I know right? Literally I saw liberals losing their minds in my state about a bill being proposed to ban CRT, how it was never taught and how it's not being taught anywhere, while I literally knew teachers that were saying that would continue teaching it until the law took effect.
It was a wild tactic to tell parents they were wrong about what their kids were learning in school… when their kids were just home for zoom school for a year and a half and parents literally saw it with their own eyes
Critical race theory is a literal college course, so it isnt in HS or MS. The only thing in HS or MS in that regard is teaching how racism functioned in the US and the civil rights movements that occurred. Republicans fear mongered that it was widespread bullshit of telling kids they were evil. Which has not happened except rare examples that got punished for doing so. Laws outlawing it, and being overly broad in such, were idiotic and pointless.
Bryan ... I'm a Romanian millennial living across the world from you and even I know you had segregation. this is not a topic that is underdiscussed in American society and culture. what you actually want isn't to have people know that there was segregation. what you want is for white Americans living today to constantly make amends for something that happened before they were born. it's not that people don't know about segregation. it's that they don't feel personally responsible for it which they shouldn't because they had nothing to do with it.
When we still have bills laws etc based on those feelings in the past you can't claim that we should just over look redlining the neglect of GI bills to black soldiers etc. Naw we are not just going to overlook that because it makes you uncomfortable. You don't want to be held responsible then push to have these bills getting rid of. Otherwise this is never going to go away. It didn't in the 1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, etc. Cut it out
Even though most white American citizens living today aren't responsible for segregation the system is still built that way and a lot of politicians & corporations want to keep it that way for their benefit. This comment is irrelevant

Because the left is going to far. A lot of people are realizing that liberals are just using emotional manipulation instead of making actual good arguments.
I learned about slavery, Jim Crow, and racism in high school in the late 70s and early 80s in junior high and high school. How I dealt with it has a lot to do with my home life. My (single) mother (natch) used to have cocktail parties all the time, and the people I met at those parties as a kid were blacks, Asians (my mom's best friend was Korean), gays, probably Jews, I'm not sure that I would have known the difference between Jews and whomever else at that time, freaks, and so on. The only people my mother couldn't abide were hippies. But, again, freaks were fine. Because of this, to this day, at the age of 58, I still don't really understand racism. I'm well aware of it, but it makes no sense. My mom was a terrible parent, but I'm grateful for this aspect of my upbringing.
I had a similar upbringing in terms of the people I grew up around, but mine was because I lived and went to school in the middle of a major city in the South. My neighbors, classmates, teachers, friends, people at the grocery store, etc. were from all walks of life, nationalities, ethnicities, lifestyles, religions, income level, etc. My home life, however, was much different than yours, as my family was full of racist, homophobic bigots. So I would hear one thing at home, but when I went out into the world I saw something totally different. It didn’t take me very long to figure out that my family and their views were nothing but lies and that everyone was just trying to live their lives in peace and not be treated unfairly/differently just because of who they are. Nobody chooses to be Black or gay or whatever. But people do *choose* to hate, and they should be called out on their bigoted views to their face every single time. If you still don’t understand racism (at 59 now?), there’s a really good scene from the movie Mississippi Burning that I think is a great way to explain it. Gene Hackman’s character talks about a memory from his childhood about his daddy and a Black man who lived down the road. They were both farmers, but the Black farmer was "luckier" than his father, and was able to make enough money to buy a mule (which was a big deal back then) and eventually rent even more farmland. His daddy’s friends teased him about how the Black farmer was better than him, and it made him so angry that he ended up poisoning the water on the Black farmer’s land and killing the mule. A short time later, while Hackman and his father were driving by the Black man’s farm, they noticed that he was gone, and his daddy became very happy. Hackman saw the smile on his daddy’s face and knew instantly that it was his father that had killed the mule, and his father looked back at Hackman and knew he knew. His father was ashamed, but he tried to save face with his son and said something along the lines of, "If a man isn’t any better than a _____ (insert racial slur here), then who is he better than?” I’d encourage you to look up the clip (I think it’s called "Why do people hate?") because Hackman does a better job of explaining it than I can here, but basically hating a group of people for whatever reason (skin color, sexual orientation, etc.) allows someone to feel superior and never have to admit the truth to themselves *about* themselves (that they’re lazy, no good, a loser, etc.). It’s a way to excuse their own failures and shortcomings in life without ever having to take any accountability for themselves. I mean, you’d be hard pressed to find someone is happy with themselves and their life who is also a racist, ya know?
LMAO. sounds like you would've been way better off with a mom more concerned with, you know, being a parent, then showing you & the world how "progressive" & "tolerant" she was. good grief.
i came from North Africa to the us as an immigrant and believe me no other country teaches it's history about slavery as the us does, and Bryan should know that in some countries the salve markets were closed up to the sixties and the eighties, plus calling hollywoodien camp as the humanistic side is ridiculous, because it's the same franchise that caters to China
It’s self-loathing. They knowingly turn a blind eye to the rest of the world to get their money while talking about how terrible America is. It makes them feel better about themselves. They probably also think that the louder they are in pronouncing their own righteousness no one could possibly accuse them of ignoring human rights in other countries so they can cash their big checks. It’s deflection.
Slavery still exists with India having over 7 million and china around 4 million slaves being the biggest...This is modern slavery so it includes stuff like child labor and even military's conscription. (which at least the last one I dont think should be included since all countries use the draft when in serious wars) Still millions are in more tradition slavery.
It’s funny because when I was in school 10 years ago, in Texas, I learned all of this. There’s nothing I’ve learned in the last few years that has contradicted the things I had learned in school. My teachers didn’t present slavery in any way other than the facts, and none of them were sugar coating anything. While it’s anecdotal, it’s still unfair to just say “well they don’t teach this anymore” when A LOT of people are also just dumb and not paying attention
@Jessiedoggie Don't conflate CRT with teaching about American history. People just don't want their classes preaching the idea that there is white privilege and that some people are naturally better off than others. Why? Because it is incorrect and very racist. Ibram X Kendi was wrong to think that the only way to overcome past discrimination is present discrimination. It will only breed more hate and racism
@Jessiedoggie you realize CRT isn’t just teaching about slavery, it’s teaching white people that they’re inherently bad people and aren’t deserving of what they have. It teaches you to hold guilt over things you have no control over, things you or your great grandparents weren’t even alive (or in the US like mine). I am white but I hold no responsibility for what happened in the past. I had no part in the slave trade. Nobody in my family that I’ve ever met has been involved in the slave trade (oldest great grandma was 97 in 2011) but I’m supposed to feel guilty because of something that happened hundreds of years before I was born? I know that laws were pretty fucked up in the south for a long time after abolition, but to hold white people accountable for things they can’t control is asinine. If you want to go after the plantation owners, monopolists, and founding fathers & their heirs, go for it. Most people did not own slaves, roughly 5-6% of southern whites owned slaves and a majority were small farm operations. CRT won’t teach you this but during slavery many farmers weren’t “getting rich off of slave labor”, they were barely scraping by as tobacco and cotton prices were very volatile. It’s not the “ideal” image you’re thinking of when talking about slavery, but “YT” people aren’t your enemy or whatever you want to call it. The same founding fathers and politicians of colonial America have turned into political and economic dynasties, along with large plantation owners in the south (some/a lot were founding fathers lol). George Washington owned slaves, along with many other presidents before the UK “banned the slave trade” and opinions changed worldwide. If you actually read into slavery, you’ll understand why CRT is being pushed by liberals. The slaves weren’t “stolen” from Africa like everyone has thought and heard, rather they were captured and sold by rival kingdoms for profit. Kings would invade neighbors and take as many prisoners as possible to trade with Europeans, Americans, and other African nations. Btw, a little “fun” fact about slavery is that the Portuguese were nearly the only Europeans to raid and steal slaves, since their proximity to Africa helped their immunity to malaria and other diseases. Most Europeans/Americans would die within a year or two while in Africa from malaria, dysentery, malnourishment, or injury/animal/battle related deaths. Africa in the 1600s-1800s was as dangerous for non Africans as smallpox and measles were to native Americans in that same time. PC culture has changed history for the worse.
How would most people know what’s even taught in schools if they don’t have kids who can accurately regurgitate what’s been taught in school. Going to public School in New York I never heard that slavery was the reason for all problems in the US but neither that it didn’t happen. History was my favourite subject in school and my education at my state school was pretty bad. I’m going to one of the top universities in uk for my masters and I feel I had such a horrible education from educated compared to what “colleges” can provide. I also feel that the teaching style is much better than how classes are taught at your standard large university mine was public. The education system is really the only compliment I have about the uk rest of it is shit compared to the US.
It’s surprising to me that Bryan and the extreme woke believe most schools aren’t teaching proper history and never have. I was born in 1984 and absolutely was taught all about slavery, Jim Crow, segregation. We even had an assignment in 7th or 8th grade where we had to go home and talk to our parents to see what they remember from that time. I agree with Bill that most schools are still teaching this today. How could they not?
Bcuz their trying to get rid of it. States like Texas and Florida. Especially Florida. They got rid of AP African-American studies. They want to whitewash and sugarcoat American history.
I was going to elementary in the 90's in Oklahoma. They taught us everything about Jim Crow, segregation, and slavery. It must depend on where you're from.

