The ADL’s teaching on racism is jacked from the beginning. Just for example, this Pyramid of Hate is how they explain it. Everything based on “bias.” Power barely comes into it. History certain doesn’t. Capitalism is completely innocent. (Even worse, it’s a freaking rainbow.)
Why would a civil rights organization do a gorgeous, brave, transformational uprising so completely dirty? The ADL is a 100yo org that has always been run by wealthy, corporate, law&order dudes who absolutely love the state. Also: Israel. Antiracism has always challenged both.
In this “education resource” that will almost certainly be used in schools, the ADL reduces the protests to a blip. And their outcome? "Several members of Congress have introduced a resolution to condemn police brutality, racial profiling and the excessive use of force.” 👀
Even if it posts updates, the message won’t be better. The ADL absolutely erases demands for abolition, and even to #defundpolice. Not a surprise from a “civil rights group” that trains (& honors as justice activists) cops, FBI, & ICE. But awful.
