You are pretty good at this - not really engaging or providing anything foundational. Kinda like digging a foxhole in mud with a half functioning E-tool..

This is not the time for Tortilla chip projectiles!!
The AMHAAC poster includes many items and I see many of them as unarguably admirable traits. I'm surprised about DH's "shocked" response since the poster doesn't say anywhere that those observations about American life are bad things, it just points out that they exist.

Now have a listen to the right shoulder
Well folks, it looks were back to what this has always been about. I wont go too much in the rabbit hole for mistreatment of kids because frankly too many men are asleep. So all guys like dad and espola have left is division, cheating, lying and blaming all this on white people. Insane!!! Bring it on boys. I'm betting that 80% of us Americans want fairness first and not cheaters in charge. I think we can convince 10% of the 20% to come over. The Military will take care of the rest. Fix it now please!!! Little cheaters get caught red handed and what do they do?
I have a piece of property in Florida that I will sell you cheap. It's waterfront, unobstructed views, very quiet, diverse wildlife, no neighbors...all admirable traits for a property.

Per usual you don't actual make a case for what you believe.
You usual song and dance. You criticize something and then when asked to articulate what you believe you move on to more questions.
Tell me why you are defending CRT.
Try that.

No worries.Sorry Hound, comment not directed at you, but at the creator of the poster.The poster is wholly inappropriate, its not favorable to either blacks or whites. It just shows you the power of a group think narrative that the Smithsonian would even consider putting it up. An example of the dangers of pure political correctness. I don't see how separating us into monolithic groups does anything to help combat racism.
And your comments are completely correct.

That is what he always does.
He never actually makes an argument pro or against anything. So there is no engagement on his part.
Your attempt at a diversion will not fend off the next question -- Which of the traits in the poster do you not find to be admirable?
You just claimed (look up the page) that I am pro-CRT (whatever that is in your mind).
Best thing to do is IGNORE….unless, of course, you enjoy playing his little games.

The poster is ignorant on so many levels. To attribute these traits to jus white people is offensive on so many levels. Hard work, self reliance, etc is a white trait? Don't tell that to Asians, Hispanics, and Black Americans - I'm sure I left someone out. I'm fine with academics having less than intellectual debates. I'm also fine with ridiculing the crap out of things like this - because it's dumb.
Yeah, that was a pretty weak diversion on my part, I could learn a few pointers from you if I paid more attention.

I don't defend the pile of swamp muck that you seem to believe is CRT.
You didn't answer the question.

How are they just attributing them to just white people? The poster is specific to white people. I'd assume that if they have one for Asians, Hispanics or Black Americans, they could repeat many or all the same traits.
I sure as hell hope not. While there are admirable traits in the poster that aren't inherent to any race there are some blatant stereotypes. Skinny blond girls? Even if it were remotely true its irrelevant to the conversation. The poster clearly presents whiteness in the pejorative. The idea that there are other race counter-points to these traits based on stereotyping to be put on a poster is disturbing.
I can only hope that the poster was done in the name of really bad satire.
The General is correct in a general sense, although he got a few details wrong. It's 3/5 of a person, not 3/4, and I don't know who he thinks was a Green Beret, unless that was meant as a passive-aggressive jab at Jughead.