Just because they use the words doesn't mean that they fit the definition.
Bill explains perfectly what the problem is with CRT. It’s not that American students don’t want to have history taught honestly/accurately, it is the pushing/endoctrinating of a specific ideology/perspective that is more concerning.
Actually Bill Maher is wrong on this issue. History is still very much white washed in the schools. He keeps missing Cranston’s point. Cranston is stating how long simple progress took in order to illuminate how much progress there is still left to be done. Cranston is very right on this issue. Also, the schools that are teaching CRT to small kids are minimal if it exists at all. It’s anecdotal. What DeSantis in Florida is doing is banning AP African American studies. It’s a racist move to play to a base. It’s also a bad political calculation. But CRT is by and large taught in colleges. The right are just using it to fearmonger. Maher has been wrong on this issue for a long time.
Bryan is just repeating what everyone around him is saying. He isn’t thinking independently he just wants to be a good person and is going along with what everyone says is the “right” thing.
you're also repeating talking points.. CRT is a college-level course. it's not being taught in elementary schools. our education system is as stagnant as ever. we're still stuck in the no-child-left-behind era, what makes you think that they'd be teaching progressive, high-level courses in elementary? oh right... propaganda... that's what

If it weren’t for Bryan Cranston, I would have never even heard of slavery. Thank you so much, Bryan. The left doesn’t talk about it non-stop, every day. Thank you so much, Bryan.
its amazing how little research these people do. I mean you can easily get a US history textbook used in the 70s 80s and 90s online and track how slavery was handled over time. Just because in 1964 you were taught one thing doesnt mean its still taught that way.
Exactly. I wanna know what schools these ppl are talking about, because US history classes always included the revolution, the civil war, slavery, the 60s civil rights and how there were still separate water fountains, the holocaust etc....its totally being taught... what more are we supposed to do???
It's a lie, they are purposely being misleading saying that it's not being taught, they don't believe factual history is enough and want to expand to teach opinion and exaggeration with the goal of gaining power and control.
@@Kristalaurene Teaching about things like the Tulsa Race Massacre was banned in some (conservative) states til somewhat recently. And what I've seem some teachers complain about it's that they want to teach about how racism still exist, but the ban on CRT doesn't allow them
I am so proud of Bill for confronting Cranston bluntly, but politely, and addressing the logical failings of CRT in a systematic and comprehensive manner. Maybe Cranston and others will listen. They may listen to a fellow liberal like Maher.
If you want to address logical failings, then Bill Maher should be your target. If schools teach anything about American slavery and the country's legacy of racism, ignorant people call it CRT. CRT is a graduate-school curriculum. It's NOT taught to five-year-olds.
The 2nd Amendment is not about race, its about England trying to confiscate weapons in Colonial America. And this entire discussion conflates teaching of history (which should be done) and CRT (which should not). The former is a discussion of what happened. The latter is a Marxist position where any disparity of outcome is the result of the seen or unseen hand of "racism"
No the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with England. It was primarily to avoid having a standing army during times of peace and instead have the equivalent of what the national guard is today. Where race comes into play is that this national guard was originally supposed to be equally summoned by the federal government but in the slave states that was also their slave patrol and the slave owners knew they would be screwed if the slave patrol was summoned so thus the second amendment was changed from "security of a free nation" to "the security of a free state."
Marxist? Oh, you mean like what Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X were? Like that thing? :) "The latter is a Marxist position where any disparity of outcome is the result of the seen or unseen hand of "racism""-that is because the only other possible explanation (it's just their genes, their DNA, they were born that way) is, believe it or not, racist
Hey. Europe here again. I really wonder who started this narrative that any of these issues are related to "marxism". I guess they needed a term that to the minds of the Americans was synonymous to evil. We got millions of Marxists in Europe. None of them express or promote any of these positions that you are discussing.
@@MegasSalavatis What you're seeing here is an example of "cultural marxism", which is a new spin on "cultural bolshivism"... which is a conspiracy theory, that was made up... by the nazis.
The founders fear of a king having control of the military was why the 2nd amendment was there...not to overthrow someone like that but to prevent them from having a personal army. They were fearful of having a standing army under the control of an authoritarian, which is also why military funding has to be renewed every year instead of putting up long term funding. The guns were to be provided by the government, but state governments were tasked with organizing the units and providing the leadership structure.
The more you see race, the more divisive you are. Society never wants us to get to a point when color is a nonissue, because conflict gives people power.
@@jhh997 Nah, we do see color. We just don’t make it our whole personality trait. Ok you’re black, cool. Ok you’re white, cool. It’s that simple. The fact that people see another skin color and become mad at that person for it is wild. Like, you’re mad over a different skin color? LOL… INSANE.
