I'm not clear what she meant when she said it "is not a history" and "is a work of journalism," nor do I understand why you think it matters. I do not read what you quoted here as some sort of admission that she wasn't trying to capture the truth, which is the spin I thought you initially put on it.

She's slippery. Which says a lot. You know where I'm going.

Dude, you just wrote a post, all by yourself, in which you described your core political beliefs, and made sure to point out that you were anti- woke people, people who see race as super important, and the 1619 Project. If you don't like what you're seeing, stop looking in the mirror.

You're slippery. I'm not anti-people who see race as important. I'm anti-Woke. The two groups are markedly different. I am in favor of extreme justice reform to root out racism and classism in the system. I am also anti-Woke. If you can't hold both of those positions together or deem them mutually exclusive, you're an idiot.

Oh, nuts. There are plenty of things that people suspend disbelief in that you couldn't care less about. There are certain things that really push your buttons, and you helpfully listed a bunch of them in the post you wrote where you described your beliefs.
|
Those things aren't on display here. I'm pouring acid on the foundation of what I see. Would you like me to quote the argument in favor of atheism I've been waging with my mother for twenty years? What I do here is mild. Religion still draws the greatest level of ire.
Wokness is a new religion for people looking for purpose. Full stop.

She's a 44-year-old woman with a master's degree in journalism who has worked as a reporter for almost two decades, include several at the New York Times. A few years ago she was given a MacArthur genius grant. It must be that she doesn't really know what "journalism" means. Fun to see you suspending disbelief.

[Insert air handjob gif here.] You're better than to support an argument with "X received an utterly political award." Bob Dylan has my proxy in snubbing the Nobel initially.
The institutions are largely for shit. Tribal, religious, picking sides. I've been to the dinners in DC where one hobnobs with people receiving awards. Spare me. It's a jerk-off. Tell me on the merits why she's deserving. I'm not impressed by a MacArthur grant, or that she was a Fulbright scholar.
