      If racism precludes whites from accepting my legitimacy then no amount of modulating on my part will change their attitudes

      So then I'm stuck, without a cloak to calling racism racist and without legitimacy to change racists' attitudes.

      For some of us that does feel like a crappy argument worthy of mocking because it is so defeating as to be demoralizing

      To wit: https://twitter.com/tressiemcphd/status/804195055280001026 … it's not the psychology but the very bad inferences drawn from it here & overly broad claims

      I can't decide if I'm madder about that or the idea that racist is a slur https://twitter.com/prof_carrington/status/804194279275036672 …

      As if the value of attitudes outweighs value to victims of racism to be able to label actors racists feels like crap

      Probably the intent is to tell elite whites not to sneer at non elite whites? And maybe that's a claim but I can read too and I'm here

      So I assume I'm the reader and the claim doesn't hold for me. And yeah maybe then whites start virtue signaling but that's not on me

      Anyway racism isn't attitudes, politics can happen without a come to Jesus talk, & hearts usually change after material conditions change

      Again, with all due respect to the fields of psychology and social psych. But honestly I think even they'd agree with me here in part

      That is exactly the finding. Behavior can change without attitude/belief, and if anything behavior precedes belief change.

      The problem is "road to Damascus" conversion is a better movie, so many assume that's the norm/only path.

          I think cognitive behavior therapy might concur. I think.
