He's absolutely right about how white people get alienated. I've seen it turn into hatred in some of my friends, and it's made me shy away from activism, too.

Just listened to it,
@coldxman laid out his points very well, I had read one of his@Quillette pieces about a month ago and today found him to be as compelling on the radio as he is in print. Really enjoyed, definitely recommend it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Love your podcast and have great respect for both of you. I could see that you disagreed with Coleman, but did not hear any real debate of the issues from either of you. Would love to hear him come back and hear you two try to change each other’s minds on a few issues.

Yascha did a fine job finding his way to what is called an "achieved perspective" in the discussion of intersectionality. It's a feature of standpoint theory since the 1990s: http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Eeandersn/hownotreview.html …

I think there's something to the idea that good activists make people uncomfortable, however if you make people miserable they tune out or seek catharsis in opposition. but this anti stance is often manufactured through bad faith (hyperpartisan)media exaggerating, cherry picking

If this is the story about the girl who hung herself, it's telling that
@coldxman sees it as black bullying, where there's no evidence of that (ps rubric = racism) https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2018/11/birmingham-9-year-old-takes-her-own-life-family-hopes-to-spare-others-their-pain.html …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

"Fully formed" here is just him saying things that confirm your biases. A guy who describes his race a,s & I quote, "half-Black & half-Puerto Rican" either doesn't understand race and all that comes with it in the US or is trying to make half-Puerto Rican do a lot of work here.

I like how you pressed him on solutions. Coleman is one of many that see the problem of identity politics fracturing society. I’d be interested to hear guests that talk about solutions to this. Think stressing the “American” identity above all, with mandatory national service /1

not just military, though that should be an option, perhaps combined with mandatory civics course in high school classes and a more melting pot emphasis on immigration policy could help. Reihan Salam has great ideas. Hopefully you can talk with him soon. /2
