43. "Ok, lol. I don't see the substantive difference in Fox news being team J..." In response to In response to 40
& MSNBC being team TNC. Like, I guess TNC has the good white folks praise & the bad white folks pressed sooo points??
>TNC and JW take extremely different views on the prisons, >schools, black on black crime, the role of the church, and >reparations for example
Yes, true...you're correct.
>white conservatives give JW work because he expresses a Black >pov in line with their own
Cool lefty white liberals & their news outlets, etc. give TNC work b/c he (as you put it) eloquently expresses a Black pov in line w/ their own. White gaze is just gonna be a thing Black people deal w/ b/c well white supremacy is a thing.
>TNC's Reparations essay gave Fox news a coronary >
It did??...Points for TNC then lol. The reaction of angry racist bigoted news orgs aside, I saw a lot of thoughtful engagement w/ that piece.
>just say you don't like the style of writing.
I did. I am a sucker for style BUT I read too many dry ass, unnecessarily verbose scholarly articles to front on okp lol. The willful ignorance & erasure in TNC & JW writings are my biggest problems w/ their stuff. Also, they don't engage thoughtfully w/ critiques from Black people (particularly the women/queer folks).
JW dresses his >bullshit in "hip hop vernacular", TNC writes elegant punishing >mutant king's english. please dont do this
LoL, that's the thing for me...neither one does a particularly good job of addressing the bullshit. TNC is certainly less of a turd in his prose & politics tho. Is that what your reply is getting at, JW being more of a turd??...b/c like, duh @ that factoid lol.
