Aha! thanks.
I was looking at that list, thinking:
Cathode ray tube

Clamp Replacement tool

Critical Race Theory aka Actual American History acknowledging white supremacy & slavery etc. There's a reason some racist people are against Actual American History being taught to school children.

The history being replaced is partial actual American History that whitewashed white supremacy. The history replacing it also is a partial actual American history because it downplays the good parts of American History. It judges people solely by current standards and solely on their racism. This ignores that humans are complicated creatures.
Critical Race Theory is not a theory centered on history. Oversimplifying it, it posits that most interactions are defined by systematic racism. People have used that theory to as a guideline to replace the history that whitewashed the racist parts of American in ways that I believe is an overcorrection and in some cases racist itself.

Mmhmm. I know it's difficult to accept facts sometimes, but, fact is that white people across the Western hemisphere murdered approximately 100 Million Indigenous people in a near complete genocide as well as enslaved 10.7 Million of the 12.5 Million Africans captured and shipped to the New World - 1.8 Million died en route.
Systems of racial hierarchy have been in place for thousands of years, and the USA (and Canada's) short history are Also examples of where systemic racism has structured society.
If you yourself are not a racist person, it shouldn't be so difficult to have a critical look at our past and acknowledge these things - how they were, how they came to be, and what modern remnants remain to this day.

Impartial critical look is one thing, assuming guilt and working from there is another. Right now America is incapable of taking and impartial look, we are either gods gift to earth, or irredeemable racists that needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.
If you insist on being black & white (thinking) about it; well, you're not gods gift.. sooooooo...
