Care to provide some context? I clicked on the above link and I didn't see
anything there that seems very interesting or controversial. Is he from the
Anti Defamation League or some similar organization?

all I was saying - please make note of it -- is that people who r amazed by
Snowden/Greenwald revelations are people of relative privilege

…and no, it is not enough to say u r shocked by the scope of the NSA
operation…that is not a response to my point...

…but that's not a rebuttal. I agree it's a huge issue. Never denied that.
But r POC actually stunned that the US govt spies on people?...

…even the POC who rebutted did NOT say they were shocked that US spies, but
simply that they were upset by it and think it's a huge issue...

…or about caricatures of my argument (as in, I was "speaking for all
POC")…I said no POC shocked that US spies. So far no one has refuted..

Expand
Tim Wise @timjacobwise 13h

…and no one has actually showed how that argument is wrong. All criticism
of me has been ad hominem and about things I did not say...

Expand
Tim Wise @timjacobwise 13h

...That said…I have merely argued here that the SHOCK about US spying is
indicative of race/class/religious privilege….

The national security state is a normative condition to be attacked. No
argument there. On that level, I agree with Greenwald/Snowden...

Tim Wise @timjacobwise 13h

But y'all know that most of the libertarian "get govt off my back"
jackasses making a hero of Snowden don;t give a shit about profiling...
