      These are repulsive people. Also, it should be glaringly obvious that the title of this book is very much a part of the problem. Can we just admit that making "whiteness" the go-to term for "white racism" was not a smart idea?https://twitter.com/TimothyNoah1/status/1122278666787000321 …

      Jonathan Metzl’s Politics and Prose talk about his book “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America’s Heartland” was disrupted by some white guys who wanted to put in a good word for racial purity. Because that’s where we are right now. https://twitter.com/dckath/status/1122229271014121472 …

      These guys are Nazis. Political correctness in order to assuage the fee-fees of Nazi snowflakes seems like a mistake.

      How about not-particularly-political young people who may get sucked into radicalism much more easily when they get the message that progressives hate them for being white?

      If they can't make the distinction between hated for being white and critiques of white privilege then I suggest they are something other than "not-particularly political young people" and also no amount of appeasement will satisfy them.

      "Whiteness" has a very plain meaning in the English language. It means "being white." That's how people who aren't versed in woke jargon hear it. Hence, my point: making "whiteness" a synonym for racism was a very bad idea.

      There seems to be zero possibility of reversing this crap with the "well educated". . Then again, even though you will never convince jeet, you should probably still say it. For now.

      The fact that you guys are so freaked out by a simple idea that whiteness is socially and historically constructed is hilarious.

          "Socially and historically constructed" also sound hilarious though.

          It is clear that anyone lacking Neanderthal DNA is not as good as those who do have it.

          I grew up w people like this. They’re racist shitbags. There was a lot of them around when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. We thought their numbers had dwindled. No,they’ve just been in the shadows, waiting for permission to be racist shitbags in public. New generation, same bs.
