In light of "On Having Whiteness," which characterizes white people as parasites with no known permanent cure, I'm going to re-up this statement I made before about Wokeness containing the seed of a genocide.https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1276516621020954624 …

If you're going to be tossing around the notion of a genocide of whites, at least define what you mean by the term. Do you mean state-approved systematic mass murder? Or are you using the term more loosely to describe only the destruction of culture and identity?
The language is really awful and reckless, especially in a lot of the "critical whiteness studies" material. But this all operates in the postmodern/symbolic world. We should be careful of making hyperbolic predictions/warnings.

I think this is a case where the demand for rhetorical extremes proves insatiable so once the envelope is pushed it becomes normalized and enterprising ideologies venture to push the rhetoric further precisely because it gets attention.

As long as this strategy gets rewarded with more power the trend will continue. You get more of what you reward.
