I tend to view things in the landscape of management.
If I hire you....I kinda expect you to show up on time....be somewhat fit in terms of your mind and body....show some focus and determination in your work....deal with all types of people in your efforts of the day....and want to get ahead in life.
If you show up and your general focus or aspiration is that you feel like a victim....what value are you?
This whole CRT discussion revolves around the idea that something happened over seven generations ago in your family (kinda like the Hatfields and McCoys), and you can't get over that.
I should feel that way....if some Comanche Indian killed three members of my family in the 1840s, or if Nazis killed off an entire group of the family tree in 1940, or if my family were Korean and the Japanese had killed off 90-percent of the family in 1942.
So I see this discussion unfolding....with a fair number of folks trying to live through some past event....not even knowing the name of the relatives in the era under discussion. Adding to this burden, in the true sense of the word....you can't reset anything or get a new prospective. Every single day....you stay focused on being a victim of something...never able to proceed or move on.
Oddly enough, if you valued true victims....wouldn't the American Indians come out way ahead on this scale? Shouldn't we settle differences with them? What about these Dutch, Germans and English who were brought to the colonies....in a relative sense....aren't they victims as well?
It's an odd discussion....with no real end.
