Prof Moreton-Robinson "considers 'Western thought' in its entirety as party to colonial enterprise of individualist white possession." Then argues White academics are "diverse," while arguing White people shouldn't have to deal with Aboriginal & other Black academics' critiques

I was also unsure about that claim. Is that what Moreton-Robinson believes/argues? I agree that she's not a continental philosopher and she has strong criticisms of colonialism and epistemology. But very willing to engage European theoreticians when useful

I certainly can't speak for Prof M-R but Bignall seems to have misinterpreted 'Talkin up to the white woman' and instead running with 'Talkin down the black women'.
