    In 2017, all identity politics is detestable. But surely white identity politics is the most detestable of all. #Charlottesville

        What an arbitrary stance. Why don't the last 1,000 years count? Can I still be mad at North Africans for the Barbary Slave Trade?

        America is not the only multi-ethnic country. IdPol is international. This is such an American-centric mindset it boggles the mind.

        Yes. But the main point about his tweet was identity politics, which is ubiquitous.

        And this still doesn't answer my second part to the question. Do grievances stop being legitimate after 200 years? Seems arbitrary.

        All numbers are arbitrary by their nature. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use them.

        I guess I can have grievances that date back to the beginning of human history if I wanted to that I could demand people take legitimately.

        Every political movement in history results from the establishment of a personal or social identity and Libs are no different.

        Yes. This is why Sam Harris' tweets are so naive. Politicians seek power by division and exacerbation. People can self-sort if necessary.

        I can't help but think you are accidentally adding more fuel to the already blazing identity politics fire here.

        Maybe it's not accidental, given the choice to expand the original claim by tacking on the arbitrary 200 yr timeframe.

        No. the last 400 years of American history. You don't get where we are as a nation without Slavery and its legacy.

        An arbitrary, happenstance inclusion, without signifying that it is the ROOT cause of current events.

        But that's just because 200 years was an arbitrary, happenstance timeframe

        that's my point. Why even pick 200 years? Could have said 304 yrs. Or 211. Link it to its causation for clarity's sake.

        No, you're right, I'm just (like most of us) in shock and enraged about the events of the past 60 months. And yesterday. "Brights" unite!
