Forward.com article on BLM/wholeness/cancel culture

[newrubylane]

An interesting read - not directly related to feminism, per day, but addresses lots of relevant issues and gave me food for thought.

Thanks, that was very interesting.

All the black intellectuals mentioned (in the first half at least) were on a group podcast with Bret Weinstein recently, quite interesting. Coleman Hughes is particularly good.

Thank you for this interesting article

This is a really great interview between Glenn Loury and John McWhorter where they discuss attempts to cancel them for having the ‘wrong’ opinions.

Their opinions on White Fragility are quite amusing too...

Thank you for the article. Very interesting. Williams articulated a lot of what I am been mulling over.

“People have lost their ability to have a healthy relationship with themselves and others and they have lost their ability to derive meaning from their own lived experiences and are seeking meaning from political wars and identifying politically in a certain way.”

This quote from Chloe Valdary is very thought provoking, thank you for sharing the article.

Really interesting article with a range of opinions. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing as well, it led me to , with a lot of the contributers from the article.

For a picture of what's happening on the ground during some of these protests, I found this interview with of the Portland Police Bureau really interesting. Particularly his stories about people of colour being told not to talk to him by someone who is white. And his account of the makeshift explosive device that was thrown and him is terrible. Brave man.
