I read the New York Times so I can learn that Ta-Nehisi Coates is enabling white supremacy & Breitbart is a lively right-wing publication.

This is unfair to author of Coates piece, who coined the much-needed phrase "indenity epistemology."

Don't know how it's unfair since it's a pretty direct summary of his argument!

Also: since humans are historically embedded beings, there can be no epistemology that doesn't include identity.

This is not relevant to what he meant by identity epistemology.

Well, if it doesn't mean something like that then there is no "identity epistemology" that encompasses both TNC & Richard Spencer.

It means "standpoint epistemology": there is a special problem of you knowing my racial/gender/orientation etc. experience . . .

To me, true standpoint epistemology is from centrist & liberals in denial about Trump's racism because Trump supporters seem nice to them

I am glad you do not defend standpoint epistemology. This tweet seems like a change of topic though.

It's not a matter of defending it or not, it seems like a distraction from TNC's actual work, which is mostly popularizing scholarship

Whereas it seems fair to me for NYT author to comment on an actual debate involving TNC and Packer, one that highlighted larger trends.
