I always LOVE to "hear" what You have to "say," Steve. There are so MANY things I'd like to comment on. But I'll limit myself to this one point:
"we can agree that there’s a great deal of dishonesty in the way that some people talk about race at the moment."
IF You have time, and I know You may not, here's a link to some CRTers: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/06/loudoun-county-critical-race-theory-debacle.html I wonder what You think of this group of high self-acclaim that's been formed: https://www.educatingforamericandemocracy.org/ Their express purpose, as far as I can see from the article, is to implement CRT in schools "in all but name." When I see a red flag like that pop up, I distrust the entire idea of the thing. What scares me is their blatant lies. The group CLAIMS to be made of "a diverse and cross-ideological group of scholars and educators..." "Cross-ideological" doesn't belong in the same sentence as "scholars and educators." THey ALL believe in CRT.
Yep, I'm thinking that the article after next will specifically tackle CRT (unless I get distracted). It's a rich topic, and yes, I agree, many of the people talking about it are being staggeringly dishonest. Interestingly enough, this is true on both sides of the debate.
And if You ever DO find anything dishonest in what I say, Steve, call me OUT! We may have to agree to disagree on some things but, generally, if I see I've done something wrong I make a real quick correction.

In another case, there's Kendi. He makes point that black business-people don't get loans in same percentage as white folk. He neglects to point out any solution, WHICH IS ALREADY AVAILABLE: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/supervision-and-examinations/consumer-compliance-examination-manual/documents/4/iv-1-1.pdf What's needed, to me and I believe You, Steve, is ENFORCEMENT, not more blathering by those ego-driven.
I guess I should say, "In My Humble Opinion."
As always, TYTY for Your wisdom, Steve. :) = 😊😊

Can't WAIT! (Hope You don't find anything dishonest in what I write.)
