Frank - I get tired of your misreadings, which can't be made in good faith at this point:
You claim:
"The main problem with this article is that it fails to connect the dots to perpetrator of the crimes it trumpets. "
How did you possibly miss this:
"Those, like Du Bois, who was blacklisted and driven into exile, who pull the veil from our eyes are especially targeted by the state. Rosa Luxemberg. Eugene V. Debs. Malcolm X. Martin Luther King. Noam Chomsky. Ralph Nader. Cornel West. Julian Assange. Alice Walker. They speak a truth the powerful and the rich do not want heard. They, like Bynum, help us find our song."
"The backlash against critical race theory (CRT), explorations of LGBTQ+ identities and the banning of books by historians such as Howard Zinn and writers such as Toni Morrison, are extensions of this attempt to deny the oppressed their song."
Let me explain. Those that fight against CRT and the woke ideology are in fact attempting to break the economic and educational oppression of the poor and working class that is currently the only real thing holding back the black community. Singing songs of racial and group victimology designed primarily by 3rd wave feminists and weak men will not get the job done.
Everybody wants the same things that you and I have buddy... including our brothers and sisters of the black community. That fact energizes me. I hope it doesn't cause you to worry about the additional competition.
Hard to know what your talking about after the line....slinging songs of racial ad group victimology designed primarily by 3rth wave feminists and weak men....
You realize I assume that patriarchy is at the root of most current problems....if you can look down on your mother or your sister............there's nor arrogance you aren't capable of.
The patriarchy rocks. Built everything around you that you take for granted. If a matriarchal system worked we would have example throughout history. We don't have any.
Perhaps you can't imagine what we might have accomplished if thick witted men hadn't banded together to keep women in the home.........or the nunnery, working for free.
But to continue to argue at this late date that 'patriarchy rocks' is to have Rocks in your head. And testosterone coloured glasses distorting your view.
Aw... there we have it... a 3rd wave feminist. Probably either a lesbian (not that there is anything wrong with that... except if bitter) or resentful that no strong man is interested and thus a man-hating mindset developed.
If you think a world with strong men is dangerous, just wait until it is dominated by weak men.
There you have it Frank.....a micro dick with an attitude. And that attitude imagines it has laser focus and can slap a label on anyone who dares to disagree with him..
I'm as heterosexual as its possible to be in a world where so many 'strong men' have as little body knowledge as they do. Sexually many are micro dicks....and that has nothing to do with size and everything to do with knowing how to satisfy a strong woman.
Five wonderful grandchildren, the sixth due to arrive this December...and a life of social activism behind me. I've nothing against strong men.......but right wing arrogant A h...s turn me off.
Strong people don't have to be know it alls.....or categorize people they've never met. That's what bullies do Frank....
And bullies don't make good lovers...........or build just societies.
Time you got out more.........talked to educated people. A little post modernism wouldn't hurt you either.....its not a true or false set of propositions........its primarily a questioning of the master narratives that make folks like you think they are smarter than in fact they are. I read a bit of it in graduate school.......
It can expand the mind. Start with Michael Foucault...though not everyone would call him a post modernist....he did a great deal to expose 'western assumptions'.....as assumptions, not universal truths.
He's a tough read....because he doesn't share universal assumptions...but he's great exercise for the enlightened mind. Enjoy.
Note the difference between taking shots at your ideas and views vs taking shots at people who criticize your ideas and views. I can respect people with different ideas and views, but that doesn't mean I will lie to say I respect their ideas and views to prop up their ego. If your ideas and views suck, then they suck.
Lol. "Micro dick"? Sound like my assessment was correct. Resentful divorcee? No bullying here. But you are absolutely a mean girl. I am sure many school mates and coworkers of your would agree.
And you're a funny man with a big double standard on his back..........you can assume to know everything about someone.........from one comment, but when you get back as good as you send....you recognize meanness.
Really Frank....your speculations into another person's life, based on their comments here, reflect back on you. Try sticking to the topic.......and perhaps loosening up on the pre-emptive judgementalism.
