That kind of norm is in place in a lot of circles. Indivisible national leadership told its constituent group leaders last fall that they couldn’t question the logic of “defund the police” as a slogan because white activists had to defer to Black ones. https://t.co/ilH5vJKvgQ — PolitiTweet.org

The problem was that this literature, though mostly by white scholars, was being publicly championed by some prominent Black writers. The norms of being a progressive intellectual in good standing suggest that you need a Black person to make that criticism. — PolitiTweet.org

On one level, I *don’t* think that this is a crisis for free speech or whatever. If progressives want to define their spaces in such a way that you can’t be a progressive in good standing without following these norms, that is their right. — PolitiTweet.org
