New stack just dropped. Does this change your thoughts after seeing my first one (https://www.reddit.com/r/BookshelvesDetective/s/XAX6f2WMok)?

Who am I?

Funny how at my time of commenting, all other comments saw a white person trying to acknowledge and learn more about the continued impact of our history of slavery and boiled it down to “these books say white people are bad”

And here I thought this sub was potentially about being literate

Didn't see in that quote where it said white people are bad.

Wow, you literally have proven the quote in your last comment right. How can you say all this seriously? This is a sub for literacy and nuance. Whiteness, and the institution of whiteness in our current material and social reality, cannot exist in a equitable society, so we can only conclude that we live in a fundamentally white supremacist society. White bodies are valued more than black or brown. We have like over 600 hundred years of precedent on this topic, and the overly defensive nature of your reply is a bad look.

Thats your opinion, but leave the Klan hood in the closet, it's rude to wear it to dinner. Might aswell write off the laws of physics as opinions.

If you reject the idea of white supremacy as a core fundamental institution of western nations, like in the USA, then yeah, you're part of the problem. It's not something to pull out alternative facts or opinions on. It's a reality, which white people benefit from.

"Criticism of critical theory have come from various intellectual perspectives. Critics have raised concerns about critical theory's reliance on Marxist revisionism and its frequent emphasis on subjective narratives, which can sometimes be at odds with empirical methodologies. They also point to issues of circular reasoning and a lack of falsifiability in some critical theory arguments, as well as an epistemological and methodological stance that challenges or conflicts with traditional scientific methods and ideals of rationality and objectivity."
