Wait a minute—you’re telling me HELEN PLUCKROSE is being commissioned to write a book on Black intellectual diversity and she is ADVERTISING the fact that it will not be subject to peer review?!? Why is she just throwing me lobs like this??? Why is she making my job so easy?!?!? ImageImage
Not to mention all the names spelled wrong... Ta[insert punctuation mark of choice here]Nehisi Coates; Audrey Lorde [interchangeable with bell hooks and Kimberlé Crenshaw, apparently]... Malcolm X OR ELIJAH MUHAMMAD as if they’re just interchangeable SMFH 😂
That’s right Helen, it definitely won’t be good. Image
Just waiting for Femi to show up with the Doc Rivers gif and my morning will be complete

After a closer read, I like this paper much less than I did after a quick skim. The primary reason for this: Martín seriously misrepresents Mills’ account of white ignorance.

@TLNewmanMTL asks: what’s Martín’s justification for using “white ignorance” in the first place? 1/
Mills’ original (2007) definition of white ignorance: “an ignorance, a non-knowing, that is not contingent, but in which race—white racism and/or white racial domination and their ramifications—plays a crucial causal role.”

Here is Martín’s first crack at it: 2/ Image
@TLNewmanMTL correctly points out that, in introducing the notion of white ignorance, Martín relies on this study pnas.org/content/early/… but only cites one figure from it—one which is actually race-neutral (fn. 2) 3/ Image

Thread on "colorblindness"

Here @coldxman defines "colorblindness" as a normative ideal: "we should treat people without regard to race in our personal lives & in our public policy." I think he is wrong to claim MLK as a supporter of this principle. 1/n
@coldxman There are a few MLK quotes that Coleman uses to support this characterization of MLK. First: "The basic thing in determining the best candidate is not his color but his integrity."

But this only says integrity matters more than race; it doesn't say race should be ignored. 2/n
Another: "Black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy. And God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men and brown men and yellow men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race."

Again, nothing here supports "colorblindness" so defined. 3/n

An incredible anecdote from Howard McGary: while presenting a talk on Black reparations and forgiveness, a white woman professor stood up and interrupted his presentation to offer him her personal reparations check. #PioneersofAfricana21

Yesterday I stumbled upon a video from the 1990s by the Free Congress Foundation, a right-wing think tank created by all-around terrible person Paul Weyrich.

Someone want to tell me how exactly this is any different from the "anti-Wokeism" we are getting today?
"[Insert currently fashionable name of social justice boogeyman here] is nothing less than a Marxist ideology: Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms, in an effort going back not to the 1960s, but to World War I. [Begin discussion of The Frankfurt school.]"
William Lind, the man taking us on this iQuest for Truth in the video, happens to be one of those responsible for the resurrection of antisemitic conspiracy theories surrounding cultural Marxism around the turn of the century: splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

This guy makes me sick to my fucking stomach. In this thread he feeds his followers an amount of bullshit even James Lindsay could only aspire to.
Contrast Rufo’s opening statement—using “countergenocide against white Christians” to refer to a specific solution—with his actual article’s analysis. “Countergenocide” is an ADJECTIVE (like “counterterrorist”) as in “countergenocide tactics.” This is PURE BAD FAITH.
This is truly a fucking disgusting lie. The author, Cuauhtin, does not call for engineering any goddamn genocides. As I showed above, “countergenocide” is an ADJECTIVE. Rufo is being as honest as I am when I say he sees the ultimate goal as engineering a “Satanic” against Jews.
