      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 . . .

      Thing is "standpoint epistemology" doesn't describe vast majority of TNC's work, which is grounded in scholarship,mainly history & sociology

      OK. That part of article cited social media to make a point about (some) current racial justice discourse.

      That's what I'm objecting to! Instead of situating TNC with online discourse, he should be placed in context of black intellectual history.

      The piece was referring to replies to TNC critic George Packer. Those replies, like much racial justice discussion, now takes place online.

      The idea that George Packer -- a New Yorker staff writer who was given space in Atlantic to respond -- is persecuted is...strange.

          Straw doll. Criticisms of Packer can be worth analyzing even if he is not "persecuted."

          "For having the temerity to defend himself" (Williams' words) suggests that Packer is somehow persecuted or in subservient position.