Sadly, the point that Bill can’t wrap his head around is the fact that “1964”, etc. was not just a “long time ago” in relative history. Most 60+ year olds (like himself) from that era are still alive today. As Bryan said in this interview, he mentioned how people with White Privilege (or as Bill calls it, White Advantage) are innately oblivious to the fact that being white has generally worked in their favor through their life, considering all the possible highs and lows we all face. They are both from an entire generation of American youth raised in times where greater social barriers existed. In relation to CRT, don’t you think teaching it’s history is important to learning the mistakes of previous generations and civilizations, especially in the case of 18th, 19th and 20th century African American racism that is very much alive to this day in the 21st century, IN 2023? People like Bill are immediately repulsed by the idea that “whites” created U.S slavery and it’s effects of discrimination are still visible today. This isn’t to say “whites” are inherently bad people, but that in terms of social dynamics with blacks and other minority groups, they are the ones participating in structures that were founded to excel white progress more so than groups of people deemed 3/5ths of a person. Even though he and most other whites alive today are not responsible for slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws, etc., they fail to fully recognize that they reap benefits to their own self fulfillment because the system was first made to support whites and keep blacks on a social level lower that did not support their equality and success as Americans in a country that so ironically branded itself with the phrase “Liberty and Justice for All”.
@@kennethjoseph6349 The trade triangle, the revolts, the civil war was fought to rid the country of slavery, etc. We also watched Roots. The only thing as an adult looking back that was biased was what I learned in the science classroom, but it wasn't every science teacher, just the very pious.
CRT is a collegiate course studied by law students. It is NEVER taught to 5 year olds, and it never will be. There is nothing in the curriculum that suggests White children should 'feel badly' . It is a course that examines the impact of slavery upon American systems of government. Slavery was abolished in 1865 yet the last slave ship (The Cotilde) arrived in Alabama 20 years later. The civil rights movement occurred approximately one generation afterward...meaning people were alive at that time who's fathers and mothers were slaves. True enough we should live in the present but these atrocities happened less than 3 generations ago and all CRT does is talk about them as it relates to deliberate systemic racism. However, If 6 year old baby Ruby Bridges can survive being escorted to school by federal marshals in 1960, then 5 year old little Becky can survive learning about it in 2023. When America can acknowledge what it has done, it will be forgiven.
I grew up on the southside of Chicago in all Mexican neighborhoods Lil Village and Pilsen in the late 80s early 90s and didnt kbow racism existed. I did know about gangs and drive by shootings. I think Im better off for knowing the latter. Im a better person that seeing everything through race
CRT has existed for years. It apparently was created in the 70s But people on Fox News are telling you it's a new thing you don't want and you're failing for it.
This country teaches a white washed version of US history to kids. It is ingrained into the books and curriculum. For someone who went to school in the 60s, how can you now say "this is 2023" and use that as an excuse to understanding what is being taught in schools? How do you know the curriculum? Have you read the text books and sat in on the discussions? On top of the fact, no one is saying kindergartners are needing to be taught CRT. This discussion is for students who are learning more granular historical events (Middle School and High School). The idea of teaching it, is to counteract the white washing, and teach a truer version of the events and situations of the past. Not in English class, not in math class and not during PE. but History classes.... if we cannot agree that our history lessons should not be white washed, then we are on very opposite sides of the fence. There seems to be no issue teaching how Nazis murdered millions of people in WW2, their living conditions, they way they were treated... from the eyes of the oppressed and in great detail.... but we can't teach Americanized Slavery and the essence of American White Privilege in the same fashion? We can't teach how hundreds of years of marginalizing and oppressing an entire ethnic group of people caused lasting socioeconomic issues? This is where I get confused on this discussion. Either way... Still love you Bill
At the end of the day, it's public school. It comes from taxpayer dollars. The taxpayers in that area vote on what is taught. A part of democracy is not getting what you want, and not telling others what to do.
That’s not really how it works. Then a place in the deep woods of Alabama would probably vote on teaching about hunting. And I’m not just talking about animals.
When it comes to actors I have a very Victorian attitude towards them. I hold them in the same esteem as street walkers that way they never disappoint me. Most actors are stupid but they think otherwise because they get so much attention from their job.
I think Bryan was reasonable enought. He wasnt disrespectful, he listened, was very civil in the discussion. I dont think that is a profile of a stupid person.
Oh yeah, good luck fending off against the heavily armed and armored cops and troops with your little boomstick, for the time being it sure seems useful for... that thing that happens in schools
I grew up in the Texas public school system and we learned about the Atlantic Slave Trade, US Slavery, the civil war, jim crow, and Civil Right every year from 4th grade to 12th grade. That’s not “whispering”.
US seems to have a misunderstanding of how history should be taught. History should be taught like geography or chemistry, ONLY FACTS. History shouldn't be taught to assign guilty or victimhood. Worst still on today's people. Of course, people should know about atrocities committed in the past, & acknowledging them. They should however be taught from a factual neutral perspective. It should be a lesson for everyone, & not based on associating with the people in the past. If history is done right, Slavery, WW2, the Mongol invasion etc should be taught similarly in every place & country. Lesson from the past is teaching us what to do, not to do, not about the association of people today. It's about what everyone ought not to do, & not your ancestors did something bad, or your ancestors were the victims of some other group associated with some group today. This is not history!!
I will say it's nice to see people willing to have this conversation and not just shut each other down by name calling and dismissing one another. Next step for Bryan is actually listening.

