This is wrong, absolutely wrong. The literature in Critical Race Theory is not going to use proper, appropriate, or rigorous methods. CRT is not hit or miss, it's a bad method based on flawed assumptions. The problem is the *method* of CRT, it's rotten to the core....
And that is why this is bad. The Problem is not considering race in medical decisions, or observing how race might be a relevant variabls in public health, the problem is using Critical Race Theory to do the analysis. The underlying assumltions and method of CRT are wrong...
I don't dislike phrenology because I don't want to study psychology, I dislike phrenology because it's pseudo-intellectual nonsense.

I don't dislike CRT because I want to avoid studying how race relates to health, I dislike CRT because its pseudo-intellectual nonsense
The problem is not "academic fields uncritically adopting boutique progressivist buzzfare," the problem is the *methods* these field use are broken...like phrenology. We should stop using methods like CRT because those methods are not good for doing rigorous and proper analysis.

So, @IshitaChandel1 is lying about a paper to get it retracted by saying it links whiteness to intelligence. This is a lie. The paper makes no such claim, and in fact doesn even hint at such a claim. Image
2/
The paper only looked at white people of British Ancestory. No one else participated in the study. This means it was comparing White Brits to other White Brits, and that means all the people in the test that didn't have the genes for intelligence *WERE WHITE* Image
3/
Not only that, but in only surveying white brits (they state this explicitly) the paper doesnt mention *whiteness* as it excludes the french, germans, finish, polish, swedes, and irish to name a few. So it doesn't look at white populations as a whole, and doesn't claim to: Image

Jesus when asked why he eats with tax collectors who steal from the poor: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Progressive "Christians":
The works part about this is that this woman has the most self-righteous, sanctimonious, "not like those icky republican evangelicals" attitude I have ever seen. It's disgusting.

These people claim to be on the side of Jesus, unlike all those Trump supporing evangelicals...
But they can't even have dinner with people who disagree with them. Not only that, but this woman wants to free people from the burden of having to spend time over the holidays with anyone who might vote for Trump.

All while attacking Conservative evangelicals for....

ATTENTION!!!

Woke activists demanded @target stop selling Irreversible Damage by @AbigailShrier because it doesn't agree with woke gender ideology.

Target gave in and removed the book.

The activists explicitly said the goal was censorship.

We need to push back NOW.
This is censorship, and we can't let this go. If we allow this to stand it sets a precedent that woke activists get whatever they want just by tweeting. We MUST push back and make this a PR *DISASTER* for @Target
This book @target removed is by @AbigailShrier. Woke activists have tried to censor her before.

When Spotify threatened to strike unless they could censor the @joerogan podcast a couple of months ago, her appearance on his show was the reason why:

I feel the need to say this:

I think Biden won. Unless something comes out of left field (any thing can happen in 2020 I suppose)...he won.

I understand the media double standard. I do. But the answer is not to adopt their tactics. We can't do that.
2/
Let the legal process happen if there is one, but don't delegitimize elections without evidence.

What the media does is a problem. That they let certain people cast doubt on election results is bad. I know. I really do. I totally get it.

But...don't adopt those tactics
3/
It hurts. I know, I've been there.

And I know many of you are afraid to watch wokism sweep through the government bureaucracy. In understand. I do.

But the solution is not attacking the electoral process.

-Trump wins the most non-white voters by a Republican since 1960
-A possible Biden win
-11 new Republican WOMEN in congress

If you think any of that ends wokeness let me introduce exhibit A.

Eddie Glaude dresses up racial guilt as humility and pours it on everyone:

The woke are NOT going to stop with the racial gaslighting. If anything, it may receive less media coverage in terms of news stories, but takes like this one claiming Cubans are "white' not hispanic are going to continue.
3/
People like Nikole Hannah Jones still have their positions of power in places like the New York Times. In light of all the Cubans and Venezuelan ex-pats who voted for Trump, they will pump out content that claims people aren't "really" Latino unless they vote the right way:

@roderickgraham claims @HPluckrose and @ConceptualJames" lied and took advantage of an honest process" when they got several papers, which argue for absurd positions, published in respected journals. This is a dishonest redescription of what happened...
2/
First I'll explained what happened, then I'll show how Rod bends the truth to make an unfair insinuation.

What @HPluckrose @ConceptualJames and @peterboghossian did was claim, very publicly, that there was a problem academia, namely academic journals were publishing shoddy...
3/
scholarship using methods which were not rigorous. They wrote public essays about this long before it was revealed that they had gotten absurd papers into academic journals.

Here is one of their essays which speaks about this issue explicitly:
