No, I said that a specious attack on an antiracist book is itself an act of racism. That it’s actively upholding racist systems is probably enough, but that it’s also specious makes it crystal clear.
I don’t think Tiabbi thought to himself that he wanted to defend the racist status quo, but that is what he did. Conscious or not all of this discussion of the discourse is a distraction that allows people to avoid uncomfortable substantive discussion. Way easier to complain about woke kids and just leave things how they are.
