time.  They just died out.  Natural selection, not their own, caused it to happen.  So monkeys did not turn into people after all.  That's just one line that did make it besides us.  We just haven't tried to kill them all off, thank goodness, nor they us.  As far as that goes, we find that Europeans all carry a certain % of Neanderthal in their genes, and some have some Denisovan genes.  Some have more of a % than others.  They are  branches of the tree who managed to mate successfully.  Notice, though;   no more Neanderthal or Denisovan gentlemen or ladies around.  Darwin would have been excited about this.  Today, the science ruling is DNA studies.  According to these scientists today, mankind started about 135,000 years ago.

Be thankful for the people in the USA who have a natural gift, perhaps their own DNA, coming from all the nations of the world, of questioning people.  Be thankful that we have Republicans and  Democrats who question each other's goals and motives.  It will be a sad day for everyone if we become sheep and just follow someone without questioning them if something doesn't seem right.  Americans have never been under a king or a Tsar and question, knowing they could have another leader with another thought in the next 4 years.  The insurance of this is to have an educational system where children are taught to question and do not fear doing so or challenging their teachers.  Also, another insurance against such arrogance is to have parents who teach their children to ask and to think for themselves without fear.
