Reminder I have regularly argued that likely most of the bad outcomes in black communities (higher levels of crime and poverty) are downstream to the old drug wars and the destruction to families caused by the high incarceration rates of black men.

I mean phrenology isn't really an actual thing anymore, but it was cheeky reference Aella's proximity to scientific racists like Diana Fleischman

Seems she might be Phrenology *adjacent*. Mates with Lehmann and Quillette I think. I'm sure she knows it's nonsense tho

wat, do ppl get described as "belief-adjacent" for being friends with ppl with those beliefs, now? I still hang out with my mom, does that make me anti-gay adjacent?

sure, the difference is that ppl typically aren't faulted for maintaining a private and interpersonal relationship with their mother if i was casually friends with David Duke, that will lead to assumptions being made about my character, why wouldn't it?

1. I strongly wish people could be friends with people with beliefs they disagree with without this being viewed as endorsement 2. I largely agree with most things I've seen from Claire and Quilette and also Diana

I agree with you for personal, private relationships. Claire is a very public person with very public views. You are also very public. You aren't required to state your position on her opinions beforehand; it's not unreasonable for people to see the connection and ask you tho.
