I don&#039;t see anyone doing that. That said, Jim Crow and the KKK, and the institutional racism that grew from them were not driven by Asians and Latinos. If we want to be honest, we need to acknowledge that whites in the US certainly carry the heaviest burden of culpability.]]></description>

Who else is responsible for the significant racial imbalances (in housing, employment, heath care, the justice system, etc) in the US today?  



While whites are NOT the only ones who can be racist, they are the ones who set up (and maintained) the power structures in the US for centuries.   Although, the overtly racist laws, policies have been rescinded, the &lt;em&gt;effects&lt;/em&gt; of those laws are influencing policies and attitudes in the US today.   And if you would bother to educate your self about what CRT is (and what it &lt;em&gt;actually&lt;/em&gt; teaches) rather than just listening to the propaganda against it, you might see a bit farther.]]></description>

To answer your first two questions: I would say, both yes and no, because they are so complex and it really depends on different specific situations.

As for the third question, I have already provided information several times.]]></description>

The APA resolutions on systemic racism was done by a small number of people of the entire organization. That small number happens to represent the governing body of APA, like board of directors and CEO of any company.  With this being said, there are many APA members who are on both sides, and I am wondering which proportion of psychologists is in line with the pro-CRT political agenda that these resolutions imply.  There is definitely a strong animus for conservatives in the mental health profession, but there are also psychologists, counselors, and social workers who are socially conservative and I believe that these resolutions will only intensify the tiff that&#039;s already been there.  It should be noted about the timing these resolutions were passed. It happened amid fierce complaints among parents throughout the country about teaching CRT and their likes to their children in schools.  It is also interesting to note that last week there has been a victory for Glen Youngkin in Virginia gubernatorial elections, and what helped him to win was his opposition to all that CRT/systemic racism indoctrination and that gives hope for conservatives in that state for at least four years.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;I am worried how many psychologists would be justifying of taking away 
children from their parents who are conservative, especially Bible-based
 Christians, because in the minds of these psychologists, such parents 
are bigots who cause harm to their children, as a result of these and 
other APA resolutions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Fantasies about persecution complexes and victimization is all that&#039;s left when your political ideology becomes bankrupt, and it&#039;s a great way to deny all responsibility for everything you perceive to be wrong with society. There&#039;s always someone else to blame...]]></description>

Do you know how ridiculous this sounds? I don’t think I’ve heard of the APA or the government going after Flat Earthers, Chem Trail seers, and Moon Landing deniers whether they are Bible believing Christians or not. Bigotry and discrimination are not against the law when exercised unofficially and racism has become a leading characteristic of the Republican Party. You poor little Bible believing Christian if this is what keeps you up at night. Such a victim.

Plus, you owe the APA and its members an apology.]]></description>
