1. Make an observation. (White people are sensitive when talking about race.) 2. Generate a hypothesis. (This is because of White Fragility.) 3. Brainstorm for other explanations. (Not necessary.)...
4. Test your hypothesis. (Not necessary.) 5. Be careful not to insert your biases and untested ideas. (We live in a White Supremacist society, people react this way to protect their privilege, We must decolonize…)) 6. Draw a conclusion. (All my untested ideas are right.)...
7. Publish your findings and open yourself up to criticism & questioning. (Not necessary. If White people disagree, it is because of White Fragility. If Black people disagree, it’s because they have False Consciousness. Case closed. No reason to discuss.)
My first experience with Wokeness was in Austin, Texas in 1988.
I went to university excited to meet the free-thinkers of the world, the professors and students who wanted to discuss ideas and how to improve society.
What I found was . . .
. . . a gaggle of angry, mean-spirited, bullying people who wrapped their quasi-religious ideology in the flag of tolerance, inclusion & diversity.
There were no discussions. You either believed – or you were a bad person. End of discussion.
Race was their obsession. I soon realized that for these largely privileged, sheltered white people, the goal was not battling racism or helping a long-oppressed underclass. Or even to examine your own biases.
The goal was to achieve moral superiority with minimal sacrifice.
Collective guilt. You are guilty of the sins committed in the past & present by people who looked like you.
🤔The Jews killed Jesus. You are a Jew.
🤔Muslims commit terrorism. You are a Muslim.
🤔Blacks commit more crimes. You are black.
🤔Germans killed Jews. You are a German.
I'm not saying it's a bad concept. I'm just thinking about it.
It has been used in racial profiling to justify stopping people on the basis of their race. And for judging people by their group membership.
The Old Testament doesn't like it. Islam doesn't like it. DiAngelo likes it.
Maybe DiAngelo has it right and the Old Testamanent and the Quran has it wrong. 🤔
