So the problem here is that anti-racism in the way that is described by Dr. Kendi, is not often how it is practiced by the masses.
He explicitly states that criticizing or stereotyping someone for being white is racist. This is very far away from where the discourse is.
Americans who lived through the moral panic of the George Floyd years as students developed resentments that may affect their political orientations for life. Regardless of race or ethnicity, but especially if they were treated as oppressors deserving be shamed, they may be expected to drift over time to whichever political party comes closest to treating them as individuals.
Hypothesis: Over the long run, the main effect of anti-racist training will be to produce disproportionately nationalist, and disproportionately anti-woke cohorts. Testing: Compare the political attitudes of age groups that endured heavy anti-racist training with those of close age groups that had just graduated.
I think it’s virtually impossible to do a Buffy reboot without Joss Whedon so we need to find a way to reckon with that.

Every year I compile a list of my 9 favorite albums and 100 favorite songs. It’s hard to do every year but this year was particularly tough. A few standout masterpieces mixed with a bunch of excellent turns by some big names made this year one for the books.🧵
Honorable mentions!

Among the best of films Netflix has ever produced. This movie is genuinely original pop art with great twists and a sleek design. Truly loved it.
