Professor Emeritus Adolph Reed pulls out his "Go Fuck Yourself" stamp to talk sense into today's activists. Plus we weigh in on Maté v. The Young Turks
I can listen to Prof. Reed all day. I have seen a friend been called a racist because she disagreed with a headline of an article, then a black person disagreed with my friend, and my friend was asked to leave the thread because nobody can disagree with any black person anymore. My friend's point was that performative actions will not solve the problems of systemic racism unless people start paying attention to class disparities (she has been listening to Prof. Reed and Touré, among others, for a while).
Think about it: she disagreed with a headline, not with a person, but because the black person who disagreed with my friend was black, and an academic - my friend was denied a proper education because she is disabled and has been catching up to many issues by doing the work herself - she was shamed for her "white skin" (not really white)
I hear a lot of "black people are not a monolith", "people like Justice Thomas do not represent black people", but white people are [a monolith], all bad, if they disagree with that one black person who happens to be in the same place (or comment thread) at the same time
When do we get the Robyn Diangelo version of Karen The Movie? where they just take Catherine Keener’s character from Get Out and she captures gullible white libs with her microaggressive-Agressive potion.
Katie, you nailed it. Not only did they double team Giannis they tripled teamed him in the paint. He still put 41 on them. He didn't even need Muggsey (Spud Webb could have put in 10 more though). Let me know what's on your mind for game 4. Don't listen to Matt he dosen't know anything about basketball.

Is the Matè v TYT part on YT or substack only?
'Wokery' a la DiAngelo summons the phrase 'mental masturbation'.
