Smith, had unanimously expressed a desire to change their title. As such, Harvard College will soon launch a process that culminates with a suggested replacement title, to be announced at some point early next year. The Harvard announcement comes less than two weeks after Princeton University announced it would immediately change the title of “master of the residential college” to “head of college” amid discussions about racism and discrimination on college campuses nationwide, including a call by student activists to remove the name of former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson from campus buildings and the School of Public and International Affairs. Prorat posted:That's just one of the many things they are doing and its loving stupid. That's literally one of thousands of examples of how stupid PCness is. In other words, you're mad that people are doing things that don't impact you and that aren't really objectionable.

Venom Snake posted:No, but the majority of the oppressed working class is minorities who care about more things than finance law because prosecuting a banker does jack poo poo for them when a cop will shoot them for raising their hands or an insane orange fascist puts them on a cattle car to mexico. Those things are more visceral, but pretty low risk. Obviously the pervasive sense of being preyed upon by the people meant to protect you is really really bad, but that is a symptom of a greater underlying problem. The effect of cop shootings pales in comparison to capital flight, outsourcing, and the demise of labor unions, which have left communities a shell of their former selves. Also, all but the most privileged white collar workers (a tiny minority of workers) are oppressed. You can't just ignore the concerns of the white working class and expect to make progress.

the conditions of oppression are material, any leftism that is not rooted in materialism is not leftism at all via fdb: quote:What socialists tend to say — or at least, what I say — is not that racism is only classism or just a consequence of classism or whatever. I don’t think that and have never said, suggested, implied, hinted, or signaled that. Rather, I think that the means with which racism is most often and most powerfully enacted in real life, the material dimension of racism, is typically economic in nature, and that the best way to reduce real-world inequality and injustice is likely through economic means. These are not at all the only ways in which racism manifests itself, nor are economic solutions the only solutions. Criminal justice reform, for example, is a massively important aspect of reducing racial inequality. But closing the black-white income gap and the black-white wealth gap, as well as more fundamental transformations of the contemporary class hierarchy, are indispensable aspects of the larger project of combating racism. In our current system, money brings with it power, and the ultimate purpose of our efforts against racism are not to meet some vague standard of “racial harmony” but rather the empowerment of people of color so that they can ensure their own best interests for themselves.

Trump is popular because the left wing treats poor whites like trash. We have a poster popping up here every once in a while to say white people shouldn't vote, and a dozen others rolling their eyes about how white republicans are. Maybe they're just voting for their own self interest against a party that hates them?
