@CajunBlueAZ1 Oh stop. If you wanna take something personally YOU CAN ALWAYS find reason. If you wanna pull this or that phrase out of context YOU CAN ALWAYS make something of it. If you read t/whole tweet as written it's pretty clear it's a general statement & nonetheless true for being so

@CajunBlueAZ1 This WAS NEVER ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY
But that Frum always get a headline for basically being a White excuse maker who reduces t/complexity of White Supremacy to this or that person or issue thus relieving White Society in whole of t/majority of t/responsiblity is at best maddening

@CajunBlueAZ1 That White folks buy it without questioning it's appeal is even more maddening. I didn't think you were that particularly but that you didn't stop to question his take and who it ultimately serves is part and parcel of how White folks & young people these days consume

@CajunBlueAZ1 information without first educating themselves with Black vioces, & writings of Black thinkers intellectuals and leaders after all it's happenint to US and therefore our vioces should be central to the conversation not sidelined by this or that White semi-intellectual's take on

@CajunBlueAZ1 what White Supremacy is or why it's a cult or why it's FOX or that TRUMP IS RESPONSIBLE when really FOX & Trum only came along and made the underlying hate already going on even more fantastical reason to exist (or White male victimhood). But again this is nothing new and

@CajunBlueAZ1 part of the US historical cycle of White Supremacy as open HATE in conversation emerges and submerges at different points in history. However, no matter if the conversation around HATE takes place in the open or is submerged & maintained via the structual instituitional

@CajunBlueAZ1 and Cultural mechanisms of White Supremacy and the racism and misogyny they generate the hate that persists serves those same mechanisms in perpetuity. THIS IS WHY WHITE EXCUSE MAKING GAINS PURCHASE Because no one then has to deal with the fact that their everyday EXISTENCE

@CajunBlueAZ1 as WP which affords them Privilege and power IS THE MECHANISM OF MAINTAINANCE. In the end whether an openly supported conversation steeped in hate or submerged in a politically correct conversation complete with WS coded language (Al la GOP Reagon & Paul Ryanus policies

@CajunBlueAZ1 which were nothing more than racist policies under the cover of economic conservatism) everything essentially remains the same gen after gen and always in a pattern of retrenching after MINIMAL progress is made.
Folks like Frum are masters at distracting from the above and gain

@CajunBlueAZ1 widespread White mainstream popularity for being exactly what they are: White excuse-making mechanism that agrue for the status quo!
