The topic of critical race theory (CRT) came up. CRT has been described as a twist on Marxist class warfare, substituting race for the class divisions. CRT says that black and brown people in this country are systemically held back. They preach &#8220;equity&#8221;, not equal opportunity, but equity of outcome, which is antithetical to the American way. It&#8217;s literally the opposite of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s dream. Everything needs to be judged within the context of race.<\/p>\n<p>When CRT came up, Milley said he thinks it&#8217;s important to read CRT so he can understand &#8220;white rage.&#8221; The best test for if something is racist is to substitute another group. Would he be receiving glowing praise (MSNBC for example titles their video on his testimony <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/11th-hour\/watch\/joint-chiefs-chair-milley-schools-gaetz-on-critical-race-theory-115371077625\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Joint chiefs chair Milley schools Gaetz on Critical Race Theory&#8221;<\/a>) if he had testified to trying to better understand &#8220;black rage&#8221; or &#8220;Muslim rage&#8221;? Of course not, because painting an entire race with a broad brush is racist.<\/p>\n<p>Milley then made his thoughts clear on the protest turned riot on 6 Jan;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out. I want to maintain an open mind here, and I do want to analyze it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No wonder <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/23\/fbi-tears-new-yorkers-life-into-shreds-devine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the FBI is furiously and doggedly pursuing people<\/a> with tenuous connections to the events of the day. The professional head of the United States military thinks that the protest was actually an attempt to overthrow the US government. He&#8217;s testified as such in front of Congress now.<\/p>\n<p>Milley then went on to say that he&#8217;s read other anti-American, racist, murderous hate in an effort to understand our adversaries;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve read Mao Zedong, I&#8217;ve read Karl Marx, I&#8217;ve read Lenin. That doesn&#8217;t make me a communist,&#8221; Milley said. &#8220;So what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend? And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, non-commissioned officers of being, quote, \u2018woke\u2019 or something else, because we&#8217;re studying some theories that are out there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If he&#8217;d said only this, I could defend him. He didn&#8217;t though. He preceded this with his pondering on &#8220;white rage&#8221; which, on its face, is a blatantly racist statement that <em>should <\/em>receive universal condemnation.<\/p>\n<p>Hear his remarks yourself.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oz7yDU1FmJQ?start=50\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Army General Mark Milley (pictured), testified in &hellip; <a title=\"CJCS Milley embraces critical race theory\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=114865\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">CJCS Milley embraces critical race theory<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,430,359,576,598],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-2020-election","category-army","category-blm","category-get-woke"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=114865"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":114866,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114865\/revisions\/114866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=114865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=114865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=114865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
