Condoleezza Rice Denounces The Teaching Of Critical Race Theory: ‘I Don’t Have To Make White Kids Feel Bad For Being White’
While appearing on ABC’s “The View,” former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday denounced the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in schools. She claimed that Black children could be completely empowered without making White children feel bad for their race.
She explained to the hosts, “I grew up in segregated Birmingham, Alabama. I couldn’t go to a movie theater or to a restaurant with my parents,” Rice explained. “I went to segregated schools until we moved to Denver. My parents never thought I was going to grow up in a world without prejudice but they also told me, ‘that’s somebody else’s problem, not yours. You’re going to overcome it, and you are going to be anything you want to be.’ And that’s the message that I think we ought to be sending to kids.”
She added, “One of the worries that I have about the way we’re talking about race, is that it either seems so big that somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past — I don’t think that’s very productive — or black people have to feel disempowered by race,” Rice said. “I would like black kids to be completely empowered to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that I don’t have to make white kids feel bad for being white.”
During her interview, she also talked about What happened on January 6th, calling it absolutely wrong. “I also know that as a government and as a country, we’ve got to be concerned about the things that are making life hard for Americans and hard for American families.”
