Robin DiAngelo is bad, but she's not "overthrow the government" bad. I know it's a message board and you can axiomatically six-degrees your way into saying anyone is as bad as anyone else (try it: Paul Graham vs. Slavoj Zizek, bonus points for connecting through Short Round). But DiAngelo is simply a grifter, not a menace.
Hang on, one of these things is straight-up anti-semitism, one of the most destructive bigotries around with a long baleful record to prove it. The other thing is... whatever it is, how is it anywhere close to anti-semitism?
What Di Angelo peddles is the same thing: racism. She has said she tries to “be a little less white every day.” If you told me I should “be a little less Bangladeshi every day” you’d get a trip to HR and probably fired. But HR invites a bigot like Di Angelo to come lecture people about race. I don’t perceive the two as being any different (particularly because I can’t help but imagine someone saying it to my half white kids when I hear it).
There is a line between explaining to a racial majority they can be insensitive or oblivious or defensive, and saying stuff like that which implies that their race is bad and they should try to minimize it. Di Angelo pole vaults over that line.
No. Anti-semitism still inspires mass shootings right here in the US, beside being the direct cause of industrial-scale genocide. There were literal Nazis at the Capitol a couple of weeks ago. Even if we stipulate what Di Angelo sells is some form of anti-white racism, these are not the same thing, they don't have the same reach, consequences or history.
I am genuinely shocked to see you argue this stuff is 'the same thing'.
