Colin Wright comes out in favour of fascist political organizing.

@swipewright #quillette
Dear Colin,

Critical race theory is an active research field. I have seen precious little evidence that you have studied critical race theory enough to be able to credibly critique it.
When Trump—who has read even less of it than you—signs a decree that banishes critical race theory materials from federal training, what is it that you agree with, exactly?

If you don’t want to stand for shoddy claims with no evidence to substantiate them, you better say.
Until then, you stand for: agreeing with the current president—who has a record of racist and misogynist speech and action, as well as a history of abuse of power—on dismissing an active research field that you yourself are not positioned to credibly critique.

Yours,
Woke Sauron
PS: Wright responds by saying one doesn’t need to know or reference the scholarship one publicly dismisses & on the dismissal of which one aligns oneself w/ an authoritarian president. One only needs to access its “foundations” & “foundational premises.” Good we cleared that up.
PPS: We know at least that Colin has watched this tiny clip that’s been going around, and that he is ready to draw vast generalizations from it. Hallelujah!
