      My point is all this is embedded deep in our society’s psyche, appearing not only in overt ways, but in instinctive ways that live below active intention. Interesting to find someone who thinks that this rebuts the point rather than strengthens it. https://twitter.com/sterlingwords1/status/1149304156617707525?s=21 …

      It’s easy to point out that Tucker Carlson is a white supremacist, because he manifestly is, and it requires a willful act of imagination to deny it. Harder is to ask “how do I personally inextricably benefit from a society that makes Tucker Carlson inevitable?”

      Also instructive to consider those who will just say all of these instinctive assumptions with the varnish off In a culture that instinctively reflects their core values, they will be inevitable. When we empower their noxious worldview—as we have—they become bold Here they are:pic.twitter.com/Q0q7Dek0Yg

      My original post identifies the American instinct to locate an intrinsic ownership and innocence in whiteness, wealth, and maleness—and an intrinsic sense of property and guilt in all others. What is their response? To locate Epstein's guilt precisely in his not-whiteness.

      Does it occur to them that they are perfectly demonstrating the point that's being interrogated? It does not. Do such people talk about Epstein's crimes primarily around the protection of "their" white women—as if those women were their presumed property? They do. Instinctive

      But you can hear the dark echoes of their clear expressions of this worldview in more mainstream statements. You hear it when men feel compelled to introduce their outrage by proclaiming that this affects them personally, because they "have" a daughter, a wife.

      These foundational lies are embedded in our culture. They seep up in ways we can't even control, inevitable as oil up from tar pits. Once you see it, it's everywhere.

      Easy to call these gentlemen white supremacists—they manifestly are. Harder to ask: how do I unconsciously benefit from a society that feeds their belief, makes them bold, gives them power, makes them inevitable?

      A.R. Moxon Retweeted NBC News

      “Denounced as racist.” He told sitting American Congresswomen of color to “go back where they came from.” He May as well have signed off with the 14 words. But “denounced as racist.” Report of the offense is the offense. Inevitably.https://twitter.com/nbcnews/status/1150561636148764673?s=21 …

      The @NBCNews headline writer didn't focus on the accusation rather than the offense by accident. There's something in our society, that will instinctively react with outrage if wealthy white male presumed innocence is challenged in any way. NBC is aware. So: "denounced as."

      It's also that reporters are very adverse to making a judgment themselves that something is racist, hence the "denounced as racist" phrasing.
