I think you very much care about the "start of the conversation", in fact, that's the only reason why you posted this.
Not when he is analyzing the context of how the word was used. Again, academic discourse surrounding use of racial epithets does not censor the epithets used. The n-word is put into quotations specifically to signify how it is being attributed to its use by right wing politicians at the time. This is so incredibly disingenuous and ignorant of you to even post here.
Penning what? That white southerns are lead to vote against their material best interests by politicians appealing to their hatred of black people?
Your intentions are known, such a brave martyr
What word would he have used to provide a specific, precise, but different word than the one that was actually used to propagate a mindset? To examine why something is bad, academics have to engage with it in a specific term.
...there are posters in poliera agreeing with the daily caller because it's a hit piece on bernie? what on earth.
I know what it's about. I'm just not cool with the wording from white politicians.
Ok if we're going with the academic route. It wouldn't be different if he wrote that in 2019. Since this is all academics.
Why wouldn't they? I assure you if Warren or Biden or any other candidate had written a book with academic analysis of the use of racial divisions and epithets to stoke division in the working class by right wing politicians then yes they would be defended for it.
I mean, it is meant to be an academic text. Glad to see anti-intellectualism is a valid tactic from anti-Bernie folks.
yeah you'd think so, but ETC lives to disappoint
eh, Biden probably would but anyone else probably wouldn't
And you cant even paint Bernie as racist, given that he has been consistently working towards passing laws that HELP the minorities in the US, unlike say, Uncle Joe there.
Bernie 'Racism' Sanders, right here folks:
Oh fuck right off with this.
...the closest anyone actually got in there to "agreeing with the DC" was clowning on Gray's response, specifically the part about his entire career in lily-white Vermont being "devoted to building a multi-racial coalition of working people"
It's accurate but again my beef is with a white politician using the word. Bernie should have no qualms about penning something like that today if it's still kosher.
Thats poliera
Only if theyre not accurate or distorting the truth, sure.
Maybe we need a "GrapeApes posted a thread containing the n-word" thread, you know. For the conversation.
literally no one in poliera except grapeapes was even in the same neighborhood as "agreeing with the daily caller", please actually read the last two pages before chiming in with shit posts