CRT is in fact, a theory. It has ZERO business being a requirement in school, at any level. If college kids want to sign up for those classes, by all means - go for it.
Since it isn't a requirement anywhere, what are you talking about? Why do you make shit up then argue against it like you're some kind of patriot warrior?
I'm about to turn 40 this year, and I will say that even as far back as elementary school, I was made to feel bad about being white because of what some old dead people did to some other old dead people. While I left school with an understanding of how previous cultural and ethnic groups interacted, the primary thing I associate with any discussion of race relations is resentment, because there is nothing I can do to avoid being branded a bad person. Never done anything racist in your life? Struggle to view people as individuals rather than members of a group defined by arbitrary characteristics like skin color? Doesn't matter, you're white, it's your fault and you should feel bad.
Adam Smith I'm sorry you experienced that at such a young age, but our response to our trauma is not about you neither can it be regulated by you. Nothing in the responses to systemic racism against the collective Black community (nor other communities of persons of color) is intended to make white people "...feel bad..." nor is it intended to "brand" white people as "bad" however, this has not stopped white people from creating laws against the teaching of CRT BECAUSE they "...feel bad...". CRT is not a 'clap back' and shouldn't be reduced to such and although you shouldn't be triggered by actual history, your community has never taken full responsibility for nor have they been willing to tolerate acurate education about that history and the contemporary results. If people disassociate themselves from slavery and minimize the event as you have ("...because of what some old dead people did to some old dead people...") and are resistant to honest conversation, none of us will heal. Your individual personhood is not at issue, rather the actions of your ancestral collective which we are still struggling to rectify today. Slavery as practiced by and within America is not your fault. Your aversion to active, honest, meaningful, focused conversation (CRT) about its effect upon those who were victimized and thier decendency...is. Remember laws were created by and for the benefit of white people to subjugate harvested Africans. So if Black people can live through systemic genocide because of the color of thier skin, white people can survive conversation about it.
Is not about racism as individual people just for being white. The point discuss here is racism as an institution, coming from the state institutions, from the laws!!! THAT what is being fought! Institutional racism. Racism is not biologically inserted in the skin just cause white people has less melanin than darker people?? It is in the way you view the world and the people around you? You should NEVER feel bad for being white??? I command you for judging people individually for the content of their morals and acts and not for the color of their or nationality.
I grew up in Czech Republic and even in the Czech schools we were made feel bad for slavery... Of course not a single teacher mention the 'tiny detail' that about one million whites were themselves enslaved in the past. I actually grew up thinking slavery was an invention of us whites.... When this Cranston guy said the history of slavery is merely being whispered, I wanted to slap him real hard.... Whispered???? The entire society in pretty much the entire Wester world can't shut up about it even for 5 minutes. It's one of the few topics that are screamed out loud and that never go away.... Whispered.... My God what an idiot.
In the words of Winston Churchill: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” It is so important to learn the real history of the country, from slavery to the genocide of the Native American. The promise of America must be available to all citizens, whether white, black, or brown.

Cranston thinks CRT is the only way anyone can learn history so we have to keep it in schools' curriculum. Somehow I learned history, including that there was slavery, long before CRT. Oh, and by the way, proponents of CRT swear that CRT was never taught in schools. What we don't teach is that there are more slaves now than before 1860, that every one of us is descended from slaves, that African-Americans also owned slaves (black, white, native), that Africans were the original slaver-traders, and that Europeans could NEVER have taken slaves from Africa except that Africans were coming to the shore to sell them. We should probably learn that too.
My middle school history teacher made us watch Glory 4 times. One of the few shining memorable, useful moments of my time in school. On top of getting constantly asked for my ID and seeing a student waste a future doctor’s time by asking which he thought was better: WCW or NWO. Pretty much sums up my experience with the police state that is modern public education. I love learning new things, but American schools stopped being about preparing the next generation for a brighter future a long time ago.
It's a good movie, and well worth watching at least once, but I wonder why she made you watch it four times. In about the same amount of time you could've watched it once, and Ken Burns' 1990 documentary _The Civil War_.
The point of speaking about it is to remember it and not to return to it. Conservatives have long been underminding education in general, but in particular history of the US that is not favorable to its image. The movement seen today is a counter to those decades of undermining.
It should be noted that Florida banned a college level course about CRT. Banning courses that adults can choose wether or not to take is an infringement on individual liberties and textbook government censorship.
Critical Race Theory, or the Critical Theory of Race is an idea that the society has been created by white people, and it was set up in a way that favours them (white people), and to the detriment of all other races. Critical Race Theorists do not argue that this was the case once uppon the time, when black people were considered a comodity, or that there were treated unequally by laws. They argue instead that culture and norms embedded within, treat white and non white (specifically black) people unequally. Hence the idea that race determines one's place in society. Teaching this to people as if it was a true state of the world, is doing them, and the broaded society a disservice. Perhaps this could be incorporated into a course about political philosophies, along Fashism, Marxism, Communism etc.
"That’s outstanding. And that’s the thing. It’s become very fashionable in the last couple of decades to forget what good government can do, what good union organizing can do. The idea that benevolent capitalists will just take care of us and the people on top will magically distribute wealth and happiness and security to us little people … no. It’s time we wised up. Strength comes from community in all things. Dunkirk is one of those stories." -Christophe Nolan :)
I went to elementary school in the 90s and it was a catholic school (so you'd think maybe more conservative) we learned all about slavery and Jim Crow laws we were even shown roots drive home the point. They are just so isolated in Hollywood that they have no idea what Americans are actually like.
@@mike-mz6yz I’m from Burbank. Where all the Hollywood types with kids live. They should know better. But they believe what their friends tell them over their own experiences. Like a cult.
It's sad that neither Maher nor Cranston understand what Critical Race Theory is. CRT is not a phrase that is interchangeable with the phrase African American history. CRT is not ever taught to school children. It is a college course, primarily for students (especially law students) that teaches the history of how laws were created and affected by systems such as Jim Crow and other discriminatory codes followed by many states, especially in the south.
Im from New Zealand. We never learnt anything in our schools about American history or the slave trade and yet I still know EVERYTHING about it. I know when it started, when it ended, which states had it, how the slaves were treated, the civil war, the reconstruction, the fight for civil rights, Lincoln, MLK, all of it. Do not think that schools are the only place you learn and don't think the US is ever quiet about the subject. If someone on the other side of the planet can learn it this well passively, I think the US is fine.
Idk man, in my country we learn a lot about how the US has fucked over other countries by helping coups, dictators, invasions under the pretence of them bringing freedom And online I have seem plenty of american people who still firmly believe that the US was indeed bringing freedom and that the US never did anything wrong
No, Bill is the voice of self-interest. Anything that the Left is for, he's against. He blames them for losing his original show on ABC and for him almost losing his current show after he used the N-word. Fact is, CRT is NOT taught to five-year-olds. It's a graduate-school curriculum.
The issue with CRT is everyone seems to have a different idea on what it means Like conservatives are out here in this comment section going : "he is wrong about CRT! He doesn't know what it means, here's what it actually means!" When will everyone here understand that arguing about semantics is pointless? It's a debate that is bound to run in circles. What matters is the actual content of Cranston's words. Nothing he says that should be taught in school, like racism in history etc, should be controversial, even to conservative folks on the internet.
Bill Maher says that Critical Race Theory was introduced in colleges, then moves on to say that CRT shouldn't be taught to 5 year olds. There is a big gap there. Given that most Americans don't go to college, I think it would be a good idea to debate when to introduce students to our history of racism, slavery, and discrimination. What is the right age for kids to learn about bias, prejudice, and racism? Given that serious topics like sex education are taught in middle school, I think it should be in Grade 7 or 8. Bill Maher would do well to hone in on this precisely rather than make vague comments like teaching CRT to 5-year olds is not appropriate.

