I guess she was talking about blacks !!!! ??!!She talks about "them" dying off. She doesn't see it as a multi-racial problem. No "we" about it.Her entire posit is unrealistic. Racism, especially her special brand of it, is entrenched in her culture. That's why she says what she says. It won't matter how many of them die off, there will always be others to take their place.Like all of her fellow liberal theorists, she does not understand the nature of people. Emotional desires conquer rational knowledge.
They do, often -- this board demonstrates that every minute.
This isn't a "liberal", "conservative" or "political" issue though. It's about racism. That's a sociocultural issue. And those are far more entrenched and far slower-evolving than political ones. It's understandable to want them to evolve faster but maybe not realistic.
It's entrenched in both cultures, if one stipulates a "white culture" and a "black culture". But yes I'm inclined to agree it's simplistic to believe it turns over and goes away simply by a generation dying off. It's more complex than that. It's entrenched in literature, in pop culture, in employment, and certainly in the economic manifestations of the past centuries that have determined where everyone lives and what their future is. Those are characteristics that don't die off with a generation.
Although to be contextually accurate that wasn't the whole of her analysis here.
Clearly she does, since she pointedly did not specify a race. The OP did that. But he plugged it in out of nowhere. "Them" still applies as long as she herself is not part of said generation.
