Let me know how you find this. As a book I thought it was an incredible read. I even think he's exactly right to point out that there is a certain cla...
I think so. By racially marked I simply mean that one's race is, as it were, re-marked upon, whether in word or deed. A kind of racial intentionality ...
Cool, 'cause that's not what white privilege is or implies - although I understand that for you, seeing the word 'white' can mean nothing other than s...
No it's absolutely experience, and it's that experience that informs thought. When one doesn't experience racial marking in one's day-to-day, then rac...
This isn't it though. The language of privilege is simply a discourse meant to de-universalize one's experience and to remind one that one's experienc...
One of the markers of white privilege in an overwhelmingly racist society is, of course, the luxury of being able to have one's race being 'the furthe...
I mean, I get it. It's not easy to think that one can be arbitrarily murdered on the basis of one's skin alone - and equally, not arbitrarily executed...

As I read somewhere else - these people would eat a shit sandwich just so that some 'lib' somewhere could smell their breath. Trump being said sandwic...
The Deleuze entry of the wiki article made me twitch a bit. But yeah - Graeber was a singular mind. He wrote works that challenged the order of things...

My instinct is to read it as an aversion to a kind of academic "war of all against all" so that the 'winner' is the Darwinist ubermensch who can provi...
I'm curious as well, actually. My sense is that the sentence before gives the target of the critique: Given that this prefaces a book on mutual aid - ...
Huh? There is barely any 'historical record' of Jesus, save a pair of fleeting mentions by Tactius and Josephus, and neither makes any reference to hi...

Judy, as is well known, likes to fantasize about me, even when - or rather especially when - not engaged in conversation with me. In any case, it's no...
It can become this, but you're probably right about circles. Like @"Banno", my experience of the use of the term 'privilege' is that it tends to come ...
I don't disagree, but that's kind of the point, no? That one is able to talk about one's privilege in a critical way is precisely, a mark of it. It no...
Interesting. On paper, the term ought to do the exact opposite of this - insofar as privilege is a social relation and speaks precisely to supera-indi...
I did the exact opposite of that. I 'admitted' that the term captures something quite real about our state of affairs, in which normalcy has acquired ...
I'm not referring to any definitional origin in critical theory or whathaveyou. I'm not even sure it has such a provenance. Just my understanding in i...
No. The phrase is a framing device. It draws attention to a feature a reality. That's all. It won't 'result' in anything unless people act with it. An...
Not at all. As creative noted, the dissonance between what ought to be a state of 'normalcy' and it having count as a privilege is precisely the point...
But 'the problem' is not white privilege, but the fact of it being unacknowledged in situations where it ought to be. As far as your purely nominal di...
