      These two thoughts are not exclusive. They aren't even in conflict.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1415417438015983617 …

      Greenwald's position is that 1) It's a big problem that the "deranged" and "demented" Robin DiAngelo is so influential 2) DiAngelo is being unfairly singled out for criticism because she's white. It takes a special galaxy brain to believe both these things. pic.twitter.com/1TQ476rKS0

      If she's a person with deranged ideas who is hugely influential then she's not being unfairly singled out. She's a natural target for criticism.

      That's an assumption. Other hugely influential people with deranged ideas may not be receiving criticism at the same level. It's possible that she is worth of criticism and also unfairly singled out for that criticism. It's not complicated.

      If you think someone has demented ideas and is hugely influential it's weird to also complain they are being criticized.

      But it's not weird to say they are being singled out for criticism when others aren't. "They're all crazy, but people only point out she's crazy because she's white." It's straightforward.

      Only if you believe that white people are routinely discriminated against.

          No. That's not how this works. It can be case specific. In fact, in this case it's because white people as a group aren't routinely discriminated against that could make her, potentially, Safe to call out and focus on.

          Like Greenwald you're positing a very elaborate explanation for something that doesn't need to be explained. Like I said, real galaxy brains.

          You don't need to believe that "white people are routinely discriminated against" to believe that it's a lot safer to mock a white "anti-racist" activist than a black one.

          I don't see anyone holding back on criticism of black writers. Quite the reverse.
