Historian and sr. editor of Aeon indicates via sarcasm that he can't take it anymore:

Have any whiteness studies experts weighed in to explain the deteriorating situation between the US and Russia?

Here's what people mean when they say CRT is being used in schools. To object to the textbook described here is not to object to teaching about racism, but to indoctrination into one particular, limiting worldview.https://t.co/25wTcvajPK

In reply to NOW - Elon Musk: "Wokeness

Elon seems a bit on the spectrum, where cluelessness and awkward social interaction can be expected. His puerile king of juvenile humor can easily slip over to the 50s style of classic insulting jokes with "no offense intended" ("take my wife - please..."). While humorlessness might be a problem, frat boy humor isn't a cure-all either, whatever Kavanaugh may think in retrospect. Ugly things do get said, people do get hurt to make the majority chuckle, and there's nothing wrong with having a few years discussion whether those Yid/Dago/Mick stereotypes are really that humorous. Oh wait, that was post-war woke re-evaluation in the 50s and 60s, when we knew minorities were minorities, not these wannabe cripples and psychotics and sexual-hybrid-conglomeration-warriors and simply all the fat ugly people who can't get laid without new pronouns. As our colleague Rootie would say,"Har Har Har". I know it's a shame to not be able to tell Henny Youngman-style jokes in 2021, when our brains need to be responding ASAP to the latest Twitter howler feeding frenzy where every second to witty twitty response counts. Political correctness is such a drag.

NOW - Elon Musk: "Wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool... do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation, and hate?"pic.twitter.com/V9PJ5B3uKl

Elon Musk added, "at its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. Basically, it gives mean people a shield... to be evil and cruel. Armored in false virtue."

"Our concern as black people should not be w/ closing all disparities btwn ourselves & other groups, but with ensuring that we become ever safer, healthier & wealthier—a process that may eventually close gaps. Relative success or failure should not be determined on that metric." https://t.co/s1fPiHgpuF
