    This is counterproductive if you want to reduce racism. People generally want to feel they are good - fair & ethical. People (now) generally think racism is unfair & unethical. This is a very positive development which provides much incentive not to be racist. Don't fuck it up. https://twitter.com/todd_farmer/status/1001628890962448384 …

        He has zero interest in reducing racism. Not even on his radar; not something he thinks is conceptually possible.

        Dear all people, We are inherently tribal. To combat this requires civilization. Specifically we need education to remove ignorance, and social discourse to encourage the integration of communal thoughts. Key to the later is a tolerance for the diversity of thought.

        You can't really blame him. This is what our Universities have been teaching students for years and they just graduate and regurgitate without thinking.

        What constitutes “a racist”? If you discover 10% of your thinking is (inadvertently) racist, and you are trying to eradicate that thinking, does that make you “a racist”?

        Gotta say, white guilt is incredibly nauseating. Makes me think of flagellants. OH BOO HOO I'M SO SORRY FOR MY INHERENT SIN! It also seems so ridiculously insincere.pic.twitter.com/ZlZgqcowdU

        Just as black people can have antipathy towards other black people, the same is true for white people.

        In America I always thought the acid test was going to be twofold. 1) Could we elect a black person president? We've done that. Twice. Yay. 2) Can a white person reliably criticize a black person w/o it being assumed that whitey has some kind of racist agenda? Not yet. Shit.

        Isn't part of the concept of implicit bias is that is a trait that is passed and not learned? Part of pack survival to protect what is you & yours.

        It’s important to point out that this perspective is reimplementing the structural logic of racism by hinging experience on the preordained orthodoxy of racial metaphysics. Makes no difference if it’s a Left or Right perspective. There is only one kind of race ideology.