Celebrities like Bryan Cranston would be a nightmare at a Hollywood party. You would be there trying to have a good time and he would talk your ear off with cliche liberal talking points.
The problem with everyone is the extreme. The right took CRT and ran with it as a political talking point, but most people don't understand whatever really is. The fact that so many people are upset about it is the main reason we should all be learning about it, whether you agree with it or not.
“That’s why other countries dont have a second amendment.” No Bill, we aren’t the only ones that had slaves, that isn’t why the second amendment exists
It really amazes me how there are many who are not in the school system but are such experts that they know that race, slavery, Jim Crow and Civil rights are not being discussed. They have no clue… these topics are widely examined and covered in a school’s history curriculum. Cranston seems to be just regurgitating things he’s watched or read and acts as if he is an expert.
So glad Bill called out Cranston on this it's RIDICULOUS the crap he's spouting..and wasn't Cranston moving to Canada if Trump won? Why is he even still in the country?
Policies being created to stop opinions that are different to theirs. It's a dangerous step. Banning books with opinions you don't like is crazy. Free speech out the window. Debate is truly dead. Opinions and points of view are now being cancelled.

My schools didn’t teach about red lining and other laws that prevented people who were not white from accumulating wealth through real estate. This is essential knowledge for a realistic understanding of the current economic landscape. We need to take these things into account when voting for affordable education, housing, reparations etc.. We are very much affected by this history in the present day and it must be taught. Thanks Bryan Cranston for not being a basic reactionary like Bill is these days. Germans teach about the holocaust without invoking self hatred. We can do the same. Otherwise, we are showing no remorse and history will repeat.
I love how it went from CRT isn't being taught in school to it is and that's a good thing
I know right? Literally I saw liberals losing their minds in my state about a bill being proposed to ban CRT, how it was never taught and how it's not being taught anywhere, while I literally knew teachers that were saying that would continue teaching it until the law took effect.
It was a wild tactic to tell parents they were wrong about what their kids were learning in school… when their kids were just home for zoom school for a year and a half and parents literally saw it with their own eyes
Critical race theory is a literal college course, so it isnt in HS or MS.
The only thing in HS or MS in that regard is teaching how racism functioned in the US and the civil rights movements that occurred. Republicans fear mongered that it was widespread bullshit of telling kids they were evil. Which has not happened except rare examples that got punished for doing so.
Laws outlawing it, and being overly broad in such, were idiotic and pointless.
That's by design
Sickening.
Bryan ... I'm a Romanian millennial living across the world from you and even I know you had segregation. this is not a topic that is underdiscussed in American society and culture. what you actually want isn't to have people know that there was segregation. what you want is for white Americans living today to constantly make amends for something that happened before they were born. it's not that people don't know about segregation. it's that they don't feel personally responsible for it which they shouldn't because they had nothing to do with it.
When we still have bills laws etc based on those feelings in the past you can't claim that we should just over look redlining the neglect of GI bills to black soldiers etc. Naw we are not just going to overlook that because it makes you uncomfortable. You don't want to be held responsible then push to have these bills getting rid of. Otherwise this is never going to go away. It didn't in the 1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, etc. Cut it out

