It’s always some clown named “Rational Thinker Numeral Numeral”
how seriously can you take anyone who thinks mainstream media outlets are organized around the logics of critical race theory?

Like, it really feels like these people would characterize literally any mention of “race” or “diversity” as CRT
is there some kind of conservative/anti-woke intellectual history about the supposed ascendance of what they call “critical race theory”?
Could these people even define critical race theory without resorting to caricature?

It’s just wild that these people never quote Black people or set aside space to engage with Black thinking on any issue unless they find some Black person who wants to defend the souls of white folks.
was avoiding that Q&A, finally read it, and...again, this person is about to be hailed as brave truth teller just for saying the kind of simplistic, “i haven’t done the reading”-ass things that white people say all the time about race
(Seriously. Let’s pay attention to what happens next with this person and their visibility.)

A quick thing about Isaiah on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
About a decade ago, I interviewed Robert Morales, who invented that character for Marvel in 2001. The result was "Truth: Red, White, And Black" which recast the story of Captain America's origins as part of a Tuskegee Syphillis Study-like plot.
In Robert's story, the US rounded up hundreds of Black GIs in a segregated battalion during WWII to use as guinea pigs. The US is trying to re-create the procedure used to turn Steve Rogers into Cap.

They get it wrong — a lot. Almost all of the Black men they round up die.

i really do wish there were fewer barriers to ppl to getting therapy and more Black therapists for them to find.
That’s really all i can muster for this stuff at this point.
there are just so, so many spaces where Black people actively affirm other Black people and are reminded that they are valid *however they show up* that these people won't find... bc they actively don't bang with/distrust other Black ppl.
