@primalpoly @TuckerCarlson What I object to are the pejorative stereotypes he spreads about ethnic minorities, not calling for special treatment for whites. The way he has talked about Mexicans, Iraqis, and Roma refugees in particular are abhorrent and indefensible. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonicaBaumann @mffwww @blueironmonk It isn't just that you've done a bad job of explaining it--I understand the explanation you're alluding to--it's that the actual way that most on the left end up using "whiteness" in practice contradicts the explanation you would offer — PolitiTweet.org

@mffwww @MonicaBaumann @blueironmonk I'm all for ceasing to consider white a race--shout out to @thomaschattwill's excellent book--but I see much of the left as opposing that, not on board with it, unfortunately. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonicaBaumann @blueironmonk I'd say "a whole political party" is a gross exaggeration, but there are in fact racially essentialist attacks on "whiteness" that one encounters regularly in left spaces and I understand why they alienate some people. I would ask those people to be consistent w/r/t the right. — PolitiTweet.org

I have no problem objecting when race-essentialists on the left denigrate "whiteness" for the same reason I object when Tucker Carlson denigrates Roma refugees or Mexicans or Iraqis with pejorative stereotypes. If you object to the first why don't you object to the latter? — PolitiTweet.org

Carlson has repeatedly engaged in identity politics in deliberately incendiary ways. Here he is spreading pejorative stereotypes about a group of recently arrived refugees https://t.co/4FYJZ8J4yG I'm glad he has condemned violence. That doesn't excuse his other output. — PolitiTweet.org

Rudolph Troha ⚔️ @RudolphTroha

@conor64 Tucker has nothing to do with any of this. He's clearly and unequivocally condemned identity politics and political violence.

@n3ro Promoting a colorblind world once, after repeatedly spreading negative pejorative stereotypes about ethnic minority groups, doesn't cut it. I want the bigotry to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

To conservatives, I would say, I know white supremacy is sometimes used promiscuously these days. But look at how Tucker Carlson uses it https://t.co/QHjlD2vkY3 — PolitiTweet.org

Needlessly dividing on the basis of race or ethnicity is poison in a diverse, creedal nation like the U.S. The right sees this when it comes to e.g. Louis Farrakhan. It is time they see it when it comes to e.g. Tucker Carlson, regardless of whether he inspires violence or not. — PolitiTweet.org

@flavorstraw @LitAnscombe @nameshiv No, it's pretty solidly in my favor, actually, and many of those comments are me trying to engage critics, albeit losing patience with them over time. Nice try though. https://t.co/YiB3wkZYM7 — PolitiTweet.org

@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv Instead of contesting it, you police the language and work of others, mischaracterizing it as you go, shifting the goal posts constantly, and become no less confident even after your original confident claims were shown to be in error. — PolitiTweet.org

@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv No, I am saying I have a working theory of authoritarianism and how best to combat it that is grounded in solid, peer reviewed empirical research, and that, while of course it is open to challenge, *you don't know enough about it at present to challenge it.* — PolitiTweet.org

@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv I did not write that the concerns of xenophobes are legitimate. I wrote that concerns about authoritarian backlash that leads to the election of someone like Trump is legitimate, because it is legitimate. If you would like to understand that argument, read Karen Stenner. — PolitiTweet.org