I learned about slavery, Jim Crow, and racism in high school in the late 70s and early 80s in junior high and high school. How I dealt with it has a lot to do with my home life. My (single) mother (natch) used to have cocktail parties all the time, and the people I met at those parties as a kid were blacks, Asians (my mom's best friend was Korean), gays, probably Jews, I'm not sure that I would have known the difference between Jews and whomever else at that time, freaks, and so on. The only people my mother couldn't abide were hippies. But, again, freaks were fine. Because of this, to this day, at the age of 58, I still don't really understand racism. I'm well aware of it, but it makes no sense. My mom was a terrible parent, but I'm grateful for this aspect of my upbringing.
Take a drive through a blue city ghetto at night with the windows open and you'll learn the difference in races and their culture
@@yourgooglemeister6745 Uuhhh...OK.
I had a similar upbringing in terms of the people I grew up around, but mine was because I lived and went to school in the middle of a major city in the South. My neighbors, classmates, teachers, friends, people at the grocery store, etc. were from all walks of life, nationalities, ethnicities, lifestyles, religions, income level, etc. My home life, however, was much different than yours, as my family was full of racist, homophobic bigots. So I would hear one thing at home, but when I went out into the world I saw something totally different. It didn’t take me very long to figure out that my family and their views were nothing but lies and that everyone was just trying to live their lives in peace and not be treated unfairly/differently just because of who they are. Nobody chooses to be Black or gay or whatever. But people do *choose* to hate, and they should be called out on their bigoted views to their face every single time.
If you still don’t understand racism (at 59 now?), there’s a really good scene from the movie Mississippi Burning that I think is a great way to explain it. Gene Hackman’s character talks about a memory from his childhood about his daddy and a Black man who lived down the road. They were both farmers, but the Black farmer was "luckier" than his father, and was able to make enough money to buy a mule (which was a big deal back then) and eventually rent even more farmland. His daddy’s friends teased him about how the Black farmer was better than him, and it made him so angry that he ended up poisoning the water on the Black farmer’s land and killing the mule. A short time later, while Hackman and his father were driving by the Black man’s farm, they noticed that he was gone, and his daddy became very happy. Hackman saw the smile on his daddy’s face and knew instantly that it was his father that had killed the mule, and his father looked back at Hackman and knew he knew. His father was ashamed, but he tried to save face with his son and said something along the lines of, "If a man isn’t any better than a _____ (insert racial slur here), then who is he better than?”
I’d encourage you to look up the clip (I think it’s called "Why do people hate?") because Hackman does a better job of explaining it than I can here, but basically hating a group of people for whatever reason (skin color, sexual orientation, etc.) allows someone to feel superior and never have to admit the truth to themselves *about* themselves (that they’re lazy, no good, a loser, etc.). It’s a way to excuse their own failures and shortcomings in life without ever having to take any accountability for themselves. I mean, you’d be hard pressed to find someone is happy with themselves and their life who is also a racist, ya know?
LMAO. sounds like you would've been way better off with a mom more concerned with, you know, being a parent, then showing you & the world how "progressive" & "tolerant" she was. good grief.
i came from North Africa to the us as an immigrant and believe me no other country teaches it's history about slavery as the us does, and Bryan should know that in some countries the salve markets were closed up to the sixties and the eighties, plus calling hollywoodien camp as the humanistic side is ridiculous, because it's the same franchise that caters to China
It’s self-loathing. They knowingly turn a blind eye to the rest of the world to get their money while talking about how terrible America is. It makes them feel better about themselves. They probably also think that the louder they are in pronouncing their own righteousness no one could possibly accuse them of ignoring human rights in other countries so they can cash their big checks. It’s deflection.
Amen!
Slavery still exists with India having over 7 million and china around 4 million slaves being the biggest...This is modern slavery so it includes stuff like child labor and even military's conscription. (which at least the last one I dont think should be included since all countries use the draft when in serious wars) Still millions are in more tradition slavery.
Cranston is a complete doofus. Great actor, very limited common sense. A wealthy, white liberal lecturing the ordinary folk just like his peers.
Except we don't learn about slavery in school
It’s funny because when I was in school 10 years ago, in Texas, I learned all of this. There’s nothing I’ve learned in the last few years that has contradicted the things I had learned in school. My teachers didn’t present slavery in any way other than the facts, and none of them were sugar coating anything. While it’s anecdotal, it’s still unfair to just say “well they don’t teach this anymore” when A LOT of people are also just dumb and not paying attention
@Jessiedoggie Don't conflate CRT with teaching about American history. People just don't want their classes preaching the idea that there is white privilege and that some people are naturally better off than others. Why? Because it is incorrect and very racist. Ibram X Kendi was wrong to think that the only way to overcome past discrimination is present discrimination. It will only breed more hate and racism
@Jessiedoggie you realize CRT isn’t just teaching about slavery, it’s teaching white people that they’re inherently bad people and aren’t deserving of what they have. It teaches you to hold guilt over things you have no control over, things you or your great grandparents weren’t even alive (or in the US like mine). I am white but I hold no responsibility for what happened in the past. I had no part in the slave trade. Nobody in my family that I’ve ever met has been involved in the slave trade (oldest great grandma was 97 in 2011) but I’m supposed to feel guilty because of something that happened hundreds of years before I was born? I know that laws were pretty fucked up in the south for a long time after abolition, but to hold white people accountable for things they can’t control is asinine. If you want to go after the plantation owners, monopolists, and founding fathers & their heirs, go for it. Most people did not own slaves, roughly 5-6% of southern whites owned slaves and a majority were small farm operations. CRT won’t teach you this but during slavery many farmers weren’t “getting rich off of slave labor”, they were barely scraping by as tobacco and cotton prices were very volatile. It’s not the “ideal” image you’re thinking of when talking about slavery, but “YT” people aren’t your enemy or whatever you want to call it. The same founding fathers and politicians of colonial America have turned into political and economic dynasties, along with large plantation owners in the south (some/a lot were founding fathers lol). George Washington owned slaves, along with many other presidents before the UK “banned the slave trade” and opinions changed worldwide. If you actually read into slavery, you’ll understand why CRT is being pushed by liberals. The slaves weren’t “stolen” from Africa like everyone has thought and heard, rather they were captured and sold by rival kingdoms for profit. Kings would invade neighbors and take as many prisoners as possible to trade with Europeans, Americans, and other African nations. Btw, a little “fun” fact about slavery is that the Portuguese were nearly the only Europeans to raid and steal slaves, since their proximity to Africa helped their immunity to malaria and other diseases. Most Europeans/Americans would die within a year or two while in Africa from malaria, dysentery, malnourishment, or injury/animal/battle related deaths. Africa in the 1600s-1800s was as dangerous for non Africans as smallpox and measles were to native Americans in that same time. PC culture has changed history for the worse.
I'm not opposed to teaching our past I just don't think a political agenda should be pushed with it.
How would most people know what’s even taught in schools if they don’t have kids who can accurately regurgitate what’s been taught in school. Going to public School in New York I never heard that slavery was the reason for all problems in the US but neither that it didn’t happen. History was my favourite subject in school and my education at my state school was pretty bad. I’m going to one of the top universities in uk for my masters and I feel I had such a horrible education from educated compared to what “colleges” can provide. I also feel that the teaching style is much better than how classes are taught at your standard large university mine was public. The education system is really the only compliment I have about the uk rest of it is shit compared to the US.
I was homeschooled over 20 years ago with ultra conservative christian curriculum and I was taught all these things then.
It’s surprising to me that Bryan and the extreme woke believe most schools aren’t teaching proper history and never have. I was born in 1984 and absolutely was taught all about slavery, Jim Crow, segregation. We even had an assignment in 7th or 8th grade where we had to go home and talk to our parents to see what they remember from that time. I agree with Bill that most schools are still teaching this today. How could they not?

Cranston is stating how long simple progress took in order to illuminate how much progress there is still left to be done. Cranston is very right on this issue. Also, the schools that are teaching CRT to small kids are minimal if it exists at all. It’s anecdotal. What DeSantis in Florida is doing is banning AP African American studies. It’s a racist move to play to a base. It’s also a bad political calculation. But CRT is by and large taught in colleges. The right are just using it to fearmonger.

