General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Thank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe [View all]RichVRichV
(885 posts)one of the most academically discussed topics ever on injustice AND my statement on the subject lack academic "creds"? I sense a logical failure here. Do I personally have to write a dissertation on a subject before I can comment on how obvious and well studied it is?
There are tons of academic "cred" on the subject. The problem isn't lack of credibility, it's that that "cred" is simply being ignored and marginalized in favor of a differing point of view.
I'm pretty sure when the academics you refer to were discussing the effects of white supremecy on society they weren't refering to Jews, another minority group targeted and attacked, as the white supremists.
The context used by Ms. Johnson was simply wrong by any standards applied. And everyone is too dug in and stubborn to concede even that one simple point.
