You'll be surprised to hear this, but this New Yorker profile is an accurate, fair, and thoughtful account of my fight against critical race theory. My sense is that many center-left liberals are starting to turn on CRT.https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-inquiry/how-a-conservative-activist-invented-the-conflict-over-critical-race-theory …
I enjoyed spending time with the author, Benjamin Wallace-Wells, who was candid, open-minded, and curious even when we came to points of disagreement. We need more conversations like this: sticking to our convictions, but engaging in good faith with the other side.
Two answers for the commenters: -Not sure why the artist gave me a chubby face! -I think "invented" is accurate in the sense that I framed the issue in a new way and did the investigative reporting that sparked much of this debate. I don't take it negatively.
‘Invented’ is a weird synonym for initiated. It sounds silly but headlines matter more than content, and until that changes optics/signalling will always matter more than actual context.
Engage w/the other side? Yes. But my sense is you were disarmed by the author's personal charm and desensitized to the piece's interwoven bias.
Briefly, I see an glaring asymmetry in how you & @SandyLocks were described. (1/8)
The piece tells us you "invent," (which connotes all this purely sprung from your head) what you saw as an "political opportunity," resulting in you fighting "cheerfully." In other words, you're presented as a figure of opportunism incarnate. (2/8)
