It's a slip of the mask that your argument, again and again, is "you're white". Are you analyzing my prose to determine my skin color?
I didn't say a thing about "respecting views". I support your right to spit your venom but I can criticize your racialist nonsense, which is all I'm doing. I never said you shouldn't be able to speak, only that you should be ashamed of what you've chosen to say.
> I don't think anybody's consciousness is "determined" by anything. But there are strong correlations. The language people speak, their religion, their customs, and many of their views are usually taken from the people around them growing up. That's the whole point of culture, after all: inter-generational transmission of non-genetic adaptation.
Yes, of course it's just a strong correlation. We've established that. As you said, it's all those other white males, not you.
Of course this is all nonsense. There is no theory of culture. Culture exists, it affects behavior, but there is no theory that describes how, just garden-variety bigotry. You shift between banalities ("culture affects behavior") and clear statements about what constitutes a "white male mentality" as if you had a theory of culture or a theory of mentality. How else could you claim to know my skin color based on what I've written? Of course you have no theories, it's all bullshit.
The fact that you cite pseudo-intellectual hucksters (Kendi, DiAngelo) is all that needs to be said about the trough you've been drinking from. If you want to find a better religion read the Bible.
- wpietri 6y agoWas there an actual argument in any of that? It seems like you're just back to ad homs, albeit wordier ones. Given that, I think we're done here. I have better ways to spend my time, and surely you must have other people to attempt to suppress so you can avoid thinking about anything that makes you uncomfortable.
