Hanging innocent black Americans doesn’t jibe with the constitution either, but that was done without due process of arrests until the 1950s. In fact, killing doesn’t job with the Bible but white people did that without any fear of reprisal in the 1930, the 1940s. A half dozen black American soldiers were lynched after coming back from defeating Hitler and instead of getting a hero’s welcome the whites lynched them and no one was tried for murder, because it never happened. That just didn’t jibe with the Biblical law or the constitution, but since white people had committing this atrocity steadily for 80 years it was deemed acceptable. The last lynching, when a group of white privileged men just grabbed a black man off the street walking to the store after work because the white were angry at another completely unrelated black man downtown was NOT found guilty, was in 1981. The young black man who was grabbed randomly off the street, his throat slit and then hung by a lamppost was treated like all the other innocent black men killed by privileged white for the previous one hundred and twenty years. These men who killed him—Michael Donald—and that was the first time and acceptable and just verdict happened for the murder of a black American. That is a long time to await for justice at the hands of roving white savages who live outside the laws—both constitutional and biblical (“thou shall not kill”). For that whole time, the white men and villagers who watched, went to church on Sundays to “absolve” themselves of sins.

So yeah, CRT is a real thing—it’s about how white people lived outside the law of America and the Bible. I personally don’t like to be told to “shut up and listen” as a white male, but do I deserve it? Yes. I do. We all do. And if Mrs. C wants to take my cookies while I listen, then she can have them (I would share with her anyway by the way because she’s super nice, and I suspect she would ask politely and not steal them, because of who she is and not the color of her skin, but I would still listen.)
