Scholarship so good, that disagreement is impossible.

Like a lot of other “Race Scholarship”, there is always an explanation of why somebody doesn’t agree with their ideas. (Willful ignorance, internalized oppression, false consciousness, privilege-preserving epistemic pushback, white fragility, didn’t engage...
with the text, etc.). All the explanations involve mind-reading a person’s true intentions.

The notion that a person can 1) read the material; 2) understand the material; and 3) disagree with the material is outside their reach.

True scholarship doesn’t play games like this.

The medieval church dictated society's understanding of & relationship to God, while modern "liberal democracies" dictate our understanding of & relationship to RACE.

No one is allowed to question the ideology of post-racial multiculturalism, DIVERSITY, Inclusion & #AntiRacism.
Anyone attempting to question it is cancelled as a RACIST.

DIVERSITY is Orwellian newspeak for #RacialMixing, which goes to the opposite extreme of the Nazi obsession with #RacialPurity, from whence it derives its spurious moral authority.
The modern, secular priesthood of #AntiRacists is not so clearly defined, but no less effective than the medieval clergy.

Just as in medieval times, Christianity was obligatory, now it's #AntiRacism, which #IbramKendi & #RobinDiAngelo have taken to absurd extremes.

Twitter's co-founder & CEO, #JackDorsey is committed to woke ideology of Post-Racial #Multiculturalism, DIVERSITY, Inclusion & #AntiRacism, which is rooted in #CriticalRaceTheory, as espoused by #IbramKendi (whose institute he has donated $10m to) & #RobinDiAngelo.
This ideology is also rooted in Jewish trauma at the hands of the Nazis, whose criminally insane ideology of racial purity & supremacy it goes to the opposite but equally insane extremes of, promoting #RacialMixing & contempt for #WhiteIdentity - on which America was founded.
Hitler is getting his revenge on White America & Britain for having foiled his plans for world domination, while Ashkenazi Jews have internalised his hatred for them & directing it, not just at themselves, but at their entire White, European race.

Present-day Western civilisation is dominated by an international priestly elite of moral supremacists, just as it was in medieval times.

The religion on which they base their moral authority is that of Post-Racial #Multiculturalism, DIVERSITY, Inclusion & #AntiRacism.
It's not just the WOKE, with their #IbramKendi & #RobinDiAngelo style Anti-Racism, but mainstream academic authority itself, which is responsible for the madness of mass immigration & DIVERSITY being imposed on the West.

And madness it is!
As Jesus opposed the misguided moral authority & supremacism of HIS priesthood, I oppose the misguided moral authority & supremacism of mine.

Notwithstanding my lack of His divine qualifications & ability to perform miracles.

I'm just a Native European, a modern-day #WatTyler.

how many ways must it be shown?

is there still any question that

the system is biased

(thread)
this hits close to home, as a black man serving in the software development field for 15+ years, and father of two boys

there is systemic bias in most existing (facial recognition) systems
these systems misidentify black people, at times with dire consequences,

and are far better at correctly identifying white people

because these systems were created by white people who were ignorant of or negligent towards

the presence and the full implications of their bias

@V8POW Robin DiAngelo is an #ethnomasochist nobody who got a frivolous PhD in "multicultural studies" at age 47, and is known for her "notable idea" of White Fragility,

but she is (was) so obscure that her wiki was near deletion in both 2018 and 2019:

@V8POW On #WhiteFragility:

The WHITE FRAGILITY concept / phrase / meme / endzone-dance / soft-blood-libel.

2011: coined;
2010s: made rounds on academic-left-fringe;
2020: broke through with George Floyd riots.

Using Ngram and Google Trends data and more. Story in 21 parts (thread).
@V8POW (1.) The term "White Fragility" was independently 'coined'/used many times, and makes sporadic appearances in the 1990s/2000s in NGram but with all kinds of meanings.

One from 2004 refers to the 1994 OJ Simpson ex-wife murder but not related to the late 2010s/2020 meaning:

Yesterday I had the pleasure of listening to #RobinDiAngelo, scholar in critical racial & #socialjusticeeducation. How cool is it that I used one of her slides for my students the day before her talk! For my presentation, I had an additional pic (re: @fordnation cabinet). Image
Still amazed I got to meet an idol of mine at @CIECYR1 Equity Symposium.😱 Her talk on #whiteprivilege, #whiteness & #whitefragility was on point, esp w/ the pillars underwater that uphold white racial narratives and calling out folks who ask the ignorant Q of “Now what I do?” ImageImageImageImage
A little sad there wasn’t a Q&A, as I had a ton of Qs, but I get logistics. Still wondering: Since #whitefragility functions as bullying, how do we shift to those convos from one day of #InternationalDayofPink? How do system leaders ensure accountability among frontline workers?