After my thoughtful post of point that you disagreed with... a post where I did not attack anyone personally because I don't attack anyone personally until and unless they attack me personally, you wrote:
"You realize I assume that patriarchy is at the root of most current problems....if you can look down on your mother or your sister............there's nor arrogance you aren't capable of."
You called me arrogant as a START to the conversation and then just build on the personal attacks after that.
You've misread me Frank. You're only arrogant if you look down on your mother and your sister....
Arch patriarchs do that.........and you started off this conversation by trying to tell me that patriarchy was great...........and responsible for all human achievement.
Your posts aren't that thoughtful either. They tend to sweeping generalization and random put downs for anyone who disagrees with you. You called me a lesbian or embittered man hater....
But let's just drop it Frank. Neither of us have a monopoly on human reason........or radical theory.
It's good to begin by imagining the people you're communicating with are at least as smart.....and well read....as you are. Advise from a teacher.....we are a smart species. There's more than three or four good ways to look at the world.
The more diversity we include in our analysis, the better the analysis. The more we assume good faith in our opponents, the more wisdom we can share. No one has a monopoly on truth.
Exactly....but its difficult trying to be on the side of the angels, when you have so much hatred inside you. The mess the world is in is complex, but unless something is happening in American education that I'm not aware of, as a retired Canadian teacher....this fellow seems to be barking up the traditional American fascistic tree.....
We have the same angry right wingers in Canada. They all expected to get rich off globalism, their gender and skin colour qualified them.........and now they are mad as hell, because for reasons of Marxist fiddling, they've been left out.
"Hatred" LOL. No, I don't hate in politics. I am hear to debate for the benefit of future generations.
I really don't know what you are talking about with "they expected to get rich off globalism". That is inane.
There are two paths... globalist collectivism that you advocate, and democratic nationalism that they advocate. Brexit my dear. Trump. Elections in Italy, England, Sweden... the tide is turning. Canada might be late to the game because it is cold and brain cells are slower to work. But the Trudeau globalists will be ejected too.
It's not inane Frank.....we all bought into globalism at some level at the beginning. Very few saw those free trade deals for the death blows they were to local economies and good working class jobs. Now we're seeing the fall out.
But its complex. And white western patriarchy is part of it...unfortunately. Too few of us had the education to consider that Thatcherism/Reganism was just the latest turn of the imperial screw....we fell for 'wealth creation'....have had to listen to blather about our wonderful 'entreproners'(misspelling intentional) for decades.
Perhaps you and I weren't fooled. But you and I were part of a very small group and most of us did very little. Remember Seattle? I was teaching at the time....and I followed them as much as I had the time to. But did it change anything?
The wealthy class wanted to become Wealth Creators. And we let them.
Now a lot of bad stuff is coming home to roost, and we're doing exactly what the elites want us to do...........moving to the fascistic right, fighting among ourselves, getting our tails in knots about something most of us haven't read...'critical race theory'. Transgender people also knock us over with outrage....
So sex and class still operate to divide us. We get in a dather about stuff that doesn't matter.........look for someone to blame...go off half cocked if anyone suggests an idea we don't have already....
And the saddest, funniest part of it is: We think we are on the side of the angels. But I've got news for all of us: There are no angels.
Just people Frank. ....many of them little children with no future to speak of. Our clever energy entreproners and our rip and ship magnates, will see to that.
While you and I debate straws. And capitalists and fascists duke it out. It's humbug my friend.

Please just stop.
Hey Bill. How are ya? I hope well.

CRT is nonsense
Bet you haven't even read any of it.
Hard to know what your talking about after the line....slinging songs of racial ad group victimology designed primarily by 3rth wave feminists and weak men....
You realize I assume that patriarchy is at the root of most current problems....if you can look down on your mother or your sister............there's nor arrogance you aren't capable of.
The patriarchy rocks. Built everything around you that you take for granted. If a matriarchal system worked we would have example throughout history. We don't have any.
Violence works for sure. Up to a point.
Perhaps you can't imagine what we might have accomplished if thick witted men hadn't banded together to keep women in the home.........or the nunnery, working for free.
But to continue to argue at this late date that 'patriarchy rocks' is to have Rocks in your head. And testosterone coloured glasses distorting your view.