Well said
No the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with England. It was primarily to avoid having a standing army during times of peace and instead have the equivalent of what the national guard is today. Where race comes into play is that this national guard was originally supposed to be equally summoned by the federal government but in the slave states that was also their slave patrol and the slave owners knew they would be screwed if the slave patrol was summoned so thus the second amendment was changed from "security of a free nation" to "the security of a free state."
Marxist? Oh, you mean like what Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X were? Like that thing? :)
"The latter is a Marxist position where any disparity of outcome is the result of the seen or unseen hand of "racism""-that is because the only other possible explanation (it's just their genes, their DNA, they were born that way) is, believe it or not, racist
Hey. Europe here again. I really wonder who started this narrative that any of these issues are related to "marxism". I guess they needed a term that to the minds of the Americans was synonymous to evil. We got millions of Marxists in Europe. None of them express or promote any of these positions that you are discussing.
@@MegasSalavatis What you're seeing here is an example of "cultural marxism", which is a new spin on "cultural bolshivism"... which is a conspiracy theory, that was made up... by the nazis.
The founders fear of a king having control of the military was why the 2nd amendment was there...not to overthrow someone like that but to prevent them from having a personal army. They were fearful of having a standing army under the control of an authoritarian, which is also why military funding has to be renewed every year instead of putting up long term funding. The guns were to be provided by the government, but state governments were tasked with organizing the units and providing the leadership structure.
The more you see race, the more divisive you are. Society never wants us to get to a point when color is a nonissue, because conflict gives people power.
How is it that some cannot see and understand this?
Especially black people. They crave being called “victim”.
That is correct, the people who are emphasizing race in everything are using it as a tool to gain power, not equality.
Lol 1 of those “ I don’t c color huh. “
@@jhh997 Nah, we do see color. We just don’t make it our whole personality trait.
Ok you’re black, cool.
Ok you’re white, cool.
It’s that simple. The fact that people see another skin color and become mad at that person for it is wild.
Like, you’re mad over a different skin color? LOL… INSANE.
Sadly, the point that Bill can’t wrap his head around is the fact that “1964”, etc. was not just a “long time ago” in relative history. Most 60+ year olds (like himself) from that era are still alive today. As Bryan said in this interview, he mentioned how people with White Privilege (or as Bill calls it, White Advantage) are innately oblivious to the fact that being white has generally worked in their favor through their life, considering all the possible highs and lows we all face. They are both from an entire generation of American youth raised in times where greater social barriers existed.
In relation to CRT, don’t you think teaching it’s history is important to learning the mistakes of previous generations and civilizations, especially in the case of 18th, 19th and 20th century African American racism that is very much alive to this day in the 21st century, IN 2023? People like Bill are immediately repulsed by the idea that “whites” created U.S slavery and it’s effects of discrimination are still visible today. This isn’t to say “whites” are inherently bad people, but that in terms of social dynamics with blacks and other minority groups, they are the ones participating in structures that were founded to excel white progress more so than groups of people deemed 3/5ths of a person.
Even though he and most other whites alive today are not responsible for slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws, etc., they fail to fully recognize that they reap benefits to their own self fulfillment because the system was first made to support whites and keep blacks on a social level lower that did not support their equality and success as Americans in a country that so ironically branded itself with the phrase “Liberty and Justice for All”.
Ask the poor whites in East Palestine, OH how much their 'white privilege' is helping them out right now

CRT is a collegiate course studied by law students. It is NEVER taught to 5 year olds, and it never will be. There is nothing in the curriculum that suggests White children should 'feel badly' . It is a course that examines the impact of slavery upon American systems of government. Slavery was abolished in 1865 yet the last slave ship (The Cotilde) arrived in Alabama 20 years later. The civil rights movement occurred approximately one generation afterward...meaning people were alive at that time who's fathers and mothers were slaves. True enough we should live in the present but these atrocities happened less than 3 generations ago and all CRT does is talk about them as it relates to deliberate systemic racism. However, If 6 year old baby Ruby Bridges can survive being escorted to school by federal marshals in 1960, then 5 year old little Becky can survive learning about it in 2023. When America can acknowledge what it has done, it will be forgiven.

CRT has existed for years. It apparently was created in the 70s
But people on Fox News are telling you it's a new thing you don't want and you're failing for it.
Being “programmed”?
This country teaches a white washed version of US history to kids. It is ingrained into the books and curriculum.
For someone who went to school in the 60s, how can you now say "this is 2023" and use that as an excuse to understanding what is being taught in schools? How do you know the curriculum? Have you read the text books and sat in on the discussions? On top of the fact, no one is saying kindergartners are needing to be taught CRT. This discussion is for students who are learning more granular historical events (Middle School and High School).
The idea of teaching it, is to counteract the white washing, and teach a truer version of the events and situations of the past. Not in English class, not in math class and not during PE. but History classes.... if we cannot agree that our history lessons should not be white washed, then we are on very opposite sides of the fence.
There seems to be no issue teaching how Nazis murdered millions of people in WW2, their living conditions, they way they were treated... from the eyes of the oppressed and in great detail.... but we can't teach Americanized Slavery and the essence of American White Privilege in the same fashion? We can't teach how hundreds of years of marginalizing and oppressing an entire ethnic group of people caused lasting socioeconomic issues?
This is where I get confused on this discussion.
Either way... Still love you Bill
Bill Maher: Champion of those offended by those who get offended by people like Bill Maher.
At the end of the day, it's public school. It comes from taxpayer dollars. The taxpayers in that area vote on what is taught. A part of democracy is not getting what you want, and not telling others what to do.
That’s not really how it works. Then a place in the deep woods of Alabama would probably vote on teaching about hunting. And I’m not just talking about animals.

Great stuff. Two adults talking and hashing stuff out. Free speech at its finest.
So much is undisclosed about the attack on Black Wall Street, about current day inequity
US seems to have a misunderstanding of how history should be taught. History should be taught like geography or chemistry, ONLY FACTS. History shouldn't be taught to assign guilty or victimhood. Worst still on today's people.
Of course, people should know about atrocities committed in the past, & acknowledging them. They should however be taught from a factual neutral perspective. It should be a lesson for everyone, & not based on associating with the people in the past. If history is done right, Slavery, WW2, the Mongol invasion etc should be taught similarly in every place & country.
Lesson from the past is teaching us what to do, not to do, not about the association of people today. It's about what everyone ought not to do, & not your ancestors did something bad, or your ancestors were the victims of some other group associated with some group today. This is not history!!
Bryan Cranston had to be a slave owner in a past life to have such a guilt complex.

