I thought I really disagreed with this thread but actually I don’t disagree with the theory of it very much at all. What I don’t think is that telling white folks to read Theodore Allen is gonna cause their racism to flare up any less than “SJW rhetoric.”https://twitter.com/blacksocialists/status/976951198740832258 …
Also, the number one place where I am skeptical of social justice rhetoric is that it mostly comes from relatively privileged academic types. But you know what is SUPER jargony and foreign to most regular folks? Socialist rhetoric.

I feel like the phrase “white privilege” is a lot more accessible to and recognizable to regular people than “ruling-class formation.” And you prove your words by bringing them out into the world and seeing if real people recognize and apply them, you know?

Yeah I know, most ideologies are much more pleasant when they are doing the actual work of helping people than, you know, on Twitter
