Bicycling Magazine: "Cycling and the Power of White Privilege"

[basquebromance]

Because the article author can’t find a more saucy avenue for his thoughts, he had to opt for a cycling magazine

The benefit to being a sufficiently woke author is that you can write for any publication. You can write damn near the same article for Bicycling as you can for Modern Drummer, Kitesurfing Magazine, or Bass Angler.

Let's Talk About Cycling and the Power of White Privilege

“Anti-racist efforts within cycling must move beyond the euphemisms of inclusion, diversity, sensitivity, and allyship, and begin to seriously consider the dimensions of power at play.”

These publications are going to find out that the majority of their readers are getting sick of their woke stories, and are going to be buying less of their magazines. I love the writing at TIME, in-depth, well researched stories, but it is their choice of stories I am getting very tired of seeing. Their 'woke' coverage is the majority of their reporting, and I have informed them I will not be renewing my subscription.

However, the linked article brings up a specific incident, and a specific cyclist, however minor/trivial it appears to be. In actuality, it seems to further imply that free speech, however disagreeable it might be, is not allowed for a public figure without facing consequences, which the author implies is a direct result of white privilege.

Exactly. Such fools. White people know that it is much better to commit crimes using cars.

This is Cancel Culture

In late September, many in the sport turned a blind eye when it came to light that world-champion Chloe Dygert ‘liked’ several racist and transphobic tweets. One tweet said “white privilege doesn’t exist,” while another suggested that if football player Colin Kaepernick “realized that if he grew an afro and played the part of victim, he could scam the Black community out of millions.

The author picks on a woman champion, because of her observations and displeasure with Black-exploitation.