I'm about to turn 40 this year, and I will say that even as far back as elementary school, I was made to feel bad about being white because of what some old dead people did to some other old dead people. While I left school with an understanding of how previous cultural and ethnic groups interacted, the primary thing I associate with any discussion of race relations is resentment, because there is nothing I can do to avoid being branded a bad person. Never done anything racist in your life? Struggle to view people as individuals rather than members of a group defined by arbitrary characteristics like skin color? Doesn't matter, you're white, it's your fault and you should feel bad.
Adam Smith
I'm sorry you experienced that at such a young age, but our response to our trauma is not about you neither can it be regulated by you. Nothing in the responses to systemic racism against the collective Black community (nor other communities of persons of color) is intended to make white people "...feel bad..." nor is it intended to "brand" white people as "bad" however, this has not stopped white people from creating laws against the teaching of CRT BECAUSE they "...feel bad...". CRT is not a 'clap back' and shouldn't be reduced to such and although you shouldn't be triggered by actual history, your community has never taken full responsibility for nor have they been willing to tolerate acurate education about that history and the contemporary results. If people disassociate themselves from slavery and minimize the event as you have ("...because of what some old dead people did to some old dead people...") and are resistant to honest conversation, none of us will heal. Your individual personhood is not at issue, rather the actions of your ancestral collective which we are still struggling to rectify today. Slavery as practiced by and within America is not your fault. Your aversion to active, honest, meaningful, focused conversation (CRT) about its effect upon those who were victimized and thier decendency...is. Remember laws were created by and for the benefit of white people to subjugate harvested Africans. So if Black people can live through systemic genocide because of the color of thier skin, white people can survive conversation about it.
Is not about racism as individual people just for being white. The point discuss here is racism as an institution, coming from the state institutions, from the laws!!! THAT what is being fought! Institutional racism. Racism is not biologically inserted in the skin just cause white people has less melanin than darker people?? It is in the way you view the world and the people around you? You should NEVER feel bad for being white??? I command you for judging people individually for the content of their morals and acts and not for the color of their or nationality.
I grew up in Czech Republic and even in the Czech schools we were made feel bad for slavery... Of course not a single teacher mention the 'tiny detail' that about one million whites were themselves enslaved in the past. I actually grew up thinking slavery was an invention of us whites.... When this Cranston guy said the history of slavery is merely being whispered, I wanted to slap him real hard.... Whispered???? The entire society in pretty much the entire Wester world can't shut up about it even for 5 minutes. It's one of the few topics that are screamed out loud and that never go away.... Whispered.... My God what an idiot.
You felt bad? Way to make black people's enslavement about you.

In the words of Winston Churchill: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” It is so important to learn the real history of the country, from slavery to the genocide of the Native American. The promise of America must be available to all citizens, whether white, black, or brown.

Cranston thinks CRT is the only way anyone can learn history so we have to keep it in schools' curriculum. Somehow I learned history, including that there was slavery, long before CRT. Oh, and by the way, proponents of CRT swear that CRT was never taught in schools.
What we don't teach is that there are more slaves now than before 1860, that every one of us is descended from slaves, that African-Americans also owned slaves (black, white, native), that Africans were the original slaver-traders, and that Europeans could NEVER have taken slaves from Africa except that Africans were coming to the shore to sell them. We should probably learn that too.

Conservatives have long been underminding education in general, but in particular history of the US that is not favorable to its image. The movement seen today is a counter to those decades of undermining.
It should be noted that Florida banned a college level course about CRT. Banning courses that adults can choose wether or not to take is an infringement on individual liberties and textbook government censorship.
Critical Race Theory, or the Critical Theory of Race is an idea that the society has been created by white people, and it was set up in a way that favours them (white people), and to the detriment of all other races. Critical Race Theorists do not argue that this was the case once uppon the time, when black people were considered a comodity, or that there were treated unequally by laws. They argue instead that culture and norms embedded within, treat white and non white (specifically black) people unequally. Hence the idea that race determines one's place in society.
Teaching this to people as if it was a true state of the world, is doing them, and the broaded society a disservice. Perhaps this could be incorporated into a course about political philosophies, along Fashism, Marxism, Communism etc.

It's sad that neither Maher nor Cranston understand what Critical Race Theory is. CRT is not a phrase that is interchangeable with the phrase African American history. CRT is not ever taught to school children. It is a college course, primarily for students (especially law students) that teaches the history of how laws were created and affected by systems such as Jim Crow and other discriminatory codes followed by many states, especially in the south.

Like conservatives are out here in this comment section going : "he is wrong about CRT! He doesn't know what it means, here's what it actually means!"
When will everyone here understand that arguing about semantics is pointless? It's a debate that is bound to run in circles.
What matters is the actual content of Cranston's words. Nothing he says that should be taught in school, like racism in history etc, should be controversial, even to conservative folks on the internet.
I never thought I’d hear Walter white virtue signal Bill regarding white guilt.
Bill Maher says that Critical Race Theory was introduced in colleges, then moves on to say that CRT shouldn't be taught to 5 year olds. There is a big gap there. Given that most Americans don't go to college, I think it would be a good idea to debate when to introduce students to our history of racism, slavery, and discrimination. What is the right age for kids to learn about bias, prejudice, and racism? Given that serious topics like sex education are taught in middle school, I think it should be in Grade 7 or 8.
Bill Maher would do well to hone in on this precisely rather than make vague comments like teaching CRT to 5-year olds is not appropriate.
Somehow I thought since Bryan played Walter White that meant he was actually smart.

He’s one reasonable comment away from switching to the Republican party at the rate he’s going."-is that.. supposed to be attempting to make Bill look good? I have been paying attention, in fact this is exactly my problem with him. Is your brain turned off or what?
Dude, if you have a problem with Bill Maher, being reasonable and objective, that’s on you and your mental dysfunction. About the only thing that I disagree with Bill on is his constant shit talking of Republicans and Trump. He has been so indoctrinated by leftist ideology that even when he sees common sense and decency being discarded by the Democrat party, he still can’t see them as worse. But he’s getting there.

We need to take these things into account when voting for affordable education, housing, reparations etc.. We are very much affected by this history in the present day and it must be taught. Thanks Bryan Cranston for not being a basic reactionary like Bill is these days.
Germans teach about the holocaust without invoking self hatred. We can do the same. Otherwise, we are showing no remorse and history will repeat.
The problem with critical race theory is that it never ends.
