  1. Minus: Thinks racists still wouldn't hate the excepted (comment from Lisa's blog).

    No, you still believe yourself to be superior to Thomas Sowell because you're White.

  2. What's the reason Derpy thinks he's superior to Thomas Sowell? Thomas Sowell was a high school dropout, Korean War vet, and successful academic before the Civil Rights era (i.e. he made something of himself in allegedly racist America before government handouts and affirmative action existed)

  3. Dervish, in all his self-perceived superiority, wants to protect Sowell from "superior white people" like us.

  4. He wants us to indulge progressives like himself in their mass formation psychosis (aka- secular religion).

  9. Thereby re-fitting Weber's "iron cage of society" by bureaucratically changing the "now partial" formerly "impartial" rules (ala Jim Crow).

  10. What were some of the critical race hypotheses before someone announced a theory? Or did the hypothetical inquiry part get skipped?

  11. We should insist that critical race theory be demoted to a hypothesis.

  12. Literally critical race theory does not exist except in the minds of racists.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Nah, it exists. It just shouldn't be called a theory when at best it's a hypothesis.

  14. Maybe racists are, but they need not be, considering it's an incoherent hypothesis, not a theory

    1. Why would I be afraid of a "theory" that posits my superiority?

    3. Because acceptance of said theory could lead to a diminishment of your White privilege.

    4. How so? According to the "theory" no one has a path to power to take my alleged privilege away. Under the rubric of CRT, it all seems like some feckless lament a stupid black person came up with.

  15. Is white privilege anything like class privilege? Party privilege? Honorific privilege?

    Nothing spells p-r-i-v-i-l-e-g-e like a $1 billion stock portfolio and it don't care what colour you are..
