      "The Letter" was shaped/spearheaded from conversations by four privileged white men. Apparently they felt entitled to really weigh in on racism, diversity & inclusion. That says it all.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/arts/harpers-letter.html?smid=tw-share …

      Lol it was spearheaded by @thomaschattwill in conjunction with others. Consider debating the merit of the letter.

      Personally, I agree with Richard Kim, who's quoted, “Okay, I did not sign THE LETTER when I was asked 9 days ago because I could see in 90 seconds that it was fatuous, self-important drivel that would only troll the people it allegedly was trying to reach—and I said as much.”

      "Fatuous, self-important drivel" is an excellent description of "The Letter."

      Sure, I don't really care whether you like it or not. I'm pointing out that the idea that it was spearheaded by four white dudes is silly and not the point

      That's nice. I disagree. That it was spearheaded by four privileged white dudes is totally peak reactionary liberalism.https://newrepublic.com/article/158346/willful-blindness-reactionary-liberalism …

      Who or what are you actually disagreeing with? It wasn't spearheaded by four white dudes, it was spearheaded by @thomaschattwill . I've read the critique that you shared, I think it does make some interesting points that I have been mulling over. Thanks for sharing.

          This looks hilarious, I'll check it out. I appreciate the share. I'm sure many more would have signed on, but they clearly wanted recognizable names. I don't see that as a problem. I also don't see their general thesis as fatuous, I see it as necessary, but I'm happy to disagree

          I think that the most telling thing about the letter is that no concrete examples of "canceling" are cited. The reason is simple. The vast majority of such incidents cited in such complaints are usually not nearly as unreasonable as they are portrayed.
