Black School Desgregation Was a MISTAKE! CRT Derrick Bell & Thomas Sowell AGREE! Silent Covenants 1
Patreon page:
Newest Mindgasms Book Review that is part 1 in my new series on “Silent Covenants” by the lawyer and Critical Race Theorist named Derrick Bell. This video is about his opinion in the book that the American legal case of Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954 that ended with the Supreme Court desegregating black schools, was a mistake. He still thought that desegregation in general is morally good, but also that the way it was implemented assumed that missing white and black students would inherently solve problems of disproportionate outcomes for black students. Bell believes that the “separate but equal” clause should have been emphasized instead, focusing on giving equal funding to both black and white schools, and that desegregation should have been done more incrememtnally and gradually. This is very interesting because the Conservative economist, Thomas Sowell has made this same point many times before, and most people assume that critical race theorists like Derrick Bell are woke lefties.
Mindgasms Book Review on chapter 1 of the book called Cynical Theories by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. Lindsay is a former mathematician, and Pluckrose is a writer who runs Areo magazine. They became famous, along with the philosopher, Peter Boghossian, by getting involved with the so-called Intellectual Dark Web through supposedly exposing what they called grievance studies by submitting fake woke papers to academic journals, a small minority of which got published and not retracted. Cynical Theories is Pluckrose and Lindsay’s book filled with cherry-picking, oversimplifications, misinterpretations and intellectual laziness that lumps a whole bunch of different fields together, some of which are legitimate and interesting, while others really are woke nonsense. They claim that the roots of woke social justice warriors comes from the Critical Theorists in the infamous Frankfurt School, along with “Postmodernism,” Critical Race Theory, gender studies, whiteness studies, queer theory, anti-racism, feminism, Marxism, and basically any other ideology or philosophy that they don’t like. This video on chapter 1 is my detailed criticism of their bullshit claim that Postmodernism is literally the same as Critical Theory.
