      Seth Mandel Retweeted Amanda Golden

      That last sentence is a very smart, thoughtful and (most important) accurate response to what is a good and fair question. Good for Gillibrand.https://twitter.com/amandawgolden/status/1149421151690661893 …

      A poignant moment at @SenGillibrand's Youngstown, OH roundtable occurred when a white woman holding her baby asked her about how Dems talk about white privilege while she is still struggling. Gillibrand took a beat, and then answered the woman’s question. Full exchange below: pic.twitter.com/jzNXSSzABN

      I’ve discussed this in the past, but conservatives used to be more attuned to the way institutions concretize in a certain environment and then stay that way. Also, when institutions are dissolved, who and what takes their place is crucial. (Think Russia post-1991.)

      Here’s how I put it in 2014 after TNC’s Atlantic cover story on reparations:pic.twitter.com/02Hrc5ePCZ

      I then quoted Acemoglu and Robinson: “Plantation-type agriculture based on low-wage, poorly educated labor persisted, and southern incomes fell further relative to the U.S. average. The vicious circle of extractive institutions was stronger than many had expected at the time.”

      However, I wrote: the specificity of antiblack institutional racism also should be seen as a rebuke to liberals who coopt it to tether to whatever issue of the day. This liberal tendency, I pointed out, is a *continuation* of white exploitation, not its solution.

      In addition, corrective interventions must be taken carefully: the solution to redlining turned out to be an overcorrection that burdened new homeowners before the housing bubble burst.

      And this is also why school choice should be a no-brainer. No, it doesn’t solve everything. But when you talk about a legacy of geographic isolation, letting families choose where to send their kids to school is a moral imperative.

      Finally, I wrote, TNC was on his weakest ground when indicting the American *idea*. His cherry-picking did not add up to what historians of slavery said it did, b/c those historians understood slavery was as much an assault on those founding ideals and economic principles:pic.twitter.com/FNXGcNrd0S

      Replying to @SethAMandel

      He should have listened to Frederick Douglass, who as a younger man fresh from chains started something like where TNC was, but came to see by the 1850s the indispensability of the Founders' ideas & promises.
