      Using my training in stats & poli-sci, I also ran a lot of separate tests to assess some of the possible consequences of nonviolent and violent resistance on media coverage, public opinion, Congress and voting behavior. What does Robinson say about all that work? 6/

      Robinson’s critique (nested in a longer essay) argues: “It’s bad research, by the way, because what it does is single out the political effect of riots in a way that allows people to blame ‘inner-city rioters’ and ignore other causes.” 7/https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/06/has-the-american-left-lost-its-mind …

      NJR: “So it argues that violence fuels negative media coverage which fuels a political backlash that helps Republicans.” 8/

      NJR: ”Which might be true empirically, but as Martin Luther King pointed out, it’s grotesquely immoral to make the conversation about rioters rather than looking at what causes rioters to do what they do. Yes, one way to frame the facts is ’riots help Republicans.‘…” 9/

      The most generous interpretation I can give of Robinson’s critique is that he views my research as shifting attention away from a critical focus on white supremacy to “framing the facts” in a way that “blames” Black activists for resisting white domination. 10/

      Omar Wasow Retweeted Omar Wasow

      That line of argument makes at least three important errors: treating prejudice as immovable, ignoring black agency and treating black leaders, thinkers & activists as monolithic. I address those points at length in another thread: 11/https://twitter.com/owasow/status/1271132989364281346?s=20 …

      My paper on political consequences of 1960s protests has received a lot of attention recently. I'm very grateful for the interest 🙏🏽 and, when possible, want to respond to some of the thoughtful critiques. 1/ https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-science-review/article/agenda-seeding-how-1960s-black-protests-moved-elites-public-opinion-and-voting/136610C8C040C3D92F041BB2EFC3034C … pic.twitter.com/HYEg3MGkZo

      But those aren’t the only failings of Robinson’s argument. @conjugateprior notes @NathanJRobinson doesn’t seem to “care about ‘the facts’ at all.” 12/https://twitter.com/conjugateprior/status/1272624334486622208 …

      If you find yourself writing things like "which might be true empirically, but" or "one way to frame the facts is". Or you feel the need to claim that isolating a causal effect is bad because there are other ones, maybe ask yourself whether you care about 'the facts' at all. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/LrNJ9yX5oa

      Replying to @NathanJRobinson @owasow and

      Did you get around to reading Omar's article yet? Because it doesn't do any of the things you claim it does with its framing or questions, and at no point did he offer a Charles Murray-like defense, so your comparison is offensive and wrong. Also did you read his article yet?
