I read it. You are talking about what people refer to as "structural racism," which she didn't prove exists any longer, and unconscious bias, which she says only applies to white people. There is no path to redemption, but hiring her as a consultant somehow makes sense, and it infantilizes black people by removing their agency. She is a grifter with a white savior complex.
Her book is poorly written and unpersuasive. See Matt Taibbi's review to be convinced of the former, and John McWhorter's for the latter.
Your comment was calm and consise. We can disagree, and that is fine, but Matt's comments are angry and insulting. Matt Taibbi is always searching for the truth. Anger and insults never change minds.
Didn't prove? CRT has been proving it for about 50 years. She is commenting on the subject in a unique way––as a white person to other white people. And if you don't admit that you have biased and unbiased attitudes toward black people, you are fooling yourself. If you get angry at the suggestion, you are proving how fragile and sensitive you are on this issue. She is an insightful academic who has thought deeply and honestly about these ignorant aspects of human nature. Matt Taibbi is a grifter who doesn't give a fuck about the truth. John McWhorter knows he can have a huge audience on the right when he criticizes the left on race issues.
