An African American father tore into his local school board blasting Critical Race Theory, claiming it teaches kids to hate each other, according to The Daily Wire.
“When you talk about Critical Race Theory, which is pretty much gonna be teaching kids how to hate each other, how to dislike each other … it’s pretty much what it’s all going to come down to,” Ty Smith stated.
“You going to deliberately teach kids, this white kid right here got it better than you because he white? You going to purposely tell a white kid, ‘Oh, the black people are all down and suppressed.’ How do I have two medical degrees if I’m sitting here oppressed?”
“Two medical degrees. No mom, no dad in the house. Worked my way through college, sat there and hustled my butt off to get through college.”
“You going to tell me somebody look like all y’all white folks kept me from doing it? Are you serious? Not one white person ever came to me and said, ‘Well son, you’re never gonna be able to get nowhere because, you know, the black people.’”
“Well, how did I get where I am right now if some white man kept me down?”
“How am I now directing over folks that look just like you guys in this room right now? How? What kept me down? What oppressed me? I worked myself from off the streets to where I am right now, and you’re going to sit here and tell me this lie of Critical Race Theory?
Of this, the reason why black folks can’t get ahead because of white folks? Are you kidding me? This is what we’ve come to? I can’t believe we even talking about this right now.”

TRANSCRIPT:
TY SMITH, ILLINOIS FATHER: When you talk about Critical Race Theory, which is pretty much gonna be teaching kids how to hate each other, how to dislike each other … it’s pretty much what it’s all going to come down to. You going to deliberately teach kids, this white kid right here got it better than you because he white? You going to purposely tell a white kid, “Oh, the black people are all down and suppressed.” How do I have two medical degrees if I’m sitting here oppressed?
Two medical degrees. No mom, no dad in the house. Worked my way through college, sat there and hustled my butt off to get through college. You going to tell me somebody look like all y’all white folks kept me from doing it? Are you serious? Not one white person ever came to me and said, “Well son, you’re never gonna be able to get nowhere because, you know, the black people,” but guess what? What’s sickening about this whole thing is what y’all doing right now is already something I do in my community right now, to speak out against [this stuff] because black folks are getting told by other black folks, “Oh, you know you ain’t going to be able to nothing out there in the world because them white folks ain’t going to let get no … the white man, the white man gonna keep you down.”
Well, how did I get where I am right now if some white man kept me down? How am I now directing over folks that look just like you guys in this room right now? How? What kept me down? What oppressed me? I worked myself from off the streets to where I am right now, and you’re going to sit here and tell me this lie of Critical Race Theory? Of this, the reason why black folks can’t get ahead because of white folks? Are you kidding me? This is what we’ve come to? I can’t believe we even talking about this right now.
The last thing I’m going to say right here is something that’s crazy. Martin Luther King said he wanted his kids to grow up in the world where they are judged by the contents of their what?
