Confessions of a Neckbeard
Looking at this post by inverarity at http://inverarity.livejournal.com/136523.html?view=comments I think the real point of their argument is Looking at the other blog, I think the whole point of their argument is to say
"Institutional racism silences Women and People of Color but we Privileged White Males, by acknowledging and apologizing for our Privilege, make ourselves the agents of the Women and People of Color, with power to speak for them so if you disagree with us you're a racist. Also, we get to pick which Women and People of Color are being "authentic" as opposed to traitors. We have to do this because we are the ones with the Privilege. Isn't it good that we wish we could renounce our Privilege?"
Note the part where a commentator argues that Thomas Sowell is a "racist" for daring to argue that culture affects performance. As Sowell himself points out, if culture doesn't affect performance, then of what use is it?
I'm sick of arguing with these idiots.
