This is a lucid and powerful introduction to Racecraft and a useful primer on the the various ways today’s “antiracism” works to reinforce the very problems it seeks to counteract. https://t.co/gjTR7zZlbR

Also just retweeted by Williams:

I cited this poll to someone demanding evidence for the claim that America had become a lot less racist. He averred that it was "just people saying the socially approved answer."

Even if true, the socially approved answer is an important index https://t.co/KeUIFjqLi6 pic.twitter.com/RxmZn2faTN

The Dissent piece was especially interesting I thought, compared to that Quillette one, because it admits there is a major racial profiling problem, and because of that the majority affected by police abuse are black, but then separates the issue into one where blacks are not the only people who suffer from this. The point: police abuse and the facts (or not, if that's your wont) of systemic racism are two different things. And that it's basiscally arguing it's not smart of activists interested in reforming police to either make it a contest to fight over how many victims of which race nor to combine it with overall systemic racism.

One thing I think this jibes with: the George Floyd influenced protests start in cities run by liberal Democrats and even black mayors. So arguing that it's because its about systemic racism where the race has no power really falls flat. I.E., they have governmental power and they still can't do a thing about the police that satisfies. That de-linking it from "systemic racism" therefore might be a better way to go.

I have to ask, where does the Democratic agenda or the comments by Biden leave out white people?

The protests, especially the ones in Portland, appear to have a healthy number of white people.

Addressing health care is a universal issue.

Police reform will help everyone, including the white people being gassed in Oregon.

uh oh, I see from her Twitter bio that she self-describes as Army brat. Does that mean she doesn't qualify as "real" black because she grew up not segregated in a tribal neighborhood, meeting all different kinds?

if she gets elected, which identity group gets first dibs on her?

We have the opportunity to make history this year. I will be the first African American to represent WA and the first Korean American woman elected to Congress. Please chip in and help me get there! https://t.co/Cfxyxkf9Ki @AndrewYang @HumanityForward #marilyn4washington pic.twitter.com/9Uq6BZm8Ku
