      Listened to an hour of NPR in the car while driving yesterday. 70 percent of what I heard was about race, including their TV critic who wrote the “Tom Hanks must become anti-racist” column declaring that In the Heights was colorist in its casting.

      Another segment was about a black female scholar who turned her research into woman-led slave revolts into a graphic novel. They teased the next day's segment, an author of a book on how to be a better white ally. The segments were fine, but in aggregate it felt a little much

      Basically, this comment by a Times staffer has become the actual guiding principle of NPR coveragehttps://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1374069573188747276?s=20 …

      Monomania is a terrible approach to the world. NYT is trying to avoid total capture by the anonymous staffer with the occasional piece reporting on discrete social justice meltdowns and inquisitions in ways that show them to be excesses

          The ultimate goal of these inquisitions and meltdowns is of course to manufacture consent for "race conscious" policies (or, in Kendi's term "antiracist discrimination") that are widely unpopular and in many cases forbidden by federal civil rights law and 14th amendment

          To explicitly commit yourself to enact "antiracist discrimination", or manufacturing consent around it (by inflicting social penalty on those who oppose it) is what it actually means for an institution to declare itself "antiracist" in 2021.
