Yes. James Lindsay has been on this for awhile. I'm glad he is getting more attention these days.

Things like this continue to undercut their own cause. It’s become farcical.

It's probable this author is being satiristic. It's funny how some people on here will do that and get a lot of down votes b/c many readers do not understand satire. All this race and racist crap talk has gotten well beyond stupid.

Ok, make a 5 minute deal out of it on the news when George Flowers gets smothered by a cop, say a prayer for him, arrest Derek Chauvin and let the jury find him guilty or not guilty of negligent homicide, and move on to the next fricking story.

Drug dealer time is a real thing. White or black, those dudes are always "five minutes out" only to arrive an hour later.

It doesn’t matter who Matt is. Only what’s being propagated by the NYT. The fact that he actually had a link to “prove” that time is racist is absurd in itself.

Exactly. Everything in this country was stolen from natives and built by black people. Literally everything.

Or so I've been told.

and just the point out, none of this is new, as most of this type of reasoning has been talked about in academia going on 50+ years now

its just now getting mainstream attention

we will see which way it goes, but I think this type of thinking will get pushed back into the deep recesses of academia, as no normal, everyday person thinks like this

I agree this thread should be moved to PT.

But this advice is bad and does not comport with the history of PC and radicalism.

Agree. The virus, in an age of social media, created fertile ground for this craziness. But it definitely is just an extension of 60s radicalism.

Have you read The Age of Entitlement? Great read and provides an excellent framework to help make sense of what's going on. Crazy it was published in Jan 2020.
