"So Definition By Consequences implies that racism can never be pointed to as a cause of anything, that racist policies can often be good, that nobody “is a racist” or “isn’t a racist”, and that sometimes the KKK trying to terrorize black people is less racist than them not trying to do this."
- pron 9y agoI had not, but I have skimmed it now. TBH, whenever someone sends me a link to this blog, I find it a little puzzling. To me, it seems like an attempt to describe color to people who are colorblind, and I guess I'm not in the blog's intended demographic. It seems like the author assumes some premise in the readers' minds that I simply don't share. I like the intention behind it, though (I think?), and I hope that the blog's audience find it helpful and/or interesting.
