[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, even though we have disagreed on some points, you seem like a very thoughtful and  interesting person. I wish I knew you in real life. I love much of what you said, even though I’m more in the DEI camp (mostly because there will be some elite “secret language” signaling no matter the dominant cultural norm is and I prefer DEI —with its capacity to also actually do some good— to the casual elite misogyny and racism of past decades). I hope whatever your kids end up that they have a great educational experience. [/quote]

Haha thanks PP! Not sure which PP you are but I would love to have these discussions in real life. What I loved about college the most (and I fear that its not the case anymore) is that I could have these heated debates but then we can all go hang out afterwards like nothing happened. Represents what I love about America and what I fear is disappearing.

I keep telling people that I was "woke" (and like I said before, I understand the term has taken on its own meaning) before being [b]woke [/b]was cool lol lol. [b]But then it got to be too much even for me[/b]. Again the quote I keep posting (with my caveats) really explains my issue with what's going on.

Also, can you tell, I can't focus on work today? lol lol[/quote]

It is only too much because it has been hijacked and weaponized by the right. Don't fall for it (though you seem to be)[/quote]

No. That's not my problem with it. Like I said I am a fan of Barber and Cornell West but not a fan of Kendi. I am a fan of Edward Said but not a fan of Kendi. I am a fan of Baldwin but not a fan of Kendi. I am a fan of Chomsky but not a fan of Kendi. I am a fan of countless leftists and thinkers from the "global south" (I put south in quotation marks because the term doesn't make sense georgraphically) but am not a fan of Kendi. I can keep going lol. [/quote]

So maybe the problem is you are overhyping Kendi in the pantheon of writers, and given him much more space than anyone else is, certainly anyone reading this.[/quote]
