In a paper done by the National Information Forum, The “great replacement” theory, in simple terms, states that welcoming immigration policies — particularly those impacting nonwhite immigrants — are part of a plot designed to undermine or “replace” the political power and culture of white people living in Western countries.

America is struggling with its reasoning and responses to population replacement, or the “great replacement” theory. Like so many demographic issues, the composition of America’s population has become highly politicized, partisan and divisive.

Promoted by racist, antisemitic, xenophobic and white supremacist groups and spread by some media outlets, the great replacement is a conspiracy theory about changes in the composition of America’s population. The great replacement theory centers on the belief that nonwhite, non-Christian people are being brought to America for the purpose of replacing the white Christian majority population in order to establish a new political and socio-cultural agenda.  

It has moved from the fringe of racist political movements to become prominent in American politics. A recent poll found that 61 percent of Americans who voted for former President Trump agree with the idea behind the great replacement theory

In this episode of The Walt Weekly Podcast, host Walt and co-host Ernest J. Robinson welcome Edmond W. Davis, a world-class speaker, historian, and professor. The conversation delves into Davis's background, his advocacy for teaching history from an Afrocentric perspective, and the importance of HBCUs in empowering African American students. Davis discusses the alarming rates of violence among African American males and the need for community education and empowerment. The episode also touches on the role of media in shaping narratives about black communities and concludes with a discussion about the upcoming HBCU Black Wall Street Career Fest, aimed at connecting students with job opportunities.

Planning on spending that money? Do you think that it is justified to accept? There are many takes on this settlement for work and discrimination during the 400 years of black slavery and the Jim Crow era. This degradation continues up until today.

Initially my reaction to Reparations was “I don’t need any handouts”. But further evaluation led to this thought: My ancestors contributed a concrete value to this country and that was labor and blood. That has to be considered as unpaid salary. This salary should be passed down to their descendants. This is just logical. This is not like the Japanese or Jewish reparations and should not be compared. Black Slavery was continuous labor and discrimination. There is no comparison!

Andino Ward joins us this week to discuss Critical Race Theory.

We did not realize that CRT would bring such strong disagreements within our team. It did. So we have to do Part II.

Definition

Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.

The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.

26 States are taking action to circumvent CRT and the Republicans are livid!

Once the team had secured the convention center, they departed. But Patel didn’t like that.
