This word is meaningless when uttered by true believers like you. In my life I've been called all sorts of racially-based slurs, or worse. I've earned the right to refuse the orthodoxy of arrogant white liberals, and follow my own conscience on this topic.
- wyre 5y agoOn what basis have you “earned the right to refuse the orthodoxy of arrogant white liberals?” Genuinely intrigued. Cause to me that sounds like ur trying to say you’ve earned the right to be a bigot. Bigotry isn’t a right to earn but a choice to make.
- paisawalla 5y ago> arrogant And how do you think you come off to me? "You can't have an opinion about race matters that is different from the official, scientifically correct view as descended from, and endorsed by, all the big brain people and institutions with whom I already agree. We already know the permanent and unchanging answer for all of history, so why would you think your own experience would entitle you to an opinion on such an important question?" I truly could not have caricatured your position worse than you've expressed it. Are you genuinely unfamiliar with the fact that this flavor of academic anti-racism is not incontrovertible, but deeply disputed by people across the spectrum?
