How about all of these then: https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-lawsuits-say-antiracism-and-critical-race-theory-in-schools-violate-constitution-11625151879# https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-lawsuits-say-antiracism...
Acting like these are small isolated events and don't represent a wider shift in educational policy just doesn't seem sincere. This article identifies some of the very same practices of using race to determine whether students fall into oppressor or oppressed classes. Excerpts:
> She alleges that teachers and students are required to participate in racially segregated antiracist exercises and that teachers are required to teach material depicting white people as inherently racist oppressors
> ...a biracial high-school student who claims he received a failing grade in a required “Sociology of Change” class because he declined to complete an assignment that required students to identify their gender, racial and religious identities to determine whether they qualified as oppressors
This is racism.
> I feel like I have to take a bit of blame for e.g. Michael Brown's murder, since I've voted in Missouri for years.
If you feel like taking some of the blame off of Darren Wilson's shoulders, I can't stop you. I would however object to any placing of blame onto other Missouri residents who didn't kill anybody. It seems like this would allude to a disagreement about whether responsibility for action is fundamentally collective or individual.
