It's a pretty obscure one and depending on your age, likely before your time. It's technically before my time but I read a lot of inappropriate books at a young age.

so obscure it won't even be named in this thread apparently. I'm 1984 baby (hell of a year) so if it's 70s vintage there's like a 50% chance I would have read it as a tween. Guess I missed that one, whatever it is.

ah, a consequentialist. well, if I accidentally looked like a consequentialist for even a moment that is to my discredit and shame. no, what I mean is that abdication of responsibility gets distributed unevenly (as in Katrina aftermath) and the unevenness is revelatory.

That's fair. And unfortunate.

I'm not sure that's the most salient distinction when talking about Racism, though. Have a meeting in 3m but will mull + maybe revisit if something interesting coheres
